have you ever thought that maybe the only movies he has ever seen are Godfather I & II, Casablanca, The Graduate, Schindler's List, Citizen Kane and the original Star Wars?

The movie just never drew me in for some reason. It never caught my interest.

I'm also not partial to movies where everyone has a strong accent and you have to strain to listen to make sure you know what the **** they just said.

I won't give spoilers but the one thing the main characters were driving towards was never really explained which was stupid. Also I love violence in movies but in this film there were times there was shooting just to add minutes to the movie. It was the least entertaining film I've seen in a while. I know it got high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes but this is a time I'd have to disagree.

For what it's worth my wife hated as well as sis three of my friends when I posted my status on facebook saying I hated it so I'm not the only one in the world who feels this way.

Ill second this. It was really well made, but just bored me. Maybe someday ill give it a second chance, but not anytime soon.

The following movies are now available on Netflix Instant:

Seven Samurai
The Battle of Algiers
The Seventh Seal
Radio Bikini

If you want to understand modern insurgencies, I cannot recommend The Battle of Algiers highly enough (along with Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth).

Radio Bikini is about the Crossroads tests on Bikini Atoll in 1946. It's only 50 minutes long. It's an absolute must view.

I have the Criterions of both of those disks. Great movies.

I have the Seventh Seal Criterion. It's actually the only Criterion I own.

So, finally caught The Hurt Locker.

Really only one thing I question, if one of of you military types (or someone else) could answer:

Spoiler!
Yes. In fact a Canadian sniper killed a Taliban at about triple that. It is a great deal of luck, but without the skill it would be like winning the lottery, with the skill it's more like winning your office NCAA pool.

Watched Zombieland last night. Really like the way it started off but it bogged down in the middle for me. Good kills. I have a personal dislike for the curly headed kid, just something about the way he looks and his mannerisms kill me. Overall an entertaining movie and I'll probably watch it again which is rare for me do.

You are an apalling human being. The movie is great for its masterclass in direction and cinematography. That it has a compelling (for most people) story is icing on the cake. Also, I don't know what you mean by an unexplained drive in the plot. It seemed pretty well explained to me.

Sucked-could have been a good one-but never really went anywhere.

Smokin Aces 2 sucked-lame story-good actors-pass!

Ong Bak 2

Tony Jaa once again proves he is the best martial artist in the world right now. I am a HUGE Jet Li fan-bu i think he has passed the torch to Tony. this kid does his own stunts-wrote and directed the movie and did all the action. WOW!!

Cant wait for Ong Bak 3

Was the victim running?

I personally find it apalling that one would think that one's worth as a person could be dispositively devined by his or her opinion on a movie, particularly if it's 'meh.'
Maybe if someone opined that Schindler's List was about German's 'kicking ass,' but otherwise, that's a tad overwrought.
Or maybe you meant 'appalling human being' in the sense that he simply offended your sense of smug.
