It doesn't usually bother me to have to wait. The only thing it affects is that I generally can't join in any of the ChiefsPlanet discussions about these movies because by the time I've seen them, they're old news. I also have to avoid spoilers longer than some people do. |

If you liked Manhattan [probably his best, at least most widely accoladed], at least give Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters a try. |

Been rewatching 2009 film so that my best-of list will be nice and complete. Summer Hours is really, really good.
I'm waiting desperately for The White Ribbon to hit KC in a couple of weeks. |

Nice to see the Woody Allen love. A lot of my junior year of high school was spent watching probably 3/4 of all his movies. There's this charm about them that stands out. It's very comforting watching his movies. He's very skillful yet simple in his story telling, and it's best for allowing his humor to really shine through.

Skipped back to 2008: Ballast captures loneliness so well. Strong naturalistic performances from first-time actors and remarkably artistic cinematography.
|
In the Loop was hilarious. I love the British guys that are constantly berating everyone.
Also watched 500 days of Summer this weekend and liked it, but didn't love it. A few funny moments, good music and lots of crazy Zooey eyes. |
I watched In the Loop last night and enjoyed it. Really made me wish I could speak to people like that at my work.
|
Caught Fracture on TNT tonight. I had forgotten how good of a movie that is.
And in case you had forgotten, Anthony Hopkins is a BAMF. |
I saw "Zombieland" last night. It's a pretty good Zombie Killer film. The two main actors are Woody Harrelson and the nerdy guy from Adventureland. What you'll probably think to yourself is, that nerdy guy is doing a perfect Michael Cera impression, why didn't they just get Michael Cera?

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs - meh, worth a rent for the kids
All about Steve-not worth renting, even on netflix, but i think Luv will like it |
Watched Away We Go.
It was entertaining, but also annoying. Way too many over-the-top charicatures of people. One of the worst (but also the most entertaining) was the trustafarian professor and her freeloading granola husband. We, unfortunately, know quite a few parents like that in our circle of acquaintances. |

Watched Cabin Fever 2 couple hours ago not that bad of a sequel alot of over the top gore, medicore acting(at best), Giuseppe Andrews is annoying as hell though but the pool scene was very unnecessary :doh!:
|
Netflix finally sent a copy of The Hangover, watched it last night.
Had the rest of the movie been as funny as the pictures found on the phone in the credits, it would have been worth the wait. Still, a solid watch. Still waiting on The Hurt Locker and Zombieland. |
Re-watched Moon last night; it was as good as I remembered it being when I saw it in theaters.
I'll watch A Serious Man tonight. |
Got 'Moon' and 'A perfect getaway' from netflix today

Its a very anti-religious movie to me that regards its religious characters with something that moves beyond pity and into warmth. |
many parallels to the book of job. and the (whirlwind) tornado at the end. i dont know, many different interpretations. coens are masters at making you think
|
I hope to Christ that frazod never sees A Serious Man.

Double Impact is on Encore HD right now

It's pretty strange reading "salo" talk on this board. You will seriously have to make yourself sit through it. I own it. Burned copy. |

Shitty camera tricks, splits, and spin-kicks. I love jcvd! |
if you have netflix and use the instant watch feature, you should check out The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down. It was low budget, but the writing and acting was alright and it was pretty funny and based off of experience, it's pretty dead on, that stuff about the coke and what not, that is exactly how it goes.
|
Thanks to you guys on the decades best!
Moon - awesome Lars and the Real Girl - pretty damn good District 9 - I liked it Surrogates - sucked Next up: Pandorum Public Enemies Halloween II Phantasm III |

Thanks to the snow day yesterday, I watched She's Just Not That Into You (gf's choice) which wasn't actually that bad. Also watched I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. I loved the Tucker Max book, but the movie was pretty awful. |
Damn, I guess I just need to bitch about Netflix here and good things happen.
I had been waiting on The Hangover and The Hurt Locker for well over a month, and now I've received and watched Hangover and am getting HL tomorrow. Zombieland has been "very long wait" for 3 weeks, so I'll be curious to see how long it takes. |

I saw zombieland in the theaters.....came away extremely disappointed.
They hedged their bet...and what I mean by that....they could have made the humor much darker by having more kills (and more gory/funny kills at that). I'm a huge zombie movie fan....and like most of them....but this just didnt live up to the hype (in my opinion). |
I watched the original German version of Funny Games. Better than the remake.

Before The White Ribbon I had seen two previous Haneke films; Cache and The Time of the Wolf. I really disliked Time of the Wolf and while it did have some interesting things going for it, Cache overall didn't do much for me. Fortunately, while I found The White Ribbon to be of a similar style, it worked this time. It will probably take a second viewing on DVD to fully digest but I felt much of the praise about this one is deserving.

Just watched 500 Days of Summer. LOVED IT! Haven't read back to when everyone else was talking about it in here. Everyone hate it?
|
Just watched Surrogates. It wasn't as good as I hoped, but not a bad sci fi flick. I will say that the plot was very unoriginal, but the whole concept of the surrogates was kind of cool. Not great, but it didn't suck, either.

I got Felon in the Netflix today....

Tonight?
definitely, maybe |

500 Days of Summer is a great movie to watch if you need to please your wife or girlfriend. They will love it and it is a LOT better than any romantic comedy of the last 10 years (outside of Juno).

Saw "Shutter Island" last night. Very fun psychological thriller, but don't be expecting Scorcese's best.
|
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!

Have modern film audiences lost their innocence?

I second Buck's Shutter Island review. I do have a question as to what actually happened at the end though.
