No, but he tossed some footballs around with some people.

Underhanded, from two feet away, I'm sure.

Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie

Silly, over the top Power Ranger-y goodness.

The Social Network.

It was pretty good but not great. I would give it 6.9 I guess. Like a 2.5 star movie.

Really? I have yet to actually see it, but today I read the script and it blew me away.

It was good, but to me all it ended up being is: College kids hacking/using the computer, parties, a rise to fame while being a dick and a lawsuit... it was 'good' but I wasn't into it, like Inception or hell even Kick Ass. I don't really see much depth in it, yeah it has a theme but it's just done with a bit more style than other movies, it was good but personally I wouldn't call it great.

You might like it better than me though, I liked it but wouldn't really desire to buy it/rewatch it.

Repo Man - Great, high concept. Good dialogue. Interesting characters. I dug it.



Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer - Me and my youngest lazed about on the couch and watched this together . Pretty nice way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon.

The King's Speech was great and deserves any awards it wins. I think they're already engraving Colin Firth's Oscar.

A Prophet - A French crime drama about a young Arab man who becomes a runner for the Corsican mob in prison and slowly starts his own criminal empire. Unlike most American mob movies, this doesn't show a romanticised version of organized crime. The movie is brutal and very well-acted, though the ending is somewhat unsatisfying. Taken as a whole, this was an excellent movie. 4.5/5

I just watched that this morning. I agree. I did a mini review of it on my Tumblr account RE:AL3D Review

I have heard good things about this movie.

Hot Fuzz


I've mentioned before that I'm generally not a fan of British TV or movies, but I loved this. It was just great fun.

Mamet's whip-smart dialogue got in the way of the story at times, but overall it was a very effective and well-crafted thriller. Kilmer was refreshingly understated in his performance as well. 4/5 stars.

Yeah, Spartan was a good movie. I saw that and The Salton Sea in the same weekend. I'd never heard of either one before watching them but my wife said both were really good. And ,as usual, she was on point.

I watched this last night. Pretty interesting. I've been in to Mamet before, so there were plenty of times when I was thrown by certain turns of phrase or sudden peculiar acting. I did like how it just drops you in and doesn't really coddle you with much in the way of explaining exactly who certain people are and what they do. It just...is, and that's nice.

I watched it on TV this time. When it started I didn't think I'd be watching all of it. I figured I'd watch 5 minutes of it, not like it, and then turn it off. I didn't figure I'd get hooked and have to watch all of it. I fully plan to watch it on DVD soon though.

I just watched The Social Network. Very good movie. It deserves all of the awards it's getting.

The Dilemma

Kevin James and Vince Vaughn reprise their typical roles here. James is the awkward guy and Vaughn is the smooth talker everyone likes. Vaughn accidentally catches James' wife with another man and struggles with the decision of how/when to tell his best friend. It was pretty enjoyable and if you're a fan of either two, you'll probably dig it.

^ The only thing that makes me want to see that movie is Jennifer Connelly. She looks pretty damn cute in that Hawks jersey in the trailer.

The fam and I took a break from life for a while and watched How To Train Your Dragon. We all had a really good time with it.

I love her (although more so when she wasn't so skinny)

I just saw it as well. I agree it's good, and that Sorkin & Fincher both deserve praise, but I still feel that overall The King's Speech is a better film.

Just came in from "Green Hornet", I found it really good but not phenomenal. It was really really funny, like the bit with Britt hiring Cameron Diaz's character saying "You have balls. I like my women showing me balls" . Anyone notice the Lone Ranger poster in Britt's tv room? Loved the Bruce Lee refrence in Kato's drawings.

Some of the things I found not that great was the main bad guy. The dude felt kinda generic and his time before the movie was never really looked on. The midlife crisis bit was interesting so it decreased generic-ness by 25%.

The media pretty much neglected to mention if anone died or was just injured by the GH and Kato's crime stopping spree. Its a pet peeve of mine for suoerhero movies nowadays.

The editing could have made the movie more streamless and alittle less clunky in some parts.

I wasn't laughing at the film until the part when GH was first interacting with Kato. Its like the movie didn't know if the scenes were supposed to be funny or not.

Just finished The Other Guys I am so glad I Netflixed it instead of buying it. There was maybe 1 or 2 funny parts in the whole movie, and they weren't even that funny either.

The King's Speech.

All-around stellar.

Tried to watch The Fountain last night, but I found it hard to hear and just uninteresting so I didn't finish it.

I put on Hearts in Atlantis instead, based on the novel by Stephen King, which was a good movie.

I watched Case 39 and did a mini review at SpacedAsylum

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

The Kings Speech yesterday.

What a awesome film I have to say. I had high hopes and they were excedded. Perfect casting and surprisingly funny. Very hearfelt. When, soon to be, King George VI studdered through his speech in the begining and throughout the film I really felt for him.

I like movies like Tron, Jackass, and Inception (even though Inception is above the others), but Kings Speech is a FILM and piece of art and one the best movie of the year.
