Harold and Kumar 2 - shut it off 20 mins in cause it sucked. Loved the first one though.

It's great for laughs if you take it for what it is. The humor is much more broad than the first, but I still loved it.


I watched Wanted, and it was terrible.

Tenacious D-Everytime I watch that movie it's like watching a rerun of a Martin episode. Still funny after seeing it the first 200 times.

House Party-Don't know how I hated this movie but after watching it again, it was funny as hell. That Kid n' Play dance might be the greatest dance ever created. My girl Tisha Campbell though....Goodness Gracious man.

Re: I Just Watched...

Almost everything i post here will be an old movie. If you guys get tired of that just let me know and i'll stop posting in here.

Anyways here's what I typed up at another forum I frequent:


The Two-Headed Spy 1957


This is a pretty good espionage movie directed by Andre De Toth. It stars Jack Hawkins as a German officer ,who secretly refuses the nazi ideology and who passes on military information to the Allies. Unfortunately De Toth wanted to stick with the facts of the story so we're never told why exactly Hawkins' character would have these feelings and do this. Nonetheless, he has contacts within the British espionage services as he originally came from Britain. At first he hands all his information to a kindly old antiques dealer who is more then what he seems.

Later on in the movie Hawkins' adujant starts to have doubts about his superior and thinks that Hawkins may be a traitor unfortunately for him he never gets the goods. Hawkins eventually falls for and finds out that a lovely singer (played by Gia Scalla) also works for the espionage service and they try to get as much information out as they can.

The movie is basically a race against Hawkins' superiors and such as they start to see that he may be the mole in the General staff who's giving military secrets away. His adujant is the main one who goes after him. It's a pretty taunt film. The only thing it really lacked was a big action sequence.

Another thing, there were some scenes with Hitler (you never see him though) where he's yelling, screaming and basically the caricature image of him that people had of him at that time. I think it would've been a lot better if they made Hitler a little less the maniacal fool and be a little more lucid. I don't know how much the world knew of the more lucid Hitler in that time period so maybe it's not completely the fault of the screenwriter.

Overall, I give this movie a strong *** stars.

Oh yeah, I never heard of Gia Scalla but she was very beautiful and unlike a lot of pinup type women in film now and then, she could actually act. It's a shame what a read tho as she apparently died of an overdose.

Lately I've seen:

Freedom Writers - Great, inspirtational movie with some incredibly tough scenes, emotional-wise, to watch. I'm incredibly glad I watched it, though, and would really recommend it.

The Great Debaters - Denzel leading a movie, to me, is always gold and this one didn't disappoint at all. Deals with some tough racial subjects and depicts them all very well without going over-board for reaction. Again, I'd recommend it.

Doomsday - A lot better than I thought it'd be. It was like a mix of...Resident Evil, The Warriors, and Gladiator, with a few sweet car chases and some damn good action sequences. Plus, the Warriors-like party scene was incredibly entertaining. I'd watch it if you don't have to pay.

21 - Honestly, a damn good movie. Spacey keeps the young cast going and it really works. I didn't think they'd be able to translate the book to the big-screen, but I was a fan of how it turned out. Another recommendation from me.


There were a couple of more...but I can't quite remember them all at the moment, honestly.

I watched Delta Force with Chuck Norris on AMC. I hadn't seen it 20 years. It was much worse than I remember it. Of course I was 11 the last time I saw it.

Re: I Just Watched...

Saw Clerks II the other day on cable. Hilarious, I'm becoming a big Kevin Smith fan, his writing is great, almost like I could just listen to the dialogue and have a good time.

100% agree, you should check out his Podcast its mad funny and is basically just like the dialogue from his movies

Re: I Just Watched...

I saw Employee of the Month on Showtime a few weeks ago. I don't say this about her often, but I thought Jessica Simpson was smokin'... even with those elephant ears!

LOL and the perfect time to drop your F-bomb in a PG-13 movie:

I just watched Alpha Dog for the third time. I absolutely loved this movie. Hirsch and Marquette are great, and Timberlake really surprised me. Plus Bruce Willis is the man.
