Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Reservoir Dogs-Wouldn't call myself a huge fan of Tarratino's work(with the exception of Pulp Fiction), but I really liked this one. Thought the acting was top notch all around and the plot was pretty interesting in terms of the way it was told in a non-linear manner. I would give it a 8.5/10.

Still my favorite Tarantino film.


Finally watched Adjustment Bureau. Not bad. I enjoyed it while watching which counts for something. I think I can agree with its tomatometer of 72. I thought a lot of the acting was pretty bad, though. Not sure what people saw in Damon and Blunt's chemistry? It looked like they were two people that just wanted to film another movie to me.

And what was the deal with John Slattery (Roger Sterling to most and Richardson in the film)? His delivery was plain awful. He's much better on Mad Men.

Now Anthony Mackie (Harry Mitchell) was great. Dude needs to get titular roles. Too ignored in the industry.

I tried watching Conan The Barbarian with an open mind last night.....Yeah, I turned it off after a half hour. Just not my kinda thing.

Just saw Fast Five at the 3 dollar movie & I thought that was pretty good. A little over the top but I was expecting that so it was all good!

I thought Damon and Blunt were great together. Seemed so natural to me.

I liked it as well. For most of it. I wasn't a big fan of the ending.

"Oh, hey, yeah, the Chairman says this is okay now. We'll stop chasing you." It's like the writer wrote himself into a corner and didn't know how to get out of it.

You know, when they are being in love, I see it. I guess that's what counts. I had a hard time getting past Damon's acting.

Actually, I take it back now. I'm thinking it over and as I'm trying to figure out what scenes I hated most, I'm realizing now that it wasn't Damon's acting that I didn't like; it was the things he said and that's probably the fault of the script.

So I hated the writing.

And as for the writing...

Spoiler

Come on, this guy gets into a bar fight, beats up people, grows up in a bad neighborhood and becomes this bad *** congressman only to have his entire campaign ruined because he mooned someone in college? That was the biggest fraud of a reason to propel the story in the script. Gotta come up with something more dramatic than that especially when he's already being built up with such a negative character background and history.


I also agree about the ending being a cop-out for the most part. "You know what, we like you guys so we'll change things just for you." Boo. Basically, he ran and ran for no reason but just to see if he'll keep on running? Wow, talk about a let down. The entire idea of the Adjustment Bureau is cool. People in suits that course correct others? Awesome. The fact that they need hats to do their job...uh, stupid. Man, the more I talk about this film the more I realize why I found it "not bad."

Horrible Bosses.


6/10. Great cast, bad writing.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Kind of boring and uneventful. The first half of the movie could have almost been skipped, if you truly don't want to convince yourself to change the channel. Never did see the original, though. I liked the cast enough, Oliver Stone had a fresh take on the film's direction, and I got a new take on the stock market... but if you're going to revive an old film with a sequel, I just think it needs more bang.

Friends with Benefits. Very funny and Mila Kunis is well......there are no words

Jennifer Anniston in a bad movie? No way!

Arguably her best movie was Office Space.

The Lincoln Lawyer.

Damn good movie.

I'll argue that. Office Space was a good movie, but her role was circumstantial. Her best movie, if she has one was probably Bruce Almighty, but the Horrible Bosses crowd will most likely tell you it's that one.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Just got done watching 'Source Code' and it was pretty damn awesome. It really does a good job of sucking you in early and keeping you locked in. Loved it, 8.5/10 from me.....

Also watched Fat, sick and nearly dead today as well on Mike suggestion and it was pretty cool. I don't agree with everything in it 100% but it is a cool story and did encourage me to eat more fruit and veges and less processed crap.

Limitless. Interesting premise...I liked it, didn't love it. Above average.

That's not really her movie. She just happens to be in it as the Interchangeable Chick.

I'd say the best movie I've seen her in that was her's is probably Marley & Me.
