    I saw Black Christmas last night and it was a complete waste of time.
    Black Christmas is horrible saw it in theaters when it game out and my wife bought it complete waste of money on 2 occasions for me.

    Children of Men-Very interesting movie starring Clive Owen. Its set in the year 2027 I believe in England, and humanity has lost its ability to reproduce. The last baby was born in 2009. The world is in chaos and Europe looks like it did in WWII. Anyways Clive Owen tries to protect an immigrant who he discovers is 8th months pregnant, the first pregnancy in decades. Terrorists, the police are all trying to attack then and they are in the middle of a war between terrorists and British troops tying to get to safety.

    The first hour moved kinda slow and I was starting to lose interest and found myself confused on why there is a war going on because it doesnt explain it to well. But the last 45 mins was done very well, there was an awesome battle scene where Clive Owen and the pregnant girl find themselves right in the middle of it. The whole movie was done with a hand-held camera kind of style and the battle scene reminded me a lot of Saving Private Ryan.

    This is definently a movie I'm going to have to watch again to fully understand it but I recommend it. 7/10

      Watched Weird Science last night. What a classic and I still laugh at it.

      80's teen comedy's were brilliant.

              Watched Taking of Pelham 123. It was alright. If you've seen Speed you've already seen this movie. Just a slightly different twist.

                You mean if you've seen the original Taking of Pelham 123, you've seen Speed, right?

                  Nah, the remake with Denzel and Travolta. Good, but not great.

                      I watched a documentary this afternoon called Planet B-Boy. It was pretty cool. I could have just watched 90 minutes of straight break dancing, but it was nice following some of the groups and then seeing the finals. I definitely recommend it to any hip-hop fans.

                          Moon is a great movie and I still can't believe how they got it to look so great with such a small budget. I can't wait to get it on Blu Ray.

                          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                            great movie. One of my all time favorites. That last scene (about 20 minutes or so) was all one continuous shot.

                              I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off on blu ray. Still a class high school movie, but not worth the upgrade if you already have it on dvd.

                                Went to go see "A Christmas carol" yesterday and was very disappointed with the story. They should have stuck with the storyline more as the trips with the ghost's of Christmas past, present and future lacked content, which really should have been where the meat of the story was. The movie has very dark(in emotion) and had a very serious nature to it. This is not a movie to take your children to as there were really no light moments for kids to enjoy. Disney blew it on this one. Save your money!

                                The only bright spot is that the voice acting was excellent.
