"No Country for Old Men"

Ironman.

The Contender. Very nice movie. Woman VP candidate in a sex scandal. Ooh la la.

Kingdom of Heaven - The Director's Cut

Worthwhile watching the director's version of this movie

The Sting.

How was it?

Two nights ago I saw Iron Man. I'm ambivelant on it. 10 minutes in I knew every single plot point and how the movie would end... because I've seen "this movie" 100 times. That said, Iron Man is better than 90%+ of those movies in most regards -- better acting, better dialouge, etc. The villain, who, again, you instantly know is the villain the second he first appears on screen, it is revealed is cartoonishly evil at the very end -- and the final battle leaves a bit to be desired. Those reservations aside, however, the movie is entertaining so I reccomend it for mindless fun. But this isn't a good movie the way some other super hero / action/adventure movies are. (eg. Dark Knight or Raiders of the Lost Ark)

The Happening. What a pile of crap...except for Zooey Deschanel's beautiful blue eyes. M. Night Shy...whatever his name is, is an overrated director. He got lucky with Sixth Sense.

Went to see the movie "Helvitica". It is about the eponymous font. The rise and fall and resurrection of a type of type.

I slept through a good portion of the movie. The parts for which I was awake, were really boring.
Perhaps the most boring, stupid movie I've ever seen.

i had high expectations for it when it first came out...it came and went pretty fast so i am pretty sure your review is spot on...bummer...

Watched Burn After Reading this past weekend. I found it very entertaining (I’m a pretty easy movie critic for what it’s worth). Typical quirkiness you would expect from the Coen brothers. Brad Pitt was actually pretty funny. I find he is at his best when he is playing more of an odd character (Snatch/Fight Club/etc). Anyways, I would recommend if you are looking for a laugh.

I popped in Sideways this weekend for the heck of it.

Watched The Grudge again last night. That movie still scares the s#*% out of me.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult

Ocean's Thirteen

W (pronounced dub-ya).

My wife and I saw "Ghost Town." Unexpectedly entertaining. Hysterically funny, poignant and affirming. It's the date movie of the decade.

My daughter wanted to rent Across the Universe. Eh, she's into musicals these days.
I thought it would be some pos like Moulin Rouge!, but it turned out to have a decent story to go with it, and some good singing by an attractive cast of unknowns (to me, anyway.)

shoot 'em up. good family entertainment!

Took my son to wall-e and was fun but had some strange political overtones to the movie.

Proof of Life - A fairly decent movie about a US oil company worker who is kidnapped in a South American country, and the ransom negotiator (Russell Crowe) who works with the wife to secure his return.

Two little bones to pick: (1) None of the special forces trained operatives seem to have heard of this wonderful device called a "silencer" which you can put on a gun instead of having to use a knife; and (2) when infiltrating an enemy post, it is usually better to do so at night, especially if you have access to high-tech equipment and the enemy does not.

Platoon

Last night: Black Book (Netherlands)(excellent movie)

Casino Royale.
