Superbad

I love movies where nerdy overweight geeks wind up with the hottest girls in the school.

I saw this again recently and could barely sit through this highly rated, multiple award winning, David Lean, film, as this film was cropped. I think you must see this film on the "big screen" to get the full effect, or rent a blu-ray DVD.

I feel the same about Lawrence of Arabia. I saw it two years ago at our Classic Movie Week here in Dallas on the mega screen and it was special.

Ditto. I've seen Lawrence of Arabia three times. Twice on "the big screen" and once, sitting only 10 feet away from a 50" Plasma. While the movie was wonderful on the TV, it deffinitely lost something. (side note: LoA has my favorite movie score ever.)

I thought a little "classic" movie talk might flush-out the Former 15!

Well, Lawrence of Arabia... I mean, come on!

I was reading the paper in the den last night with the TV on. One movie ended and Paul Blart, Mall Cop came on. I put down the paper and watched a little, then picked up the paper again. I propbably would have turned off the TV, but the remote control was remote. I caught some of the movie and thought it was not really worth watching, but there's a scene when the title character gets drunk at a party and I thought it was hysterical. Would I re3commend the movie? No, but I'd recommend checking out the drunk party scene.

I liked parts of this movie, but was really disappointed with the lack of effort over the last hour or so. Same exact thing with The Hangover

I enjoyed this as well...

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

Transformers 2

Didn't expect much, and still disappointed.

While in Paris:

Lucky Luke, true to the comic books and quite funny.

Mic Mac a Tire Largo, hilarious.

Took my son to Shorts yesterday.

Where the Wild Things Are

Land of the Lost

I was hoping for a mediocre movie without much upside...this film delivered.

I watched this on the flight back to LAX. Agree it was very mediocre, but I did chuckle at a couple scenes.

Click- watched this again last night. Wow, I didn't realize the "hot" wife was played by Kate Beckinsale. Smokin...

Yes, yes she is.

Leaves an impression, doesn't it? I found it a very grounding viewing experience.

Indeed, and I was very moved.
