Good flick. Crazy how poor some parts of the world are.

I knew better. Why why why why why

I think this is the worst movie I have ever seen and possibly the worst movie ever made. I prefer Sci Fi channel direct to tv movies, such as Piranacanda and Sharktopus, over this.

Supergator was excellent.

I thought it was good for the context of the story; we enjoyed it.

Did you not like the movie or do you not like that genre as a whole? Im asking because I have read and heard some pretty good reviews of it.

I heard the same, just wasn't impressed or even entertained by, the movie. Maybe it's just me.

Waste Land, an amazing documentary about people who pick through trash in a vast landfill outside Rio de Janeiro, and about Vik Muniz, an artist who brought the catadores to world attention. This is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the power of art to transform, to heal, and to mobilize. The movie snuck up on me and evoked quite an emotional response. When the catadores saw the finished portraits Muniz had made of them, many of them wept. I did too. Highly recommended.

I rather enjoyed it.

Saw Tron: Legacy last night. THAT is a waste of time.

Black Swan

The Next Three Days

It's OK

TRON: Legacy

Fair Game

Get Him to the Greek. Not awful, it had a few funny parts, but definitely would not say it was good.

Over the last week or so:

Heavens Fall -- Inspired by the Scottsboro Nine incident in Alabama in the early 1930s. I enjoyed this quite a bit, though it was a tad depressing given the subject matter. A positive note to see that the "Yankee" lawyer gave the eulogy at the district attorney's funeral. Timothy Hutton played Sam Leibowitz (the Yankee Lawyer) and did a pretty good job except for an annoying accent. Also starred David Strathairn, who I like quite a bit, and he did a great job as always.

Talk to Me -- Another movie inspired by a true story and I liked this one too. I'm a fan of Don Cheadle also.

Paris Je T'aime -- Overall pretty boring and did nothing for me.

Gone with the wind

Saw a movie called "Holy Rollers" about drug smuggling Orthodox Jews. It was perhaps the most awful movie I have seen in a decade or so. The sound was particularly annoying. The story was stupid. The acting was horrid.
If movies were wine, it was seriously corked.

Arn: The Knight Templar

A guy sitting next to me last week on my flight from Vegas to Dallas allowed me to watch a Frankenstein movie he had staring Boris Karloff and others I did not know. (circa?)

It was actually very good.

Depending on which one it was, the others might have been Lon Chaney, Jr, Bela Lugosi, and Maria Ouspenskaya.

By the way, if you haven't read the book, Mary Shelley did a wonderful job and it's most definitely not a horror story. In a page and a half, Victor Frankenstein goes from discovering the secret of life to having the creature. There's no talk of grave robbing or body parts. I highly recommend it.

One of my favorite films, very underrated.

Before Night Falls.

Tron Legacy. Meh...

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. It was OK - entertaining, but nothing special.
