Are you talking about circa 1984?

If so, yes.

Classic.

Chloe

As with all of Egoyan's films, beautifully shot, incredibly attractive cast, some erotic scenes, but doesn't live up to his other films such as Exotica.

Glad everything is ok and your cellar is as you left it.

Helvetica -- Interesting documentary on . . . you guessed it, Helvetica.

Win Win: Meh Meh **1/2

Unknown.

Invincible

Tron(ok)
The Tourist(bleh)
3 idiots(good)
Carlos the Jackal(2010) Fantastic movie!!

Water For Elephants- excellent! Once again, Christoph Waltz excels in a villainous role.

Touch of Evil....intriguing ending.

Selena... it was just on TV.

Sunset Boulevard. ***1/2
Cool Hand Luke. ****
The Illusionist (2010). **

i finally caught the kids are alright and liked it better than i thought i would.

The Town.

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest. I didn't care for this nearly as much as the first two movies, despite enjoying the book moreso than the second book.

My wife and I finally watched The King's Speech. We both thought it was an excellent movie.

Memo to Christian Bale: I enjoyed your performance in The Fighter very much; however, the award should have gone to Geoffrey Rush.

The Grey Zone

Dead Again

I could go on and on about how big of a role this movie played in my pre-teens. Basically, this is the first movie I ever saw that I watched critically and considered to be work product. I hadn't seen it in years. Even knowing the plot twists, this remains a great piece of work, imo. One of those movies that may never have gotten the critical acclaim / awards / money it deserved, but when you mention it to another movie lover, his face normally just lights up -- rightfully so. It is excellent. And for those who've not seen it, my understanding is that it is the movie that thrust Ken Branagh and Emma Thompson both into the 'star' category, and you should rent it.

Fast Five: ** 1/2

The A-Team. I thought it was OK, which topped my expectations.

Green Hornet

The 10 yr old loved it. I found it tedious.

Taking my son to see Hop today before the derby.

Watching Half Baked on cable. Reminds me of college...

Unstoppable

Ditto and Ditto.

Black Swan - in spite of the naughty parts, my wife liked it more than I. Hmmm...perhaps she liked it more because of the naughty parts!

What a smart collector, and what a brilliant collection.

Recovering from double hernia surgery, I loaded up on a few mindless movies and one good one.

Knight and Day -- certainly filled the mindless part of the criteria. Cameron Diaz was nice to look at.
Unstoppable -- again, mindless movie. Predictable but not bad.
Inception -- a few holes in it, but I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.
Quantum Solace (or something like that -- most recent James Bond flick I believe) -- actually have only watched about half as I was falling asleep. Typical James Bond action. Might have been the pain pill I took, but the action sequences seemed as if they were speeded up a bit.

Inception

The Fighter

The Mummy. Circa 1932 with Boris Karloff.

"He went for a little walk." great scene

A-Team: I loved it, good action, humorous, Jessica Beal + her body.

Secretariat.
31 lengths in the Belmont.
It's amazing when you know the outcome of a race ahead of time and you still can't believe it.

Love and Other Drugs - Did not realize I was going to see Anne Hathaway naked. A nice added bonus.

The Matrix - Showing its age just a little bit.
