Revisited Young Frankenstein. Classic.
Pineapple Express.
What, for the love of God, made inclined me to rent this flick?
A complete waste of time. Like a bad nightmare you can't wake up from.

Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder at their absolute best. Pure comedic genius.

Much more humorus than expected. Well done for the type of movie it is.
Man on Wire
Very good, indeed. Thanks for the rec, w+a.

Watched Burn After Reading Last Night, really liked it. Funny how the critics split on this one, but I thought it was good. Minor in the Cohen's Canon maybe, but a success nonetheless
The Duchess (better than I expected)
Dancing at the Blue Iguana
Swimming Pool.
My wife and I went last night to see Benjamin Buttons. What a Wonderfull movie! I needed to get up and go pee (it was 3 hours long) but didn't want to miss a second!
My wife was considering sending in the medics when I stayed so long after the movie.

W+A, I really like Swimming Pool, if Naked Ludevine for half a movie is good enough but the bizzaro ending really sells it!
Frost/Nixon: ***
Benjamin Button - pretty good.
The Wrestler - Awesome.
Taken - Amazing.
Just saw 1986's 'Youngblood'. Didn't know it existed! Excellent.
Dying to see Slumdog Millionaire...

Sandy-
For future reference, an empty popcorn bucket or fountain drink cup will work just fine. However, it can be somewhat distracting for other people in your row.

OK! OK! I'm going to see it already!
On The Waterfront. I'd never seen it before. What a classic.

Wow. We had totally different experiences. Saw this last night, and I got a chuckle out of George Clooney "discharging" his firearm, but other than that, what a complete waste of time! At least in the other Cohen movies there is a charactor or two you can care about, but not a one in this case. The only one I felt for was the CIA director who was trying to make sense of all of it. I felt his pain.
The Coen Bros. ought to be ashamed of this half-baked mess.
October Sky - Every time I see it I enjoy it even more. A well made, well acted movie, IMO.
The Day The Earth Stood Still. Dumb remake.
Gran Torino. Very entertaining Eastwood and supporting cast.

mneeley490, I do totally disagree about Burn After Reading. I wouldn't say I care about the characters, though perhaps a bit for JMalk's character, but I like the feel of it, the smooth ride. I think that would have to explain the critical mixed reviews too. In EW you have Lisa panning it and Gabe putting it on his ten best of '08. I am not sure how far to that end I would go, but my wife and I both enjoyed it.
Last night we watched Tropic Thunder, which I thought was okay. Many critics really liked this too, but I thought it was okay, but just okay, no better.

Gran Torino this afternoon.
Fun. Uncomfortable at times, with a TON of racist slurs courtesy of Clint, but an entertaining couple of hours with some good performances by many. Ahney Her, as the daughter next door was very good I thought.

PH, How can you be watching a movie when you're supposed to be getting on your fellow Marylanders to declare some wines for the offline???
I was LMAO at Eastwood's slurs. Agree qith Ahney Her's performance.quote:Originally posted by PurpleHaze:

OMG. Ludivine Sagnier was so hot and very naked in that movie. Bravo!

Very good movie. Probably the best movie I've seen this year. You could tell it was originally a play. Very Mamet-like pacing. A "this ishow to act" workshop with Phillip Seymore Hoffman and Amy Adams giving stellar performances... but oh my! Meryl Streep was just incredible. There simply is no better living actress. To see two masterful actors like Adams and Hoffman and then see how much better she is than them... absolutely remarkable. But perhaps even more remarkable, still, is that there is one three minute scene where a woman who is only in this one scene, actually stands her ground to Streep... I had never seen this woman before, but for this one small scene I would say she should be nominated for the best supporting actress Oscar... and maybe she should win it. Not a 'feel good' movie, but not depressing at all either. Highly reccomended.
[side note] The above review was written a few days ago and I was just too lazy to post it. The woman's name is Viola Davis, she was nominated for the Golden Globe, and they say she is likely to be nominated for an Oscar. So, good for her!

A brilliant movie. I have been trying to get KSC02 to go, but he is playing hard to get.
It is in my Top 10 of the year.
A friend of mine son worked on the movie. I will email you soon.

I'm just a bit slow to get out to the cinema some times.
