Sleepless Night on netflix...excellent French (subtitled) thriller/action movie...WB bought US rights...my guess is Statham in lead, and not as good.

Taking my son to Jack the Giant Slayer.

Duck Soup

For the 3,784th time.

Seven Psychopaths

I watched Napolean Dynamite for the first time all the way through. Some funny stuff, but that is one weird movie.

The Departed

Great call on Winter's Bone, excellent movie.

Just finished watching Dean Spanley. Loved this film, especially Peter O'Toole.

I've just been informed that I will be watching the final installment of the Twilight series tonight. Hope to be good and liquored up by then.

I'm laughing really hard right now! You might need to skip the wine and go straight to the hard stuff.

Bow! Bow to your Sensei!

The Three Stooges

Argo. Very well done.

The Master

Thank goodness I got a good nights sleep beforehand...and waited until after watching it to start drink heavily...and left my peyote in my other pants.

Amour. Remarkable film.

The one moment of violence in the film reminded me of The Official Story, 1985 Foreign Film Academy Award Winner for that moment when some lose control for just a few moments.

Indeed.

Side Effects

Ted
Thought I would hate it. I liked it alot.
Some subtle funny lines.

Prometheus - disappointment. I thought as a prequel to Alien it would be much better.

History of the Eagles, part one & part two.

Open Range - Duvall and Costner, decent western.

"Hiro Dreams of Sushi." If you love wine and food, which I believe most of you probably do since you're on these forums, this is a fantastic movie. It is about a chef in Japan who is considered to be the best Sushi chef in the world. It's a documentary, so not action packed of course, but fascinating

Fantastic flick. Jennifer Lawrence at her best (and was this her big screen debut?). I hope she doesn't meander in the same direction as lindsay lohan . . . that would be a huge waste of a great talent

Thanks! It's in my Netflix queue.

On Showtime On-Demand, The Eagles, Part one and two.
Three hour movie on the story of a great band!

Two more for consideration . . . "Jeff Who Lives at Home" and "Lars and the Real Doll."

I can't do justice to "Jeff Who Lives at Home" but it's a touching flick about a guy who has kind of lost his way in life but ultimately finds redemption.

"Lars and the Real Doll" is a hilarious movie about a lost soul in a small town who has ordered a "Real Doll" (e.g., pleasure doll) and seems to believe that this doll is in fact a real live person. The community rallies to support Lars in his delusion, and the shenanigans begin as he struggles to define the fine line between his imaginery life and the real life and real people around him

I've seen "Lars and the Real Girl". It was the first time that I was aware of Ryan Gosling as an actor. He was terrific in it.

tanglenet . . .I hate to admit this but until you said it, I don't think I was aware that it was Ryan Gosling. I saw the movie before he really started to pop up everyone so I assumed Lars was a newbie actor (which perhaps Gosling was back then). I need to watch this again . . . but agree his performace was terrific and refreshingly different from the action genres he's been in more recently

Seven Psychopaths

I liked it, but how could they not use a Gram Parsons song during the Joshua Tree sequence? Sam Rockwell was really good.

Silver Linings Playbook

Jennifer Lawrence. Wow. Amazing. Jaw dropping. Pretty good actress too.

Wild at Heart

Vanilla Sky

The Wild One

The Power of Art - Rothko ( documentary)

Life , Above All

Flight

EPL

Finally saw Argo. Meh.

What held more interest for me was the bonus feature on this DVD containing interviews with the actual "house guests", Tony Mendez and Kenneth Taylor describing what actually happened.
