How was Religulous? Any good?

Not bad. At times funny, at times scary. It depends on whether you like Maher and which side of the "debate" you are on.

Ditto on Manhattan: Def. **** Need to see this again soon.

Primordeal, have you seen "Fear and Loathing in LV"?

Another HSThompson portrayal, and directed with more creative license.

I missed your warning, which is a bummer. Normally, these guys are pretty funny, but this was just painful.

Am I to understand that you don't particularly have an appreciation for the artist?
Is it his painting or his philosophy that you dislike?

This is actually a movie based on a woman buying a painting at a garage sale thought to be a Jackson Pollock. I haven't seen this though. Maybe wine+art can recommend?

Ahhhh...my apologies.
I was not aware of this movie at all.
I thought w+a was referring to the Jackson Pollock movie itself and he was making a derogatory reference
to the artist.

Thanks for the correction.

In that case.... how was it? Worth seeing?

That time of the school year again -

V for Vendetta....

KSC02, I'm a fan of Pollock, and enjoyed the Pollock movie with Ed Harris as well.

The movie I was referring to is more of a documentary about a women truck driver who buys a painting for $5 as a joke at as yard sale. A debate follows and is investigated by learned people from all over the world as to the question... Is this a Pollock painting?

As an art junking I may not be the best to judge, but I'm glad I watched it.

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - not bad for a Tuesday night dvd rental.

I enjoyed Rollergirl and always enjoy Phillip Seymour Hoffman's work.

Slumdog Millionaire - great movie. Oscar worthy.

Taken - very good, entertaining movie.

The finest living American actor, imo.

Wasn't he also "Dusty" in Twister?

Wasn't he also "Dusty" in Twister?[/QUOTE]Yes! I almost forgot "Rusty" in Flawless. Not a great movie, but I had to see PSH playing a drag queen.

I've been caught up in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Watched it three times over the past few days, and it just gets better and better. The catchy songs do get stuck in your head, though.
Who knew Neil Patrick Harris could sing?

Body of Lies

It's OK. Not a great movie, but fine for a Saturday afternoon.

I do think that Leo diCaprio is really coming into his own as an actor. He was also good in Blood Diamond.

Russell Crowe doesn't sparkle in this movie. I thought that his talent was wasted.

Blade Runner.

The last Mummy movie. It was absolutely awful. It was a NetFlix Blu-ray but we couldn't finish it. Stunk, stunk, stunk.
