If you're watching all 3, you'll need all weekend for that!

My son wants to go to Cats and Dogs tomorrow. They gave it a 1/2 star out of four in the paper today.

Fletch

The Road

An uplifting, feelgood movie, just like the book.

3 Days of the Condor

If you enjoyed this movie ( I always have) you need to check out the new series on TV, Rubicon.

It is a movie that I have viewed many times, and I continue to enjoy it thoroughly. I happened upon it today on AMC, and I was compelled to abandon my other plans and watch it to the end.

Check out Rubicon. (AMC)

Shutter Island.

Carne Tremula,

21 Grams

The Kids are All Right
Exceptional.

Mia Wasisowska (sp?) is the heart of this movie while Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening are all exceptional.

W+A, while you, like me, will take exception to a particular sentence, there is a scene in this movie you will have an even more profound appreciation of than most.

This is an incredibly good movie... better than any movie released last year.

The ability to create real, flawed, sympathetic characters... just, wow...

Okay, I'm all in.

Thanks former15!

The Long Riders

Guns a'blazing with the Carradine, Keach, and Quaid boys. Great flick with a wonderful soundtrack by Ry Cooder.

Chloe

Not that good, and a surprising melodramatic film from Atom Egoyan, but a love scene between Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore kept me watching.

I finally saw Bottle Shock yesterday. I didn't think it was very good.

I caught about 3/4 of the movie on AMC too. Planned to watch Rubicon last night too, but got sidetracked so I'll see it through the "on demand" channel some time this week.

(500) Days of Summer

Decent movie, has Zoey Deschanel in it.

bad? my wife rented it recently, but i still somehow lucked out missed it.

The Girl Who Played with Fire.
2nd in the trilogy.
It's exciting and well made. I recommend it, but you should see the first one first, which is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
(Warning: Neither is a movie appropriate for a 15 year old or younger, in my view).
Swedish with subtitles

Salt..boy is Angelina thin

Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Almost as good as Paul Blart, Mall Cop.

With my 2 yo Finding Nemo

It's Complicated.

As usual Meryl Steep and Alec Baldwin are true professionals at what they do. I enjoyed it for what it was...The Steve Martin and Meryl Streep scene at her son's party was very funny.

Dinner for Schmucks

Zombieland. I liked this a lot.

Kick Ass.

Pretty much does.

I saw this a few days ago. Thought it was just a bit better than "ok". The cameo was my favorite part.

About what you expect. Some funny parts, some boring parts, too long. If you like Flight of the Conchords, not surprisingly Jemaine Clement steals the film for me.

If you like this type of film, you'll enjoy it. If not, you will hate it (more than some of the others). FKG (f/k/a MLV) and I had a good time - always nice when you can have a nice glass of riesling in the theatre for a summertime fluff movie

And hot. I saw this the other day. **1/2. Perfect popcorn summer escapism.

Yes - great cameo, and a great/funny end to his cameo!

Watched Greenberg last night. Did not like for it.

The Ghost Writer.

Not bad.

Well some people can't laugh at these stupid guy movies and some can.

Inception - Thought it was very good

Saw A-Team at the second run theatre and it was good cheap entertainment.

For the umpteenth time, Thirteen Days. Not a Costner fan in the slightest but thought his acting - and especially that of Bruce Greenwood and the rest of the ensemble - was excellent in this particular film.

A Single Man. Tough to describe how I felt about this. Not sure I would really recommend it, but I didn't necessarily dislike it. I guess it was just OK.
