Post when you are done. I don't want to talk it up, but I would say seasons 3 and 4 of Dexter are two of the best seasons of any TV show ever.

Yeah Tbird, glad to see you came around. Pretty enjoyable movie.

Yes it's an older movie but I just finished Law Abbiding Citizen. Let me say that I have a 2 year old daughter and a pregannt wife so 3 minutes into this movie I was seeking revenge.

Great movie !!!!

Death at a Funeral. OK - had some funny parts.

Just saw a double feature last night...expendables and piranha 3d

Piranha 3D was much more enjoyable than I anticipated...I like like horror/gore/b movies - if you do, you should you enjoy this fast paced cheesy flick with some superb cameos.

Expendables was a disaster - it may qualify as the worst movie of the year. Leaden dialogue, very serious, non sensical plot, boring action scenes, poor editing...the list goes on. It felt like a direct to video movie...and a bad one at that!

Inglorious Basterds
Very very good.

Ghost Writer- well done
Kick Ass- funny if you like the style
Youth without Youth- Metaphysical love story. Coppola directed, written, and produced starring Tim Roth whom I've liked since Reservoir Dogs. Francis must have been reading some Vonnegut and practicing total consciousness prior to/during this creation. A little too long but interesting with pretty decent cinematography.

sunshine cleaning, barely worthy of it's time.

Finished it last night. Unfortuately, I had heard about the "surprise" ending somewhere earlier, but I didn't let on to the family, also watching. Though they were shocked, it came as sort of an anti-climax to me.
Still a great season though!

The Ghost Writer
The Godfather
The Godfather II

Clash of the Titans. Meh...
Hannibal.

The Hangover for a second time. I laughed at it more than the first time.

Ben Hur

I had never seen it before. A bit slow at times, but the chariot race really is thrilling, even after all of these years.

At the movies:

Dinner for Schmucks

I was surprised at how funny this movie was. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Terminator Salvation over the weekend. It was OK.

Took my son to Nanny McPhee returns. He really enjoyed it.

Ran - Some very good battle scenes; in other parts it drags on a little bit.

The Full Monty

Life as a House.

Excellent movie. Kurosawa in color working his magic. Check out Dreams sometime. Little known movie by this great filmmaker.

+1

Rudy -- Not a Notre Dame fan and this film's kind of schmaltzy, etc, etc.

Still, college football season is upon us so I couldn't resist!

The Man from Earth, written by Jerome Bixby of Star Trek fame.
Interesting story of a college professor, who at his goodbye party, reveals to his colleagues that he has lived for 14,000 years. They get into a facinating discussion involving anthropolgy, biology, history, archeology, and religion.

Terminator 3

SKYNET is the virus

Cop Out. A few funny moments, but generally not very good.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Departures
Japanese movie. Good acting and story line.
Nice music.

You need to catch The Girl Who Played with Fire soon, before the third movie comes out this Fall.

TGWTDT was on On Demand, so I'm planning on catching the next one On Demand as well. We'll try to catch the 3rd one in theaters, The Girl Who Played with Fire has stopped playing in Houston already.

Did you see our Angelika closed?

Dang, I'd hate to know your opinion of Indianapolis!

Took my son to Ramona and Beezus. He enjoyed it.

Requiem for a Dream

Very good movie. Still, I gotta quit watching this kind of stuff (unnerving and disturbing as hell) too late at night... keeps me awake too long afterward.

The Kids are All Right: *** Excellent film.

Valentine's Day

step brothers. a few laughable parts, not much else.

State of Play and Hot Tub Time Machine over the past couple nights. I liked State of Play, but not so much for Hot Tub Time Machine.

Shutter Island

Clash of the Titans, meh.

Batman: Under the Red Hood Actually pretty good, if you're into that. More adult oriented than broadcast animation.

What About Bob?
Classic.
