Classic.

I caught part of the movie this week as well.

Just a wonderfully funny movie... It is odd, but I find my favorite Bill Murray movies often are the ones that go unnoticed... This and Kingpin, in my view are him at his funniest, but neither is often discussed.

Also, Richard Dreyfus was brilliant in What About Bob?

Millenium 2 and 3.

I don't think I'll bother reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest now.

Zombieland

So much better than I expected. Kind of tired of the "poor man's Michael Cera" already though.

Funny movie as I recall, but the only problem I had with it, was that that's the way I pictured Bill Murray to be in real life.

Are you a heterosexual male?

I agree on Jesse Eisenberg, though. Though, if The Social Network gets good reviews, which I bet it will, I will see it.

Winetarelli, I have asked myself the same question about young Nolan several times.

Good Meh....

Invictus

Date Night. Meh...

Slumdog Millionaire. The only reason this movie won the "Best Picture" Oscar is a weak year. It was OK but not worthy of the award.

Maybe you guys should reread the original post, pay attention to user names.

So in response to iamangelaplease which, come to think of it, may not be a heterosexual male based upon the name and may be a woman called "Angela"

I watched 3:10 to Yuma yesterday on the plane from Toronto.

Original or remake. Never saw the original, like the remake, though.

Circa 2007.

The Evil That Men Do.

I actually read that book several years ago. It was better than the movie.

My wife was a Music & Theater Major in college; therefore, she can't get enought of musicals. And seeing how I have been controlling the Netflix queue lately with my selections, I agreed to let her pick the next movie. So, last night, I watched, for the first time, West Side Story. I must admit that the music and dancing were very, very good.

Yes, control of the Netflix queue requires very delicate diplomatic skills with the spouse.

Kick Ass
Much better and more entertaining than I thought it would be. Definately cartoonish, but in the more recent, graphic novel sort of way.

My Cousin Vinny

Still holding up well. And Marissa Tomei was smokin' in that movie.

She wasn't chopped liver in The Wrestler.

Somewhere, George Costanza was salivating.

2012. Not good and way too long.

The Parallax View. (Circa 1974)

The Taking of Pelham 123. Denzel & Travolta & action = very entertaining.

"District 9"

What a huge disappointment! A Peter Jackson (King Kong & Lord of the Rings) movie, I was expecting a lot! Most all of the reviews were excellent, and it was nominated for an Academy Award.-------However, it was 2 hours of disgust for me; no, not 2 hours, as I turned it off!

Aliens come to Earth, resembling Giant Prawns that walk, talk an alien language, and are scavengers. Let's see; These creatures are smart and disciplined enough for interplanetary travel, but otherwise, they are scavengers, rooting through garbage, and living in garbage! I never saw the ending, and turned it off after 45 minutes of wasted time.

Although everyone seems to rave about "District 9", this was just not my kind of movie! Two thumbs down!

The Terminator.

Linda Hamilton still looks good and is still kicking a$$ on Chuck this season.

Up in the Air
Excellent

Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps

In Guatemala, with Spanish subtitles, sitting in oversized Lazy Boys, while being served lunch. For $7 each. Very cool.

As for the movie, it almost seemed like a patchwork effort of chunks of platline, to take advantage of the success of the original (including the original cast) combined with the lessons, whatever they were, of the recent financial crisis. But we still liked it.

Temple Grandin and Michael Jackson's This is It.

bman, overall, very good reviews it seems.

Good to see you posting again.

I'd like to see the new Wall Street movie. I was always a fan of the old one.

The Bank Dick.

I believe the last time I was in a Blockbuster or Hollywood video store was several years ago when I asked the pimply-faced teen in charge if they had any W.C. Fields movies in their Classics section.
He didn't know who I was talking about.

Iron Man 2.
