Yes, agree, but it was so depressing it made me want to go to the baby goat petting zoo and go watch old videos of "Up with People!"
Have you seen the equally joyless, but superior (IMO), Amorres Perros?
On another note, I just saw the new buddy flick Step Brothers. I went in expecting a piece of junk. A bit long, horrible acting, but some real laughs. I'd recommend if you like the genre.
Just watched La Vie En Rose,
of course HBO has been re running Revenge of the Nerds alot latley.

Watched The Fly on blu-ray last nite...just awesome!
A couple of nights ago, Gone Bayby, Gone -- GREAT! One of the best movies of last year.
I think tonight I am going to re-watch Pan's Labyrinth -- that IS my favorite movie of two years ago. Alternatively, depending upon my mood, I'll watch that movie with Krisetn Bell and Russell Brand that Apatow produced, if it is already on DVD.
P.S. W+A, while I like Babel I thought it was easily the least of the "Three Amigos'" movies that year. I'f you've not seen Children of Men or, even better, Pan's Labyrinth, get on it. Astounding films, especially the latter.

I saw Pineapple Express on Wednesday. It wasn't my first choice. I give it a C, which is lower than the early yahoo reviews. Lots of laughs and plenty of drug related humor, but the story line was just too weak and unimaginative to make it great. The movie probably would be much better if you smoked 'em before you went.

Yes, agree, but it was so depressing... Did you see 21 Grams?

winetarelli, thanks for the heads-up. I have really fallen down on the job of movie watching the last couple of years.
I will indeed seek these out.
Dude, where's my car..
Fat Girl.
Shine a Light (Stones/Scorsese). I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. Jagger was in fine form and Richards actually played guitar instead of just posing. With the exception of Start Me Up and Satisfaction, the setlist was excellent, and Scorsese knows how to make movies. Recommended, especially for fans.
W+A:
Did you see 21 Grams?
Yes, I did, it was excellent, but I found myself not caring particularly about the characters. Maybe my state of mind that day.
Amorres Perros is a must see (disclaimer, some simulated dog fights, not for the squeamish).

Talk about an eclectic mix!

Lawrence of Arabia is wonderful, hope you enjoyed it. I had the chance to see it on the big screen a couple of years ago, and it's on my very short list of best movies ever made.
Yes, I did enjoy it. A thought the pacing was great: for a 4 hour movie, the time just flew by...
I saw Lawrence of Arabia at a concert hall on a huge screen awhile back and it was incredible.
Don't know what got into us, but we saw two movies today: Bottle Shock (pass), and Tropic Thunder (pass).
Recently saw the recent Batman movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. Last night saw Hancock and was much less impressed. Had received some Fandango bucks at Christmas and finally taking the time to use them. Should come in handy when the Oscar potentials start coming out this fall. Looking forward to the new Pacino/De Niro film.
Raging Bull and There Will Be Blood. While they are very different stories, what I liked most about each was the same: first-rate performances by the leading actors (DeNiro & Lewis) and interesting insights into aberrative (paranoid, malicious, self-destructive) behavior. Both get the thumbs up.
What did my fellow movie fans think of The Departed?
