You'll soon learn...it is a classic.
Brüno: ** 1/2
I’m guessing that is out of 5 stars? What did you like/not like? Did you like Borat?quote:Originally posted by indybob:

I just watched The Kite Runner on Friday night, which was OK, but mostly just because it reminded me how much I liked the book.
Saturday night, we watched Role Models and I thought it was funny and definitely worth watching. Some great lines in it.

What a difference between book and movie. Book fine, movie, not so much of interest

Just watched Angels&Demons.

Out of four stars. I liked it, but hard to follow in Borat's footsteps (*** 1/2). I was bummed I'd read so many reviews, felt like I'd seen the film already. Loved the karate studio/focus group/campout scenes especially. I'd recommend it, but as you know, it's not for the squeamish/conservative/prudish.
Cool. I’ll probably have to wait for DVD as Mrs. GlennK can’t watch that kind of stuff. She feels too embarrassed for the people involved to enjoy herself. It’s rare that a commercial will make me laugh out loud but the scene where he says he named his baby OJ gets me every time.quote:Originally posted by indybob:quote:Originally posted by GlennK:I’m guessing that is out of 5 stars?

Same with my wife. I went with a buddy instead. There was an elderly couple a couple of rows up from us, but they stayed the whole time and had smiles when they left. 
The killing room.

Really didn't do it for me. Not even a little bit.

The Promotion - with John C Reilly and Stifler.
it was ok but not overly funny.

Saw Mamma Mia also. Pierce Brosnan is a horrible singer. Entertaining movie, but nothing special. Maybe its because I'm not a big ABBA Fan, though I did like the show Chess
The Godfather.

I would not have been as good without the foreplay of the first movie!
Revisited Fargo.

Technically speaking, mwg, isn't Fargo just down the road a piece?
About three hours on a good day.
Watchmen - best movie I have seen in a very long time.
International - a solid entertaining movie.
Gran Torrino - ok.

My favorite movie of all time.

Nah. Part II is awesome, but it doesn't have the same storyline of slow transformation. Love it, though.
Great movie!quote:Originally posted by Mezzo Litro:

I agree that listening to Pierce Brosnan was barely tolerable. He is an exceptionally skilled actor, but shouldn't do musicals.
Watched Coco avant Chanel tonight and I have to say it was excellent. Easily one of the best movies I have seen in some time. Audrey Tautou was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Agreed. Put him on the list along with Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagon.

It was silly, but enjoyable IMO.
I finally saw The Wrestler. What a great movie.
And now: Hero
An absolutely beautiful movie. One of my favorites of the last several years. One I think I will watch once a year now. And I'd like to retract what I said about the story before (it being lacking). I think this is a very well told fable from multiple points of view. I also appreciate the cinematography and symbolism. Enjoyed this one, yet again.

I watched this movie with my autistic son last year when he was 17. I knew he'd like the martial arts scenes (some of the most fantastic wire-work over a lake I've ever seen), but I think he really got into the story and message as well. I don't know if he connected through the different colors or what. He was very intrigued by the ending. I won't spoil it for those who haven't yet seen it, but it was the first time I can remember him asking me questions about what went on, on a deeper level than just the entertainment aspect.
So yeah, a big thumbs up from me!
Great to hear.
