This Memorial Day weekend, the family and I watched a ton of movies and so I thought I'd start a Movie Review thread.
Use the following icons in your review:
The worst movie ever and don't waste your money
OK....for a rental but not the theater
A good flick
The best movie I ever saw!!!!!

I don't watch enough movies.
I still need to get around to watching Quantum of Solace, and I really enjoy Bond films.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons
My wife and I stayed up till like 2am Saturday morning watching this DVD and it was the most boring movie I've ever seen.........My wife actually fell asleep at one point in the movie.
Posted by: cbware88 May 26 2009, 02:41 PM
has anybody seen The Night at the Museum II?? My kids want to go see it this weekend.
I really liked the first one but I'm worried about this one because of all the hype.............
Posted by: bigbluecolt93 May 26 2009, 02:54 PM
Terminator Salvation...
If I wasn't with friends, I would've walked out of the theater half way through. Just a bunch of explosions left and right. Absolutely horrendous...can't wait for Transformers to come out though

Terminator Salvation
Great action movie, much better than number 3 in my opinion. The storyline seems to flow well if you've seen the original Terminator(which I had to re-read the plot to the original on wikipedia as I was extremely confused). But anyone who is into action should go see it

I told my kids we would wait till this one came out on DVD and then do a Terminator marathon.

THE HANGOVER, Mike Tyson singing you can't beat that!
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones May 26 2009, 03:20 PM
The G.I Joe toy doesn't look stupid anymore. UP looks funnier than NATM2. And I was a fan of LOTL:TOS. I was watching a lot of the episodes yesterday on Sci-Fi (14-hour marathon).

Terminator Salvation:
Better than T3 overall, but very flawed. Most of the action scenes were well done and the machines looked cool on the big screen. The final 1/3 of the movie focuses on a different character who is less interesting than the main characters in the previous 2/3. And for something that is supposedly so smart, Skynet takes the most round-about way to stop John Conner. The ending was also very lame.
This article is an interesting read on the original plot of the movie:

Didn't they already do a movie about them? They go around hunting werewolves and vampires and such, etc....
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats May 26 2009, 04:30 PM
I think that's the Brothers Grimm with Heath Ledger and Matt Damon.

I thought it would be a good romantic movie for the wife and I............Boy wa I wrong. She said she kept waiting to see Brad Pitt naked
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats May 26 2009, 07:12 PM
I was also disappointed by Benjamin Button (though not by the lack of male nudity
). It neither connected with me emotionally nor did it really delve into the implications of aging backward.

Has anybody seen X-Men: Wolverine??? I want to go see it but my buddy said it sucks and I should wait until it comes out on DVD.
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats May 27 2009, 02:36 PM
Yeah, I agree with your buddy. Watch X-men 1 or 2 if you need a Wolverine fix.
Posted by: cardinal May 27 2009, 02:39 PM
4 Reviews here: (I saw all of these in theatres except for the last one)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I saw it and enjoyed it. It was a typical super hero movie. If you like super hero movies, watch it, if you don't, then don't watch it. It was like the Hulk, Spiderman, etc. It had a lot of action and kept me interested throughout the whole movie. The only complaint I have is that Cyclops, my favorite of the X-Men, looked really stupid. He was a high school kid with pink glasses.
Observe & Report.
This is probably the funniest comedy I've seen in 2 years. I was laughing out loud almost the entire movie. It is hilarious. It's about a security guard at a mall (Seth Rogen) trying to catch this guy running through the parking lot flashing everybody. It's rated R, so yes it does have a lot of swearing and crude humor and is not a "family movie". It is nothing like Paul Blart: Mall Cop, it is MUCH MUCH funnier. I definetely recommend you watch this.
The Haunting in Connecticut.
I came into this movie thinking it was going to be rediculously scary...and...it wasn't (I will go back to this shortly). I wouldn't give it a thumbs up, but it wasn't really a thumbs down either, I only gave it that rating because on cbware88's scale a thumbs down is considered OK and a movie worth renting. But like I said, it wasn't THAT scary of a movie. It did have a lot of those parts where a loud, short piano plays when a ghost walks by a mirror and stuff like that. It was just a good ghost story that apparently happened to a kid in 1987. You can look up the storyline for this movie somewhere else, it's hard for me to explain it to you without giving it away.
My Bloody Valentine
I gave this movie 2 thumpsdowns because there was no inbetween on the scale from "OK" to "worse movie ever don't waste your money." This movie is about a miner that kills people with a pick axe in a mine. It really isn't all that great, and there's much better horror movies out there. I personally thought The Haunting in Connecticut was a lot better than this.
sorry for the long read, hopefully you enjoyed.

Thanks Cardinal!!!!!!!!
Those were some good reviews.
I saw Mall Cop at the drive-in with the kids so that is why I passed on Observe and Report. Based on your review, I might have to reconsider.

Night at the Museum II
it was a good movie. defiantly a family movie.
Posted by: cbware88 May 28 2009, 12:28 PM
The drive-in is showing Up and Hannah Montana this weekend and my kids want to go..............I don't mind watching UP (It looks pretty funny) but I don't know about the other one.
Hey; do you guys remember back when MTV had the celebrity showdowns?? I think one version was a clay cartoon one and one version was a live one. How about we have a Hannah Montana/Britney Spears cage match!!!!!!! 
Posted by: cardinal May 28 2009, 02:23 PM
CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH. That was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
P.S. We should change the rating system for the reviews to a scale out of 10.
Posted by: cbware88 May 28 2009, 02:27 PM
Do you have a movie worthy of a ten thumbs up review?????
Posted by: cardinal May 29 2009, 02:15 PM
Not a recent one.

I heard the funniest thing on the radio today..........
The disjockey said he saw a movie about a guy who went shopping with his wife all day........it was called Drag me to Hell
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats May 29 2009, 10:57 PM
UP
This is why I love movies. It balances adventure, humor, and emotion perfectly. Both the story and the animation are great. I particularly thought the animators did a great job in capturing the mannerisms of a real dog. The first 10 minutes do a better job at exploring life and love than the entire running time of a certain Oscar-nominated picture from last year. Seeing it in 3D isn't essential, but worth it; it adds depth to the picture but is not so distracting that it takes you out of the story. Great movie for all ages and the best movie I've seen so far this year.

Your review is dead-on...............

At the risk of losing my man card, we also saw the movie Hannah Montana.......and...... my review is:
OK...... 
.....stop laughing everybody It was a good movie with a fairly good plot.

My kids want to go and see it.......we love Will Ferrell

The Hangover
One of the most consistently funny movies I've seen in a long time. I was laughing so hard that I probably missed some of the jokes. I can't go into much detail because it wouldn't be TCC-appropriate, but this is a hilarious movie.

If your expecting a Dirty Harry type movie, you will be disappointed. It's more along the lines of Tuesdays with Morrie or his other movie..................Unforgiven (which was actually better than this one)

It's an old movie, but:
Schindler's List.
I had to watch this for a movie review for a school report a couple years ago. However, the DVD (rented) wasn't in the best shape so it skipped a lot.
Monday night I re-watched a good portion of it on HBO. This is one of the best movies of all-time. One of my favorite parts was the ending - both the ending scene of the "movie" ("I didn't do enough") and the portion that showed the remaining "Schindler's Jews" visiting his real grave.
Posted by: metsfan2427 Oct 21 2009, 06:57 PM
The Italian Job
5/5
Awesome Movie
Law Abiding Citizen
3.5/5
Good but could be way better. the story wasn't that great.

The first one that comes to mind is Inside Man with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. If you haven't seen that one, I suggest you watch it very soon.

Invictis
I'm really mixed on this movie. The performances were great, but the directing was terrible. The music choices, cheesy slo-motion, and waaaay too many shots of the CGI crowd took me out of it. My ignorance of rugby really took any tension away from the final sequence. Would have been a better movie without showing any rugby being played. Worth a rental, but don't pay full price at the movie theater.

The visual spectacle of the movie is as good as advertised. It begs to be seen on the big screen in 3D. I was completely immersed in the world of Pandora from start to finish. However, the story really prevents it from being a great movie. The characters are one-dimensional and the plot contains environmental and political messages that are a little too on-the-nose (i.e. the natives are literally connected to nature and references to "shock and awe"). There are some potentially interesting themes such as the internal struggle of someone living in 2 bodies, one crippled and one not human, but these are glossed over. It's worth the price of admission, but I did not have the same emotional reaction to this movie as I did with District 9.
Posted by: metsfan2427 Dec 29 2009, 07:51 PM
Armored
Just a meh movie. I had high hopes for this movie. But it feel short.
Only gets a 6/10 from me
A Dangerous Man. Yes i know its not yet but it was leaked to the internet.
Was a decent movie. Nothing really special. Steven seagal just beat the crap out of like everyone.
Gets a 7.5/10

Sherlock Holmes
Worth it to see it in the theater due to the effects. $10 Saturday night...no...but afternoon matinee yes.

The Blind Side
Posted by: Cades Jan 11 2010, 10:09 AM
Saw Sherlock Holmes and Daybreakers, both were pretty decent, but more or less great renters.
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Jan 12 2010, 10:46 PM
I feel the same way about both. Rentals or matinees. Sherlock Holmes was fun it parts, but the side characters were not very interesting and the villain disappears for awhile in the middle of the movie. Daybreakers has some interesting twists on vampires and their lifestyle, but as an allegory for energy policy it doesn't really make sense in the end.

I watched two movies recently:
The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) - Not as good as the original, but worth a watch despite Travolta.
Star Trek (2009) - Fantastic! I cannot believe I waited this long...but come on...Tyler Perry? 1/2

I also Law Abiding Citizen and really enjoyed it.
Fargo (1996)

Fargo is my all-time favorite movie!
Posted by: osufan2383 Mar 26 2010, 05:56 PM
I recently saw the movie Big Fan with Patton Oswalt, it was a very well written/acted movie. Not to mention a sort of coming out movie for Patton Oswalt who is usually a very funny actor. This was more of a serious role for him

How to Train Your Dragon
Very fun movie. It follows a very generic plot, but almost everything else about it is done well. The main human character designs are kind of bland, but the dragon animations are awesome. The flying sequences, especially in 3D, are probably better than in any other movie, including Avatar. Great score too.

The flying sequences, especially in 3D, are probably better than in any other movie, including Avatar. Great score too.
My son wants to buy it when it comes out on DVD..........thanks for the review

saw shutter island, thought it was pretty good. My parents found it to be weird which i can understand why.
Also saw Hurt Locket. Can Not say how good this movie was a very interesting portrayal of a soldiers life in Iraq and the aftermath. Great young actor in Renner who is also going to be featured in the new Ultimate Avengers Movie.

Saw Date Night last night. I was satisfied. The story line was sub par, but the acting of Tina Fey and Steve Carell was fantastic. I would recommend it.

Not at New York City prices.
Actually, I was kind of turned on by her dark-haired friend, the one that cursed out the airline passenger. I thought THAT was funny!

Kick ###### getting outstanding reviews so far, everyone I know who has seen had said it was awesome, can't wait to see it!
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Apr 20 2010, 04:18 PM
I saw Kick-###### this weekend. I thought it wasgreat - one of the better movies I've seen this year. If you liked the Kill Bill movies, you'll probably like this one.
Posted by: Kmart6nets Apr 21 2010, 08:54 PM
I'm actually surprised to see Kick-###### getting such good reviews. Just based on the commercials it looked SO stupid but I'm reconsidering now...

Posted by: cbware88 Apr 21 2010, 10:25 PM
Here is a pretty good review:
The visual spectacle of the movie is as good as advertised. It begs to be seen on the big screen in 3D. I was completely immersed in the world of Pandora from start to finish. However, the story really prevents it from being a great movie. The characters are one-dimensional and the plot contains environmental and political messages that are a little too on-the-nose (i.e. the natives are literally connected to nature and references to "shock and awe"). There are some potentially interesting themes such as the internal struggle of someone living in 2 bodies, one crippled and one not human, but these are glossed over. It's worth the price of admission, but I did not have the same emotional reaction to this movie as I did with District 9.
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Apr 21 2010, 10:57 PM
The marketing makes it look like some sort of teen Disney movie. Very misleading It's a hard R action-comedy.

Dude, it's worth the hour and 40 minutes to sit through. I actually upgraded my internet account to watch it again last night.
Posted by: cardinal Apr 22 2010, 05:17 PM
I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan (Clerks II is probably my favorite movie of all time), and have been eager to see this since I first found out he made it.
Posted by: Zimbow Apr 22 2010, 05:28 PM
Yea, Clerks II, Clerks, Mall rats, Dogma, Zach and Miri etc. I enjoy Kevin Smith films as you can tell. I got the link for the movie if you want it. Only bad part about it is, the subtitles are in Chinese or Japanese. Doesn't take away from the film though. Great picture quality as well.. Pm me if you want it.

Comes out April 30. I will not be seeing it. Not sure why they are rebooting this franchise.
Posted by: historian1974 Apr 27 2010, 05:21 PM
You should see it. Hit-Girl steals the show. Something just fun and fitting about her obliterating bad guys to the Banana Splits theme.
Posted by: cbware88 Apr 28 2010, 09:58 PM
A few of my friends got to go see a "sneak peek" and told me it's alot scarier and less humerous than the original franchise.........
Posted by: historian1974 Apr 29 2010, 05:44 PM
Well, you're looking at a good 25 years from the original. That's a lot of apples and oranges. I'm not saying the original movies are cinematic masterpieces, but unless the reboot brings something new to the table, why make it? I'll probably give it a go once it hits Blu-ray/DVD, but I don't think it's worth my time to schlep to the theater to spend the $8. Just my $.02.
Posted by: cbware88 Apr 29 2010, 10:31 PM
Thanks Jerry.........
Posted by: Zimbow May 4 2010, 01:16 PM
I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to see A Nightmare on Elm Street in theaters. Personally I didn't watch it in theaters and loved it. When watching a remake I try to go into it with an open mind. Trying to picture it as I haven't seen all the other ones before. Personally I enjoyed it more than the original. I guess the reason(s) I did like it more is because it's 2010.... Technology is better now than in the 80's. The original was still a great flick for the time period. Jackie Earle Haley did his part for a great Fred Kreuger. Yes, Robert Englund would've fulfilled the Freddie as we all know and love...But the way Freddie was set up in this film, I think Haley was perfect for it. I will most likely watch it again tonight. As far as getting it on dvd, I'll say that I think I will be getting it, seeing I have all the other re-mastered films.

How To Train Your Dragon in 3-D was pretty much awesome. Highly highly recommended for fans of those types of movies.

How about Requeim for a Dream speaking of drug movies?? Nothing disturbs me more than that god-forsaken movie. My girlfriend wanted to watch it recently because everyone told her she'd hate it.... So I was forced to agonize through it again a few weeks back. Great movie but... I hate it.

Swung through Wal-Mart around 3am today to get some mailers. Noticed that Shutter Island released on DVD today and they had it. Just finished it and it is by far one of my favorite DiCaprio films.

It was AWESOME!!!!!!
I only gave it one thumbs up because the plot was kinda weak (I figured out who the bad guy was once the money blew up) but I loved the TV series references and how they showed the progression of events that were never fully explained before - ie: how the team was formed, why BA hates flying, etc.
I didn't really like the Jessica Biel character but at least it worked with Face and the whole girlfriend angle. I couldn't remember......was their a girlfriend aka DOD Captain in the TV series?
Also I liked this Star Trek http://trekmovie.com/2010/06/11/obscure-star-trek-joke-beams-into-the-a-team-movie/ in the movie. Did anybody else catch it?
I will have to go back again or buy the DVD because I missed the cameo appearances and the clip after the credits.
Overall; it was a good flick and brought back ALOT of childhood memories.

Both were good movies but I'll have to admit that I liked Toy Story more........and I cried at the end. 
(I won't give it away for those that haven't seen the movie yet)

I saw "Shooter" (starring Mark Wahlberg) and "Gran Torino" (starring Clint Eastwood) this week. I enjoyed both of them.

The Twilight Eclipse movie was good but I could have waited until it came out on DVD......but my teenage daughters begged to see a half-dressed Jacob on the giant screen 
Usually the movie adaption of a novel will "spice" things up for the big screen but that is not the case here. It is to monotone at points and lost my attention several times. If it wasn't for the fight scenes scattered throughout the movie, I think I would have fallen asleep.

I don't think those Twilight movies were made for us dudes.

Yeah, the last time the other movie was opening there was an overflow of teenage girls at the theater. Man, they aren't like the teenage girls of yesteryear....

Give us a review when you see it................
Posted by: Cades Jul 6 2010, 10:44 AM
Saw Airbender and Twilight over the past few days.
Airbender was pretty awful acting wise. Effects and story was fairly entertaining, but the overall acting was pretty bad.
Twilight was better then I was expecting, but boy was there teenage girls everywhere.
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 6 2010, 10:49 AM
I've been wanting to see this............I was a fan of the graphic novel.
Posted by: Cades Jul 6 2010, 10:50 AM
I never saw any of the comic, tv show stuff.
But I read that it isn't even close to either, so you probably won't even like it for that point, alone. lol

The Airbender cartoon was really good, it's a shame M. Night couldn't pull it off. I'll see predators sometime this weekend, but what I'm really looking forward to is 10 days away:
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 6 2010, 12:55 PM
......don't forget to post a review when you see it!!!!!
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 9 2010, 12:39 AM
The Last Air Bender - hopefully....
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 10 2010, 02:11 AM
Predators: C-
I was expecting more. In a way it is predictable and there are a couple of unexpected turns that really didn't really put a twist into the story. The effects were as usual, but it feels like something was missing. It only passed because I am a fan of the variety of Predator masks.
Nice, but disappointing.

From what I've heard, Grown Ups is a huge waste of time if you haven't already seen it...
Posted by: edgerrin32 Jul 10 2010, 04:26 PM
Both are very good movies!!
Hot tube time machine was good, not supper funny but worth seeing!
The green zone was really great! It will open your eyes about the war in iraq!
The book of eli was great!

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 11 2010, 10:07 AM
Yeah, but only when they're not cloaked.
If that's what's in the IDF, how do I join?

You heard wrong, the movie was hilarious

Paris with Love - John Travolta
watched it this weekend and it was AWESOME!!!! I think the plot was a little predictable but the acting made up for it...........
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 12 2010, 08:25 AM
The Last Airbender :
The plot was OK but the acting was a little sub-par...........if you can wait till video release. I would!!!!!
Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Jul 12 2010, 09:20 AM
I also heard the Last Airbender was pretty bad. I really wanted to see Predators, but with the poor reviews here I might not!

I forgot about Green Zone. I was planning on seeing that movie. I might have to go see it now, haha

My brother-in-law saw it and he loved it.....but then again, he loved Alien vs. Predator as well
so that may say it all

........forgot to mention that they left it open at the end for two more sequels so if your a fan of the series/comics; well, your in luck.
Posted by: Cades Jul 13 2010, 09:08 AM
I have to believe M Night won't be doing the next 2, so maybe they will turn out better
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 13 2010, 09:51 AM
...........I sure hope so.

My summer viewing list: 
Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Jul 13 2010, 11:48 AM
Predators - no smiley, no frowney
Enjoyable enough, but doesn't really do anything new or interesting. Uses the formula found in countless horror movies of a group of people being hunted by something, in this case Predators. The action scenes/kills are good for the most part, but not enough to make it worth going to the theater for. Glad I only paid the early bird price. Adrian Brody takes a page out of Christian Bale's playbook and becomes an action star by speaking in a raspy, gravely voice.
Despicable Me
Most of it's humor is aimed towards kids, so I didn't laugh too much, but the 3D was really good. It uses 3D much better than any of the Pixar movies. But while I would have enjoyed the Pixar movies in 2D, I don't think I would have liked this one as much. Like Predators, it goes through all the tropes of a familiar plot, while not adding too much that is new.
Posted by: Cades Jul 13 2010, 11:49 AM
Looking forward to The Expendables as well
Posted by: edgerrin32 Jul 13 2010, 12:22 PM
Shutter Island was
I seen it at the movies, but had to rent it! Now I need to own it lol.

Thanks for the reviews........I'm debating on whether to see it in 2D or 3D.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 13 2010, 01:05 PM
I got a pair of (disposable) 3-D glasses when I saw Air Bender. I was wondering if I could just pay the normal price for the next 3-D movie I see because I have my own pair now.
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 13 2010, 01:08 PM
They would just charge you double for the butter on your popcorn.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 13 2010, 01:12 PM
They would just charge you double for the butter on your popcorn.Oh! Speaking of which.... They have "Deluxe Popcorn Toppings". Three small salt-shaker thingies for $7.
And popcorn is so passe. Now there are chicken fingers, hot dogs, sliders, tacos, etc.... They are really milking it.
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 13 2010, 01:14 PM
...........
Chicken fingers
Posted by: cardinal Jul 13 2010, 06:11 PM
I saw Predators today and I enjoyed it. It wasn't amazing but I wasn't really expecting it to be. I saw it as a matinee for $7, and for that it was definitely worth it.

That pretty much somes up how I feel. It was worth going to see, had a couple of nice twists to it, plus I did love how the movie opened...

Went to see Inception today.
Pretty good movie. I will warn you it can be confusing. But i liked it. Worth the 5 bucks
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 19 2010, 09:07 AM
Went to see Despicable Me in 3D and LOVED IT!!
I've really got hooked on the whole 3D experience.

Btw, for all of you Kevin Smith junkies and fans....I did purchase Cop-Out last night and have watched it 5 times ever since. It never gets old!

Actually what's funny is I've never seen him in anything other than Arrested Development... not even Superbad... so maybe I don't like him at all, who knows?
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 22 2010, 11:29 AM
Man, You have got to see SuperBad......it is hilarious.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 23 2010, 10:32 PM
SALT was pretty good. For those of you who think it's another "The Fugitive", it's not! It blows the other movies I have seen out of the water so far this year.
I have not seen Inception or Despicable Me yet.
Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Jul 23 2010, 10:36 PM
Didn't hear good things about Salt. Heard Inception was unbelievable though! I'm going to have to see that tomorrow.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 23 2010, 10:38 PM
I will see Inception on Sunday. SALT was better than most they put out there.
Posted by: über Jul 23 2010, 10:45 PM
Inception was good. Don't think it was "as good" as it is hyped up to be, but still definitely worth watching.
Posted by: cardinal Jul 24 2010, 01:12 PM
Even if it was....what's wrong with that? The Fugitive is one of my favorite movies.
Posted by: cbware88 Jul 26 2010, 08:10 AM
I want to see this movie but don't know if I'll wait until DVD release or see it in the theater. The mixed reviews have kinda made me "gun-shy".
Posted by: cardinal Jul 30 2010, 09:31 PM
I saw SALT today and I liked it a lot actually. After about 10-15 minutes, it was pretty much non-stop action until the very end.
Posted by: cbware88 Aug 2 2010, 09:01 AM
AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for the review.......
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Aug 2 2010, 11:33 AM
SALT and Inception are a lot better than what has been put out there so far.
DO NOT see Dinner for Schmucks! I know, you see Steve Carrell and you think "oh, 40 Year-old Virgin was funny, why not this?" I'm sorry, but NOTHING that Steve Carrell has done since then has topped '40'.

Gran Torino

I agree with this.
The movie was way more confusing than it needed to be. It was almost like they were trying too hard to make it interesting.
Overall I liked it though.

If you like action movies, The Expendables is a must see, so many jaw dropping moments of action and fight scenes, it was pretty awesome.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Aug 15 2010, 07:10 AM
The Other Guys - HILARIOUS!!!!
Posted by: cbware88 Aug 16 2010, 06:53 AM
Thanks for the reviews............I want to see both of these BADLY!!!!!
Posted by: Tarasadie17 Aug 17 2010, 11:03 PM
Went to see the The Expendables today. If you are into mindless entertainment, lots of explosions and plenty of gratuitous violence, then this is the movie for you.
I loved it!

AWESOME!!!!!! I can't wait to see it...........

I watched Burn After Reading again last night... for any Coen Bros fans out there who haven't seen it... please do. It's fantastic!

Just bought it off eBay for $2.89 (free shipping). Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice! Let me know how you like it!

Has anybody been to the movie theater lately???

No
Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Sep 2 2010, 12:10 PM
I went and saw "The Other Guys" with a few friends the other day. I loved it! Ferrell and Wahlberg both did an excellent job, probably one of my top 3 for the year.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Sep 2 2010, 12:20 PM
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Hey, a bunch of us were drunk! It's probably the only way to enjoy this movie.

Awesome!!!! My son and I are dying to see this movie.

Finally got around to watching Burn After Reading last weekend and I really liked it, very funny dark humor.
