I think that Big Momma's House 2 brings alot of important issues to the table.

Bought a box with oldies from Roman Polanski, mostly Polish. Most of his early work is very wtf, but one movie (repulsion) is way ahead of it's time, a 'reqieum for a dream' from the sixties is the best way to describe it. Very unnerving movie, schizophrenia must very much suck. It is amazing how Polanski has made a normal appartment an extremily hostile place, everything just screams creepy. The movie being shot in black and white doesn't help to lighten the mood.

Highly recommended.

Saw Jarhead yesterday, an occasionally funny and possibly quite truthful account of the life of a marine guarding oilfields. It's a boring life. I think it's both the strength and the weakness of this movie that the tedium is shared with the viewer.

Recommended, but not highly (unless you want to join the military).

Yep, great flick. Wasn't it called The Apartment?

Just watched March of the Penguins. Bought it for the kids but I thought it was amazing. Well worth 90 minutes of your life. The story is great, the photography is great, and the penguins are incredible! What they go through is beyond belief.

It is indeed a great movie.

Been a while since I last saw it though...

Anyone saw the remake of 'The hills have eyes'? I loved the original and I heard this one is even better, yay to seventies style gorefests

I just watched Ocean's 12 on TV, and was like "What? That's it?" at the end. It was disappointing. If you watch it, I suggest stopping after the laser light dance scene (you'll know it when you see it) and imagining the end.

The last movie I saw was Waiting. It was funny the first time around...the kind of funny that gets better if there's someone with a two-beer buzz in the room. I hear that it's funnier if you work in a restaurant, as well.

Probably. I watched a trailer for it when the employees were almost ready to clean up and leave and the store was almost closed when a couple walked in for dinner. This made the employees very angry, and let me tell you that that is the truth. Delays everyone by half an hour or more.

I watched the movie "Spartan" on TV yesterday - I'd seen it before and did not think I would watch it out a second time, but it sucked me in again. It's written by David Mamet and he has a very compelling but highly stylised way of writing dialogue. It's kind of like rap music mixed with Shakespeare. I love it. The nuances of the plot were hard to discern, but it was very tense and with a bleak atmosphere. A very good thriller.

Hanging out with some friends of mine and we watched "The Island"

I think it was great, but sort of sad. It had a happy ending, but some seemed a bit unreal. It does take place in the future though.

4.5/5

(lets use scale of 1-5 in rating movies in this thread from now on?)
