as a guy movie, it was good. full of violence and boobs, and not much else.

anybody got any good "new couple" movies? asking out a girl tomorrow, not sure what movies are out though.

why the hell doesnt this have its own thread PI.

by the to answer your question take her to Dear John

Cent's Reasons to go to Dear John with a woman
1. It has channing tautm
2. It is by nicholas Sparks
3. It is about love, i think
4. It has channing tatum (who is an atrocious actor)

And as a bonus for you and me....... its all about like some marine deployed so for military areas like ours the girl you ask is probably military or used to be so another bonus.

oh and hurt locker was trash so unrealistic. Good action flick occasionally but seriously random eod humvee in middle of desert meets british special ops and then saved all their butts with their natural sniping abilites and some capri sun.

Edit: Avatar. Waste of my life. It was beautiful visually but let me just explain the story.

Military Evil
Business Evil

Science Good
Nature Good

At the end i expected some sort of collage showing all the atrocities white captialsits have had and a dedication to native guerillas.

The evil marines and their evil colonel. the oh so good scientist BS the scientist is the one who would want to cut em up and dissect them.

And there was not a single joke in the entire movie which i heartily disapprove of.

Whicked Lake, bizarre! 4 beautifull girls get a surprise visit frrom some inbred redneck family, who abuse them. Then one escapes, there is a chase, and then she starts laughing 'it's getting late'. Well they came to the wrong house.

'the big question, why shouldn't we kill you

'
'you are wrong, the big question is how you are going to taste'

heh (these aren't spoilers don't worry)

District 9, what a complete letdown. Everybody was raving about what a smart movie it is but it doesn't even know what it wants to be. Have to give it to them, plot can go in several directions. And all of them are predictable in their own predictable way.

Depends on the girl. Ask her what she wants to see if you can't guess her taste in movies. Some girls aren't into "date movies" and might really want to go see a movie where things get blown up or shot.

Stuff that's out around me: Shutter Island, Dear John, Cop Out (looks dreadful, Tooth Fairy (kid movie?), Up in the Air (was awesome! Maybe not good date material?), From Paris with Love (Travolta), Valentine's Day, and I think the Princess and the Frog is still in a few places. Hrm. Not very many good things to choose from.

Dumbt story (seriously, even Star Wars isn't as black and white as far as morality goes), but I knew that in advance so I still managed to enjoy it. Some good action scenes, and the 3D is of course pretty.
6.5/10

The Book of Eli
Not the best post-apocalypse movie I've ever seen, not the worst either. I'm not a relious type, and allthought that didn't ruin it for me, I probably would have liked it better if I was...
7/10

The Crazies - 9/10

This could be l4d 3. Seriously. Same storyline, just a different location and cast of characters.

Surprisingly decent acting though... I actually loved it, except for a final scene at the very end. It was stupid in The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and it was stupid in this one as well. Didn't ruin the experience, though.
