    Why would you read it?

    Anyways, I moseyed on over to the daily box office chart and saw that Twilight made $35,700,000 on Friday alone. $35.7 million in one day.

    Sequels will be made.


    Also, this fun fact from Forks for ya'; Forks, WA, is the town the movie is set in: earlier this year, due to budget cuts, several police officers were laid off from the force. That is all I know about Forks, from some people who grew up there.

    Finally, I saw Resident Evil: Extinction for free, and I regret that waste of my life.

    i have watched Tropic Thunder 4 times since it came out and cant get over three characters

    1. The Pecker
    2. Les Grossman
    3. The explosives guy.

    All of them have awesome quotes and I could watch it over and over
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Just took my kidlet to see Bolt. It's formulaic, but still loads of fun for a kid's flick. You cannot help but love Rhino, the hamster in the ball, he was made mostly to keep the parents entertained and it worked very well. Best use of the 'good day to die' line ever.

    Evil Dead is a pitch perfect B-movie dream; I loved it. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell knew exactly what kind of movie they were making, and if you even slightly take it seriously or expect something other than a B-movie then the failing is in you and not the film! You have to see EDII and Army of Darkness too for pure quotable, campy fun. "This is my BOOMSTICK!"

    Quantum of Solace- Was okay... Good action scenes and the intro music... like many before me have said... was terrible

    Muppets in Space- Been a while since I've seen some Muppet action. And I must say, I enjoyed it haha, not to mention the tons of cameos made throughout the entire movie.

    I Am Legend- A really good movie (second time I've seen it), and I must say... I like the alt. ending more, the one they put in sucked.

    Fight Club- I caught bits of it on television (censored of course) and I must say I can't wait to see the full version. Tho Brad Pitt's acting reminded me of his acting in 12 Monkey's.

    but the one thing i didnt get about the movie- were they using caps (not real bullets) in thier m16s the entire time? or was there real bullets in ther guns? im assuming not, since they never actually killed anyone with them.

    Yup... they were using caps which was a lil confusing... then again they were all insecure so it's no surprise

    How did your GF find it?




    Anyways, watched Reservoir Dogs yesterday. Was a little too gratituously profane for my liking-- seriously, does anyone actually speak like that? Sometimes they sound like eight year-olds who just learned the f-word. But otherwise, it was a pretty good movie. The ending scene was just heartwrenching.

    We all must have been used to Chinese products by now, whatever their quality. Man, they make everything, I mean every freaking thing! Finally they made their own Hamlet too.

    The Banquet is a very well made Chinese rip-off of Hamlet with really good photography, cinematography, choreography (and probably some other -ographies ), decent acting, consistent story and pretty ladies.

    Quantum of Solace, despite the bad intro song and rushed feeling it was a good movie. The action scenes at the start were very well done.

    Saw On Any Sunday. It's a documentary on motorcycle racing from 1971. Take all the good parts of Warren Miller's films about skiing, make it about motorcycling, and you have On Any Sunday, a look at motorcycling of all types.

    A great film - I was entranced by it. But then, I do love motorcycling. Still, I think everyone would enjoy this movie - its got wonder and spectacle and focuses on that, not mechanics.

    Like Warren Miller's latest ski film [Children of Winter, which is a overall good movie), it has a movie actor. Unlike Miller's film, On Any Sunday has an A list star who is actually talented at the focus of the movie (motorcycling), unlike Children of Winter, where the actor's appearance has nothing to do with skiing and we never even see him attempt to ski.
