    Horrible Bosses was very, very funny...

    Time Traveler's Wife: tearjerker to say the least. Eric Bana and Rachel MacAdams had great chemistry in this movie (at least I thought).

    "Barney's Version." Paul Giamatti is so good in everything he does. It's a film with a lot of heart, and even more heartbreak.

    Watched The Source Code last night and found it a tad predictable but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.

    Just watched the first episode of The Kennedys. I'd forgotten what a tyrant Joe Sr. was.

    Was piddling around on the on-demand trailers and found something called General Orders No. 9 about how the geographical lines got drawn for Georgia following the Civil War. Looked intriguing.
     
  5. True Grit...
    Better than the original in almost every way .. except for Bridges' character.
    I prefer John Wayne's version.
    Maybe Bridges character was more true to a man such as Cogburn (rough ridden, alcoholic), but half the time I couldn't understand what he was saying.
    Also, there are elements of humor in the original that I don't think come through in the remake; Like Mattie Ross' scene with the horse trader and Cogburn's back and forth with Ross and the Texas Ranger.
    I think Wayne did a better job with the comedic aspect of Cogburn and True Grit than Bridges.

    One of the people I saw it with said it was raunchier than Hangover. I told him he was on crack.

    It's definitely funnier than the second Hangover and better than Bridesmaids.

    It's probably just Peach State propaganda.

    Visited my sister in San Diego and joined her for a viewing of Pirates 4. Of course, she's living on the naval base, so we got to see it for free. Thoroughly enjoyed it, as I did the other Pirates movies. The one thing about this series is that it does such a great job of a fun, escapist time at the movie theater, kinda like going on a wild two-hour ride (which is appropriate, considered its source). I still love the line "How come everytime we meet, you're pointing something at me?" but there are plenty of other good ones.

    Also, one for the "Hey that's ..." thread we had: For about 40 minutes, I sat there racking my brain about the actor who played Scrum, because I knew I'd seen him before, I just didn't remember where. Then it hit me -- he was the guy who played Tommy in "Snatch."

    Glad to hear the good buzz on here about "Horrible Bosses." I am planning to go see that one.

    Yeah, I would say that one particular scene in Bridesmaids was the funniest thing I've seen all summer, but Horrible Bosses was a funnier all-over movie. I learned a lot about "wet work."

    OK, got this part wrong. It's a lamentation on the loss of the natural world to the expansion of urban areas. Still looked interesting, though the reviews say it's more of a narrated slide show than a move.

    Watched Summer Eleven and Never Say Never JBeiber movies with my duaghter. Anyone that wants to dog-out JB as a non-mucisian needs to see the movie.
    Yes, he raps and dances and writes only about half his material, but the 15 mins of fame is stretching a bit farther than some might have expected.

    Though I've thus far bought none of his CDs, Beiber is a really talented musician.
