MOVIES THREAD

Saw "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" over the weekend. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I would. My Michael Cera crush still goes on (hi, Sportschick!) and there were parts I liked a lot, but I had higher hopes.

 

rented the happening. don't know why. watched the extras. don't know why. awful.

 

I'm watching the Ramones documentary "End of the Century" on some random movie channel I have. I saw it in the theater, too. I highly recommend it. It's so interesting. Makes me sad, though. They never had the commercial success they deserved. RIP Joey.

 

I'm going to see that this week. I don't have super high hopes, given that it's a teen flick. I really just need a dose of Mr. Cera

 

Just finished the King of Kong.
That was outstanding. Unbelievable these people really exist.

 

to be fair ... they'd probably say the same about some here.

 

Watched 51 Birch Street last night. A documentary from 2006 about a man discovering some truths about his family, and digging deeper to find a whole different side he never knew anything about.

Very intriguing.

 

Just watched the HBO movie Recount and I have to say, I am now 100% convinced GWB stole the 2000 election.

 

Just watched Lars and the Real Girl. Loved it, until the last 20 minutes. I don't know why that was the part that pushed me over the edge, but it did.

Still like it a lot, will probably buy it. But...the end ruined what could have been a great movie for me.

 

I saw The Duchess -- and yiked it

 

I've seen a few movies lately...

Burn After Reading - Incredibly disappointing
Eagle Eye - Surprisingly not bad.
Tropic Thunder - Funniest movie of the year
Quantum of Solace - Too Boring for a Bond
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Very mediocre
Donkey Punch - Good sex scenes, bad film

 

Rent "In Bruges." You'll thank me later.
