I'm watching Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I'm a little sad it doesn't star Kate Beckinsale, but I'm a excited to to complete the trilogy. Also, I heard the big black guy in the movie wrote the movie/book.

I'm going to to watch Snow Falling On Cedars after I've watched this episode of The Wire. I have to write a 2000 word essay on it and this seems easier than reading the god-damned book.
I watched The Usual Suspects today and was surprised by how disinterested I was in it. On Thursday I'll be getting The Fifth Element. It is one of those movies everyone loves but I've never seen, so I'm pretty excited.
I thought The Usual Suspects was a very overrated film with one of the crappiest twists this side of M Night Shayalaman
I just watched Quantum of Solace on blu-ray from Netflix. It was ok, as much as you could expect from a recent Bond flick - over-the-top action scenes + "omg we can't trust james anymore, whatever will england do"
edit: vvvvv agreed!
I liked Quantum of Solace, but it was nowhere near as good as Casino Royale
I watched Hitman yesterday. It was kinda shitty. It would be okay if there was lots of action and no story, but it had mundane amounts of both.
40 minutes into Twilight and I'm feeling nauseated and have a headache.

I didn't finish watching Twilight, but last night I watched The Day The Earth Stood Still and I was very much annoyed by that kid who misses his dad and the Secretary of Defense (I recognized her from Joe Dirt). Right now, I am watching Road House, and as someone never seeing a Patrick Swayze movie before, he is totally awesome.

I have not watched a movie in a while because I'm getting through The Wire and I have just under 24 hours worth of episodes left I think.
I'm free tomorrow though so, if I don't decide to sleep throughout the day, I might watch Funny Games or Good Night and Good Luck or I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK or one of the many other films recorded to my TV HDD box that I have yet to watch.
I'm a Cyborg, But That's Ok is an awesome name for a movie. I'm gonna look it up.
It's one of those movies that I'm 100% sure I'll love. One of my lovely and eccentrically strange friends recommended it to me and she can usually be trusted in things like that (even if she's an emo).
I just watched Yes Man. I hate Jim Carrey. This movie was so boring and predicable. Really there was only one or two funny parts.
I watched the documentary FLOW recently, which is actually pretty old, but damn was it ever good. I really need to watch more documentaries
If you don't find Yes Man charming and funny then you have no soul.
Or you've read the book.
There's a book? Shit, I hate it when there is a book and people are like, "That movie wasn't as good as the book."
Of course it wasn't as good as the book, the book is as good as your imagination and perfectly envisioned by yourself, there is no way a movie could be better.
No, it's not like the usual 'the movie totally didn't compare to the book' argument. The book is just a completely different experience altogether. I mean, for starters, it's a true story and the humour is very different.
Jim Carey falling over a lot in a predictable rom-com just does not compare.
If we were meant to read books, we would have attention spans.
That's not my point, my point is Hollywood took a certain type of book and turned it into the wrong kind of film.
Everybody Loves Raymond is a travesty to nature. It is almost as bad as Two and a Half Men
I agree that Everybody Loves Raymond but for some reason, I actually quite like King Of Queens.
ok that post wasn't about sitcoms, it was about poor taste in humor. Yes Man had a painfully dull and predicable plot. Basically if you watched the trailer for the movie you saw the movie.
I like King of Queens as well.
Its nice sometimes to just chill and laugh at some simple humor.
Just got done watching Closer with Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman. Despite it being a chick flick, its one of my favorite movies of all time.
I just finished watching Journey to the Center of the Earth.
I really enjoyed it. Very interesting story.
Not to much emotional stuff, and not to much (or to little) comedy. Much like every other action/comedy starring Brendan Fraser. I know I'm a little late, but I have just now gotten around to seeing this movie. (Just happen to come along it while browsing www.movielab.tv)
Just watched Scoop. It's one of the only 'modern' Woody Allen films I've seen and, while it's nowhere near as hilarious as Manhattan or Sleeper, it's still very witty and thoroughly enjoyable. He's certainly not lost any talent.
I tried watching Martin Lawrence: Runteldat (a movie of his 2002 stand-up show) but, after half an hour I just had to turn it off. It was racist, vile, unfunny and pathetic. I don't know why I expected better but, well, you live and learn.
I watched the new X-Men movie after having decided I would not see it because I didn't enjoy the work edit. We got blazed and almost died beforehand going the wrong way on an exit ramp. THe movie was fucking awesome.
Watched Shoot Em Up today with a couple of bowls, pretty good.
I just watched the Spirit last night. It was, in my eyes, Sin City Lite, or Diet Sin City, if you prefer. It had the same sort of stylistic execution, except I wasn't actually impressed this time - it seemed like they went out of their way to incorporate surrealism rather than use the mix of colour/black and white to enhance aspects of the image or provide a sense of symbolism. It was visual wankery for the sake of visual wankery. The plot was asinine, boring and well-trodden already, the dialogue was clunky and strange to the point where even Samuel L Jackson couldn't save the sheer retardness of his liens and character motivations and the values being pushed (like the nurse who will always be in love with the Spirit, even though he is constantly macking on every other girl in the movie all the time) are... peculiar, to say the least. Overall, as much as I enjoy the visual smorgasbords that this guy's put out in the past (Sin City, 300), this one fell a little flat. It was pretty, but it could easily have been better, and that visual appeal in no way could combat the sheer stupidity of the story itself, and the story's execution.
I thought the cop chick was hot as fuck
Also, I would watch Samuel L. Jackson paint a fence, so of course I liked The Spirit
