I can't believe it took me so long to finally see this. Good stuff.

This and the original black & white "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" are my favorite old-time sci-fi movies.

I like that movie, but I did think they threw in too many twists at the end and once the first twist came into play, the rest were easy to guess.

I was shocked by post #3 when GM mentioned Spanglish and his desire for Tea Leoni. How any man can see this movie and even remember her is beyond me... Paz Vega is SMOKIN. You should all rent "Sex and Lucia" to see all of her - you can thank me later.

In defense of Tea, did you see the abs on her?

Saw "The Aviator" this weekend. Great story, and I was really impressed with how well Dicaprio played Howard Hughes. It's a really fascinating story, and I'm glad it wasn't all about how he went nuts. Plus, Kate Beckinsale 
:drool: Jamie Foxx deserved the Best Actor for how he basically became Ray Charles, but Leo was a close second IMHO.

One review I read referred to Tea's work in Spanglish as "career-ending performance."

Make sure you have your finger planted firmly on the Fast Forward button if you do. That movie was the definition of confusing and it bored the living hell outta me -- especially the last 30 minutes or so which seemed to drag on forever. I may not have helped that I was a bit loaded when I saw it but that movie was awful.Vega, though, is definitely hot.

Stick with Firefly. I didn't see any of it when it was airing, but when the last DVD was over, both the wife and I were bummed. The movie looks pretty cool too!Last four movies:
1. House of Flying Daggers: I liked it a lot. Visually pretty stunning. Great action scenes. Solid plot with a few twists. The final fight scene alone is worth renting the film.
2. The Incredibles: Surprised at how good it was.
3. Garden State: It's gotten a lot of hype and was pretty good, but didn't love it.
4. Shaun of the Dead: First half was better than the second but overall decent.

Just saw:Meet the ####ers For the first few minutes I thought it was going to be bad...but it actually made me laugh alot. Dustin Hoffman is great in this movie.. Babs ( who I despise) didn't make me want to turn it off....The Life Aquatic . There is something about this movie that made me like it alot..... Like Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Tannenbaums its not for everyone. I get the impression that people think these movies are supposed to be broad comedy. Life Aquatic and Lost in Translation have really reminded me how much of a funny ####er Bill Murray is.... I'd love to see how much ad-libbing he did in this movie.National Treasure eh.... This movie had a lot going for it. The FreeMasons and Knights Templar have always interested me and the basic plot for this story is gold. If it was done a little more edgy and less Disney I would have like it better. I can't decide whether or not Nick Cage is a good actor.....

Agreed, not a new release, but very good movie.Some movies i have seen recently, 1 - 10 scale:sadly,Not the worst movie ever, but there's really nothing special about it. Rent SESSION 9 instead for a good psychological horror.
Million Dollar Baby - 8
Aviator - 6
Hotel Ruwanda - 5
Meet the ####ers - 8

Million Dollar Baby - Not terrible, but I didn't find it particularly engaging or moving. I knew it wasn't going to end happily, but the last 45 minutes seemed like Oscar-whoring melodrama to me. I definitely thought The Aviator was more Oscar-worthy.

I like Constantine alot better then Session 9.....Session 9 had everything going for it but I thought fizzled in the end.sadly,
Constantine suffered from Keanu Reeves Syndrome and it would have benefitted alot from having a more charasmatic lead but I thought the whole story and setup was great

Alexander is coming out, or just came out. Anyone seen it yet (or in the theaters)? I am a sucker for epic pics like this and Alexander the Great is my all time favorite historical character. I didn't hear much good stuff about the movie, so I'm not sure it is purchase worthy.

I loved the background music thrown in when the three of them were cuddling for warmth. I was laughing so hard it hurt.

Dear Frankie 
- Wife's choice. Wasn't too bad. Chick has a little Scottish Penelope Cruz thing going, and the bbs are quality, though kept under wraps. Story was kinda cheesy, but not terribly so. As chick flicks go, it's better than getting stuck watching Beaches or something.

I thought this movie was better when it was Donnie Darko or The ButterFly Effect. I can't take Kris Kristoferson seriously as a doctor. Adrian Brody was alright in this but I thought it didn't deliver. On the plus side you get to see Kira Knightly's boobies.Hotel Rwanda...... Although billed by some as the African Schindlers List, I thought this movie wasn't as good as Schindler's List in portraying ones struggle to survive. Hotel Rwanda would have been much more powerful if it was a hard R ( it was pg 13) and showed more of the problems going on outside the hotel. That being said, I thought that the movie did a very good job of telling its primary story: that of Paul Rusesabagina and his attempt to save over 1200 Tutsi refugees. Don Cheadle was great....

Guess Who with Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac (I didn't rent it...in-laws passed it to us before it had to go back).... wasn't all that great, but it was decent. Had a few laugh out loud scenes. One thumb up

The Sisterhood. About a sorority of vampires...Enough said. It had potential based on the story, but the filming was soooooo bad. It was like a pron story line without the pron. Watched 20 minutes of it and I am ashamed to admit that. Plus, this director has a couple of other ones out there. Something about Werewolves of Wall Street or something. Very bad. You have been warned...
