^It's a shame you didn't like Eternal Sunshine. I think it's an absolutely brilliant film and is one of my all-time favorites.

It's a bit of a misnomer to call it a comedy though, it's much more of a romance in reverse.

Haven't seen him deliever such a strange, interesting role since David Lynch's Wild At Heart. My uncle always tells me to check out Adaptation.. I've heard good things, and I'll prob get around to it.. but the thought of watching Nicholas Cage in a movie thats not attatched to a filmmaker I already enjoy/follow..

Have you seen the original 1992 Harvey Keitel "Bad Lieutenant"? I'm very curious to see the the new one, but I'm wondering if it can approach how raw & powerful the Keitel-starred version is.

^^True.

Law Abiding Citizen
Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, I guess those two names should have been
enough to warn me about this movie. The best I can say about this movie
is that I've seen worse.

I actually liked this movie even though i believed it could have been so much better. I could do without Jamie Foxx but i love Jerry.

Eastwood found a way to parlay Dirty Harry into old age and he did it with grace and style, as always. Dude is 79 years old now. I'll be just as sad when he passes as I was when Paul Newman passed.

I absolutely love this movie to death and Clint Eastwood is amazing. I still can't believe he is about to be 80. I always feel like I'm being lied to when celebrities reveal their age =\

I watched "Planet of the Apes" and "Beneath the Planet of the Apes," and tomorrow I'm going to watch "Escape from the Planet of the Apes."

Yeah, I know....

at least it's not the Tim Burton one. And I love Tim Burton.

Hairspray- 1988
Just, awesome!

A really good laugh, and the cast make it even better; Debbie Harry, Ricki Lake, Sonny Bono and a guest appearance from Pia Zadora. It's lighthearted and funny. I watched it with my mum and younger sister and we all loved it

I'm on a Jet Li kick, no pun intended.

I can't remember the names of all these chop suey movies, but I've been watching them all week, really enjoying myself.

Sin Nombre - fantastic and gut wrenching.

Unconcious (2004) - how did I miss this back then? Charming, witty and clever.

Just watched THE HANGOVER... and it wasn't nearly as funny as I thought it was supposed to/going to be.

I thought the funniest part was when the bearded guy was thanking Bin Laden for ruining his airplane masturbation technique

I watched sling blade for the first time tonight. It was a masterpiece.

I saw what a sling blade looked like for the first time in my life yesterday. I immediately thought of Billy Bob Thorton.

White Oleander There's a book i believe..here's another one that I will have to buy

My Life My friends know that I am kind of in love/like with Nicole Kidman so I will watch any movie she is in lol. This movie is really sweet..and sad but i would love my parent to make a movie for me if they wouldn't get the chance to see me grow up just so they could somehow be there

The Glass House I was distracted every time i saw something that was a throwback to my childhood. There was the playstation, that computer thing (that my sims had lol), dial up, pagers lol, etc. Good movie tho

I saw The Prestige for the first time last night. What a great movie, I can't believe I missed it the first time, unbelievable ending. I also saw Hangover for the first time last week - hillarious - makes me want to go to Vegas

I love "The Presitge". Can't tell you how many times I've watched it. It will be
mine on Blu ray.

Surrogates
I kind of expected not to like this one, but it surprised me.
Turned out pretty good. Our society isn't that far off from
what the movie's about. We're almost there. Less computers,
toss the cell phone and Ipods and get back into real life.

In A Day
This romantic indie drama was very good.
