I liked Elf, but that might have been before Old School... he was really funny in Wedding Crashers but he didn't star in it, so basically I agree.

The only 2 Will Ferrel movies I enjoy are Old School and Talladega Nights. I don't really care for 40 Year Old Virgin either, but I love Knocked Up.

You aren't alone there, I didn't care for knocked up much at all. 40 Year old virgin was okay, I saw it once in a big group of my college buds so that made it fun and I turned it on again when it was on a movie channel and it wasn't as much fun the second time.

Watched a Hammer horror film last night called The Gorgon, which was pretty good. As always, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing played well of off each other.

Then I watched Hands of the Ripper, which kept me intrigued. I think it's an underrated gem compared to most horror movies fro the '70s.

Just saw The Dark Knight today, and Loved every bit of it! The 'pencil trick' kinda freaked me out, but this was an INTENSE movie from start to finish.

Working my way through a 100 Horror Movie box set from Mill Creek Entertainment. Great M(cubed) fodder.

Harsh Times was on showtime the other day. It's a really good independant film with Christian Bale as a PTSD suffering war vet who thinks he's a cholo.

Well, I don't think I know anyone who thinks 40 year old virgin is as funny as I think it is. It's like these guys got into my head, found the type of things I find funny and put them in a movie. And for me, the movie gets funnier the more I see it. As for knocked up, I do know a few people who didn't like it, but I think its great, especially since I've been a fan of Seth Rogen since he was on Freaks and Geeks and was my favorite supporting character on the show.


And I think everyone realizes Will Ferrell is slipping nowadays. I liked him in Old School, Anchorman, and Blades of Glory. Hopefully he can make another good movie because I do think he is really funny

I agree completely with this statement. Just saw it Friday night! Makes me miss Ledger more; I would've loved to see what he'd do in a sequel. Just brilliant.

Watched A.I.: Artificial Intelligence or whatever it's called with my dad last night and it was good we watched it because he haven't seen in a couple years. It's a shame it wasn't well-received when it came out, though.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Holy ****, I can't believe I just wasted 2 hours of my life watching that ****.

Watched The Saint with my dad recently, which was a pretty good movie. I thought the chemistry between Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue worked out quite well.

And The Hudsucker Proxy, which I finally got to watch after falling asleep while watching a few years ago and waiting to try to watch the movie again. Anyhow, I thought it was wonderful and the diverse cast was likeable.

Saw The Mummy 3. There are no words for how boring it was. It wasn't bad enough to be funny or good enough to be worth paying attention to. I'd propose skipping it and just burn your money instead if you're thinking about seeing it.

I can say the same thing about Clone Wars.

Yeah I saw a early screening of Clone Wars, It's as bad as the prequels.

I just got back from Tropic Thunder and it was hilarious. I have a hard time trying to decide if this or Pineapple Express was funnier.

The best cameo?

Spoiler:
Tom Cruise

Saw Tropic Thunder tuesday at midnight and it was absolutely hilarious. The satire in this was top notch. Downey Jr. and Cruise stole the show.

I loved it when...

Spoiler:

At the awards at the end, Jon Voight starts to stand up assuming he's going to win, and Tugg gets the award. Probably the hardest I laughed during the entire movie.
