So far the game is leaps and bounds superior than the film.

Watched The Wrestler on DVD. My fiancee loved it, but I was a bit disappointed. It was ok, but after all the hype I thought it would have been, I'unno, something more or something. Instead it was short and depressing, and the ending made both of us go "WTF?" out loud. So eh. Thumbs middle, leaning up.

You just wanted a 2 hour WWE bash.

The Tomb ('86)
I Married a Monster from Outer Space
X-Men Origins: Wolverine

They were pretty much decent.

Is it because he keeps yelling 'TABLES AND LADDERS AND CHAIRS OH MY' during every scene?

The Godfather this morning. Am I the only one who feels like that movie's only an hour, when it's actually damn near 3?

Fast and furious in the movie theaters. Eh, it was okay. Not all that great though, in my opinion. It was less about racing and more about them investigating the street races.

OFF TOPIC: Haha, this is my 516th post and my birthdays on May 16th.

But Mickey Roarke was awesome, right?

We got it late at the store (freakin' back order), so I've been letting it rent rather than taking it and watchin it myself...

Then maybe you shouldn't watch Darren Aronofsky movies. Thats all he does.

Just be happy that there wasn't an "Ass-to-Ass" scene in the Wrestler.

Probably. It's one of the best of all time for sure, but it definitely feels like a long movie.

It could be worse. It could be like Wolverine, which felt a lot longer than it was. A lot of going back and filling in details that didn't need to be filled, as well as introducing characters that might be cool, only to toss them aside within minutes.

I think he was trying to say it felt short, rather than long.

Wolverine

As a movie alone is was alright, not what I hoped for though.

*I've never been into X Men comics so I don't know how bad they messed up these beloved characters.

Watched subUrbia recently, which was a powerful as well as funny movie. The acting kept me engaged during the movie as well.

Watched Summer Rental yesterday, which was entertaining. I haven't watched a John Candy movie in a long time and I'm glad I did yesterday.

And today, I watched The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T., which had the bizarre storytelling from Dr. Seuss I'm familiar with and I think that made the movie a pleasure to watch. In fact, it's a shame there aren't movies like it nowadays -- having an aspects of being trippy as well as something the whole family can enjoy.
