Persepolis-an animated film based on an AMAZING series of graphic novels that go by the same name.

Watched the MST3K and Cinema Insomnia version of Invasion of the Neptune Men recently and I think both versions were entertaining in their own ways. I'm sure the regular version isn't something I'd like to watch on its own, though.

Charlie Bartlett... much more awesome than I expected. One of the best I've seen this year.

Plus you get to hear Robert Downey Jr. say "Never attack a drunk man with a gun!"

Watched THX 1138 yesterday and I thought it was a great for being Lucas' first feature film. It kept me engaged, for the most part, and it was interesting to see what Lucas' roots in science fiction were.

I watched Lost Boys 2, because I mean, I had to. And it was hilarious.

The Bank Job

Good heist movie with Jason Statham. It was based on a true story which was cool, and the characters were llikeable so there were good "chill out" parts of the movie which I always love in movies.

Then I saw 28 Weeks Later. I think this was probably the scariest movie I've seen, I loved it.

Pineapple Express

I had huge expectations going into this, bigger than The Dark Knight, and this exceeded them. Hands down one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and the best of the "Apatow-Troupe" films. Great action, way more violent than I was expecting, some great one-liners, more pot smoking than I've ever seen in a movie before. James Franco's character was the best, and he played the role perfectly. You really feel bad for him at parts. I was a little nervous about David Gordon Green directing this, but he really nailed it. Now I wanna see him go back to doing some Indie's.

My favorite line?
Spoiler:

What's in the pit? A Rancor?!


I recommend everybody go see this, especially if you're the stoner type.

Watched John Carpenter's Halloween yesterday, which is a classic. It's amazing how it still holds up today.

Watched "Kiss of the Dragon" the other night, starring Jet Li & Bridget Fonda. That man sure can kick butt.

Added bonus: Found out that one of the dialog clips from The Retrosic's song The Storm is Max yelling for the hookers to "get to work you filthy animals". Sweet.

I saw the third mummy. It was okay, kinda a 3D fun fest and I missed Rachel Weisz as the leading lady.
I do love Michelle Yeoh so she was probably my favorite character.

Pineapple Express.

It was funny, I was expecting a bit more but that's what happens after these guys make classics like 40 year old virgin, etc. James Franco's character was hilarious, he had so many great one liners in this. It was also cool to see Franco and Rogen reunited after Freaks and Geeks, and what do you know its a stoner movie.

Watched the MST3K and Cinema Insomnia versions of Devil Doll yesterday and I think both were enjoyable.

Am I the only person on Earth who thought "40 year old Virgin" and "Knocked Up" were not funny? I tried watching both due to everyone recommending it but both failed to get more then a few chuckles out of me. Then again I think the last funny Will Ferrell movie was "Old School" and he wasn't even that popular when it came out, now he's all the rage and makes about 5 movies a year it seems.
