OK movie with John Woo-style action.

Just got through watching 'The Wrestler'. Not a terrible movie, but I thought it was going to be better. The movie just kind of ended without fixing anything, but I guess that was the point. I don't know.

went to see Land of the Lost last night. Will Ferrell & the dinosaur are hillarious. and the rest of the cast Danny McBride & Anna Friel round it out nicely.

B-I-N-G-O

People complaining about "stupid" endings in good movies is climbing my list of pet peeves.

I haven't seen it but I assume he overcomes all odds and wins the day and everything works out okay?

I mean, no other ending would work, right?

An entertaining spaghetti western with a good story.

Or the exact opposite.

I'unno I still think that movie was a wee bit overrated. Or more than a wee bit. Best movie of '08? Not even close.

Just got back from seeing Year One. It was a pretty good film, not quite as funny as I thought it would be but amusing just the same. The ending definatly left room for a sequel. If you go see it stay thru the credits as there's some pretty amusing bloopers.

Saw Rocky V for the first time in years. It's still the weakest link in the series, but I can appreciate it a lot more now that it no longer carries the weight of being the finale.

I love heist movies... I saw Taken, Flawless, and Casino Job back to back... Very different but suspensfull nonetheless. Do you have some kind of list of heist movies that you could share? I probably have seen most of them, but am always on the lookout for ones I've never seen.

If thats a general question, I might have some ideas... It depends what type of heist movie you're into. Like comedy wise, theres the Ocean's movies, of course.

There was a decent one not too long ago with Edward Norton and DeNiro called the Score. Not as many like twists and turns as The Usual Suspects, but still interesting.

"The Score" is one of the better heist films out there.

Dollar Movie
Paul Blart: Fiance hated it, full of fat jokes. Could have been better.
Theater
Angels and Demons: Finally got to see it, even better than expected.

I'm your typical movie buff, I love to see movies... but the job market as it is, I haven't the money and it doesn't help to have a Fiance who doesn't like the movies...

That sounds... erotic? So, are you following the abridged book of religious leadership?
