What's the last movie you've seen?

Star Trek and Angels and Demons

Both were better than I thought they would be, considering I'm neither a Trekkie nor a fan of the Da Vinci Code.

The Hangover.  Go see it.

Up In The Air

Very good movie.  I'm happy that they didn't go for the cliché, sappy ending.

Boondock Saints II

Terrible, terrible movie.  It almost felt like a parody of the first one.

Boondock Saints II

Terrible, terrible movie.  It almost felt like a parody of the first one.

The first felt like a parody of crime drama Tarantino-esque films too rather than a legitimate one, so if this is even worse...wow.

My thoughts exactly.  The worst part is that my friends who dragged me to see it with them both love the film and eagerly anticipate what looks like another sequel.

I think I actually like Avatar more, and the thought makes me want to vomit.  At least its visuals are impressive; Boondock Saints II has nothing to compensate for a poorly scripted screenplay.

The Book of Eli

I quite like it.  The film's palette of browns and grays helps to reinforce the backstory, and I like the balanced view that it gives religion - how it can be both a source of knowledge and a channel by which to manipulate others.

There's more that I want to say about Eli, but I'll wait until others see it; I think you'll like the film more if this is all you read.

Edge of Darkness

Is this the first movie where Gibson doesn't try to hide how short he is?  He was noticeably shorter than just about every other member of the cast.

[Magic 8-Ball]

Brooklyn's Finest

Not a bad movie, but not great either.  I felt like Ethan Hawke played an older, more cynical version of his character from Training Day.

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. The only good part of the first one was Willem Defoe, everything else was atrocious. Now take out Willem Defoe and make everything else worse...

Do you dread the next potential installment as much as I do?

I wasn't aware there was going to be another one. Hopefully it comes out after I'm gone from college so I don't have to hear about it or be around anyone who'll subject me to its horrors....

I felt like the last ten or fifteen minutes laid the groundwork for it.

At least your friends didn't drag you half an hour to the only theater that was playing it.

Kick Ass

I have to agree that the plot holes barely detract from an otherwise fun movie.  Did anyone else think that the color palette seemed a bit off in some places?


Death at a Funeral

James Marsden's character made the movie.  Zoe Saldana is still hot.

Survival Island

Tell me: is Billy Zane a bad actor or does he just do it for the paycheck sleep his way through roles?  I've never been able to tell.

I thought he was good in Titanic.

It's kind of funny you mention Titanic; his character is similar in both films.

I think he owes the IRS money so I would think he just takes any role.  I remember reading he was in some Turkish anti American blockbuster.  I thought he was good in Dead Calm but that was over 20 years ago.

That would explain it.  And, yeah, Dead Calm was pretty good.

I've wanted to see Valley of the Wolves for some time too.  I haven't viewed the trailer, but the outlandish comparisons in some of its reviews have really piqued my curiosity.

Tron: Legacy

Though it was a little more sentimental than I expected, and in certain places definitely felt hokey, I liked it.  The film's ambiance reminded me somewhat of Blade Runner.

As for attendance, I don't think my theatre was even a quarter full.
