I loved Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. If you smoke pot, I suggest some beforehand. If not, still a great movie. Long Island ITM.

Up In The Air is quite good. Not 100 oskar nominations worthy... idk what they were thinking. but a good movie.
Re-watched A History Of Violence and Eastern Promises while waiting for the next Cronenberg film.
It has been way too long :'(

wow, book of eli was a hudge letdown. The more I see of denzel washington, the less I like him. Im really glad I just downloaded that shit and didnt go pay to see it. Theres absolutely zero character development in that movie, and the fictional world they created wasnt believable/impressive enough to carry the movie. I mean, it wasnt street kings bad, but it was def a let down.

god Role Models was so funny. Is Zombieland supposed to actually be good? it looks so bad/cheesy in the trailers.

bad/cheesy is part of the humor and pretty much the gist of the genre. I liked it. Have you seen Sean of the Dead?

I actually found Zombieland to be a huge let down. As far as joke Zombie movies go Shaun of the Dead was much more funny.

So I got some time to catch up on movies today.
Hurt Locker was amazing. In all ways.
Fantastic Mr. Fox was amazing. Voice acting was really good and the movie was just warm and enjoyable.
The Invention of Lying was high concept but not that good. Despite his amazing stand up, it kind of made me like Ricky Gervais a little less.

I liked shaun of the dead, but it just doesnt compare to zombieland for me.
Shaun was more slapstick humor, while zombieland was humor based on badassery, similar to pulp fiction.

Two very good movies from my part of the world(Argentina) are:
1- "Nueve Reinas"
2- "El Secreto de sus Ojos"
BTW, theres a remake of "Nueve Reinas" called "Criminal" if any of you has already seen it. Id like to hear what you think of these movies. They are really good IMO.

I just watched The Hurt Locker, and was extremely disappointed. I suppose its well acted, but it just has no story. It's one of the most frustrating movies I've ever watched because the whole time I was trying to figure out what it was about.

You're wrong, it was an awesome movie. That's basically all they do. There are bombs everywhere and those are the mofos that go out and disarm them. No story needed to depict the lives of these guys. Everyday someone finds a bomb and everyday they go and disarm it.

You have to be kidding me. One of the best cameos of all time. It was such a fun watch while drinking beers with a few buddies. My roommate bought it on DVD and I think we've watched it 5-6 times since.
In other news, I saw Shutter Island. Cinematography was great, movie was pretty good for the first 90 minutes.

Shutter Island I thought was alright. I thought the punchline was unraveled with good pacing and credibility and the acting and directing were top notch ldo

I know, sorry guys. I was really excited to go see it, but it bores you to tears (or sleep in the people in front of me's case). I really expected a lot more from Tim Burton, but what can you do. Jonny Depp was excellent but thats kind of a given.

Haha agreed. Hope you have more fun with it than I did.
Just watched Flight of the Valkyrie last night for the first time. It's been out for a while, but DAMN is it a good movie. Probably my favorite Tom Cruise movie after Cocktail obv. If you haven't seen it yet, go out and watch it.

I downloaded and watched "Precious" and I really enjoyed it.
Its a story about Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey helping an abused fatass black girl from Harlem.

isnt the movie simply titled "Valkyrie"? The movie where cruise plays a nazi?
I remember being pretty disappointed with this movie. Cruises best film is by far mission impossible, with second place being a tie between tropic thunder and top gun.
