I watched State Of The Union last night w/ Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Great movie.

Mary and Max - I saw "animated feature", "Toni Collette", and "Philip Seymour Hoffman". Not at all what I expected! I liked it, even if it was dark and depressing.

This has been one of my favorite Netflix finds. Great film!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I saw Monty Python Holy Ale the other day. I wonder if it is vegan?

Seeing as it's the holidays I saw Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas) last night. It was really good! Kinda moving.

just watched Mystic River, I thought it kind of sucked. I can't believe this movie got such good reviews. I thought it was really melodramatic and uneven.

Would you believe I had to watch this movie in a film analysis class in college? The professor made several other poor choices as well...

I bought a dvd w/ 4 old film noir movies on it. I watched Black Widow last night. It was really good.

was Get Him To The Greek any good?

Watched Dark Passage. Had only seen it once before...but man, is it good!

We saw The Tourist last night. If it had starred other than Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, I would've thought it was a complete piece of shiitake. Even with them, I thought it was pretty bad. The plot was just terrible, and the ending was ridiculous. OH, and the music was awful - they made the worst choices. Basically, it was advertised like some spy thriller, but it played almost like a rom-com.

(Mike wanted me to point out that he thought it was awesome.)

If you like gross-out Judd Apatow humor ... yes. It was funnier than I expected it to be, but there's one unfortunate scene that I really wish they had left out.

yes, this. It's good light entertainment.

-Nosferatu (F.W. Murnau's)

It's cute/funny. Nothing particularly clever, but I definitely don't regret watching it.

I'm watching Annie! I haven't watched it since I was a kid.

Yup, there were some funny bits and some gross bits. Worth watching if you like those sort of comedies.

The Other Guys
Snow Angels

I should have watched the comedy after the drama-rama.

I've already mentioned it in this thread, but I think everyone in the world needs to watch The Good, the Bad, the Weird.

....Seriously, people.

Just watched Oldboy last night. That movie is forked up.

ETA - I'd only ever seen Lady Vengeance of the vengeance trilogy, which I loved. I expected it to be weird and violent; I just didn't expect that ending.

It's on my list!

Just watched "I Wake Up Screaming"

have you guys ever watched a movie w/ the directors commentary on? I like to do that w/ movies that are hard to understand or seem to have alot of hidden meanings. Not the whole movie, but it's fun to do for awhile.

This Is Spinal Tap has the best commentary track with the band in character, as if they're watching it years later. It's almost like a sequel to the movie!

Son of Seitan · **Posted:** Mon Dec 20, 2010 12:51 pm

Commentary track on Conan the Barbarian is the best!!

I watched The Backup Plan the other day. It's cheesy as hell and stupid but I liked it anyway. Mainly because I am a bit obsessed with Alex O'Laughlin. Schwing.
