CODE
starring Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas. Well put together. More twists than a ride on the Scrambler, and a surprise ending that is near impossible to predict. I loved it.
Come to think of it, I've never seen a Morgan Freeman movie that wasn't excellent.

BF's brother is in that, apparently. I have to watch it.

Blindness is very, very strange, brutal in places.

Ashes Of American Flags - Wilco

We had to sit through Wanted last night. What an incredibly retarded movie. Just like every other screenplay I had to critique in college written by classmates who had seen the Matrix too many times. I am utterly bewildered how this thing got such a big budget, not to mention Morgan Freeman.

When the revolution comes, smarty-pants like you are getting shipped to an island.

They're not DVDs, but I just watched Watchmen and started on Planet Earth on Blu-Ray. Very cool.

Watchmen had deleted scenes restored, which may not be good for people who don't like long movies, but was great for me.

I watched Planet Earth on cable, but the Blu-Ray has the original narration. No disrespect to Sigourney Weaver, but David Attenborough is the voice of nature.

Ya... Wanted sucked for me. One of the VERY few flicks w/ Morgan Freeman that I didn't find exceptional.:mad:

Gran Torino

What did you think BB? My Dad HATED it, but he thinks the Clint of the old days is wonderful and I dont think he likes the modern Clint.

I liked 'Gran Torino',from the point of view that it had shadows of the 'old' Clint Eastwood...especially at the end.

<spoiler below,for those who have not seen it yet>














When he precipates the confrontation between himself and the Gang..there's more than a shade of his 'The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly' trilogy, but the outcome has more....significance.It reminded me more of John Wayne in 'The Shootist',his final movie.

I've just finished watching Ken Burns excellent series of documentaries detailing 'The American Civil War'.I left the experience feeling that I knew more than when I started out, and surely that is the aim of such a piece of work.

I tried to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Couldn't do it.

Went back in the little tyvek envelop after the first half hour or so.

I hate it when all the good stuff is in the commercial.

I made it as far as the bar scene and had to stop. Its pretty bad.

Yup. Sucked. (Mall Cop)
I took a trip down nostalgia avenue (which I am renowned for), and watched American Graffiti today. Great movie. I actually WATCHED it this time since I wasn't making out with a girlfriend the whole time. Hard to decide which time was more fun.....

I just put in Crash. I think it's interesting, though I've seen it before I always find new stuff.

There is nothing on regular cable TV.
