You've been catching up on a few Walter Matthau movies lately!

Saw The Runaways over the weekend. I enjoyed it, even though I didn't know any of their music. It wasn't until Joan Jett went solo that she popped up on my radar. Interesting movie. The actresses do a good job.

We have been catching up on Deadwood through Netflix and We Lcve It!! We are on the 2nd season now. Its slow going because I only rent one movie at a time. I get all depressed when the dvd is over.

Just watched 'Cold Storage'.

Tennessee is not represented well.

Terminator: Salvation.

Man, that was bad. Not Starship Troopers 2 bad, but bad nonetheless.

Dave Chappelle Show, Seasons 1 and 2.

Lost Episode up next.

Baaaaaad in a totally different kind of way.

"Make Them Die Slowly"

"Urgh! A Music War"

First disk of first season of Heroes. Wow. I hope they kept the quality as high as these first bits.

Rotation
Post WWII German movie that follows a man from the late 1920s to 1947 or so ... it focuses on his attempts not to join the Nazi party and then on conflicts with his son.

Interesting, and very artistic style of film-making.

Eye of the Dolphin
Total tearjerker, about a dolphin researcher in the Bahamas. Friend of mine chose it.

Watch the rest of the first season. Take a few precious moments to let it all soak in. Then, crack open your skull and use a soldering iron to burn out the part of your brain that is aware that this show ever existed. If necessary, move to Siberia and do not ever own another television set again.

I enjoyed almost all of the first season. I felt let down by the season finale. Plot holes (Peter could fly. What did he need Nathan for?) and a lack of drama/action in the denouement.

"Kickass"...it did not.
"Hoboken Hollow"...Just sit in a dark room and say "What the fuck?" every ten minutes, and save yourself from this abortion of a movie.
"Under the Mountain"...I assumed that, since Sam Neill was in this, it would be, at the worst, okay. Never, ever assume.

I watched Kickass last night. Holy shit batman, what a great movie.

I just saw this a few days ago. Now that my nephew started school, I finally have time to sit back and watch something. I agree, it was a great movie.

Taken
Good acting, well directed action movie, but it left me wanting, I never felt he wouldn't succeed he just keeps plodding through the bad guys following a trail. Even though he's ripping through France leaving a trial of destruction and death theres no consequence, it was too fluffy and Hollywood, especially the ending.

netflix recommended Harry Brown, sounds great, Michael Caine as old soldier going for revenge against the drug gang that killed his mate.
But one of the reviewers says there's no real twist or moral dilemma, he just goes along taking them out.

I need more, mystery or moral conflict so that ultimately theres is an outcome, not just an ending.

If memory serves, it stays really good for at least 4-5 seasons. After that we stopped watching, but only because the blatant X-Men plot ripoffs just became too galling.
