yea, i agree 100% with everything you said. i think he was also very funny in the little parts he has played in such as zoolander, the wedding crashers and starsky and hutch. lets not forget a night at the roxbury, that movie is pretty funny. he was ok in kicking and screaming.

Thirteen can be a bit confusing at first, but it definitely flushes itself out better than Twelve did.

I haven't seen Thirteen yet but I did see Twelve and Eleven and even though I don't think Twelve is nearly as good as Eleven it still is a pretty good movie. I didn't understand it much the first time I saw it but every time I've seen it I understand it better and so it becomes better.

I loved Will Ferrell on SNL but I've yet to see a movie of his that I really liked. He was good in Old School only because he didn't have a huge role, I guess I just like him in small doses.

Sigh.

I saw The Happening and I can't say I was anything but sorely disappointed. Not as disappointed as I was with The Strangers though.

I'm practically as liberal as it gets, but I'm tired of Hollywood throwing hippy BS at me in their movies, especially when it's marketed as NOT having anything that could be construed as "preachy".

M Night Shamalamabanarama I think has fallen completely into the deep end.

The Sixth Sense - Great
Signs - Another good one
The Village - Not as good
Lady in The Water - ???
The Happening -

On a better note, I thought Marky Mark did a decent job of acting. I also liked that Zoey whoever chick who was played his wife.

This had the potential to be SUCH a good movie being that it was R rated. But instead it was just a steaming pile. Talk about an anti-climatic ending. I thought M. Night was known for having all these crazy twists? But this wasn't a twist, it was just frustratingly weird. The best part of the movie was trying to figure out why people would just willingly kill themselves. As soon as we figured out found out why, I immediately stopped caring because I couldn't find that shit plausible. (Maybe it is?)

Otherwise, I didn't really get anything out of this movie.

No twist in a Night movie, is it even worth watching then. The twists are what made it good, I mean bruce willis a ghost!!

yeah,I like her too,speaking of Will Ferrell,the first time I saw her was in Elf,and i just found out this morning her sister is the star of the fox show "Bones"

What "happened" is I was duped into believing M. Night could actually resurrect himself after that steaming pile of Lady in the Water. And the clean sweep of the 2008 Razzies goes to... worst script, worst acting, worst premise, worst decision to green light said script, worst decision to let this guy keep working in movies. The only Razzie not received by this film goes to me... for actually seeing it.

[itvnetop]

For all you horror lovers, check out this Spanish flick called [Rec]. It's handheld-style, set in one apartment complex. They've got an American remake called "Quarantine" coming out this summer, but I'm wagering it's gonna fall flat next to its predecessor. If you can get a copy of this, watch it in the dark with your headphones. This movie is ill!

anyone else going to see Dark Knight at midnight tomorrow/today? I've had my ticket for about a week now and cannot freaking wait. I just wish the imax nearby was playing it cuz that would be insane.

I couldn't cop IMAX tix until the Saturday showing... I had to get the tix almost two weeks ago! Damn 4th row too...

This opening weekend is gonna blow record books wide open. I'm thinking close to 185 mill.

I've seen Ocean's Thirteen since the post at the top of the page, another excellent flick that I really liked.

I also saw Eastern Promises last week on Cinemax. I have to say, I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I thought the storyline was ok, but I feel like the ending absolutely sucked. It was like they were just going along with it and then decided they'd had enough, no ending necessary.

I actually thought this film was one of the best of 07... Cronenberg's last few films are kinda on that same level, where he weaves a tale and the ending reveals something about the character you don't expect. Viggo's been kickin' ass in both of the flicks with this director.

The stem room fight scence was insane! It remind me of Red Heat.

I thought Eastern Promises was a dud compared to the genius that was History of Violence. I hate it when foreign characters in films speak English in weird accents instead of their native language. One of my pet peeves.

And I'm excited for Batman, but it's getting kind of a negative buzz from the critics.
