me too. Which theater do you guys go to, Manor or Penn? Penn has some new projectors that really make a difference.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I saw Burn After Reading on Friday and walked away very dissappointed. But now, the more I think about the better it seems. I think I'll have to rent it or something in a few months before I can really say it was a huge waste of time, but as for now I wouldn't recommend it to most people.

Saw Eagle Eye. I thought it was pretty decent. Nothing special, just a decent action flick at a time where not much else is good at the theater.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

saw speed racer,thought it was crap,what threw me was this one scene not too far into the movie where racer X is trying to catch this big semi like truck,and their driving these futuristic cars that do these amazing things,then they start shooting at racer X with tommy guns like from the twenties,that was too cartoonish for me,and it didnt make sense they would be using those types of weapons

I really hate those over the top action flicks. As a kid I guess they were cool, now they're just dumb.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Exactly. I'm ok with over the top as long it is plausible in the reality of the film. Like spiderman sticking to walls, batman swinging from the roof. Some limo driver ramping a jet ski from the ocean to the highway and gaining on the car he's chasing... that's a little too much. Also, the fight on the jet was classic cheese.
