Movies - General Discussion

I saw Middle Men with Luke Wilson, James Caan, and Giovanni Ribisi. It's not that bad.

Just saw "Rango" today. It is an outstanding film. Word of warning though - it is not a PG movie that just missed a G rating. It is a PG movie pushing PG-13. My two boys both loved it (they are 6 and 10) but it really wasn't appropriate for the 6 year old. I knew we weren't in Pixar anymore Dorothy within 5 minutes - when the hero spoke to an armidillo which was run over on the road and nearly cut in half.

It has many references to other films. I think movie buffs will love it just to catch the references.

Saw The Social Network last night. A very good film and intriguing story. I was riveted the whole time.

When Trent Reznor accepted the Oscar for Best Original Score, was anyone else thinking, "hey, that's guy who sang 'I want to **** you like an animal'"?

Went to see Adjustment Bureau.. It was ok, its pretty much what you see on the previews.

That's pretty hilarious, "Exotic Birds".

Reznor kicked a pretty bad drug habit about a decade ago then got into physical fitness and weightlifting and went from skinny to pretty beefy over the course of a couple of years, to the point where he looked like a caricature of himself, like a puffed up Henry Rollns. He's slimmed back down in recent years though.

Interesting...

[jaadam4]

Hall Pass was pretty lame.. Go figure

[jaadam4]

Went to see Black Swan... Cant figure out if it was genius or disappointing.

Saw Secretariat and was disappointed. With the subject matter of the greatest racehorse of all time, it should have been a great film. Instead it lacked depth - not only the story but the characters. And to cast such a mediocre actress as Diane Lane as the lead just added to the injustice.

I did like learning a bit of the history though. I didn't know he won the Belmont Stakes by such a huge margin.
