Seen any good movies lately??

I myself just saw Iron Man the other day. I knew next to nothing about the comic, but was pleasantly surprised. Quite the fun movie!
Doesn't have be a new movie, just anything you've seen recently and would like to blab about.
Besides, I need some new films to watch on those rainy days...

Of course we are all waiting for Get Smart.

Naturally!

No Country for Old Men - as good as it gets. If you're a Netflix member, order Black Books, a BBC TV comedy series.

we went to the local "Pizza and a Movie" place and saw "Bucket List". yea, i know it's been out for a while, but we just now got around to seeing it. it was hilarious, but still sad. we just had a really close friend (he and his wife stood up with us at our wedding) pass away the week before. we both left with tears in our eyes and Bambi wept uncontrollably for an hour.

it was FUNNY!!! really.....just couldn't tell from OUR reactions.

I just saw Iron Man also. Loved it. Robert Downey Jr was very good as the lead. IMHO.

I saw Iron Man the first day at the theater... just worked out that way. I liked it quite a lot, but thought it could have been even so much more.

Ya'll can have Get Smart. I'll wait for that one until it's "on cable".

Don't mind me, when I watch TV, it's usually TCM.

Poultrygiest, night of the chicken dead.
Made for about $3000 a couple blocks from my house in Buffalo.
Could it be the worst movie ever?
I don't think so, but it comes very close.
Gross, infantile, silly, disjointed and I came close to loving it.
Even a 3AM TV version on HBO (if it ever happens - doubt it) would be cut to shreds, you need to see the original to see it all.
I need to see it again.

Any one see "Smart People"?

Iron Man was probably one of the two best superhero flicks ever (the second being Batman Begins). It was also financed totally my Marvel, which means that they weren't beholding to anyone who would have screwed it up. From what I understand, John Favreau's roadster is the car that Tony Stark is working on in the movie (mmmMMMmmm flathead Fords...).

Speed Racer ... Well, if you have to see it, don't. It was terrible. It was worse than terrible. It was - obviously - made by people who don't appreciate or understand the subject they're messin' with.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was good. It has full frontal male nudity. I recommend it because it's good, not because of the other ... thing.

Forbidden Kingdom was certainly one of the better martial arts flicks I've seen recently (and, having a 16 year old who is convinced he's a ninja or has mad skilz when it comes to martial arts, I have seen every crapfest that's come down the Yangtze), and worth a look, if you're into kung fu flicks. It's well done.

CoN Prince Caspian ... meh. It was okay. Lots of special effects. Tons of CGI.

In my opinion, CGI shouldn't ever replace story. Unfortunately, it seems that some directors think that if they throw enough CGI into the mix nobody will notice that the acting was terrible, the story was a POS, and that everyone will tell their friends about how good the movie was. For those directors who believe that boobs and bombs sell a movie: Die Hard. True Lies. Iron Man. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Great STORIES. Excellent ACTING.

I'm looking forward to Indiana Jones, You Don't Mess With The Zohan (please, be good Adam, please), Get Smart (please don't be the next Speed Racer...), Wall-E, Hancock, Hellboy II, the Dark Knight, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Tropic Thunder (although I really don't hold out much hope for it...).

Your pal,
Meat.
