Watched Miracle at St. Anna last night from Netflix... Incredibly long movie (2 hr 46 min), but it didn't feel long at all to me - I was blown away when I saw what time it was when it was over. The acting was superb, and the storyline very dramatic and touching. My rating:
Phenomenal Movie - should be an addition to any movie collection.

wow hays, I have that in my instant que, might have to watch it. my room mate said it was awsome.
Lol why the "wow" ? You should definitely watch it.. I know a lot of people (especially a lot of people I know) that prefer just light movies, but I really love and appreciate the movies that strive to be touching stories and examples of fine cinematography, and I really get into my movies. Some people hate watching movies with me - if I'm into it, I hate talking, I hate moving, I don't even like eating much... I wouldn't necessarily say this movie was Film Of The Decade or such, but it was an absolutely stunning movie.

I read the book and was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps this one of those rare cases where the movie is actually better than the book.
Back to topic at hand, I'm a big fat loser and mostly what I do when I'm not working is watch movies. I don't watch chick flicks and I'm generally not into sci-fi movies (sometime of they're very well done I like them).
Best action movie I've seen in a long time was Taken. Defiance was also very good. As for a comedy, Hangover was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long, long time..."He's yanking his little weenus."
Holy crap!!!
We pretty much have the same taste in movies...
TAKEN is the craziest and most BADASS, well-written movie that I have seen in a LOOOOOONG time!
And I quote "The Hangover" almost everyday.... that movie ranks up there with Old School or Dumb and Dumberer....
NICE PICKS!!!
Nice! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...except herpes, that *** comes back with you.
I like this thread already. With all the talk about Hurt Locker, I'm definitely gonna check that out.
Another recent rental I really liked was Mickey Rourke...dude can act. Worst movie I have seen in a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time, maybe ever, was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Holy crap, that made me want to commit violence against Brad Pitt.

Oh yeah, another very funny recent rental I got was Role Models...that was funny, not Hangover funny, but pretty good.
I watched District 9 last night in Blu-ray, I loved it, thought it was a very inventive idea although the plot is pretty basic....more so inventive in the style and the acting, it was quite hilarious for a sci fi flick, I will definately watch this again sometime. Its been setup for a sequel which is good...Wickers is awesome! lol
I just saw I hope they serve beer in hell. Overall a good movie, it had it's funny parts but not as funny as hangover. It is a bit childish for these guys being in college but the nudity makes up for it. Def. see the uncut version. Not a good 1st date movie or one to share with the kids but guys night would be perfect. 7 out of 10.

Black Snake Moan. Great movie. Well done. Seeing Christina Ricci naked was an added bonus. Yum.
Shooter. Very Good. The advisors to the writer/director did a good job not letting hollywood go over the top with it all.
The Exorcist - The Beginning. Terrible movie.
Woo Hoo!!! Just qued it!!!
Ever since I saw The Addams Family when I was a wee lad...
I can't wait for Legion, but I fear it will be a "story book ending". I'm still excited to find out.
I don't know what race, but definately was a wee bit offensive to someone, somewhere..... Good movie though!!!
