The Chris Rock "Good Hair" documentary was pleasant.
Lot's of great black hairshow psychedelia and India once again looks like the biggest shit hole you could ever visit.

I've heard good things and am sceptical.

Your answer should consider my hatred of Adam Sandler, "... Movie" series, most of Ben Stiller's and Mike Myers work and little interest in "The Hangover".
just got around to watching it.
i'm a fan.

Aye I'll get it on DVD.

Saw "Nowhere Boy" last night. Knowing nothing about John Lennon, I just found it sad.
:?

Great actors though, even if some felt a little miscast. Kristin Scott-Thomas owns the film.

kick ass ruled !

really enjoyed that , great performance by the lil girl , sure it was just a silly super hero movie with a lot of violence and profanity , but it kicked ass .

they coulda just left some of the blue material out , didnt really fit much , they shoulda even killed the profanity and just went with straight up mega violence , but ...

Yeah I liked that too mate, but I wouldn't have trimmed the swearing, it gives the film that rebellious edge. I wish we'd had a film like that when I was 16.
:D

Just saw "Gran Torino". Now there's a REAL film. Nice job Clint, great movie.

If they had trimmed the profanity it would have been even less like the source material.

the kid swearing just seemed too unrealistic and forced .

i remember when dirty harry was on the ABC sunday night movie of the week , it made quit an impression on me , as a 6 year old petey . i was thinking "man all movies shouldhave that much gunplay" but the norm was sound of music , and stuff like that .

gran torino , "get off my LAWN."

fucking classic .

I like the title "Hot Tub Time Machine" so much that I let a lot of the unfunny shit slide.

It did have some moments but you're better off with just the trailer

Uh oh.

I really can't take any more Hollywood comedy fails. Or Pinewood for that matter. Seriously, what are the writers doing???

Predators is fun in a tribute band/retro way, with the new twist (on an Alien planet).
Doesn't require too much thought, violent popcorn movie.

Win.

Oh, is it shit?
On my DVD list, along with The Road. Honestly, why did all the "yay! apocalypse! :D " movies all coincide? Fuck you Hollywood and your cloning of ideas.
