Yes sir I really enjoyed from start to finish. I was mad when Chappelle's character

[Show spoiler]died!

Haha! Got Em!!

I usually enjoy Johnny Depp and Michael Mann but this was a lesser effort
as far as I'm concerned...

I know what you mean, it's just missing something, I expected much better from Mann & Depp.

Check out Vincent Cassel's Mesrine Parts 1 &2 now they are the gangster films of 2009 not Public Enemies.

I think I loved every scene with Steve Buscemi-- he had some other zingers as well -- hilarious performance!

The Boondock Saints 5/5

Absolutely perfect imo and it will always be in my personal top 5!

Diary of the Dead 2.5/5

Hope Survival will be better!

Powder Blue - This was a very limited theatrical release last year so I never heard of it but it had a real good cast. However the film was so-so. But man I got to see Jessica Biel play a stripper and go topless! WOW!! Man is she gorgeous. The movie was all over the place however and it seemed like a wannabe Crash film. I stayed with it hopin it would pay off in the end and it didnt. Great to see Biel in action and boy does she know how to work a pole, but that couldnt save the film. Also this was Swayze's last performance "R.I.P." and boy what a character he played! I would rate it 2.5/5 and thats mostly because of Biel! Got Em!!

Yeah, Public Enemies wasn't all that great. It was solid, but not nowhere as good as a lot of people thought it would be.

I want to see Mesrine 1 & 2 so bad, but unfortunately it's not region-free.

One of my favorite movies.

Miss March - Actually pretty funny film. It wasnt consistent laughs but the funny parts are very funny. One of the better recent teen comedy films that I have seen, but that aint sayin much. 3/5 Got Em!!

Beyond A Reasonable Doubt- Much better than expected.... got it for $6 off of eBay on its release so I didnt expect much. Entertaining and worth the $6....if you are into mystery/drama type

Last movie I watched was Giant on TCM hI-def. I think DNR might have been used on their hi-def version because on close examination the picture was soft and some detail was lost. But boy will this film sing when Warner finally gets around to slapping it on blu.
Even though I think Rock Hudson's acting was good in the film I just don't think he fits the part of a Texan all that well. James Dean as Jet Rink is my favorite character.
Did not seem to be 3 1/2 hours in length though as it moved at a good pace.

Watched a part of "American Pie: Band Camp" last night on TV. It didn't look as dumb as I thought it would be; it's actually halfway amusing. 3/5

[Blu Ian]

Heat

Great ensemble and with one of the most awesome robber scenes in any movie.

The sound is beyond masterful. I´ve learned that it is a swedish guy that was the sound engineer, pretty awesome.

My favorite movie of all time.

10/10

[PaulJunior]

The Soloist

PQ - 4.5
AQ - 4.5

The movie itself gets a 6.5/10 from me. I was counting on a happy ending...

[Al_The_Strange]

A friend let me borrow "Go," and it was fun. The stories were rather amusing, the characters (even the shady ones) were likable, and the soundtrack was cool. I'm adding it to my wishlist. 4/5

Just finished The Prestige.

5/5 without a doubt for me.


That movie never gets old for me. One of my favorite movies. Jackman and Bale are superb in the movie

That thread is what gave me the urge to bump it to the front of my "need to watch" list
