[The Third Man]

Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Bringing Out the Dead, Face/Off (yes, Face/Off), Vampire's Kiss, Wild at Heart.

Face/Off is an unintentional comedy. And the rest of them suck except maybe Adaptation and Elizabeth Shue's boobs in Leaving Las Vegas.

I don't particularly care about the "unintentional/intentional" distinction in the first place (death of the author and all that), but I don't see how anybody watches that movie, sees John Travolta and Nic Cage hamming it up while playing each other and says "Yeah, they thought this was high drama."

adaptation is a great film and cage is awesome in it.

i wouldn't say he's an amazing actor but i think he does get [expletive] on a bit too much

This is nothing short of amazing. If you want the Cliffs Notes version, watch the first video:

Cowboys and Aliens was really stupid. Jarring transitions between the pretty cool straight Western stuff, then the really stupid alien stuff. Couldnt get past the alien stuff. Even Christs Greatest Creation aka Olivia Wilde couldn't save it.

Just watched The Box.
Hmmm, the first half was kind of trippy, weird, in a good way.
The second half was horrible and made me hate the movie.

Tried to watch Your Highness. It was even more awful than the trailers. Made it about 3 minutes in, fast forwarded hoping for something better, or at least that Natalie Portman skinny dipping scene, and just couldn't bear the ghastly dialogue. Luckily, the event lasted about 8 total minutes. Blech.

watched "captain america" today. pretty fun. chris evans definitely looks like steve rogers. hugo weaving is badass, as he usually is. i'd give it 3.5/5. plus the after credits teaser looked awesome.
