Started watching a cool documentary on netflix called I Like Killing Flies about this hole in the wall restaurant in Greenwich Village. The chef-owner kicks people out and tells them to [expletive] off for ordering coffee only or having a party of more than 4 people, among other things. It's hilarious.

It was okay. Rather miscast. Jamie Bell?? Who the F is Jamie Bell?? You already had your perfect Tintin (Simon Pegg) and you decided to make him one of the freaking Thompson Detectives instead??! WTF?? Also, Andy Serkis as Haddock was a good call, but either he or the production crew wrecked his accent. Completely. Daniel Craig was brilliant as Sakharine, but unrecognizable from the voice-work alone.

wouldn't pegg be too old for tintin? i personally didn't have a problem with the casting. the more i think about it, the more i realize how much i enjoyed tintin (saw it 12/24)

Am I the only one here who wants to see Haywire? Just looking at Gina Carano for 2 hours might make it worth watching...

[thrill]

I'm on board.

If I want to watch a woman get sweaty for two hours, she's going to be a lot hotter than Gina Carano and she isn't going to be kickboxing.

When I say I love athletic women, I generally mean ones that could run several miles more than me, not ones that could kick the hell out of 5 of me at once. But she's still one good lookin woman, and I am interested in the movie simply because she'll look more genuine kicking the crap out of military trained movie thugs then 120 pound Angelina Jolie, etc.

and it looks like it's got a corny 80s action movie consciousness from some of the teasers, so maybe it'll actually be a fun movie, and not C-grade WWE-financed shlock.

I should also say that it's getting surprising internet hype on the movie sites; currently nine of nine reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and all are super-high on it. One says its the best action movie since the Bourne series.

I've been on a bit of a found-footage horror film kick lately, and I discovered a fairly lesser known but incredibly disturbing one. A British film called "Exhibit A". A refreshing change of pace due to it not involving the supernatural at all, but a similarly dark descent in an otherwise seemingly-happy and close family all caught on camera.

I recommend. A bit slow to start, but very chilling once you figure out what's going on, downright disturbing at parts. Not for the faint of heart. The filmmakers make it seem like this sort of thing could happen to any otherwise stable family.

Think "The Shining" except with a family of four and without ghosts being involved.

It's available completely free on youtube.
