So I am officially very excited for Seven Psychopaths. Martin McDonagh, who made In Bruges (which was awesome and I hope you've seen it), is directing a movie with Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, Gabourey Sidibe (Precious), and holy-crap-she-looks-amazing-in-lingerie Olga Kurylenko. Oh, and Tom Waits.

Cmon gimme that trailer already!

Thinking about going to see African Queen on the big screen at the Wildey in Edwardsville on Saturday.

I probably shouldn't have enjoyed this "God Bless America" trailer as much as I did. Kind of reminds me of Heathers.

Also, it's NSFW:

In a similar WTF vein, I hadn't heard of Iron Sky either.

Watched The Guard last night. 96% on RT was generous, but it was a fun movie. Nothing incredible though. If you like Brendan Gleeson you'll like it.

pretty much my review poster here earlier

How was The Guard?

Entertaining but far from a must see, black comedy.

I saw Bridesmaids. It's good, but I may have liked it just as much as a PG13 movie.
Melissa McCarthy was amazing

I'm glad I didn't pop for it in the theatres like I was planning.

Well damnitall obviously you didnt' scan through my totally unnecessary spring movie trailer thread where I very nerdily talked it up. I am late to the party, as you are, apparently, as I guess this thing has been in the works for a long-ass time. It's some weird public-created movie where people volunteer plot points, graphics sequences, et al, and now it's all coming together. It's about Space Nazis. It's probably going to be completely awful. I doubt it'll even be a major-theater release, more of an art-house kinda deal. But the corny trailers so far are all hilariously awesome.

"The Birds" is playing on Retro a lot lately. The unintentional hilarity of this movie slays me.

The Secret World of Arrietty was a nice mellow flick to watch with the kid. I had no idea what to expect, and it is the Japanese produced animation. Pretty cool visually. It was mellow because it wasn't nonstop ADD assault on the senses that most kid's entertainment is today -ironically that stuff typically puts me to sleep in the darkness of a theater.
The kid didn't like the movie much at all.

Lorax movie will be out soon.
