I watched that leak of Wolverine. It's not quite finished, and it was really interesting to see it in its current state. Some of the CGI isn't finished, you can still see the cables on people shoulders, and the voice-overs were done by other people. It's a pretty good movie, IMO, better than X-Men 2 and 3.

It was an interesting experience watching it like that, and I'm glad I did, but I'm sure some people wouldn't be.

I saw Adventureland over the weekend - anyone else see it? It was fairly sweet and sentimental, and also funny and well developed. Also, if I were a filmmaker, I'd open with "Bastards of Young" by the Replacements and close with "Don't Change" by INXS too.

Overall, it's from the same writer as Superbad, but it's must more nostalgiac and lovelorn and character driven. Not exactly earth changing, but it's a nice movie.

Dead to me.
I truly understand your disdain for Dane Cook. Really, I do. But I cant deny the fact that before I had ever heard of the man, my friends made me see him live when he came to Missouri State back in 04 or 05. I really have to say that I thought the show was hilarious and great. Sorry! :D

is the only form of humor swearing and saying an ironic combination of curse words
in an innocent and shy tone? cause they got away from that [expletive] a little in "pineapple express"
and i actually liked that one..

Watch Firaaq(new bollywwod movie). This movie doesnt have any BS normal bollywood movie have. This movie is based on true story about a family who had to go through hell during a communal violence in Gujarat, India. Warning: some of the scenes are disturbing.

I watched Changeling last night. The story is amazing, but the movie is flawed. All the performances were way too big, and the last 1/3 of the movie meanders. I'd give it a 6/10.

I concur. Great story, but told in such an over-the-top fashion by the actors (and director) that it was kinda ruined. Shame, because everything else about the movie was pretty good.

I saw I Love You, Man over the weekend. It's not bad, but the first half hour is a little boring to sit through. It's also not as crude as most of the other movies of that set.

I enjoyed it, but coming off of Role Models, I was a little disappointed.

I actually just watched Role Models over the weekend and wish I was Paul Rudd.

I saw that one too. Quite dissapointed. There were funny parts but it wasnt very good. I felt like they took away everything that makes Paul Rudd funny by making his character a complete puss.
