I'm not sure if I like Scarface because it's a good movie, or that deep down I'm amused by the unintentional comedy. But it's great. I enjoy it every time.

Wolverine X-Men Origins or whatever it was called looked like it would be awesome for the first part. And it was close, but ultimately it fell flat and the fact that I was watching a pirated movie where all the CGI wasn't finished was more interesting. I sure did think the opening montage with him and Liev Schreiber was cool though.

I'll echo JL21 I'm proud of the Razzies for nominating Scarface. Though surely this above list is chock full of bad movies and performances, -weren't most of them meant to be dumb/stupid? capitalizing on marketing, star power, and avg moviegoers' intellect. I'd prefer them to show some courage and razz something like "Miracle at St. Anne".

I love that movie.

Speaking of which, I saw Stardust with her and DeNiro and Claire Danes a few weeks back. I was worried it would be corny, which it was in parts. But overall a pretty well done and enjoyable fantasy film, I thought. I guess it's based on a Neil Gaman book.

De Niro is the worst part of it, actually.

why, because he's a gay, dancing captain of a flying ship?
