Oh man that's funny. I'm going to have to look for more of those.

the further the series went the more over the top it got, just like Rocky.

I love them all. The latest one really ratchets up the brutality and gore.

He's already talking Rambo V despite the seeming book end of IV.

So you're saying in the later Rambos Sly has to arm wrestle for custody of his son?

watched "rambo" last night...i gave it a 4/5 on netflix (but i'd prefer 3.5)...it wasn't anything great or special, but i enjoyed it and the action was good (that's what "bumped" it up a 4)

one thing i noticed...it's like, he's hardly a badass rambo anymore...i think because sly is old...i noticed its like...he's the boat driver, theres a few scenes of him running in the jungle and then he's behind that big turret gun at the end in the final battle...not exactly the same rambo...oh well

next on the queue is "Drag me to hell" and "bobby"

I liked Pirate Radio.

I've gotta say, I was surprised by almost everything I rented this week.

Whatever Works: As I get older, I'm more and more a fan of the 60 year old guy gets 21 year old girl films. I wasn't even close to loving this movie but I guess I liked it a bit. Reminded me a little of Mighty Aphrodite, which I like a lot, but without so much of the crudeness. I'd never need to watch it again but it's a rare post-Soon Yi Woody Allen film that I enjoyed. ***
Lars and the Real Girl: As chick flicky as this film was, I enjoyed it a lot. Sure, it's ridiculous but would it be a better film if it were more realistic? Do we need the typical Hollywood antagonist or the punk 12 year old kids yelling "retard"? Basically, it came down to really enjoying Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer and Kelli Garner. ***1/2
There Will Be Blood: I was really in the mood to watch this after thoroughly enjoying No Country For Old Men (not sure why they seem to go together) but I can't figure out what there's to like about this film. Drawn out way longer than it needed to be. Over dramatic score when very little is happening on the screen. ALL unlikeable characters. Ugly topics; Greed, power, religion, selfishness, oil. I came into this wanting to like it but I left it truly disliking everything I saw. **
The Mummy (59 Hammer version): Great color Hammer version of The Mummy. The 32 version, as cool as it was, lost out on the opportunity to take advantage of one of the greatest looking "monsters" of all time; Boris Karloff as the Mummy. He was only on the screen for a few seconds in full bandages. The Hammer film kept Christopher Lee bandaged up throughout...and it's great. Coming up out of green swamps, crashing through windows and doors at top Mummy speed. A lot of fun. ***1/2

Why is that? The obvious reason or something else?
