I didn't think I would like Avatar in 3d but I did.

Roger Dodger. After watching I checked Rotten Tomatoes and couldn't believe the near universal praise it got. I wonder if those critics still feel the same way.


Mostly it seemed a study in filming a pathologically and pathetically smug guy smoking and declaiming his nihilistic views on life.

doesn't he walk around new york trying to get a young kid laid? can i say that? laid?
i've seen it but a long time ago..

That's the one. Laid.

Hunger- True story of IRA prisoners on a hunger strike. Powerful visual film that is at times very disturbing. Only one major scene of dialogue in the entire movie. If nothing else you have to respect the physical transformation of the main actor. I enjoyed it a lot, but it's not for everyone. 8/10

Food, Inc.- Interesting documentary about where our food comes from. Literally made me sick to my stomach at a few points and I'm not someone that is bothered easily. Paints corn as the root of all evil and isn't very kind to Monsanto, Tyson, etc. It's something that everyone should watch just to have the knowledge, even if there isn't much that can be done to change the system. 7/10

Taking Back Woodstock- Demetri Martin gettin gay with a bunch of hippies. You would think any movie about the Woodstock era would at least have a good soundtrack, but you would be wrong. This movie is over 2 hours long and says surprisingly little. It wasn't offensively bad, but I can't come up with anything good to say about it either. The epitome of 5/10.

Brothers at War- A documentary filmmaker follows his two brothers to Iraq and spends time with their actual units to find out why they do what they do. If you have family or friends who have been deployed, it's a good movie to understand their motivations as well as the changes you may notice when they return to civilian world. If you don't, you probably won't get much out of this film. 7/10

Will Ferrell: You're Welcome America- An hour and a half of Ferrell in Bush character is a bit long. They could have cut quite a bit of it out and still been just as funny. I still laughed my ass off at several parts. Certainly better than most of Ferrell's recent films. 6/10

Flame and Citron-Two assassins who are part of an underground resistance group in Denmark during WWII that fight local Nazis. I believe it is based on a true story. Well-acted, although the plot was a little weak. 6/10

Dead Snow- Nazi zombies terrorize a group of twenty-somethings on vacation in the mountains. I liked it because I like crappy horror movies that don't take themselves seriously. The kind that make you laugh more than try to scare you. If that's not you, then it's just a crappy horror movie. 6/10

That's the one. There's a scene where a couple has sex while the guy in the couple is pooping.

I'm not sure that's even possible. At least I hope not.

Are you trying to tell us that a scene in a nazi zombie movie is unrealistic?

Yeah, it doesn't pass the smell test.
