I expected it to be like Road Trip or something, a pretty mindless comedy with some laughs sprinkled in, but it was just terrible on every level.

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is without a doubt the [expletive] movie of all time. Just [expletive] terrible. I think my watching the entire thing made up for JL or Geen or whoever it was that was supposed to watch all of the Hottie and the Nottie. I don't know how a movie could be worse. I've made a lot of terrible drunken decisions, but I think watching that movie in its entirety was my worst. I hope that gets my point across.

I'd never even heard of that thing, but Netflix lists co-stars as some douches I've never heard of... AND TRACI LORDS.

Anyway, all the viewer reviews are either 1 star, claiming it to be the worst [expletive] movie ever made, or 5 stars with the claim that people shouldn't take it too seriously.

I loved the book though....

Let the Right One In -

Note to self. Do not get murdered in Sweden. The police are incompetent and may not actually exist except to pull dead guys out of the ice.

Loved it, for the most part. There's a lot of plotholes like the above, but I figure that's missing the point.

I didn't quite understand the scar when I saw it. When she said "I'm not really a girl" I thought she meant she was really 20,30, 50 years old. Even then the scar was kind of weird and I didn't realize she was a castrated boy. I just thought maybe she was attacked viciously by whatever vampire turned her. In retrospect that's kind of stupid on my part. They had a girl play her, which seems like an odd choice. I never thought she seemed even a little androgynous.

The "happy" ending didn't really work for me. Earlier in the movie, she says "we can't be friends." That's clearly true once you find everything out and it gives the plot some wight. Then at the end, you think she's gone and she comes back just in time to save him, and then they run off to be together. I thought it was going to end a couple times before the ending in the train, and would have been better off doing so.

Terminator Salvation:

Without going into specifics, it seems to me this got a bad rap. The action was constant, but I didn't think it was obnoxious in the least. I saw reviews comparing it to a videogame, which doesn't seem fair. There were several missed opportunities for at least some token character development, which would have been nice. But in some ways, I felt like this one conveyed the seriousness of machines ruling the world in a way T2 didn't. It didn't feel ridiculous like a Michael Bay movie, which is what I was expecting from the reviews.

Well I finally caved and went to see Avatar in 3D yesterday. The story itself was just as the reviews said, typical & predictable. But honestly, I was amazed at how cool the 3D stuff was. In some parts it looked a little goofy & was hard for my eyes to adjust but overall it was pretty [expletive] amazing looking. The effects in the "pandora" world were worth the price of admission.

I loved the book though....

The book is only ok if you recognize he is a lying sack of [expletive] and it's a work of fiction. I saw the movie on the shelf but I just knew it would be horrible. Thanks for falling on that grenade, ICE.

Who cares if it's fiction...it's fun. Surely you aren't looking for Tucker Max to tell true stories about his life that don't paint him in an extremely flattering light.

Rabbit Proof Fence- Some things are hard to explain to a nine year old. Even a bright, worldly and socially aware one.

Just watched "Sin Nombre" via the Netflix Instant Queue. Don't see any mention of it here yet.

Can't recommend it highly enough. The director's an American, but it was produced by Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, the two guys from "Y Tu Mama Tambien"

Fleeing retaliation from the violent Central American street gang he has deserted, young hood Casper boards a northbound train, where he takes refuge on top of the moving freight cars and hopes for a fresh start in a new country. Dodging authorities and other dangers, he finds a new friend in Sayra (Paulina Gaitan), a Honduran girl also making a run for the American border. Cary Fukunaga directs this exciting thriller.

The lead actor looks a little like Yadi:

The Fall

Holy crap this movie blew my mind. Goofy, imaginative, creepy, corny, gut-wrenching, all over the place. Incredible set pieces (my buddy that made me watch it said it took them 4 years to film due to all the travelling).

Basically, a guy in a hospital tells a little girl a corny story, and you see it unfold through her very active imagination. It's not a kids movie at all, but the girl's super charming, the main guy is very believable, and the visuals are astounding. I can't believe I'd never even heard of it till now.

It definitely was rather confusing and disjointed, but it was striking enough that I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to see a pretty awesomely trippy movie. I can understand a lot of the bad reviews' viewpoints, though.
