If you aren't [expletive] pumped about Big Fan, you should be.

Drag Me to Hell is awesome. Cheesy, scary, hilarious.

I really want to see this, but I know it won't come to DeKalb.

I just saw this. Holy hell is it depressing. I like dark comedy more than most but this is just beyond bleak. There's a few chuckles and the last 20 minutes or so have some decent laughs but most of the film is just painfully lonely, and not in an existential artistic sort of way.

I went to a premiere of Where The Wild Things Are last night. What a profoundly sad movie. It was a great movie, just very emotional. Any happy moments in the movie were followed up with even more painful conclusions. As we were going to bed, my girlfriend asked me what my favorite part of the movie was...and after thinking for about 10 minutes, I felt like crying.

I'd still watch it again.

Last night, I watched "The Stuff", a little slice of campy 80's fun. The trailer:

Like "The Blob" before it, it pokes fun at mass consumerism, but never really takes itself that seriously. Anyway, I enjoyed it.

I just watched The Hudsucker Proxy for the first time ever. Jeezus, the Coen brothers are genre-piece masters. Every detail of that movie is intentional and done with love. It also fits in nicely with Oh Brother and Raising Arizona - just a likeable, clever film.

At one point, that was my favorite Coen film. I've sort of grown out of it a little but I still enjoy that movie a ton.

I watched Micheal Clayton for a second time last weekend. The first time, I didn't think much of it. This second time I really liked it. I'm glad I gave it a second chance.

I really liked it. Actually was the same way for me. The first time I wasn't sure what the hell I was watching. It was a little off putting, to be honest. Then I went back and watched it again and really focused on watching it and it turned out to be a great movie.

I watched Role Models for the first time (I have no idea why I waited so long) on Saturday. Really hilarious movie. I love Paul Rudd.
