Sherlock Holmes

Much to my surprise I really, really enjoyed this movie. A relatively accurate yet updated (IMHO) portrayal of the detective and the doctor. Entertaining from start to finish, minus a few small times when it gets a little slow.

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

Meh. And I wish it wasn't. Typical of most SciFi channel movies, it is no more than a 2-hour episode intended to milk a little more cash from series junkies. (of which I am) I wish I could say it was interesting to see the conflict from the cylon viewpoint, but it wasn't. I think it could have been, but it was just too difficult to portray it in 90 minutes. Also, you HAVE to have watched the series to get this movie. It is by no means a stand-alone film.

Finally watched The Hangover last night. Funny stuff, right from the opening lines:

"Listen, we [expletive] up, we lost Doug."
"What? We're getting married in five hours."
"Yeah...that's not gonna happen."

Watched the great movie "Old Yeller" last night - first time with Little Freedette. It gets me every time. Every [expletive] time.

Needless to say the Big Galoot is getting the King treatment today - instead of the Lord or Duke treatment which he normally gets.

You're being kind. It was a piece of junk. I'm also a BSG fanboy but this was terrible. At least Caprica has been pretty good so far.

the hurt locker = awesome

just finished it...terrific movie..

just finished it here to. fantastic. i thought it was "good", but the last 10 minutes made it "great".

and the last ten minutes are not what you would expect it to be.. and that's exactly why i liked it so much.

The Invention of Lying- In theory, this should have been a great movie. Solid, fairly original premise (people haven't developed the ability to lie, and say exactly what is on their mind) with a loaded cast (Gervais, Tina Fey, Louis CK, Ed Norton, PSH, Jonah Hill, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, Rob Lowe, etc.). It starts off pretty strong with some legitimately funny parts. But then it devolves into a sappy, formulaic rom-com when it could have been so much more. 5/10

Seeing the ads is seemed like an interesting premise that would be nearly impossible to pull off so I didn't bother looking into it any further.

Yes, very disappointing movie. I love Gervais, but so far his Hollywood endeavors have come up short.

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.
