Forgot to mention this one - did anyone see Underworld:Rise of the Lycans? Kind of a guilty pleasure, since I rip on vampire movies a lot. To me it was easily the best of the three. None of the messy subplots from the first two, just a straightforward vampires vs werewolves action movie.

it has rhona mitra in it right?

That's the one.



Quoting JL's post since I feel bad for bumping ahead of it:

I loved Steamboat Bill Jr., or at least, loved the last half hour of it, even if the earlier stuff isn't as high quality. If that's so low on your list, that other stuff must be [expletive] awesome.

I need to give a 2nd try. It was the 2nd one I watched and IIRC, I wasn't exactly in the mood to watch it. I'm probably being needlessly harsh on it.

This doesn't even begin to do the whole sequence justice, from Seven Chances, because it's missing the whole set-up. Those are all women that he inadvertently jilted, literally, at the altar, chasing him. I think it'll give you a tiny taste of the awesomenocity:

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.

Ok, so you don't have a problem with a guy presenting stories as fact that range from stretching the truth to outright lies. This same guy has become a D-list celebrity with a fanbase, book deal and now a movie based on crap. I happen to have a problem with that.

I read it for what it was, a bunch of fabricated drunk stories, the kinds of which most of told our friends after a night of debauchery. No, I don't have a problem with it at all...

Then you have the proper mindset. There's a lot of people that don't and idolize this guy when he's pretty clearly a fraud.

Whatever Works- I haven't watched a lot of Woody Allen movies so I can't comment on where this ranks for him. But the movie is pretty classic Larry David, so if you dig him you'll enjoy the movie. 7/10

TCM played a bunch of the old Bing Crosby and Bob Hope "Road to..." movies last night.
I ended up watching almost all of 3 of them: "Road to Singapore" "Road to Zanzibar" and
the best, "Road to Morocco".. man those guys were funny together. Their jokes are dirty
and hilarious and it's amazing that they simply adlibbed all of those movies.

If Kate isn't in it it can't be the best, but I still want to see it.

I just saw Step Brothers last night. There was some funny [expletive] in that movie. Overall not bad, my wife hated it because of all the f-bombs. Good thing she wasn't home to see the tea bagging of the drum set.

I just saw 'Up in the Air.' It was real good, but not exceptional IMO. Clooney was excellent. I never want to like him and I always do. It took a little while to become what it was and get going for me. Overall it was interesting and entertaining.

My new hobby is counting production companies in the opening credits. 'Up in the Air' ties the record with six.

I don't know much about this movie, but this clip is priceless:
