I liked it. I'd recommend it even if you're not into Woody Allen but I don't ever need to see it again.[/quote]

Haha - I'm a bigger Allen fan than you in general, but I agree with your opinion. It's clearly indulgent as all hell, but I'm a sucker for Allen so that didn't bother me in the slightest. And I also went in without knowing the premise at all, so when:

[SHOW]

I realized that Owen Wilson was actually meeting that F. Scott Fitzgerald

I quietly muttered "Oh no way" and had a huge grin on my face, which didn't go away for a long time. Most fun Woody Allen movie in I don't know how long.[/quote]

agree with above. i also felt like it was a display of allen feeling his age and confronting his mortality

[cpebbles]

Wow, that looks terrible.

But BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF THE THREAD, Horrible Bosses was good but not great. Everyone nails their roll, the premise is solid, but it just isn't funny enough to be a classic comedy. Probably the funniest movie I'll see this year, but it's not going to be the new Hangover (Smash hit) and it's not going to be the new Big Lebowski (Cult classic), or anywhere particularly close to either of those.

Very much enjoyed The King's Speech.

You haven't seen Bridesmaids have you?

watched "dead ringers". jeremy irons was [expletive] amazing. got that cronenberg feel but not as "intense" as i was expecting. interesting story with great acting.

3/5

[Jocephus]

apparently the are re-making "evil dead" with, from what i can tell, campbell and raimi's support/involvement. and apparently diablo cody is writing revisions to the first draft.

not sure what to think. if campbell is in it and raimi directs i'll definitely see it/be interested...

Up in the Air. I was surprised at how not good it was. Really not good.

wha - Secret Weapon cameo couldn't salvage it?

From what I recall, the first 20 minutes or so was decent, then... then?... , very forgettable.

[clevername]

it was worth it for Vera Farmiga's body double.

Regarding Up in the Air,

[SHOW]

I expected they'd break up, and even wondered if maybe she had a husband. But man,I still really felt for the guy. I really like Clooney, so I'm biased.

Yeah, I got pretty bored for much of the movie, but it seemed like a well-crafted drama. I just don't really get into movies like that.
