Not a fan of the ending either. The scene with Doogie Howser getting offed was too graphic for my taste. Overall, a thumbs up.

It might have been graphic, but holy [expletive] was it memorable.

Heard an interview with Dustin Hoffman last year and apparently he refused to take parts that involved guns. I'm sure there's something out there, but I tried the think of a movie where he actually held one and couldn't do it.

Aaaaand, of course this exists:

So there's a few, but not very many considering his contemporaries. Forgot about Straw Dogs and Hook. Never did see Marathon Man, which I just never got around to.

You ought to see Marathon Man just for Sir Laurence Olivier as der Weisse Engel.

This male ghostbusters thing is weird. Are movies like public restrooms now?

Just saw Birdman 2 days ago. Definitely a great movie but had its moments of pretentiousness.

this quote popped in my head while showering and i couldn't stop laughing

Lt. Frank Drebin: Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.

Ed Hocken: Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.

Nordberg: I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.

Lt. Frank Drebin: No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.

Ed Hocken: He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.

Nordberg: Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.

Lt. Frank Drebin: North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.

Ed Hocken: You sure know your boxing.

Lt. Frank Drebin: All I know is never bet on the white guy.

Housebound is a lot of fun- part haunted house/horror, part twisty/turny mystery without ever taking itself seriously, part comedy. Well worth the watch, streaming on Netflix.

Checked out a movie over the weekend called Faults after seeing an advertisement for "OnDemand" movies on Comcast.

It caught my attention because they tagged it with the "From the people who brought you You're Next and The Guest". I did some research and can't any connection between the movies/directors or anything. The only connection is one actor, who has somewhat of a small roll. That may not have been the exact wording, but they definitely associated it with Youre Next and The Guest.

Anyway, the move was pretty good if you're into total mind[expletives]. If you liked Compliance, you'll like this one.
