Easy A - Emma Stone stars in a movie that draws from classic lit. (The Scarlet Letter), John Hughes movies and gross-out comedies like American Pie and Superbad. Worth watching for the on PC/ off PC banter between Stone’s character and her family, but the twist, as comedies go, is even better.
I’ve been out with some friends and had some beers and steak. I only have this to say.
I will pretend this F*cker has only made 3 movies. American Pie, The Rundown and now this…
This movie has filled me with a respect for Canada I have not felt since slap shot!@!!!
^ Fucking awesome 460, have to agree on the slap shot also.

TIG!!!
I’m in!
Ya know what, I’m gonna give Hockey a try. I’ll raise my sons on shooting, hunting, kidnapping…I mean cooking, football, wrestling, and hockey.

That clip gave me goosebumps. I forgot just how good he was. He played someone else in somebody else’s body in every episode.

It’s not like either of them just disappeared. They went on to other projects. Bigger and um… better things.
Enterprise: 2 seasons out of 4 weren’t bad
Wrinkled old Dean Stockwell got to make out with Grace Park on Battlestar Galactica. I can think of worse ways to spend my sunset years.

No. They didn’t just disappear, but they didn’t get the breaks they deserved, either. Apart from stints on Enterprise (where most of the criticisms against Bakula’s acting come from) and BSG, how many other high-profile projects have they been involved in since Quantum Leap?
Not enough.
Source Code was decent, about what I expected from it.

Watched Source Code last night. I actually enjoyed it, pretty cool sci-fi really. Again I had drove 8 hours for a 2 hour interview yesterday so I may have been tired. :)[/quote]
Source Code was great. I caught it when it was first released and enjoyed it in spite of the running commentary from a couple in the row behind me. I’ve a hunch they just turned up and asked the usher to recommend a movie. It’s one I’ve been meaning to watch again on DVD.
Just found out there are plans to develop it into a TV series.[/quote]
Really? Wow, I am a sci-fi geek so I love shit like that and I thought the acting was pretty well done. Pretty cool concept.[/quote]
Yeah. The ending left the door open for doing something really special with the sequels, but it would work even better as a series. Duncan Jones is a director going places after this and Moon.[/quote]
I could see the TV series, a serious Quantum Leap. 
[/quote]
LOL - I take it that you caught the cameo…[/quote]
Well actually no I guess I didnt, Damn I hate to feel like I missed something.
My goofy kids the 18 and 19 year old watched it with us and they tend to yap at weird freaking times.
Who was the cameo? And for some reason due to the ending I just got that Quantum Leap vibe.[/quote]
First, I admit that I knew about it before I went in and would have missed it otherwise. I won’t call this a spoiler, b/c it isn’t really:
At one point, Gyllenhaal’s character talks to his father on the phone; Scott Bakula provides Daddy’s voice…Duncan Jones asked Bakula to play Stevens Sr. as a nod to the similarities between Source Code and Quantum Leap.
[/quote]
Yea no way I would have picked that up.
Speaking of Bakula why did he never spark a serious Movie career? I thought he had some decent acting ability. [/quote]
No idea. I’ve seen his acting get slated, but he wouldn’t have been able to carry a series like Quantum Leap if there was any truth to that. Every now and then I see him in an obscure post-Quantum Leap TV movie.
My best guess is that a lead in a successful TV series only became a springboard to leading movie roles after E.R (Clooney). [/quote]
I grew up watching Leap, loved that show. Bakula was a good straight guy in Necessary Roughness then he did that occult type movie dont remember name at the moment. Oh well, maybe he didnt want to do it who knows.

N. Rougness, one of my all-time fave movies
Bruno
Captain America
Went to see In Time.
Great concept, but ultimately disapointing, especially coming from the guy who did Gattaca.
It coud’ve been SO much better.
Man in the wilderness
Crazy Stupid Love - Awesome, Carrel plays a great every man, and Ryan Gosling was also very good. Very interesting twist and just excellent acting. Im a sucker for Marisa Tomei.
Youth in Revolt - Dark, funny and Michael Cera makes me fucking laugh my ass off. While he does play his usual nerdy role, nice little alter - ego bad ass as well.

That looks amazing.
I re-watched Identity this weekend. Twisted little flick. I liked it even though I’d seen it before and remembered how it ended about halfway through.
I was going to watch this movie but forget what it’s called… maybe someone here can help me out if I describe it?
It’s that M. Night Shyamalan movie where nothing is as it seems.
