I received and watched the Day of the Dead remake. Great stuff. I wouldn’t have minded paying to see it in the theaters (if it had actually gone to theaters).
Some nice references to the original, with plenty of action and a solid-enough story (given the plot). For a straight-to-DVD movie starring Mena Suvari, Nick Cannon, Ving Rhames, and that snooty-looking, sometimes-hot chick from Nip/Tuck and the new 90210, it was really pretty good.

X2. I knew of it, but I put off renting it for a long time due to the bad reviews (even though I’m pretty undiscerning when it comes to zombie flicks - I’ll watch 'em all), but it is definitely greater than the sum of its (body) parts.

Let Me In did it right. I enjoyed this just as much, if not more than the original, “Let The Right One In.” Awesome movie. [/quote]+

I think I’m gonna give True Romance another viewing tonight…Gary Oldman’s character is a pretty big transformation for him. Given the cast, it’s pretty surprising a lot of people have never heard of it, let alone seen it.[/quote]
My favorite movie of all time…it has everything in a movie you can want…plus floyd.

Hah! Floyd! Hells yeah! I hadn’t seen Brad Pitt in much before this film, so when I first saw it years ago, I actually though Pitt was a stoner.
I hear he did the role for free, but in order to do so he had to have creative freedom. Floyd as a stoner was Pitt’s idea.
Ended up buying restrepo so had a military movie night.
blackhawk down
hurt locker
retrepo
All pretty good movies. BHD is more of a action more, hurt locker contains more drama and then restrepo is a docu but the emotion in that movie is on another level. Kinda depressing and surreal.
started watching Full Metal Jacket but passed out. Hella R.Lee Ermey is real funny haha
Finally saw Bronson today. It was alright. I liked it, I just wish there was more of Bronson beating ass and acting batshit crazy and less attempts at making the whole film look like an ode to A Clockwork Orange.
Wicked awesome premise. Such an awful movie. Not only was it bad, it made me almost puke multiple times from motion-sickness. What a terrible turn for the writer that did Mrs. Doubtfire…
Rubber - a film about an intelligent tire (yes, tire) possessing psychokinetic powers that embarks on a journey of self-discovery; exploration of the world, killing wildlife (eventually humans) and discovering lust. All the while being watched by spectators with binoculars in the desert. Weird film based on the premise of things happening “for no reason”, which is actually even explained at the beginning of the film, as an apology of sorts for anyone who doesn’t get it.
I have no idea what I feel about the film, it was just that bizarre.
The Fighter - awesome film. Can’t believe it took me so long to watch but I actually had a tear at the end when Bale and Wahlberg were on the couch together looking over the journey. Fantastic story and stellar cast. Definitely worth more than one viewing.
