Norton was so good. Why is he doing shit movies??
WAS? This is subjective,but Norton makes shit movies worth watching.
Oh I mean “was so good in this movie.” He is still a great actor, just wtf at The Incredible Hulk and Pride and Glory (admittedly I have not seen the latter, but from what I’ve heard…)[/quote]
If those movies are his worst…it should say something. Pride and Glory was actually pretty good,imo…its worth a watch.
Crank 2. Pretty all around “over the top”. Hard to explain just how crazy this movie is. Good mix of Action, weirdness, and Comedy though.
The Spirit - sucked.
Traitor - Very good.
The Wrestler - Real good.
State of Play - Good,…but not great.

I couldn’t figure out if the writers knew it sucked when they finished writing it…or if we were all expected to be on a specific type of mushroom so that we all got it too.
The Departed, and probably will watch Pinapple Express later today
My Name Is Bruce- Bruce Campbell playing Bruce Campbell and doing Bruce Campbell type things. It was an awesome bad movie.
JCVD - Van Damme playing Van Damme. This was a really surprising, well-made movie. JCVD plays himself, an aging action movie star who has just lost custody of his daughter. He returns to Brussels, tired, down-on-his luck and pretty much broke. He accidentally stumbles into a robbery and hostage-taking. The cops think that he’s the perpetrator and the story unfolds from there.
What was most surprising is that Van Damme can act. He has always played a two-dimensional larger-than life hero, with no real nuance in his roles. The movie has some scenes of profound introspection and emotion, as he examines his life.
In French with English subtitles.
Chinatown - Incest is cool. I guess. But seriously this was really good. Nicholson is a weird looking fucker.
The Godfather - Not the greatest movie of all time. I have to differ with Kubrick there. But still good. Brando owns.
The Shawshank Redemption - I can’t believe I never watched this before. Great movie! Morgan Freeman is always awesome!
What Doesn’t Kill You - Good movie starring Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke, who are both actors that normally annoy me, but didn’t in this movie. I thought it was a good story and well acted.
While She Was Out - A cross of a Lifetime movie and a Final Destination flick. The first mistake this movie made was to cast Lucas Hass has a tough guy and leader of a gang. Like anyone on the planet would be afraid of that guy. Anyway, Kim Basinger watches them kill somebody and then they proceed to chase her around for an hour and she manages to kill them all off one-by-one in totally ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious ways.
Bride Wars - Yeah, I actually watched it. Stupid ass movie. The premise alone is retarded because it’s not something that would ever happen in the first place. Then, two friends that have been best friends for like 20 years decide that it would be better to ruin their friendship and each other’s weddings than to have a 10 minute conversation that would have solved everything. They should have called this movie Women Are Catty Bitches When It Comes To Weddings.
Notorious - Wasn’t bad. I don’t listen to a lot of Rap, so I never really followed what was going on with these guys. I thought it was okay, but the movie seemed kid of run of the mill for as big as these guys were at the time. Lackluster. My other comment, is it just me or did the actors they get to play Puffy and Tupac look nothing like the actual people?
The Wrestler - I loved this. It’s kind of depressing actually, but I thought it was a good story and really well acted by everyone. I think that Rourke was robbed here. I thought his performance was better that Sean Penn’s in Milk.
Once - Good movie. Kind of got boring for me in the middle, but still good overall.
Frost/Nixon - I thought this was really good, too. Well acted and was compelling, but a little long.

Shawshank is classic man, glad you enjoyed it.
The Wrestler was the best movie of last year (maybe tied with Synecdoche New York). Why the fuck wasn’t it nominated? Oh yeah, their total budget was $1 mil. Rourke was robbed, and that’s coming from a major Penn fan.
Frost/Nixon was not worthy of the nomination it received. Langella was great, and for a story about interviews it was very compelling… but at the end don’t you just ask yourself, “Who the fuck cares?”
I just watched The Mist. I don’t really know what to say, it’s a horror movie. It’s Stephen King. I thought it was very well done, and it’s unfortunate it didn’t make big at the box office. I’m writing this just as the credits are now rolling. I’ve never had a movie do this to me before, but I feel like vomiting.
I wish I could explain as to why I feel that way, however you will have to see it for yourself to fully understand. It’s not that it’s gory, or anything like that. It’s just… I don’t even have words for it, but it totally ripped me apart inside on a level like no other movie ever has in the past, or possibly ever will.
Fuck sakes…

I think, perhaps, you’re refering to the last scene? Are you going through an emotionally traumatic period in your life? Maybe you have some underlying issues? I’m not saying any of this in a negative way either.
Burn after reading:
Brad Pitt was great as a personal trainer. I did kind of feel at the end though “what was the point?”. The characters werent as funny as “the big lewbowski”.

Dude, its all about Sonny, Jimmy Caan is a bad ass.
I somehow just watched “The Lady Killers” on BET.
It didnt suck, and that is by far the longest period of time I have ever watched BET

Sonny was pimp in the movie, no question. Especially when punishing the wifebeater.

One of my favorite scenes ever, hands down.
I might have to start that bad boy up just to see that scene.
Man, James Caan is the shit, if you ever watch Las Vegas, there are 2 Sonny Corleone references during the series.
and by reference, i mean they flat out talk about the characted, twice.

I’m hanging out with some friends after work yesterday and they ask me what I’ve watched this week and I mentioned that I saw Shawshank for the first time and they all looked at me like I was nuts. “How is it that you have never seen this?” You know how it goes, it was just one of those movies I never got around seeing. I’m glad I finally did though. It really was worth it! I love when you watch a movie like that and just feel satisfied after.
I actually went into The Wrestler thinking it was going to be overrated, but definitely did not feel that way after watching it. I think it deserved all the accolades it got, and more. I stand by that Rourke was robbed.
grizzly man - i found it to be kind of upsetting.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past- I liked it. Worthy of going to the theater for
Finally got around to seeing the Wrestler. Kind of sad, but in the end he really got what he wanted.

On the weekend that Wolverine came out, you went and saw “The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” ?
Man, what did you do to piss off your girlfriend that much ?
