Slumdog Millionaire. Easily the best feel-good movie of 2008.

I just didn't get why Latika should be so instantly enfatuated with Jamal.

Yeah, yeah, "it is written" and all that, but still.

Still, a fantastic Western-style Bollywood flick. The Bollywood dance routine at the end made half the audience sway to their music which I don't think I've ever seen before.

Just watched There Will Be Blood again. Still my favorite movie of the decade so far.

Very good movie, even if totally different from the book it's based on, both in focus, plot, scope and overall message.

Ben Stiller: "If I shot your Mommy in the face, would that make you laugh? Do you think it would be funny? Huh? If I blew your mother's face of right now in front of you would that make you laugh?"  :D

Extras is great, and actually it gets better. The Ben Stiller one is so-so. Wait till you get to Kate Winslet, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. I was pretty much rolling on the floor laughing. :P

I didn't get There Will Be Blood either (what I saw of it).

Saw State and Main.  Movie crew goes to a small Vermont town for a location shoot.  Mostly very good parody of Hollywood personalities.  The bald guy who played a weasel in Quiz Show does a very good weasel here.  William H. Macey is good as the pushy, manipulative director.  Unfortunately the heart of the movie is about the writer (that guy in Scippy's avatar) and it's kind of lame.  Love interest is the chick with the big eyebrows who was in The Baldwin Boy.

Hey Hose, is Eyebrows English or American?

You mean Winslow boy? That is Rebecca Pidgeon if so, and from Mass and married to David Mamet (the writer/director) of State and Main
Ackshually, she's Scottish.

Well you are more right in sofar as she grew up in Scotland, but she was born in US while here parents were here :p So she has dual nationality.

Watchmen. It was pretty good for a superhero movie. Certainly better than the steaming pile of poo that was Batman Begins (haven't seen Dark Knight).

Watch Dark Knight. Then go back and watch Batman Begins, it will be better the second time around.

While it is likely that I will watch Dark Knight there is no chance in hell that I watch Batman Begins again. Its puerile silliness doesn't do it for me.

Watchmen and that was awesome to the extreme.

And Pineapple Express which was only kind of funny

Never read the Sinclair novel it was loosely based one. I don't imagine the line "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!" is in it.  ;D
