[The Larch]

Intolerable Cruelty is on.

Arguably my favorite George Clooney movie.

You prefer it to "O Brother!"?

Yes, I do.

Heh, I guess that the apparently cynic/romantic at heart theme goes well with you, right?

It is one of my all-time favorite love stories, if that's what you're saying.

Heh, I watched it with low expectations and was gratefully surprised by it.  Not the Coen's best, but pretty damn funny.

Oh man, the scene with the sassy French baron is pure gold.

Three Kings or Out of Sight are my favorites of Rosemary's nephew.

J Lo has never been able to act her way out of a paper bag.

If you throw in Good Night, and Good Luck I'll be on board.

Actually, in Mississippi, prosecutors can carry guns.

Most states will allow it.  And some even go along on forced entry warrants, for shits and giggles.

Actually, in MS, prosecutors can carry guns concealed, sans permit, and in the courtroom as well.

It's the south afterall, gotta protect oneselves from being lynched.

Law Abiding Citizen. Completely ludicrous, but highly entertaining cheesefest, with Gerard Butler as a sociopath with the patience of Job. Jamie Foxx is an earnest and completely self absorbed ADA who has no idea he's a giant douchebag. Butler teaches him some lessons. Stuff blows up real good in this movie. real good.

Nice supporting turn from the guy who played D-Day in Animal House.

Combo new/old school rating system 7.5 outta 10

I tried to enjoy it as a cheesefest, but I just couldn't get around the fact that prosecutor's DON'T CARRY GUNS and DON'T RUN AROUND INVESTIGATING CRIME SCENES!

No, no they don't. though to be fair, I think the point of that was that Foxx was off the reservation by that point anyways. They also entered buildings and did digging sans warrants (which would have been done by feds when they labelled buddy a terrorist.)

the guy would have been locked up in Guantanamo well before the climax in real life, anyways.

They need a permit to actually shoot people in the courtroom.

You guys are forgetting Michael Clayton.

And personally I think Ocean's Eleven is a very well made movie that will stand the test of time.

The Hurt Locker. It was quite good.

Of Mice and Men (1939)

Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney Jr. star as the luckless pair in this Lewis Milestone film.  The film is well done and brings both Steinbeck's stark realism and dialogue to the screen.  The film was made by the Hal Roach studio (best known for Our Gang and Laurel and Hardy shorts.)  Hal Roach later said that the film could have used more laughs.  Strangely enough the makers of the Warner Brothers shorts did see the humor in the film and milked Lon Chaney Jr.'s dumb guy speech pattern for all it was worth (which way did he go, George?  Which way did he go?)
