The Road- Barack Obama (played by Michael K. Williams) leads the U.S. into disaster. Years later, society has collapsed bands of homo-cannibals roam the countryside. One father and son must work together in order to survive, and to reaffirm hetreosexuality. It is one of the bleaker post-apocalyptic movies I have seen, but I enjoyed it.

..did we watch the same movie?

i felt it obvious that a very poignant and stylish homosexual relationship blossomed between the father and son amidst the backdrop of the post-apocalyptic earth. the rejection of the wife for the child provided symbolism for the dying human race. lovely film

Can't wait for this movie.  I loved the book, and this sounds just like it.  Obama's still a robot, right?

Saw Harry Brown.  I really like vigilante and revenge movies, so I enjoyed it.  Not as good as Gran Torino, but still great.

Nah, they went the alien route. My pal who saw the movie said he almost wet his pants when he saw Obama's tentacles.

My favorite Christmas movie, I only watch it during the TNT 24 hour marathon though.

I prefer Showgirls.

"Rules of Attraction". A pretty good "college sexuality" flick, but I think I liked "Wonder Boys" better.

"Wonder Boys" wasn't a "college sexuality" flick, you over-the-top fag.

The latest John Woo - Redcliff - looks stunning.  The chinese do know how to do grand scale epic visuals!  And bonus points for the movie being in mandarin.

Although after so many of this type in the last few years it's kind of ...  déjà vu.

Finally saw Star Trek.  Loved it, and kept thinking of the Onion video where the hard core Trekkie fans hated it because it was too entertaining

I may: buy the blu-ray this week, since I can get it for $15

I re-watched Terminator on Blu-ray, and while I can see some improvements over the DVD version, I wouldn't consider it a "must-have" unless you can get it for $5 like I did.

I was disappointed that we're only able to view the heavily cut version. In China Red Cliff is about an hour and a half longer, and is split into two full films.

I would still highly recommend it.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Brad Majors is definitely the Arthur P. Dent precursor.

Finally watched "Whatever Works" The latest Woody pic. Stars Larry David playing an even more unlikable (but somehow likable) asshole than he does on TV who lucks into a relationship with a young naive blonde. Very Olde School Woody without feeling Dated. It's not as good as Vicky Christina Barcelona (which is in the pantheon of great Woodys) but it's a very passable film. I also love that Woody has no need to make 2.5 hour long comedies. Patricia Clarkson is a hoot as the Mom of the gal Larry falls for.

While my girlfriend & her mother went to see the preteen fest that is Twilight #2.

I'm going to see it tonight.

So, I saw it a couple days ago.  Soundly Meh.

I didn't mind so much the first movie (although the body glitter did annoy me).  It was a basic monster/superhero/supernatural movie, where a big part of it is caught up in discovering the character is a vampire, what rules are used for vampies in this movie, and ending in a huge battle.  Standard enough fare.

But in #2 all that discovery is out of the way, and the movie has to rise and fall on its characters.  And they're pretty poor characters.  The girl Bella is moody and whiny 24/7.  Edward the vampire isn't in much of the movie, but is also moody and whiny.  The werewolf character is interesting enough, but why he's obsessed with this whiny bitch is never really explained.

And there's no real ending either, just a cliffhanger setting up the next movie.
