watched "Gran Torino" last night... could also be known as Ed Anger's Declining Years.

It's simply put:  the "Unforgiven" of Grumpy Old Men movies.

Amazingly good ending, but at the same time I would have liked to see a traditional Eastwood ending.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Watched Up in 3D.  A great movie.  Nobody tells stories better than Pixar nowadays.

Network.  Incredible film.  I highly recommend it.
Let's bomb Russia!

Palisadoes

Control.

Probably a mainly British thing, though the band (Joy Division) influenced a lot of other bands which had a lot of success in America and other places.

I'm listening to Disorder by them right now.

The Dark Knight.  Watching it again I'm ever more convinced that the heart of this film is Eckhart and Oldman :wub:
Indeed.  The longer I've been exposed to Bale as Batman, the less I like it.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Massive revelation when I first saw it maybe 6 months ago.  Wonderful.

Sophie Scholl

Land of the Lost because The Hangover was sold out. <_<  I guess it was ok.  It's typical Will Ferrell stuff more or less.  Some humorous stuff, but a lot of garbage.  I'll give it... 5 1/2 out of 10.

I love you, man.

It should be funny, but it wasn't my kind of humor. Boring.

:rolleyes: Don't be ridiculous. Ricardo Mountalban's Khan is one of the best villains of all time.

Why is he one of the best villains of all time?

I personally find the Wrath of Khan to be somewhat dull.
If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

I finally watched all of Dogma. Good movie, even though I've caught the ending 5 or 6 times on TV.

Life as a House.  About a dieing dude that decides to build his dream house with his estranged emo son.  Was just ok, but the first 5 minutes are totally lol as the son nearly dies trying to hang himself in the closet while jerking off.

That's with Hayden Christensen, right? Depressing movie; I also thought that this movie was Hayden's appluication letter for the role of emo Anakin.

I didn't notice that.  Who knew Anakin was a gay teenage prostitute?
