I remember that movie. good times.

[Commando]

this is kind of a movie...the series that is based off the book the pillars of earth (shot by showtime) is awesome. Available on netflix streaming.

Finally saw let the right one in.

Interesting fact I didnt "get" about that movie.

When Eli tells Oskar, "I am not a girl," she doesn't mean "I am a centuries old woman," or "I am a vampire,"

Spoiler for what she really means is:

"I am a boy. Eli is a castrated boy. In the scene where Oskar catches her dressing, her genitals show a scar. Although the scene is so quick, I doubt many people catch it. And the man who clumsily kills victims for Eli in the beginning of the movie is a pedophile who latches onto this supposed young boy.

KL, in reference to your spoiler, you may be interested to read this article comparing the film and the book from which it was adapted. It goes into detail about the point you mentioned. Interesting stuff.

Thx. That article explains a lot.

"Every Little Step"

It's a documentary (of sorts) about the re-staging of "A Chorus Line", which is about actorss/actresses and who they are. It's a great film, how it covers these people and their struggles/triumphs in trying out to portray a Broadway depiction of actors/actresses and their struggles/triumphs (life imitating art). Maybe there's some recency bias, but I saw similarities between it and "Black Swan".

I watched The Town last night. I remember being excited for the trailers for this movie, but then it came out, and some people at work watched it and said they didnt like it.

Redboxed it and was blown away. Jeremy Renner killed it in this movie, and I also really enjoyed the small role played by Pete Postlethwaite. Great story, awesome action sequences, fantastic ending. With this and Gone Baby Gone, Affleck is turning into a very competent director.

My wife loved this movie as well. Recommend you see it if you havent already.

Really? It was a major favorite around here. I loved it.

The Adjustment Bureau

Pretty cheesy and ridiculous at times, and not the best execution of its premise, yet I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be.

I expected a lot more and really did not like the movie.

Valhalla Rising

Totally confused and not sure what the point was, but I kinda liked it.

"Zelig" Woody Allen

And I thought I'd comment on "Babel". I watched that the other week amidst a lot of hype from one of my film nut friends. I was not into it.

The Adjustment Bureau

Pretty cheesy and ridiculous at times, and not the best execution of its premise, yet I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be.

I saw it as well. I thought it was about the same as most of the other Phillip K. Dick short story based movies (e.g. Paycheck, Minority Report, Total Recall, etc). Not as good as Minority Report and Blade Runner. About the same as Paycheck. So if you liked that one you might like this one as well.
