Re: Good films..
Nicholas Cage? I'm not seeing him as associated with that movie. Of course, I absolutely despise Nicholas Cage, so him not being in that movie is a plus. The trailer was... wtf... I'm not going to be going to the theater to see this one. Maybe a renter.

Re: Good films..
Well, perhaps we will see. Zombieland was a great movie, but I wouldn't have thought so prior to actually seeing it. Perhaps this is cast in a similar mold.

Re: Good films..
I want to see Clash of the Titans but my friends are all going "meeh looks really stupid" because they're intellectuals who can't enjoy their primal side anymore.

Re: Good films..
Losers lol. I'd love to see that too. And Robin Hood looks quite good. And Prince of Persia. And How to Tame a Dragon!

Re: Good films..
Sounds like they're a bunch of posers that pretend to be too intelligent to publicly indulge their baser natures. I bet they have secret weekend sessions with Christina Aguilara videos and a jar of mayonnaise

Re: Good films..
I watched the movies on both of my flights this weekend. One was The Blind Side. Hmm, while yes it is sad it lacked substance. Who hasn't seen a movie where the parent doesn't give a shit about a kid before or a kid who everyone thinks is dumb but is really not, just no person took interest in the kid before. I dunno, I get tired of the same thing again and again.
The other movie I watched was Everybody's Fine. This actually was not a great movie, but it made me feel more for Robert Deniros character than the other movie. I think it did a very good job showing how alone he was feeling and how he was just trying to change how he had been all his life. I took away from this that you shouldn't try to help a bum, and that you can always change who you are if you want to. I'd only give it like 3 stars our of 5 though. Maybe 2.5.

Re: Good films..
heh, yea, there are some movies that I just know will be complete and utter garbage. Like Hollywood 'tearjerker' movies for the most part. Bah. But I can get into a good, violent movie every once in a while. Though GI Joe looked so bad from teh little bit I watched that I had no inclination to see the whole movie. Zomg retarded. There's a limit, even for me.

Re: Good films..
Haha, and it was retarded, actually. Mostly for one reason: the awful, awful and very contrived romance subplot between Marlon Wayans and a very serious GI Joe chick. I mean, I've seen some bad romance writing/acting in my day but that one took the cake. So cheesy that you started wondering if they were taking the piss. But like I said, I won the tickets in an online contest so I didn't mind too much. Probably would have felt less thrilled if I had spent 10 € on it. I once had an ex explain the basic plot of the romantic movie "P.S. I Love You" to me. The way she explained it to me the guy in the couple died from a disease early on and then (I assume through video and letters and whatnot) guided and supported his widow from beyond the grave, even helped her find a new man. ... I mean...what?!

Re: Good films..
yea, not so big on the contrived plots. Like various mystery/thriller movies and such where the killer magically knows everything that his trackers are going to do, regardless of how nonsensical and convoluted.
