    Cowboys and Aliens - f*cking terrible
    Horrible Bosses - "meh" (it was maybe slightly better than that, but not much)
    I kinda liked Cowboys & Aliens, even if I would never watch it again. It was OK, I probably had my hopes up too high after seeing previews. I didn't think it was terrible, though.

    Horrible Bosses had some snickers, but yeah....more eye-rolling. Like Jennifer Aniston can't get anyone to f**k her brains out.

      Real Steel might be on of the worst movies I've ever seen among movies that got moderately good reviews. From start to finish this was complete and utter dross ... I can't even remember if I finished it. Think of any negative adjective, and it will easily apply to this one.

      I was reading a book while watching Cowboys... didn't reckon I was missing much when I occasionally looked up. In fact, I only remember paying attention when Olivia Wilde was on screen, in the hope she might re-robe.

      I really enjoyed Horrible Bosses, and quite liked In Time also ... even though to was a bit preposterous.

          aside from some very hot bits with jennifer aniston, and a few funny bits, i also thought Horrible Bosses was "meh." i had heard it compared to The Hangover, but it was nowhere near as good as that (nor was The Hangover II, which was mostly also "meh").

          but i could see those jennifer aniston scenes over and over.

            Saw the first half hour of this before the family invaded one Sunday ... kept meaning to go back and finish it.

                Did you watch it on VHS or Beta?

                  Netflix, so nyah. Our VCR player now destroys VHS tapes, so we're stuck with Netflix or DVD.

                    Philippe Petit

                    Looking in Wikipedia, the closest I could find on Wallenda was when he died trying to walk "between the two towers of the 10-story Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico". Petit made 8 trips back and forth between the World Trade Center towers, 110 stories up.

                        • I watched Too Big to Fail on HBO the other night. I really enjoyed it. Again, I loved the West Wing so these sort of dialogue driven behind the scenes things always interest me and I thought this was pretty well done. I have not read the book, but it I liked it.

                              Watched this on the last hockey team bus ride last weekend... All the kids had obviously seen it before and loved it and TW nailed it with his brief synopsis. I have to admit it was an engaging movie. And most MMA movies we suffer thru on the bus are insipid. Warrior was good...

                              Guaranteed we watch on the bus ride down to our playoff opponent's rink this Saturday as well...

                                Aye. A big-screen must-see.
