    You are right a really bad movie - But it was so bad it started to make me laugh. WHile i will never watch it again I did find myself laughing at the movie not with it[/QUOTE]

    I was expecting it to be very bad. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I found myself laughing.

    In perspective I thought that this was twice as funny as Dumb and Dumber.

      If you go in with low expectations, then this movie will meet or exceed them. Not awful but certainly not a classic either and yes, Eva Mendes is likely the best thing about this movie.

          Which worked well as Revo was able to really develop his erotic fantasies about George Clooney... NTTAWWT

            You have to admit, he is pretty hunky.

              was bored last night so I went to see The Green Hornet. I expected it to be bad, but I didn't expect it to be nearly as annoying as it was. Seth Rogan was not sympathetic in the least and I was rooting for him to get hurt/killed for a good part of the movie. Not even slightly exceelent.

                No you are wrong, it was slower than that.

                  You're right, it was. I couldn't believe it took half the movie, about one hour, to just build the damned gun. The movie would've been great if they went from the opening scene to the final scene, and cut out the 90 minutes in between.

                    Agree that it was very slow, but I actually loved the whole building of the gun sequence. Especially the way he built the silencer. Pretty sweet.

                    I think I have a fair amount of patience as a viewer, but my limit was tested with The American. Not a terrible film, just slow.

                      Yeah, I didn't think it was terrible -- the story was actually quite good. But the director went way overboard with the film noir and the spaghetti western emphasis and lost the whole movie.

                        just saw Machete -- a naked Lindsay Lohan; a naked Jessica Alba; a scantily clad Michelle Rodriguez; Don Johnson; Cheech Marin; Steven Seagal; Robert DeNiro; gatling guns on low riders; decapitations; senseless violence; it's total 70s B-movie heaven.

                          Saw a really good little indy film today, Whip It. Here's the netflix description...

                          Escaping her smothering mother's (Marcia Gay Harden) beauty pageant plans for her, small-town Texas teen Bliss (Ellen Page) joins an all-girl roller derby team in Austin and begins living a thrilling double life as Babe Ruthless -- a life that might catch up with her. Drew Barrymore makes her directorial debut and plays fellow teammate Smashley Simpson in this smart coming-of-age tale. Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Eve and Jimmy Fallon co-star.
                          Just a really good movie, nothing that will change your life, but a good cast and a tight script.

                            i'm sure this was covered in the old thread, but i just watched _Inception_ for the first time, and really liked it. the timing was a bit off between the levels, but still very good.

                            interesting thing about _Despicable Me_, i liked it, my wife and kids didn't like it at all. ah well, no accounting for taste!

                            another that was probably in the old thread is _There Will Be Blood_. just saw it a couple of weeks ago on dish. exceelent indeed...

                                Took an eHarmony date to see Black Swan. I thought it was fantastic. She hated it. She actually left her seat while Natalie Portman was getting her box eaten by that hot chick from That 70's Show.

                                I'm not seeing her again.
