I bought three movies (buy 2 get one free used from work, whee), but I haven't watched them yet.

Citizen Kane, Collateral, and American Splender.

I really wanted to see Citizen Kane, I kinda wanted to see Collateral, and I really wanted to see American Splender but I remember a few of you guys said it sucked, but it was free, so I "bought" it anyways.

As soon as I get a few free hours I'm going to watch 'em. But right now I need to go to sleep.

Oh I did see Corpse Bride a while back. It was fun and silly and cute in a Nightmare Before Christmas kind of way, but Deacon you were kind of right, some of the music wasn't up to Danny Elfman par. It was still cool, but not nearly as memorable as his usual stuff. Worth seeing, but not nearly as awesome as Nightmare. Not by a long shot.

It seems like ever since Tim Burton got John August to write his movies (well, I guess it started with Planet of the Apes before it), they haven't been accepted as well. I wonder if Burton just really likes August's stuff, or what, because it seems like the obvious thing to do would be to try writing your own movie again and see what happens.

American Splendor was alright but kind of boring.

But also keep in mind that I thought it'd be a lot more about the comic itself than the life of the guy who made the comic.  So maybe you won't think it was boring if you're not expecting that.

I watched Collateral.

A few parts were goofy and weird with some crappy music, but all in all it was really good. yeah, its a suspense/thriller/murder type movie, which is like the most common movie ever made, but it never really falls into any stupid cliche stuff. I liked it. And Tom Cruise as an old hit man? Awesome.

Saw II is pretty dumb.  See it if you want to see a few people get hurt and die in gross ways.

Monster's Ball is pretty good.  See it if you want to see Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton having explicit sex.  Or a character study/drama type thing.

i watched the naruuto movie last night

Oh yeah, Stay also stars Ewan McGregor, so for Deacon there's a reason to see it.

I saw The Descent.  It's about this group of women that go spelunking and Bad Shit Happens™.  It's actually pretty scary, and nervewracking.  I can't think of another movie which was able to consistently scare me.  So, I'd have to say it's a pretty excellent movie, for what it is.

Jamie Foxx maybe.

Speaking of MacGregor, I finally saw Big Fish after owning it for like half a year.  I don't know why I put it off so long.  It's not like I thought it'd suck, it's like the opposite.  When I know a movie is going to be good sometimes I just keep putting off seeing it forever.  I still haven't seen RotK EE yet.  There's something wrong with me.

Oh and it was good, but I think everyone else already saw it/knows that, so hey.

I saw Lord of War.  It was kinda depressing.  And also kinda annoying.  It almost felt like watching a book on tape or something, there must've been only 20 minutes total which had no narration.  But I guess it was a pretty good movie.

i just saw harry potter and just friends... exceltent movies

The fourth one is the one out in theaters right now?

I just watched the Family Guy movie and I must say... It kinda sucked. It definately had its moments (there were about 4 or 5 times that I laughed really really hard), but other than that it was really kinda boring. I think the reason it was so "eh" to me was it was all about Stewie, who is by far the lamest character on the show. So... I dunno. I guess its worth watching because the funny parts were so funny, but everything else was just... lame.

Yeah I thought I was like, missing 20 minutes of the movie at the end of Goblet of Fire.  I think because the story was so thin, there's nothing to resolve at the end.  The harry potter World Cup triwizard competition thing doesn't matter because everyone died and evilwhatshisname tried to attack harry but lost and then the end.?  I hate this movie.  Why is the majority of the story based around some competition I don't give a crap about?  It reminds me of Final Fantasy X.  I kept thinking "ok so the story starts off with this tournament thing but then it will pick up later!" but then the only other thing that happened was a 5 minute scene where Harry doesn't get killed by whatshisname.  Why do I even care so much, it's god damn Harry Potter!

See I figured if I knew who Voldemort was I'd care more about that last scene, but apparently not.


I liked the guy with the eyeball though.  But I think it's not so much that the story sucked as much as it sucked for going nowhere.  If it went from that last scene after getting the teleportation cup thing into a much larger story it'd have been better.  But it'd probably take four hours so whatever.
