“8. The Manchurian Candidate - One word for this one: Disappointing. I lied, four more words: Neat concept, poor implementation.”

The remake is a poor attempt to…uhm, lets say: “modernize” — Yea, I think that’s the word I’ll use — the original `62 version w/ Frank Sinatra, Janet Leigh, Lawrence Harvey etc. etc. (netflix)

While this is not my chosen era of films, I could certainly stomach the original far easier than I did the remake.

Kim and I watch a ton of movies as well.

I should do a similar list up for the recent films we’ve seen. Juno will be one of those “want to see” movies. I’ve heard it’s amazing.

Also heard that “Cloverfield” is amazing as well. Time will tell, I refuse to go to the theater to see a movie I’m not 100% convinced will rock my socks (with the exception of Beer Fest… We went to see that on a whim, and I loved it. Kim hated it. Said she felt like she lost a few IQ points.

We have seen Resident Evil: Extinction too. I forgot about that one.

Sweeny Todd is on my list to see.

I haven’t heard much about Holllywoodland. I’ll have to look into that one.

I saw Identity some years ago but I can’t remember much about it. We actually walked out of Something’s Gotta Give after about 30 minutes.

The last film I saw was Hollywoodland, which was surprisingly good.

I caught Resident Evil: Extinction and AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem. AvPR was too dark but Resident Evil: Extiction was just as good as it’s predecessors.

The last 10 movies I watched are: Mr. Woodcock, Suburban Girl, Two Weeks, One Night at McCools, Continental Divide, Resident Evil: Extinction, I am Legend, Deck the Halls, Rush Hour 3, and The Heartbreak Kid. I really liked An American Haunting, I don’t scare easy but it gave me a chill.

I never get to see movies but I kind of liked Disturbia. I wouldn’t write home about it but I liked it.

I’ve heard Juno is good, too.

Juno is the best movie I have seen in ten years. Seriously.

Great list, I see a few I will see again this weekend!
