Horrible Bosses.

I think others have expressed the same views. Quite a few chuckles, but not side-splitting comedy. Dubs would definitely fall asleep. Probably a "40 minutes" on the DubScale.

I stayed awake for this one although I wasn't too amused. I saw it back during the summer when I took a few months off from work and not getting up at 330am every morning. I'm thinking about going to see (sleep through) The Descendants tomorrow night, it looks peaceful.

Saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Red Tails recently.

The former: Very well done. They took some liberties but nothing too egregious. Oldman did about as good as anyone could stepping into the Smiley role. I was much less impressed with Colin Firth as Bill Haydon. He just didn't bring the panache to the role that Richardson did in the BBS series. Overall, a great movie....if you haven't seen the 6 hour BBC series with Alec Guinness and Miranda Richardson's father. I'm looking forward to The Honorable Schoolboy and Smiley's People down the road.

The latter: Stephanie nailed it--the movie epitomizes the difference between Lucas and Spielberg. I was expecting something along the lines of Private Ryan or The Pacific. Instead, it was overly melodramatic and full of obvious emotional hooks. This should have been a story told by Spielberg and Hanks. CGI was pretty impressive though.

Watched this over the weekend. It was just OK, but kind of slow for me. I am not a big fan of politics and all of the crap that goes on behind the scenes to begin with, so that is probably why I didn't like it as well as others may. Good acting all around, though (love Giamatti in almost everything he does, great character actor).

I'm a political science major and have worked on a few campaigns and I found the ending to be silly. I do agree that the acting was very good, especially Hoffman and Giamatti.

Forgot how dumb this was.

James Stewart can be corny sometimes, but overall he's pretty good. One of the best aviation movies out there.

All these old Hollywood movies that so totally misrepresented the real people they portrayed are a bit hard to take. (Just caught the end of Sunrise at Campabello yesterday on TCM--Greer Garson as Eleanor Roosevelt--ayfkm!)

I saw Spirit when I was very young. It was quite a few years before I adjusted my mental construct of Charles Lindbergh so that it wasn't a clone of Jimmy Stewart.

The Grey-The first 30 minutes were kind of boring and I nodded off. I woke up towards the end a bit confused, I thought that I was at home watching a bad movie on the SCi-FY network. I was kind of bummed to remember that I'd payed to see this. It was horrible. Whatever happened to Liam Neeson? He was a pretty good actor at one time. Nowadays he seems to play the same character over and over.

You can say that about A LOT of actors now-a-days.

Some genuinely creepy moments. Loses momentum towards the end and falls prey to a common scary movie problem...too much of the ghost/demon/etc. on camera. Especially when you're trying so hard to make it look like a ghost/demon/etc.

Night of the Hunter (1955): It was a pretty good movie, Robert Mitchum always played a good villain, a great one really, and a young Peter Graves, Shelly Winters (which is kinda funny to see for those whose first exposure to her were Nana Mary on Roseanne), and Lilian Gish rounded out a nice cast. The ending sucked, but that is often the case for 50s movies when Directors were almost forced to make them way too black and white the bad guy lost type of thing. The kids did a pretty good job of acting too. 3-3.5/5, somewhere in there.

Last Lullaby- Basic hitman movie. Very predictable. Not much suspense or action, but I made it through the whole through the whole thing.

Unknown- Liam Neeson at it again. This was much more entertaining and suspenseful. Really liked it.
