Elise explaining shit... hey it's a horror movie, you're supposed to believe her, haha.

And yeah that soundtrack was a stellar one.

Watched End of the Line. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494224/ (Don't be fooled by the awful cover).

Surprisingly unsettling and disturbing little flick.

Impressive gore effects and some genuine scary scenes.

The opening scene made me jump like no other movie I can remember. And the baby scene...holy shit

Overall, one of the better horror movies I've seen in a long time.

8/10.

I haven't watched too many films as of lately, but I saw a couple this week.

Horrible Bosses - I actually enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. Granted, the story could have probably used some work but when you have an outstanding cast like this you let things like plot slide. It seemed as if everyone really enjoyed working on this film, especially the bosses since those characters were the most exaggerated and most outrageous. I have to say Charlie Day stole the film, which is no easy feat when you have Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis as co-stars. Day has a lot of character and spunk and I definitely want to see more of him.

Trois Coleurs: Blanc - Apparently this was supposed to be the funny one of the trilogy, which I didn't think was funny. At all. Krzyzstof Kieslowski must have had a fucked up sense of humor to even advertise it as a comedy. Despite that, I liked the film. Not as strong as Bleu but it definitely had character. My one complaint about Kieslowski is the heavy handed use of symbolism in his films. I love symbolism as much as the next person, but I don't want to be constantly hit over the head with it. A little goes a long way. Just because you put lots of symbolism in your film doesn't make you a genius.

Horrible Bosses is easily my favorite comedy that's come out this year. Agreed that Charlie stole the show, he just can't do anything wrong. And Sudeikis had so many great lines. The chemistry between the 3 main characters was outstanding. As was the small appearances by Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.

Cowboys and Aliens is terrible. Such a waste of Sam Rockwell.

Captain America was above average. My mental notes from seeing it last night:

- Chris Evans ain't too shabby in this role.
- Why doesn't Tommy Lee Jones get more work?
- My god this Hayley Atwell is really sexy.
- When is this bail bonds montage going to end?
- At least the Red Skull looks better than that 80s version I remember seeing.
- That was a painfully unnecessary 15 minute montage of Capt America pwning Nazis
- Jesus, Hayley Atwell has such glorious melons.

I saw Trois Coleurs: Rouge last night. Many people think Blanc is the weakest in the trilogy, however I feel as if Rouge was the weakest film. I didn't have a lot of compassion for these characters, while for the other two films in the trilogy I did have a lot of compassion for them. Shot beautifully, however once again the viewer is bombarded with way too much fucking symbolism. Krzystof Kieslowski knew how to make beautiful films, but his way of making his films thought provoking just proves that a movie can be overworked and tiring for the viewer. Kieslowski is an overrated director at best.

watched date night and death at a funeral (american version).

date night was funny purely because of steve carrell and tina fey chemistry. i loved all the scenes in that snotty seafood restaurant. the white cop was very hot.

death at a funeral was as funny as i thought it would be. tracey morgan...thank god such a man exists.

Captain America 8/10

Weaving did a fantastic job as Red Skull.

[bright lights, big city]

watched date night and death at a funeral (american version).

death at a funeral was as funny as i thought it would be. tracey morgan...thank god such a man exists.

this is probably the first movie I think of when supporting the "don't remake movies" movement. even though Morgan is in it.

[blixa]

watched nowhere. araki never disappoints me. what the fuck happened to nathan bexton???

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Source Code  9/10

Powerful as shit !!!! What a great movie and Michelle Monaghan  is such a hottie.

[ben]

The Housemaid.  7/10, just based on style.  End is stupid, yes, story has been done hundred times (it is a remake as well)...but very very well shot.

I just watched American Movie. I never heard of this film until a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed it a whole bunch. Such a great gallery of personalities.

American Movie - A Theatrical Mockery

Aliens (1986)

Boondock Saints II

worst film I've seen in a long time.

[lukas989]

I see Michelle Williams bagged the Marilyn Monroe role in the upcoming My Week with Marilyn - if my senses are correct and this goes on to be a big box office winner, heartily deserved.  I havent seen a film with her in that hasnt been ace.  Just watched Lars and the Real Girl there the other day - continuing my Ryan Gosling-fest.  A strange idea for a film I must say - but Ive never been one to let inhibitions get in the way, and as a result enjoyed a lot.
