Even buttered ones.

Just got done watching 3:10 to Yuma it was at least a thousand times better that Max Payne.

Such inappropriate behavior for the straight-laced Vito Corleone.

My brother and his wife stopped at my parent's house and said that they were going to see "Last Tango in Paris" that night. My mother said that she couldn't believe that they were going to see that "filthy movie". Guess who my brother ran into at the theater that night? My parents!

We just watched "Zombieland" with Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. It was pretty funny. You need to have a bit of a sick sense of humor to enjoy it, but if you do, watch it.

saw that last weekend, and i loved it...really funny, and i cant wait for the sequel

They're doing a sequel? I hadn't heard that. I hope it's as good as the first.

Hey those are rules I live by at work

-don't be a hero
-double tap
-beware of bathrooms
-always know where the exits are

And #1 - Cardio! The movie was very funny, but you do have to have somewhat of a twisted sense to really enjoy it.

idk how theya great would screw it up if they keep all the stars, director, and everybody else. also too the concept is too good to not do a sequel.

Just watched the remake of "The Stepfather". It was ok. I didn't really remember the original so I couldn't say if it was overly derivative or not. It did require a lot of leaps of logic. Nobody can just float into jobs and houses without some sort of background checks.

So a lot of what the titular character was doing required really desperate or really stupid women characters, which wasn't good. Other than that it was a decent thriller. I would have been upset if I had paid to see it in the theater.

There have been several "Stepfather" movies in the series, with a Terry somebody in the title role. It isn't really a bad idea, but you're right, how many different identities can this guy have? It is a good rental on a Friday or Saturday night if you're in the mood for a scary movie.

Muriel's Wedding. I hadn't seen it in years, but I watched it tonight. Abba is the soundtrack and I love Abba. It's a feel good movie although it has its share of pathos and it takes place in Australia. If you have the opportunity, give it a look

Just finished watching 'Bronson'. It's based on England's most notorious Inmate, who likes to go by the name "Charles Bronson". Basically a nutter, who loves to get into constant fights and hold people hostage for ridiculous demands etc. Enjoyable viewing.

I wanted to see "Bronson" but the video store only had one copy and it was out. Maybe next week.

Video stores still exist (and they have customers)???

Some people are just unreservedly old school.
But the video store is closing down in 4-6 weeks...

I do have membership to Hollywood Video, but I think I've been there twice and that was a few years ago to rent the "24" series. It does seem they are getting a little passe'.

Gosh, I remember when they first opened, standing in line waiting to get one of the 4 copies (or whatever) of a much anticipated film. It was first come first serve and they only had a limited amount of copies. Seems like a lifetime ago.

I also remember, way back, renting a movie (don't remember which), putting it in the VCR and it simply didn't work. I brought it back, they said the tape broke and I was charged $30.00 I'm sure it was broken when I rented it, but oh well!!

It's a Hollywood Video store which is closing in my area. Older movies are on sale for between $5 and $9. I will wait until price drops to between $3 and $6 and see what's left.

I rewatched "Clue" the other night. Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd and Madeleine Kahn were at the top of their game.

Wait, are you saying they're not even DVDs, but VHS tapes???

Sometime soon I'm going to try out this newfangled horseless carriage....

Nope, the store is titled "Hollywood Video" but they got rid of all their VHS tapes at least 6-7 years back. Everything for sale or rent is DVD/Blu-Ray.

so, are you planning on buying them or robbing the store?

The manager is a good friend. She did say there have been a lot of ******s who have been stealing or trying to steal stuff. Evidently these morons aren't intimidated by the fact that there's a police ministation in the mall..

I just watched "Miami Blues" again on dvd. Being that it's still snowing, I figured I'd torture myself by looking at sunny South Florida.

I think this was Alec Baldwin's finest performance; filmed in 1989 before we knew what an overly political lunatic he'd become . It's adapted from the Charles Willeford novel of the same name. Willeford was a pulp noir master, if you dig that type of writing, as I do.

o i thought it was one of those stand alone buildings...but, yea that what you expect...hopefully they stole good movies and not the godfather part III

The Terry that you are referring to is Terry O'Quinn of Lost.

FINALLY saw Avatar (in Digital 3D) this afternoon -- good film in a genre I enjoy, but I was more pleased that 3D has come so far since the old shitty red/green glasses. The 3D wasn't gimmicky like usual, but actually enhanced the movie visuals most of the time. I often forgot I was watching 3D, which to me was good. It's the first time I've seen a modern digital 3D film in theaters, so maybe it's been like this for a while, but I've tried two "3D" DVD's with those shitty glasses and they were totally distractingly shitty, and compared to the new version, unwatchable now. I kept the glassing hoping the Blu-Ray will use the same technology, but I don't know -- new 3D HDTV's are due out this year, so I hope I won't have to wait a decade (since I just bought my first one recently) before enjoying such quality at home....

FINALLY!!!

Glad to know you liked it, I hope they make Avatar 2.

I like how you talk more about the technology than the movie.

That's what impressed me most.
