Anyone seen a good movie lately?

Saw Murderball and Cinderella Man this weekend.

I won't beat a dead horse with Murderball, but suffice to say it was excellent. Would recommend it to any sports-fan/sucker-for-icehole-cripples-who-will-happily-beat-your-fully-functioning-ass.

I waited a long time to see Cinderella Man because, well because I hate Russell Crowe. It looked like another over-long, epic, underdog, little guy, feel good, blah blah blah movie starring Mr. Dipshtein himself. Of course I was wrong. It was awesome. Paul Giamatti was fanfargingtastic. See it.

Renee Zellweger is a little annoying, and the beginning of the movie is slow and depressing at times.

But it's overall a really good movie. Don't buy it, but see it.

Renee was a trillion times less annoying than she is in just about every other movie she's ever been in, but yes, her part was cheesy and she cheesed it up accordingly.

Just watched "Secondhand Lions" again this weekend....great movie for anyone that hasn't seen it...IMO.

I NetFlixed this move after I saw it their "Recommended" section. Robert DuVall and Michael Caine were excellent in it. Would recommend it, a good watch.

Cold Mountain?

I watched Triumph the Insult Comic's DVD over the weekend. It was awesome!! That star wars segment still cracks me up. I had never seen the Quebec one either.

I have it and the Michael Jackson trial one downloaded to my computer. Both hilarious.

I tried to watch Cold Mountain at least 5 times and never made it past half way. One of the most boring movies ever.

Standard "Going To A Movie With Another Guy" protocol.

Always, ALWAYS, leave an empty seat between you.
