I watched that movie Brick that someone here was pimping and thought it was pretty retarded. Some loser high scholl douchebag goes on this crazy mad vendetta for no reason, I just thought it was stupid.

I'm the one who liked it, but your viewpoint also makes sense.

it had potential at first, but there just didn't seem to be a point to anything he did at all. there was no reason for him to get involved with anything, and then within 2 days he becomes one of the top guys? plus these were supposed to be high school kids, they just seemed to dramatic and adultish.

The Sentinel- average Michael Douglas drama/action flick-

I watched Brick the other night. I liked it, partially because the main character is a nerd. But I thought it would have been better if it wasn't supposed to be taking place with highschool kids as the characters.

Either way, I want to watch it again without having to pay attention to every little detail just to understand what's happening.

I thought that's what made it more interesting. I think the writer/director was trying to make it from the viewpoint of high school kids, where everything is blown out of proportion and a bigger worldview is out of the question.

I finally saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith last night. Wasn't an award-winning flick, but I enjoyed it.

Besides, I got to watch Angelina Jolie for a couple of hours.

Saw The Sentinel last night. Okay movie. Does everything okay, does nothing quite good.

7.2/10

Vince Vaughn playing the French guy's life partner instead of Andy Richter?

no, VV as the team owner

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 30, 2006, 05:02:26 PM

The guy who played the owner is a good character-actor as a total prick, though.

I watched House of Flying Daggers tonight. I give it a resounding "meh."

Ziyi Zhang is one of the hottest girls out there. She is so unbelievably hot.

I've seen at least 3 movies this summer with previews for "The Guardian" - a coast guard movie starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher that seems to basically be a dirty rip-off of many other movies, although it's based on a true story.

Has anyone else seen the preview? Is there any doubt in your mind that in that climactic scene, Costner's character dies saving Kutcher's character? Movies are so predictable.
