Anyone seen a good movie lately?

Saw the Bad News Bears remake today. If you liked the original and you liked Bad Santa, you'll like this one. There are enough references to the original, but they changed a few things....

Sweet...I guess I'll have to catch it.  Billy Bob makes the perfect drunk idiot IMO...loved him in Bad Santa.

Here's a list of changes:

R: Toby is a small skinny brown-haired kid

O: Buttermaker is a pool cleaner

O: Rudy Stein, a Jew that had no skills
R: Garo Daragebrigadian, an Armenian that has no skills

O: Oglivie, white nerd
R: Prem Lahiri, Indian nerd

R: Engelberg hits lefty

O: Ahmad is a CF that idolizes the black players of the 50s

O: The son of the Yankees coach gets revenge by holding onto Engelberg's grounder back to him, allowing Engelberg to score on an infield HR
R: The son of the Yankees coach gets revenge by underhanding a slow pitch to Engelberg, allowing him to crush a go-ahead HR 

O: Stein blows the lead in the final inning.
R: Toby blows the lead in the final inning.

O: A fly ball is hit to Lupus in right field.  He reaches back over the fence and catches it, causing celebration.
R: Lupus is at 2nd base and the kid in the motor scooter is in right field.  Lupus goes back for a popup, it hits his glove and bounces backwards, where the kid in the scooter catches it.  LAME! 

O: Kelly is given an IBB, but before it's completed, Kelly smashes it into the gap, clearing the bases.
R: Same thing here, but Kelly smashes what appears to be a HR to right....but it's caught at the fence for the 2nd out. 

O: Kelly clears the bases but is tagged out at home.  Yankees win the championship.
R: Daragebrigadian is the one that hits the bases-clearing shot and gets thrown out at home.  Yankees win the championship.

I watched Hitched last night and thought it was excellent. Definitely a good movie for single guys to watch. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Do you mean "Hitch"?

[MURP]

The Devils Rejects, great flick for the sick and twisted.  I loved it naturally.

[mussa]

constantine i thought was cool, but the ending was just kinda lame.  not really expecting much from a keanu flick.

rented a very long engagement, going to watch it tonight.

I just watched Young Frankenstein last night for the first time again. That Marty Feldman...jesus he was great in that movie.

One of the funniest parts is when he lights that cigarette in front of the Creature.

Something funny I just read in a magazine....the chick who played Gloria (the crazy redhead that goes all psycho on Vince Vaughn)....is Sacha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G)'s fiancee. LMFAO

[Reidme]

Saw Wedding Crashers on Fri night.  Very funny, its nice to see a non pc comedy once in awhile. Some of it was unrealistic, but it was damn funny, and the casting was dead on.  The theater was packed, got there 15 minutes before start, and still had to sit three rows from the screen.

[Zanshin]

Caught "The Forgotten" on HBO the other night.  When it came out, I thought the concept and trailers looked interesting...but it was a real disappointment.

[Father Demon]

Watched Coach Carter this weekend...  Samuel L. Jackson as a basketball coach who turns a bunch of ghetto high school kids into winners, gentlemen, and college students.  I thought it was excellent.  Based on a true story, I think.

[Wingspan]

rented a movie called "Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter" should arive from netflix tomorrow. anyone ever see it?

i'll let people know how it is after i watch it.

i rented it based on the title alone, and nothing else.

[MURP]

never heard of it Wingspan, but with a tagline like "The Power of Christ Impales You." it must be hilariously awful.   

[Tomahawk]

Without ever hearing of it before, I am going to go buy that movie tonight!
