Default Movies, what you've seen, what you like, what went wrong...

Maybe a way to toss around some what to watch tonight at home or go out or spend your money or save it ideas and introduce others to something they might have missed....

Indiana Jones (new one) -first 3/4 pretty good-ending not good

Ironman (new)-better than I expected

Young Einstein-still one of my favorite movies ever

The Breed-cool, 50s looking vampire movie

Eraserhead-weirdest movie ever made (like 2 words in whole movie)

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty-I love Danny Kaye, this movie is old but I love it...

Ok, your turn...

I have to say I preferred Ironman and even Made of Honor was not too bad.

Likes 300 for the pure art-didn't expect all the "special effects, characters and incorrect animals"

Smokin Aces, The Departed and Crank were all cool!

The first time I saw shaun of the dead (same cast as hot fuzz) there was this scene that litterally had me on the floor laughing (if you've see the movie you probably remember the record scene)

I too enjoyed Ironman, I like the Marvel movies...National Treasure 2 was a big disappointment. I am eagerly waiting for the release of Batman the Frightening.

As for recently watched DVDs, I just saw:

Lars and the Real Girl...We laughed out loud on some parts, but the movie was pretty much predictable and slowed down towards the end. Just your average dark, quirky humor movie.

Sweeney Todd...I could only stand the first 10 minutes and turned it off, absolute torture!

I just finished Nip/Tuck season 4, LOVE that show!

Before that finished Big Love season 2, that show is funny.

and before that watched all three seasons of Deadwood....LOVE that show, FREAKING hilarious! and the first time I was actually depressed after watching the very final episode I miss it, lol but yeah if you like gritty shows that is definitely a good one to watch.

I guess I am too much of a nit-picker. Indiana: I didn't like the circa 1970 chevy motor in the Rat-rod and the fact the kid had a 2000+ Harley Springer. The movie didn't follow the previous 3 theme well.
I can always sit through Fight Club, Braveheart, Gladiator.

American Psycho is one movie I can watch over and over..."It's hip to be square!"
Tombstone is another one of my favs
The Count of Monte Cristo, I actually watched this movie twice and it was a really good! Great story and the acting was good, I'd watch it again.

Of course, you've not seen any good movies till you've had some Tarantino

Sweeney Todd was insane-stick with it and it makes sense. I am not saying it is the best movie but it gets pretty insane and worth seeing just for the shear uniqueness. REALLY bloody though.

300 was pretty bloody too-just watched the making of on it-pretty cool deal. I though all the main guys had cyber-ized builds because they were so ripped-nope, turns out it was real-intense training for 8 weeks ever before the movie started filming.

Sweeny Todd was frigin amazing. Sick as hell, but so original. A typical Tim Burton film.

Iron Man was awesome, one of the best comic movies made.

IJ4 was great until the ending. All the CG took away from the IJ essence, but the action was still there.

Space ***** still remains my all time favorite movie.

Indiana Jones - Id say 90% of this movie is great.. just like any other Indiana Jones.. (i can live with the ending)

Iron Man - I was actually disappointed on this one, but I did it to myself by expecting more..

Rambo (DVD Blue-Ray) - So far this is my favorite movie.. very gory, and very violent.. just the way i love it..
