That was a great flick. If you liked that you should rent "Snatch" (Keep it clean guys). Same Director and the same type of humor.
NOT a brad pitt fan but he was excellent in this movie.
What I will do when I can't find anything decent. I'll rent an old classic that I haven't seen yet. You really learn to appreciate how much was invested in a Story verses Special Effects back then.
Rent "The Grapes of Wrath" w/ Henry Fonda....Very Powerful Movie |

DTF, I did see Snatch, another great flick.
The next movie I'm going to rent is "Sexy Beast" another British movie, stand by for the review.
Sexy Beast - watched it 1/11 2 stars, not bad but no where near as good as Snatch or Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrells.

I RENTED "HERO" last week, its a new chinese/martial arts flick. If you liked Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon you will like this. Cool plot, great filmography. I really enjoyed it. I believe Jet Li stars in it.

I watch A LOT of movies. Hate watchin t.v. cause I can't stand commercials. Usually only rent the new realeases at Blcok Buster. And On Demnad is pretty sweet.
This past week saw "Meet the Fockers". Saw it for free and still wanted to demand my money back. I thought it sucked. First one was funny but there was too much play on the whole Focker name that it was overkill and corny.
I rented "Chronilces of Rid#^&#^&#^&#^&" Never been a big Sci-Fi fan, but I was really lost through most of the movie.
Rented "Bourne Supremacy"- Not bad. Great escape and action scenes.
Rented "Collateral"- Not bad but kind of slow going. Lot if "dead" time.
"Dodegball"- Funny, but kind of not as funny as I had expected from what everyone had been tellin me it was. Overhyped for me I guess, but still pretty funny.
we watched "EuroTrip" on on demand the other night. The group of us found it extremely funny and even the parts where it was gettin corny there were so many bare breats through out that it kept us well entertained.
We got suckered into watchin "50 First Dates" by one of the woman. Actually wasn't too bad for a chick flick. Us guys got enough laughs out of it to say it didn't suck. But its still a chick flick.
Everyone mentioned "The Last Samurai"- Definately a good flick.
Watin for a kid at work to bring me in "Napoleon Dynamite"

For x-mas i got 2 dvd's
the punisher and walking tall (remake 2004) both movies are good..if you like action sequences with blood and guts and all of that good stuff you'll love the punisher.. if you like fights and all good kicking evils butt you'll like walking tall.. the only thing is walking tall has nothing to do with the original 70's one except for the name and the wooden stake.. besides that.. good and funny movie
Punisher - 9.0
Walking tall - 9.7

I saw that one night because I couldn't find anything "Good" on TV. After seeing it I was like "WOW".
There was a chapter in american history that gets pretty glossed over. Couldn't imagine how that felt to have worked your whole life, as well as your parents and grandparents lives, to build a home and then have someone drive up someday and take it all away like that. Like I said above a Very Powerful Movie.
If your also looking for some other great movies to rent try some of these out. I've seen 64 on the list and haven't been disappointed by any. People may have a problem w/ how they fell in the rankings but you can't complain that they are not quality movies

If you want to find out if a movie is any good or not, go to www.imdb.com. Do a search for the movie and a file will come up on it. Every movie file has a review and a message board. The review is written by an average person, not a critique. The message boards are pretty good gauge for the movie's quality too. You can even search for movies that aren't out yet. |

Speaking of imdb.com - in addition to the reviews, check out each movie's links to "TRIVIA" and "GOOFS" pages. Interesting stuff.

Suffered through 3/4 of "Napoleon Dynamite" the other nite. We were all a bit in the bag and none of us laughed At all. I think there was one chuckled in the room before we finally shut it off. Quite possibly may have over taken "Dirty Dancing" as the worst movie ever.
Rented "Hidalgo" the other night. Was alright but for some reason my DVD player wouldn't put up what they were saying in arabic unless I left the captioning on for the whole movie and that kind ruined it.
Also rented "Man on Fire" Pretty good.
Runnin out of movies to rent/ watch. Most left on the shelves don't look very appealing.

If you're interested in seeing one of the most bizarre and equally as stupid movies see "The Village".One of the worst movies I've ever seen.Ranks right up there with Spielburg's "AI".

I didn't see the Villiage, but my brother did, and from what he told me it was one of Shyamalan's recycled plots.
