- Bored to Death - Took a couple of episodes to get into, but now I'm really enjoying this new HBO series. Ted Dansen owns every scene he's inabout 9 hours ago from web
- Rudo y Cursi - Bernal & Luna have a definite chemistry, they're fun together. Isn't enough soccer scenes, feels like they avoid filming themabout 9 hours ago from web
- Hocus Pocus - An ok Disney style Halloween kids film. Bette Midler and SJ Parker have a blast overacting as the witches, they keep it fun.about 18 hours ago from web
- Hitchikers Guide Galaxy - An unappreciated film. While slightly deviating from the books plot, it completely captures the humor & spirit.about 18 hours ago from web
- Humbolt County - Sold as a Pot-Comedy, but actually a very nicely made indie-drama, with a true heart and a 70's minimalist vibe to it.8:42 PM Nov 8th from web
- Pirates of Caribbean - My 5-year-old is on a pirate kick, decided to show him. A classic big budget action film, surprisingly well written.8:39 PM Nov 8th from web
- Bad Dreams - Decent 80s horror film I hadn't seen. Sort of Nightmare on Elm St rip-off, scary burned guy, dream theme 11:24 AM Nov 7th from web
- Away We Go - Well made romantic dramedy. Good performances from Krasinski & Rudolph. Quirky without being obnoxious and remaining realistic.11:19 AM Nov 7th from web
- Couples Retreat - Vaughn, Favreau & rest of cast, make this schmaltzy & by-the-numbers romantic-comedy watchable, but in no way memorable6:48 PM Nov 5th from web
- Death at a Funeral - A good dark-comedy, full of memorable characters and all their crazy actions over a single day, directed by Franz Oz.6:41 PM Nov 5th from web
- Funny Money - I still find Chevy Chase funny, one of his only recent starring roles. Pretty funny, but felt more like a play than a film.8:58 PM Nov 4th from web
- Year One - Not good or bad. Feels like one of those comedies where after catching it for the 20th time on TBS it'll start being funny.8:53 PM Nov 4th from web
- Ice Age 3 - Much better than the 2nd film, maybe the best of the bunch, has some inspired scenes, loved Scratt dancing and the pterodactyl.8:50 PM Nov 4th from web
- Howling 2 Sister's a Werewolf: Only watched a few scenes, I've seen it before; one of the most surreal sequels ever- 3:07 PM Nov 2nd from web
- The Proposal - Not bad as far as Sandra Bullock romantic-comedies go, probably my favorite of those I've seen, which isn't saying much.3:04 PM Nov 2nd from web
- Pieces - The kind of bad movie I love, ridiculous plot, gory as hell, nudity galore, terrible acting & dialog, but a verve that makes it fun9:27 AM Nov 1st from web

- Monster Man - If you enjoy completely over-the-top films, brimming with ridiculous comedy,action & gore- Michael Davis has made this for you2:05 PM Oct 30th from web

- Transformers 2 - At least 30 min too long, but I enjoyed it more than #1, because the Transformers actually feel like the stars of the film.5:12 PM Oct 28th from web
