Yes! I've seen it, in 10-minute segments on YouTube. I could NOT stop my mouth from hanging open in... awe? amazement? horror? incredulity? The movie is truly a most-see.

<pops eyebrow> OK, I'm in.

My own most recents are a lot more boring:

Moneyball - IIRC, I have never played baseball in my life but I thought this was pretty good. Based on the book by Michael Lewis, who I buy in hardback without reading the jacket copy.

Warrior - $5 says that the guy who runs the UFC bankrolled this (he had like 83 fawn-over-him cameos) but it was still very well done.

Honestly, Abduction....yes yes a Taylor L. movie but it was the only good thing in Redbox!

Actually, it was OK. Kept me guessing...however, it was slow at times and the first 15mins I was thinking...OK...something better be explained REALLY soon.

Saw the first Underworld again. Bill Nighy is magnificient, except for the vampire tourretes his character seems to have in this one. We've been doing it for days now. Too funny.

Watched The Enforcer (Dirty Harry 3) the other night. Very 70s but very enjoyable. And dig the jazz soundtrack.

The fiancé and I have watched over the past week: Iron Man, Thor, The Mission, and Captain America: The First Avenger. After this, Batman Begins, and Iron Man 2. The fiancé liked the first one. He was less impressed with Captain America, but he's never been a big fan of Cap.

The Mission was...interersting. Truth be told, I found it to focus a bit too much on Rodrigo's redemption rather than the natives. Still an interesting movie.

final destination V...excellent movie...but then again i thought all the final destination movies were excellent

The Thing (2011 prequel) - Loved the hell out of it. Set up the Kurt Russell version fabulously. I've even thought of a way to do a sequel to this one, that wouldn't touch John Carpenter's KR version. If you own the rights, call me...

League of Gentlemen Apocalypse. It's a local film for local people

Watched Insidious a couple of nights ago. Thought overall it was pretty good. The final part got a little corny for me with all the zombie looking ghosts. the fire face guy was scary/creepy but but the other ones were just weird and i don't know if i was missing something with the family and the girl w/the shotgun. i'm not sure if there was more message to that, or if it was just to show some of the creepy souls that wanted to take over the little boys body or just for some creepy affect stuff which it honestly kinda felt like.

Tonight we are watching Contagion and tomorrow Thor.

This week watched Ides of March (had potential but hated the ending and several character choices) and Drive (hated it for the same reasons).

Then did PPV of In Time, liked a lot. Worth watching for Matt Bomer and Alex Pettyfer's performances. And The Eagle for a second time and enjoyed it again. Love Jamie Bell in that.

Vanity Fair

I haven't read the book.... but it didn't string together the narrative very well.

yeah, i think i can stand to watch him for an hour and half LOL

Major Payne. I know it's one of the cheesiest movies ever, but it always makes me chuckle!

Dude, Damon Wayans is HILARIOUS. That whole family is just so full of talent.

Just saw Chronicle, and was really blown away. One of the ebst superhero films I've ever seen.

Didn't end up watching Thor tonight. Got a late start on movie night with my kids. We watched the movie UP. What a friggin sweet movie! Love it so mu-- "SQUIRREL!"

I refuse to give Hollywood any of my money, so I do not go to movies in theatres.

Last movie I watched on TV was 'Man on Fire' with Denzel Washington. Pretty good. I like movies that show what life is like in other countries. In this case Mexico.

I hope Chronicle is released in France. It looks so cool! Last film I saw, I believe, was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I thin Fincher is a genius and it was a really well made film. I didn't really like the books, though, and so I had the same issues with the movie plot. But a faithful adaption and surely superior to the Swedish adaption.

The acting was fantastic too. Oh and the editing, loved it. Glad Rooney is nominated for an Oscar. She's come so far in such a short period of time.

Iron Man 2, Die Hard, Ghostbusters, and Die Hard 2.

War Horse. Amazing.

Just saw Albert Nobbs. A strange little movie, but one that sticks in the mind long beyond the viewing.

Just caught the end of This Is Spinal Tap. Escape From New York came on next. Two of my all-time favorite films back to back.

I was having a pretty mindless weekend, so I watched Underworld: Awakenings and the rerelease of Beauty and the Beast (3D... but not by choice).
