I saw The Pelican Brief. I know I'm a couple of years late but I enjoyed it. The whole corruption of a business man reaching all way to the head of State was kind of interesting. I mean it was just a Hollywood movie, kind of expected development but it was done good. Denzel is cool.

6 out of 10 Matty Rains

Was my first movie in about a month.
 
that too

goes together with the immolation thread
 
watched Limitless one day last week...enjoyed it up to the point where it switched from the guy being a brainiac to him feeling like a fucking super hero...it got a bit dumb...not a bad flick though...
7/10 matty rains

My Life - Michael Keaton provides a great SIKE death scene. But then he dies anyways a few seconds later so it wasn't as funny as originally thought.

Upright Citizen's Brigade: Season 2 -One of my favorite sketch comedy shows from just over a decade ago.

All four cast members are equally as talented and diverse, although the only one that went on to mainstream success is Amy Poehler. Used to love this show.

Eye of the Beholder - Ashley Judd in some movie I already forgot all about. Oh yeah I remember....it made zero sense at all. I mean, it didn't even try to tie anything together. I think she showed her nice little boobies though so that immediately jolts it up to 9.5 Loaves!

Prime -***CHICK FLICK ALERT*** And yeah, I liked it. So what? Uma Thurman plays a 36-year newly single girl who begins to date a handsome but immature 23-year old Jewboy.

Now I know what you're thinking - Bread! That sounds amazing! I knoww!! But wait, there's more. The young man's mother, played by the great Meryl Streep, also happens to be Thurman's shrink. Except Streep doesn't realize that Thurman is dating her son and constantly giving love and sex advice to her as a client and her son doesn't realize that his girlfriend is a client of his mother's and Thurman doesn't realize that her boyfriend is her shrink's son. Then Streep accidentally stumbles upon the information and struggles with how to handle the topic with both of them! Hilarious!

Then Bruce Wills shows up and blows up some buildings. Yippee ki yay, mutherfuckers.

OK just kidding about that last part. No John McClane to be found. I just felt like throwing him in there allowed me to retain a tiny slice of my manhood. No?

Battle Los Angeles -Yet another UFO crapfest. I really think I'm done with alien movies for awhile. :down:

Cowboys & Aliens -Well that lasted a long time :lmao: But to be fair, we got exactly what we wanted out of this one. Daytime visit to the movies, sneaking in liquor, looking for some brainless entertainment to prep for crazy night at The Castle later on.

And it was as brainless as I could've ever hoped. Dumb.

For awhile I actually began to think that C&A might work. I mean, as much as an alien-western movie can. But of course it went all clich on us and Hollywood dopiness ensued.

I'll tell you who won't fly under my radar any longer - Crotchety old Harrison Ford. What a miserable old coot. Welcome to my personal Nick Nolteville, Han Solo. Old men sporting earrings always welcomed.

Cedar Rapids -An OK enough comedy that truly is only worth watching during any John C. Reilly scene. Dr. Steve Brule I love you forever and ever. Amen.

:rofl:



Animal Kingdom -Jello said Hey you guys watch Animal Kingdom! It's pretty darn swell!! And you know what? It was pretty darn swell.

Probably the second best Australian movie I've seen since Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. Actually since that's in L.A. it's probably technically not Australian. If so I'll change my answer to Point Break :dance:
 
I watched The Change Up yesterday. I actually thought it was hilarious. Getting killed in reviews but I laughed...hard at parts. Especially the first half.

Obviously a ridiculous premise, and I usually don't go for those type of movies. But Im a fan of both Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman and I thought they were great together.
 
Tron Legacy -Turned it off about 20 minutes in. BASURA!

Mr Show -Robyn had been telling me that I would enjoy this for some time now, and with the reemergence of Bob Odenkirk as Better Call Saul on 'Breaking Bad,' Mr. Show finally made its way here.

I do enjoy it. It reminds a bit of Upright Citizens Brigade in how several different skits throughout the show will all tie into each other at the finish. It's clever, it's random, it's smart. There are some episodes that are absolute bombs, but those are worth toughing out to get to the good stuff.

Anchorman -"We've been coming to the same party for years, and in no way is that depressing."

This quote pretty much sums up Anchorman for me. I've seen it a million times. I literally laugh my head off every time and then I enroll in a class on how to correctly use figures of speech. Probably my favorite comedy ever. Ridiculous, just ridiculous.

Oh, man. I LOVED Mr. Show. My favorite skit... Love the fucking chicken.
