I saw Get Him to the Greek last night as well. I thought it was good, I didn't watch the previews or read up on it too much beforehand so I thought it was going to be a comedy mainly, but I was pleasantly suprised by the more serious moments in it. Not having a clear idea of what it's like to be in a famous musicians' entourage I wouldn't be suprised if that painted an accurate picture of what it is like.

I had a similar opinion when I saw that last weekend and don't know about you but I was surprised how funny Diddy was.

Oh I definitely agree Diddy was hilarious throughout the whole movie. He definitely shined in the comedy scenes. I especially loved when

/[B][I][U]SPOILER ALERT[/U][/I][/B]

[COLOR="White"]he was on the set of that video with the gangster rapper and the rapper was like, why I gotta look gangsta? And Diddy was all, because the name of the song is "I'm Gangsta." And then he said the dude looked like Carlton from Fresh Prince and he did the Carlton dance, I thought that was one of the most hilarious scenes in the movie[/COLOR]

Finally got around to watching Inglourious Basterds last night... loved it. One of Tarantino's best for sure.

I agree, I didn't realize that Pitt had the range to play the character that he did. I loved his calling card in that movie.

Yeah Pitt was great. He doesn't often get the credit he deserves for being a great actor.

What if you could speak every language that was spoken in that movie, I think it would have even been more enjoyable.

One week 'till Inception. The buzz on this one is ridiculous. Christopher Nolan just keeps bringing the heat.

Considering his track record (Memento, Batman Begins, Dark Knight) I'm not about to question Nolan. Or DiCaprio. (And Ellen Page is great too, loved her in Juno)

Anyway, while I'm not about to question him there is a little part of me that isn't sure if this will be awesome or just too weird. I have heard that they've been keeping the sickest parts of the movie out the trailer. So however bad ass you think it might be when you watch the trailer...you ain't seen nothing yet.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

@Matty: Yeah IB is a great movie, I absolutely love that one. Bought it on Blu-Ray like the first week it came out.

I'm looking forward to Inception as well. The previews have looked good and I like the concept so I'm probably gonna see that one.

I saw Grown Ups last week and Hot Tub Time Machine as well and I def. liked both of those. I felt like Grown Ups was a nice family movie but with Sandler and co. in it it definitely had some funny parts for adults in there too. All the guys (Sandler, Rock Schneider, Spade, James) did great and it was nice seeing old cast members from Sandler's other movies in there too.

Hot Tub Time Machine was funny too. I like that Clark kid from Sex Drive and overall it was a good funny movie but nothing mind blowing about it.

So saw three movies this weekend: Paranormal Activity, Das Experiment, Zombieland (was home alone Friday and Saturday afternoon).

PA was ehh. Basic "ohh, scary things happening off camera, don't see monster a la' Blair Witch". Gave me a goosebump or two but not one that is gonna keep me up at nights. Also, just kept thinking - boy, the boyfriend is one dumb dude.

Das Experiment - Interesting, fictionalized account of the Stanford Prison Experiment fo 1971 ([url=http://www.prisonexp.org/psychology/1]The Stanford Prison Experiment: A Simulation Study of the Psychology of Imprisonment[/url]). Professor has volunteers for an experiment: 8 prison guards, 12 prisoners. Experiment goes bad quickly. German subtitles. Fine to kill an afternoon with. If your current "list of movies I want to watch" is short, add it to the end. If it's long, put it in the middle somewhere.

Zombieland. - Overall, not bad. Woody Harrelson being Woody Harrelson. Emma Stone being hot. Teenage boy being angsty about Emma Stone being hot. Lots of zombies, not nearly as gory as it could have been put certainly a plenty o'blood. Good story - not just a shoot'em up zombie movie.

Predators owned. I really dug the storyline and the technical stuff (especially the action shots and sound design) was top notch. The director is a Hungarian dude who did a really slick movie called "Kontroll."

God bless you! I was hoping this wouldn't suck.
