It's on my Netflix list, with about 100 other movies...I really hoping they start to expand their "Watch Instantly" section soon, so my wife and I can start knocking off some of these movies quicker.

I thought it was pretty funny. The premise is great, but it scares me a little but because I think it could come true.

Watched two movies the past week, including Christmas Day (I'm visiting my mom in Hawaii and I've gotta say that Hawaiians come out in force to watch movies on Christmas... it was packed!).

Sweeney Todd is Burton's darkest work yet... very bloody and morbidly funny. Even if you don't like musicals, it's still worth checking out.

Yesterday (X-mas) i saw "Juno." It's definitely in my top 5 for this year... Ellen Page is going to be an epic actress.

I'm very interested in CWW... I heard it was funnier than you'd expect.

Good flick. Yes, it's funny. Hanks did a good job.

Was finally able to watch "Superbad" last night when we got home from our Christmas celebration. Freakin' hilarious. Tonight will be The Simpsons Movie.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I watched the 3rd Pirates movie for the first time. It was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be.

I'm hoping the new AvP will be decent. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Kite Runner is a must see. In fact, see both Charlie Wilson's War and Kite Runner. Almost prophetic given the recent events surrounding Bhutto's death.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Charlie Wilson's War was fantastic. Seriously it was great.

A movie that i can't believe no one has seen is walk hard: dewey cox. It is so f...ing funny. I read all the reviews and they weren't horrible but they weren't good. It was engaging throughout and poked fun of music from the 50s to the present. It was not your regular stupid parody movie either. It was not so over the top. It really was a fantastic movie. Looking at fan reviews, it looks like you loved it or hated it. Its hard to see someone hate it. It was a complete story. From beginning to end and the character changes with the music of the times.

I think adults that grew up with the music in the 60s would appreciate it more but the humor might be for the younger crowd. I think that is where it falls apart. It is perfect for the 20 somethings out there. The music was pretty good too. This movie was a major flop and it shouldn't have been.

the BSB - I was actually getting ready to say that I saw Walk Hard on Friday night...

...and I concur with everything the BSB says about it. Freakin' hilarious. And while some of the scenes are a bit over the top, most of it is just downright funny. And Jenna Fischer (Pam from The Office) is super hot in it.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

yeah she is. This is a great song from the movie. Don't watch it if you would rather watch it for the first time at the theater.

Just saw I am Legend today.

Crazy ass movie and they are saying that shit's supposed to happen in 2009. If it did, pray for divine intervention.

Nope. I managed to avoid that book. On the other hand I did have to read Animal Farm. :D
