I watched The Man from Earth last night. Great low-budget (really, really, low budget) flick.

I just got around to seeing "Next" with Nicholas Cage. Its pretty good IMO. Jessica Beil is HOT.

Saw The Strangers on Friday.

Save the $10.

Not even worth the R rating... People in the theater talked throughout the whole movie and thats pretty much what made it entertaining.

My advice: Wait till it they start playing it on cable.

For those a bit twisted, rent the unrated version of "Inside." It's a new French horror flick... just watched it and I still can't believe what I just saw (don't even read the reviews on it- some contain spoilers in the headings).

Netflixed "Ocean's Thirteen" and watched it yesterday. It was good in a cheesy Vegas kind of way. Definitely a lot less realistic than the other 2 (even though they weren't very realistic to begin with), but if you can look past that, it's a pretty good flick.

Was Oceans Thirteen better than Twelve?

I just watched Twelve the other night and I really struggled to get through it.

My wife and I saw Twelve in the theater and didn't like it. It's strange for us to be on the exact same page about movies, but for Twelve after we saw it the first time, we were.

However, the more I've watched it, the more I've enjoyed it. You start to understand more of the inside stuff.

Thirteen was likable out of the box for us. Plus Super Dave Osborne is in it...

Yeah I can see how seeing it again might make it more enjoyable. It was a bit confusing at times.

I watched Semi-Pro on PPV yesterday. Blah...

At this point, I'm convinced Will Ferrell will never be able to top Anchorman.

I thought he was good in Talladega Nights..

Anchorman I thought was just.. Odd. I think It's one of those movies you either love or hate.

I think his best movie was Old School.

I don't think Talladega Nights was that good at all. Tbh, one of the worst scenes I've watched in a movie was watching him run around pretend he was on fire for like 10 minutes. I loved Anchorman though and I agree that Old School was probably one of his best movies, I loved that one. He was good in Blades of Glory as well, I thought that was a good movie.

I can't help but ask...

What's THE worst scene you've ever seen in a movie?

That's actually a hard question. Undoubtedly I've seen a lot of scenes where I didn't like at all, but I usually forget them once the movie is over lol. But that scene with Will Ferrell running around screaming and rolling on the ground "ahhhh I'm on fire" for 10 minutes straight and there's no fire to speak of, well that just stood out to me because I felt like it was one of the most immature scenes I've watched and it wasn't funny at all.

I mean maybe if the scene was like 20 seconds long and he rolled around once or twice and then after that it stopped perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad, but the damn thing was wayyyyyyyyyyyy too damn long and it wasn't even remotely funny. Coming from me that's kinda big, because I'm immature to an extent and I like a lot of childish movies and things like that, movies that sophisticated society would look at and say, what childish rubble, or something. There's a lot of stuff that I can put up with.But god I hate that scene lol.

I guess it would be good to say that that scene is probably the worst scene I've ever watched, since it's the only one I can remember at the moment for being so shitty.
