Just saw Contagion, Drive and Shark Night at the drive in this past weekend.

Contagion was pretty good. Not quite what I expected, but well worth watching.

Drive sucked. I acutally cried in my wifes arms for five minutes mourning the 90 minutes of my life that flick stole from me. It looked like a 12 year old shot, directed and wrote the script.

Shark Night wasn't that great either. Not as good as Piranha. Might be worth a red box rental or throw it in your netflix que.

Dudes... just saw Hanna and Fast Five last night- here's the breakdown:
Hanna- 8/10, not what I was expecting but very good!
Fast Five- 7/10, exactly what I was expecting but still pretty decent with some hot chicks, fast cars and lots of action! Don't think, it's a fun film.

Interesting, Drive has gotten lots of praise. I'm not sure what to think of your review since you said "Not as good as Piranha." and the only Piranha movie I know was that terrible 3D one. Am I mistaken or do you have terrible taste in movies Veritas?

I'm watching The Man From Nowhere tonight. It is on Netflix instant. I think it's Korean. It is an awesome action film. It's like a Korean Guy Ritchie film.

Okay, call me a campy lout but The Pee-Wee Show on Broadway was funny.

Pook, sometimes I worry about you...

I watched Scream 4 last night- lots of twists and they did a good job of keeping you guessing who the killer was. Mixed bag of acting though, some good, some downright awful, but overall a pretty decent movie for the 4th in Wes Craven's Quadrilogy.

Arena - Samuel Jackson Low budget, lots of blood and some female chests. Might be worth watching on HBO for Free

The Set Up - Movie was done okay, actors did their job, but plot was kinda blah. Another worth watching if its free.

The Guard - British movie about a rural cop dealing with drug dealers, I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Drive - Its an ART movie for sure, the 5 mins of action I did enjoy. But overall nothing overwhelming great about it

Zoo Keeper - Fairly funny and fun to watch with the wife.

Red Faction Origins - For what generally appears to be a Sci-Fi channel movie it was much better then I expected. If a fan of the game or sci-fi in general would be worth a $1 rental.

Red Riding hood - The blood and gore kept me interested, but in the end its not something I would ever watch again.

Don't think you have to be a facebook member to see this, but maybe. Here's a short 4 minute film that a local guy created for a film contest. Cool little horror short, and really pretty well done

I haven't seen anything new lately, other than watching the Narnia films. The last time I watched the first one, I was a drinker still, so I didn't pay attention to it. Watched the first two, and have the third one on the way.

I am, however, excited for this Friday, as I'm going to see The Hills Have Eyes at the Denver Film Center, and Michael Berryman is going to be there!

You are not the only one.


Another plug for local film makers, Cease Fire is almost ready to be released. The Tivoli is the only theater that might actually show it.

Just saw the following movies:

Your Highness - absolutely hilarness, but very crass. Don't watch this movie if your offended by violence, gore, nudity or copious and creative use of the "f" word.

Paul - Also a very funny movie, but the Christain bashing got old after a while. The alien was hilarious, just wish he would have kept his pants on more...

[Ah Pook]

Sorry but Your Highness is the WORST movie I've seen in a long time. Not even a giggle. I think Tropic Thunder was the last worst movie. At least the kid getting thrown off the bridge got a laugh.

Paul was good, though. Watched it twice.
