Gammorah VS Godzilla.....

Just came back from seeing A-Team - pretty good flick.

Drift
Rise

Both are excellent fly fishing adventure docs.

I watched Primer the other night. Pretty good. I love movies that put me in that state of mind.

Also was watching The Jerk. Such a funny movie.

Watched a documentary about strippers called Stripped, where the director goes and becomes a dancer for a while. Not really worth watching, except 2 of the five girls she met in the 8 or so months she made the movie were dead by the time the movie came out.

Watched a documentary called Michael Moore Hates America. That one was just okay as well, but it had one of my all time favorite celebrities in it, Penn Teller.

I purchased and watched Book of Eli on Wednesday (finally).

When the movie was in the theaters several folks mentioned how they wanted one of the couches like hte one in the movie (towards the end). Now I see what all of you meant - I want one too.

Pretty good movie overall, but not quite what I had hoped for (7 out of 10).

I haven't seen the movie yet, but have seen the couch. I want the front seats of my car to be like that. Like in the first Fast and Furious, but guns instead of nitrous bottles.

I just watched it this evening with my wife. I watch something she suggests without complaining, then she watches something I suggest and bitches and moans and gets distracted the whole way through. It's a deal we have.

Anyway, I'd forgotten how atmospheric the soundtrack is and the cinematography was really good too.

[theGinsue]

Agreed Jake. Unlike several of the folks here on the site, I am totally NOT musically oriented, BUT....

A soundtrack can either make or break a movie. A truly good soundtrack makes you FEEL the movie - asthough you are actually there.

Oh, Jake - I think I must have signed that same movie-viewing contract with my wife that you and your wife have. I've finally just gotten to where I'll go watch my movies on the TV in the bedroom (No, they aren't THOSE types of movies!). She hates Westerns and war movies and WON'T watch them. I just get the complaining comments throughout almost all other movies that I choose.

Watched a documentary called Michael Moore Hates America. That one was just okay as well, but it had one of my all time favorite celebrities in it, Penn Teller.

I'll have to see that, Penn & Teller's "Bullshit" tv series was one of my favorites. I just got done watching Capitalism: A Love Story. Constantly refers to Capitalism and Democracy as things which are mutually exclusive. Goes on about FDR's "Second Bill of Rights" which talks about things I can't see being reasonably implemented. Did not like.

There is a documentary about the income tax called America: Freedom to Fascism. Has anyone seen that one. You can Google the title and watch the whole thing online. It is about 1 hour long.
