bigharpoon:I'll give Gran Torino another nod. This is the best movie I've seen in quite a while. Clint Eastwood makes a great flick. When a movie has a great ending and everything comes together like poetry it really showcases the talent and skill involved. Nothing worse than a movie that's pretty good most of the way and then falls to pieces at the end in typical hackneyed Hollywood fashion.

Excellent movie, one of Clint's best. Another good one was Appaloosa. Ed Harris was great in it, but I'll warn you, it's long, and is really slow in parts. Really good movie overall though. I'd recommend both.
phobicsquirrel:I enjoyed gran torino too, though thought the end was anti-climactic. I was hoping for some good 'ol torturing of them aholes! Saw transformers 2 last night, I really enjoyed it. Lot's of robotic action, I wish that there would have been a bit more explained on the fallen and how he and unicorn play into the story to set the stage for the 3rd film. I thought the battles were well done, wish the finale was a bit longer, but it was pretty bad ass. most of the reviews I read before seeing it blasted the story, well I have to say, wtf? Transformers was never a story driven show, it was based off of toys for god's sake. I think bay delivered on what people wanted, pure action and robot ass kicking. I sort of thought prime was a wussy in the first one but he really showed he can bring it this time around. I had some reservations about how sam played with the primes and the key but other than that I enjoyed it. 2.5 hours of joy for my wife and I. I hope bay returns for the 3rd one to finish the trilogy. oh and I do think this one was funnier than the 1st, could have done without the robot twins but they weren't all that bad. I did notice the cgi wasn't as good on them, not sure why but most things were beautiful. I have a theater near me that shows movies in HD with a christine dlp projector 2048p lines on a 50 foot screen and I swear it was fan freakin tastic.
brsmith21:I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

Bibby:Nothing to worry about Naught, I really liked the story line and the acting didn't deter it for me during the viewing, but if I watched it again now that you mentioned it I would probably have the same feelings. Cholmes, exactly "Powder Blue" was atrocious. I really only rented it for Liotta, Biel, Kristopherson, and Whittaker in a non-hollywood hyped movie. Boy that was the wrong move, what a piece of *** as you aptly described in your response. ~ Rob
