my girlfriend and i were extras once, in the episode where the coach runs on the feild and knocks down riggins, we were in the crowd and could clearly be seen in two seperate panning shots of the crowd, one for each team, it was pretty cool but we lost the episode it was saved on our dvr but got corrupted.

they also had the parade in season one(may have been begining of season two) outside of my work and i got to stand about 5 feet from mika kelly.

Hot Tub Time Machine 5/10

Needless to say, I wasn't expecting Citizen Kane or even Airplane. But I was disappointed in this movie. It was funny in places, but as a time travel comedy, it failed to derive sufficient humor, plot, and overall substance from the time in which it was situated. I expected a greater focus--perhaps even an homage to--the decade of the 1980s.


That was what I thought myself when I saw a screening last month. The best parts were the 80's references, and there just weren't nearly enough. They made a deal about it being the 80's for like 3 minutes and had a reference here and there, but that's about as far as it went.

She's out of my League was a much funnier movie that came out a couple weeks ago.

The Blind Side 9/10

Absolutely great movie. I'd been waiting and waiting to see it and had heard nothing but great things about it and it did not disappoint. Excellent movie.

Remember me 8.5/10. this wasn't a typical movie. yea we've all seen chick flicks and romance movies. This was different. it was the type of movie that made you question your thoughts and actions. I wont lie, it made me think of my own personal life and yes i was moved to tears. Damn good movie.

Is that the one with Pattinson? The trailer didn't look half bad actually.

I saw The Slaughter Rule.

The rural Montana countryside and 6 man football scenes were good, but a string of unlikely tragedies along with unwanted homoerotic advances broke the back of this depressing movie.

4/10

Just saw the movie "The Blind Side" for the 1st time. I really enjoyed the movie. I think it is the best job of acting I have seen from Sandra Bullock

The Hangover - 7.5/10. I laughed the entire time, but a lot of times, it was a bit....too much (I saw the unrated version - needless to say, there were many things I did not want to see).

Changeling - 8/10 - great movie, sad, but great. I really felt for Jolie and the muck she had to go through. Sadly, it was pretty good representation of what mental health and the institution of psychiatric care was like back then.

Fargo - 7/10 - talk about nearly every scene being ridiculously uncomfortable. There wasn't any relief from that, and I wished they'd add in some good stuff sprinkled throughout the movie so it would have been a little better. I enjoyed it, but would not want to watch it again. ever.

Ponyo - 9/10 - great little movie, cute, and entertaining.

could you elaborate a bit on your Fargo review (re: the uncomfortable feeling of the scenes)

Have you not watched Fargo? Do so. It's an ummm. odd movie.

I saw the Lightning Thief with my Son. I will say it was good, but had a lot of cheesy parts. It could have been much better.

3 1/2 stars.

yeah I should have noted that I have indeed seen it

I was just curious about why he felt that way (and it's been a while so I've forgotten most of it myself)

lol, three and one fifth stars?

I recently re-watched it. I love this flick. The Cohen brothers manage to swing the mood of a movie from hilarious to uncomfortable in a heart beat.

Watch Millers Crossing, if you get the chance, it's well under appreciated and very good.

Don't get me wrong, I did like the movie, but virtually every scene to me felt uncomfortable in that there was just awkwardness to it (one I vividly remember is where Margie mets up with an old school classmate (the Asian guy), and he tries to sit next to her. She handled it well, but it was definitely uncomfortable. Almost every scene with Lundegaard was that way (great acting on the part of Macy btw) and made me feel sorry for him because he was so pathetic but at the same time, he definitely did deserve what happened.

There were some funny parts, like referring to Buschemi as weird/funny-looking guy generically in a couple of the scenes and margie's naivety was a bit funny , but for the most part, it was uncomfortable to watch.

The Coen brothers are very twisted/weird directors. Fargo was great, but I agree that something was a little off. No country for old men was the same. If you liked Fargo, you'll like A Serious Man as well. Pretty good.
