What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
i'm about halfway through Suicide Club. this is fucking boring, but at least the SPLATS are funny.
Reign in Acai
Of Elephant and Man
Ong Bak Thai Warrior fucking slays. If you're into martial arts movies with subtitles, pick this up. The main star (his name escapes me) leaps over cars like he has a dorsal fin. No cable bullshit here!

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Suicide Club fucking blew! what a disjointed piece of crap with near zero character development so all i did was laugh whenever the idiots killed their own dumbasses. lame!

lurch, watched The Island last night. Bad ass flick!! It's fucking great, especially the excellent sci-fi "god complex" themes. In 15-20 years, this will have a massive cult following and be remembered alongside such films as Blade Runner & Logan's Run (in the pantheon of great sci-fi flicks).

haha, man, im starting to think online rental services are a hoax. i find myself renting shit movies just so i can justify paying the $20 a month for the service. last night i watched "death wish". when it was over i just sat there and thought, "man, i just watched death wish."

Yet another of those movies that would need an extra two hours screenplay to fully develop a promising ethical background. Very good theater entertainment, but hardly as groundbreaking as Blade Runner I thought, also too much "falling off a 50-storey building --> not a single bruise" kind of stuff.

glad you liked it, it really toom me by surprise as well. definetelly, the best Michael Bay has done, if there is such a thing. Ewan McGregor really fit the role as well ... his best I think since Trainspotting.
the key to good rentals is the RELEASING THIS WEEK page on Netflix ... some gems on that one all the time ... gets updated on Sundays.

i have gameznshitz. ill never go back to netshitz. i think what im saying is that dollar for dollar, movies dont have much value. i find it hard to watch a movie more than once and MOST of them i feel let down when theyre over. like id been had.
i bought into that whole home theater rage a few years ago and im sorry i did. i kinda wish i didnt even have a TV.
books and music rule compared to movies.

You all should do yourself a favor and google or search on Amazon for a book called "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die," by Stephen Jay Schneider. It's a veritable shopping list of great movies to buy/rent, and is current through 2004 (Million Dollar Baby was the last entry in the book). At $28 or so for 960 pages, it'll quickly become your favorite book about movies.

its also quite hard to watch a movie with a baby. the chances of him sleeping through the whole thing are pretty slim. although he slept through all of "death wish".
