I watched the remake of Funny Games the other day. It was okay. Haneke did a lot of pretty obvious things that I think he wanted people to think were cool and appreciate...like those really long shots that go on for at least five minutes...or the rewinding of the movie. And the sort of pseudo explanation of the movie between the two kids on the boat at the end. whatever.
my girlfriend pointed out it was like the strangers but more upper class, refined and with white gloves instead of masks (well, technically the strangers was like funny games in terms of what came first but you get my drift).
on a side note, I watched Tremors last night for the fifty billionth time. classic fun movie.

Haha, on Encore? I watched it yesterday too.
It's such a classic, but the acting is so bad. Great film to sit around and laugh at with your buds.

the 2nd one aint great but then Burt comes back in the 3rd one and it's total awesomeness. Acting is bad? I never noticed anything bad about that movie tbh, its just awesome

It actually was on Encore, I edited my post. 
Haha, like that part when Kevin Bacon picks up what's-her-face in the bulldozer. She jumps into it, they start riding off, and you hear her yelling "Yaaay! Yaaaay!" Oh gods, I just start laughing uncontrollably every time I hear that.
EDIT: I think Burt is in the second one. Tremors: Aftershocks, right? He's in it. Never bothered with the rest.

Perhaps. Even if a movie sucks, sometimes I like it. These movies entertained me.
Like Street Fighter, love that movie!

I'd rate dark knight at more a 7/10 because it did do very well by superhero movie standards, but overall it left a lot to be desired.
On another note, I finally stopped being a bad film student, and got around to watching The Godfather. Fucking amazing, and I dunno why I put off watching it for so long.

Step Brothers 9/10? Seriously? It had it's moments sure, but they basically wrote 45 minutes worth of jokes and then just did them twice and called it a movie.
One strange thing I did notice when I saw Step Brothers was that a lot of people in the audience would just laugh when the characters swore. This confused me because I didn't think just saying "fuck" made people laugh.

yeah, there's seems to be shitloads of "essentials" out there and it takes a surprisingly long time to see them all, especially if I want keep up with my exploitation films as well.
