Shit was good, But I made sure I watched that shit during the day...:lol::lol::lol:, I Don't Fuck With Spielberg that Bastid looks CraJy, But he always got some nice films, I'm waiting to go cop another couple of joints, :dunno: the name but It's got Sam J in it... There's others, but I never really pay attn to the names I just QQ for certain actors, I wanna peep the new Will S... shit, and that new joint with Morgan Freeman, But fuck going to the Theaters and the Bootlegs are always fucked up unless u can get a good screener, Nah Mean And my man who worked at the Theater who dropped CraJy screeners on me, But he moved, So i'm ass out right now...But I'm waiting on that Kung Fu Panda, dying to watch that shit on my Big Screen in H.D. with my kids on surround sound...:jackoff::jackoff::jackoff:, But I know it's going to be a min for that...

Yeah. I ended up watching The Mist with my brother at like 11pm. I hadn't slept much during the day (after a nightshift the day prior) so I faded out around 3/4 the way through the film.

The new Morgan Freeman flick ... you mean that upcoming one WANTED (which also features Angelina Jolie and others)? That shit looks kinda hot, no doubt.

I've been hearing good things about Kung-Fu Panda.

I'm gonna check out that SHARKWATER documentary in a minute here. Gotta lend it to a fam' member of mine tomorrow morning.

i wouldn't recommend em otherwise


cashback is about a cat that has a bad breakup and gets insomnia. he gets a job at a grocery store to do something useful with his time and hilarity ensues. it doesn't sound exciting the way i describe it but i don't want to give away anything. you'll have to trust me.

every black man should see traci townsend. it's about one of those "gotta have it all" sista who looks back on her life and wonders why nobody married her. black women will hate it and feel depressed while watching it but black men will laugh the whole time.

Cashback was the shit.

I downloaded TT last night. All I could do was shake my head. It was good to see Mari Morrow (I'd put the "Quadigree" on her something fierce).

I recommend I'm Through with White Girls (The Inevitable Undoing of Jay Brooks).

In Bruges

Redbelt- The ending did leave something to be desired but Chiwetel Ejiofor was good in it.

Excellent documentary about the fighters, the turbulent times and the eventual slugfest. Came out in '03 but I only caught up with it recently.

Props. I heard/read alot of good reviews for Colin Farrell's flick you mentioned up top.

How was Rodger Dodger? I wanted to check that flick out a handful of years ago. I'm a fan of Jesse Eisenberg. Believable young actor (his kid sister is the shorty from many years back who played the cute girl in all the PEPSI ad campaigns and shit).

Charlie Wilsons War was really good.

They watched it at work the other day.

I didn't get a chance to check it out.

I picked up THE DARJEELING LIMITED the other day. Gonna check that out (and pick up one last free rental with the Blockbuster coupon expiring tomorrow) ... tomorrow afternoon.

Roger Dodger is good. Eisenberg is believable as an awkward teenager who wants to learn about women and Campbell Scott is always good when he's playing an asshole. Personally I like the way his character is willing to be a complete jerk in order to help out his nephew. You'll know the scene when you see it.

Sounds like you didn't even make it to Meagan Good in that movie. It's different but I enjoyed it.

The Lookout :yes:

Thanks for the feedback. It's definitely one I'ma check out eventually.

I still haven't gotten around to THERE WILL BE BLOOD as of yet. It was due this morning ... but I've been gassed the past week. Schedule's a bit awry. Tired like a muthafucka. Tried to watch it on Saturday ... but knew I couldn't do it justice 'cuz I was fading out too much. Gonna watch it tonight or tomorrow.

It's all good, man. I can't think of any off the top of my head right now. What genres are you most into?





Finally watched it last night. Great. Daniel Day Lewis is one of the greatest actors of the past 2 + decades. The man knows his craft. He did an excellent job as 'Daniel Plainview' in the film. When he plays a role ... he puts his all into it. My Left Foot / The Last of the Mohicans / Gangs of New York / There Will Be Blood, etc. Big ups to the man on his awards over the years.



And here's a nice short clip of Eva Mendes from We Own The Night. Good film. Caught it with my brother a month ago on dvd. Mark Wahlberg / Robert Duvall / Eva Mendes / Joaquin Phoenix. Good shit.

Helluva movie with a great cast and a lot of action. I love historical action dramas. This looks like the first in a series about the boy who became Genghis Khan...

Outside of that opening scene :)eek:) We Own The Night was a big disappointment...

I was also disappointed with There Will Be Blood, but that was prolly cuz I had no idea what it was about, and the title through me off...

THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE!!! I was surprised at Justin Timberlake's acting skills too.

But I felt so bad for the little boy for real. I mean he as good dude and he knew karate. If he really knew he were in trouble, he would've been beat dude's ass and ran away. But he thought they were his friends. Everytime I watch the shit even though you know what's gonna happen cause it's a true story, I hope they have an alternate ending.
