Da Vinci Code was awful. I re-named it "The Movie That Would Never End". It just kept going and going and I had no idea what was going on. Too bad an actor like Hanks committed to this.

So far, here's what I've heard about the Da Vinci Code.

If you've read the book, you'll hate the film.

If you haven't read the book, you'll have no idea what is going on.

 

I hated the film and had no idea what was going on. :D

I saw "The Break Up" yesterday. I thought it was pretty decent. I'm a big Vaughn fan though. If you're expecting Wedding Crashers/Old School...it's not that type of movie at all. I mean it definitely has funny parts, but it is more about the interaction between two people that are breaking up. I'd say it's more a relationship movie than anything else. I found myself laughing at lines that then turned out to be serious and not so funny...so that was kinda weird.

I took some kids to see 'X-Men'. I have no clue what was going on in the film. It didn't help that I nodded off twice.

My wife and I watched the first half hour of "In Her Shoes", so far not bad. I think Cameron Diaz is hideous, but if you like her, see this film. They really sexy her up.

Anyone see The Omen? The acting was pretty uninspired, but it wasn't half bad as far as remakes go. I just wish Julia Stiles could have had more screen time later in the movie.

I saw it last night. Half of my friends hated it, a few of us liked it. I think a lot of people hated it because they expected to be one of those scary movies where s*** just comes out, but overall I enjoyed it.

 

Some horrible acting at parts of it, but what horror movie doesn't have that. Wasn't bad, wasn't great...solid is what I'd call it.

 

Stiles wasn't looking as good as usual though.

Am I the only one who has trouble sitting through movies? Even in some of my favorite movies of all time (Little Giants and The Sandlot) I have a hard time sitting through it. Maybe I have ADD. Hey look at the stars..

 

I have a buddy like that. Can't sit still for a whole movie, even if he likes it. If he rents something, he has to pause it and go do something else for a half hour. You're not alone, just a weirdo.

Kinda an old movie now, but I find myself watching

 

"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou"

 

alot these days. I never appreciated it before, but man George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson are amazingly perfect counterparts to each other in this movie. If you have never bothered to check it out, I really recommend it.

I'm right there with ya, I either fall alseep or zone out for like 15 mins. at a time and when I finally tune back in, I'm completely lost. Then I have to ask my wife what happened, which usually leads to an elbow to the ribcage and a "SHHH!". I'm the guy DVDs were invented for.

I just got back from "The Break Up." I thought it was pretty good. I'm a big fan of Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Anniston is not bad to look at all, and the hint of Chicago is cool.

 

I have to say the dinner scene is the best.

 

 

 

I hated it. They missed a ton of comedic opportunity, IMO. JA is not funny, and poor Vince looked like he was bored to death not to be able to cut loose with his wit. Seeing her manerisms during the lemon and dishes scenes gave a little taste of why Brad might have left her..

The writing was weak, it felt like they pulled back on the humor so that the film would be taken seriously, but it didn't do a good job at being a serious film either. It got kinda stuck in the middle....but I liked the ending. They have awkward screen chemistry too.

finally saw shaun of the dead. So brilliant. Even being much of a comedy, the fact that they had character development and you cared about the characters made it 10x better than most honest scary movies out there.

Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite funny scary movies (I consider it a comedy myself). Really whitty and just an all around enjoyable flick.

I thought DAWN of the Dead was funny.

 

 

LOL!! For some reason that car crash just as everything is going to hell where one car T-Bones another and they careen in to a gas station blowing up all of the above was hilarious to me.

 

If that wasn't enough, the part where the survivors were writing names of celebrity look alikes for the dude across the street to pick off with a rifle was pretty damn funny also.
