Saw "Horrible Bosses" a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was hysterical. I mean, it's a no-brainer low-brow popcorn movie.

Going to see Captain America tomorrow with my housemate.

Gran Torino.
 

I have watched Gran Turino. I liked it a lot. I watched it for two reasons. First, I like Clint Eastwood as a director and actor. Second, this movie was filmed in Michigan. Some have thought the storyline is indicative of Detroit, and it's really not.

I have also watched it and really enjoyed it. But I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan, post gunslinger phase. I also found it an interesting aside that it was filmed in Michigan, as I live here.

I watched "I Love You, Phillip Morris" last night. Loved it.

I wasn't crazy about the new Harry Potter. It fell short.


I recently watched Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart and while it was sad and hard to watch it was also very good.

Just got this from Netflix...looking forward to it.

I initially resisted watching it because from the trailers it seemed racist. But I was coaxed into it and told it wasn't really anti-Hmong. It being a Clint Eastwood product, I found the race issue treated with due sensitivity. Like most of his movies (even the westerns) it was really a love story -- love of humankind. I liked it. I own it now too, though I don't watch it unless I can pay full attention. There are always new subtle nuances that I didn't pick up before, it's always deeper and more interesting every time.

I scrolled back a bit and tried to see if anyone else has seen it and posted their thoughts. I did not find anything (although it is late, and I could have that eyes glazed over insomnia look).

Has anyone else seen it? your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Gran Torino.
 

I really wanted to love this film. But I did not.

I'm also not a Jim Carrey fan though I *treble-heart* Ewan McGregor.
I thought the story/writing would be enough for me to get over my dislike of Jim Carrey. But no........There were comical moments, but overall it felt like a chore to watch it through to the end.

I have 'Mao's Last Dancer' at home from netflix; at some point in the next 2-months I hope to have time to watch it. :|

I also saw HP Deathly Hallows Pt 2, and loved it.

The X Files Movie... that's whats on right now.

I agree, it did become a chore. Bad stereotypes and camp. Ugh.

Cowboys and Aliens... wasn't really predictable like I thought it would be, and kinda had you right from the beginning all the way to the end... great!
