OK, so... instead of starting a new thread for every movie that I decide to watch, I'm just going to post them all here to get feedback. Feel free to drop your own titles. Porno's included.

Avatar - A fan. Thought that it lived up to the hype, however I did not see it on a high def screen.

Blind Side - Eh. Good story.

2012 - OVERdramatic and far fetched.

Zombieland - Win

Boondock Saints II - Awful

Where the Wild Things Are - W.E.I.R.D. I don't remember the book like I thought I did.

Hachi - A Dog's Tale - Watched it with the family. A touching story that I don't recommend for anyone. SAD and depressing.

Alvin and the Chipmunks I & II - Another family selection. Good movies. Big fan and my daughter LOVED them.

Sherlock Holmes - Had to watch it a few times, but I really liked it. Thought it was a great movie.

Hurt Locker - GREAT movie, IMO. I like older, action packed, PRO war movies better, but I liked it.

Couples Retreat - Liked it. A good, funny movie to enjoy with the spouse. Malin Akerman is very attractive.

Men Who Stare at Goats - Turned it off towards the end.

The Informant - Awful.

Up Next:
Ninja Assassin
Brothers

You'll like Brothers. It is a much better than average flick.

I watched "Leap Year" last night. My wife went to the Red Box. The movie is pretty far fetched but it will keep your interest.

Don't rent "everyone is fine" starring DeNiro. The movie sucks and you will be depressed for weeks after watching it.

If you haven't seen District 9 yet it should be on your list of recently new movies to watch.

I am pretty sure he was pulling your leg. I've never watched Elephant but I've heard it is a movie about some kids who gun down students at their high school. (A lot like Columbine) and I have heard it is pretty gritty. It's always on IFC

I am a big Vince Vaughn fan but I have been disappointed with his latest offerings. I watched Couples Retreat and I'd give it like a 4-5 out of 10.

Rented "the messenger" tonight but didn't watch it. Anyone seen it, and is it worth watching?

Shutter Island wasn't bad...definitely one of the better movies I've seen in awhile.

I thought the ending was overly explained - in other words, they went above and beyond in tying the plot together when it wasn't all that difficult to figure out.

Just watched Brothers last night. Very good flick. Not the high action, gory movies I have been watching. Really made me think a lot about some stuff. Honestly, when the little girl tells her dad that she wishes he was still dead and that she'd rather have her uncle Tommy... that's what spurred my thoughts on the whole adoption thing.

I liked Brothers a lot. I thought it could probably be a true story in today's world.

One thing that didn't make sense though was why did they have a funeral if they couldn't confirm he was dead? Also the scene with his buddy at the prison camp was fucked up.

Just watched The Hills Run Red. Terrible movie. Interesting plot, but acting was terrible. Some nice boobage, but that's about it.

Next up in the next few days...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Leap Year
District 9
The Lovely Bones
Halloween II (Rob Zombie)
Pandorum
