I'm completely addicted to The Office---rent episodes constantly.
No Country for Old Men---interesting. I suggest it.
Brad Pitt's Jesse James movie--I didn't like it.
Woody Allen's Matchpoint-- I really liked it.
August Rush--It's formulaic, sentimental, and rests heavily on the cutes of a child actor...I was covered in chillbumps when it was over. (I liked it...shhh)
Has anyone seen Denzel's mob movie?? (Excited)
i saw full metal jacket by kubrick, (REALLY GOOD) and saw Good Fellas (scorcese)..... i recommend them both
Sophia Sholl-- (Recounts the last six days of a young female, caught by the Third Reicht. A really great movie to me.) In German.
Twisted-- Murder mystery from cop's viewpoint...A bit like "In the Cut". Liked it. Ashley Judd, Sam L.
P.S.-- Laura Linney, the 70's Show kid, Gabriel Byrne... A bit weird, but still better than average to me.
Mr. Brooks-- Wow! I can't STAND Kevin Costner, but he was outstanding in this. An incredibly tight script (my opinion), superb acting (William Hurt!!!) Demi Moore.

Goodfellas - my favorite film of all time.
Saw the Russell Brand stand up comedy DVD last night and laughed so much I spat all over my fella.

LOVE the Office Lash. Do you mean the British one? Got both series and watch them all the time. That's my hangover telly. Not seen the US version.
Last night I watched Farenheit 451
this version

I tried the British version--and although the star--(blocking on his name) is scream worthy--I really like the US version. I think they both contain a degree of regional humor that makes me miss a bit of the Brit show. The Dwight/Jim relationship cracks me up...and there is a sweet little romance...
I saw Idiocracy (2006) and found it hilarious, especially in the small stupid details.
Apart from the above I saw a whole bunch of harmless (teen) comedies (teen daughter made those choices, of course), such as:
- Lovewrecked (Cotton candy)
- Slap her, she's French! (Title from the "Freedom Fries" period)
- Phat girlz (Interesting)
- She's the Man (Cotton candy again, but funnier)
- Imagine Me and You (lighthearted lesbian romance)
And then I also saw:
- Pride and Prejudice (2005; Unfortunately this film does not even come close to the brilliance of the subtle 1995 mini-series. Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen fail to express the electricity that existed between Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. )
- l'Auberge espagnole (2002, quite amusing drama-comedy about international students in Barcelona.)
- Unearthed (2007, Here called Deep Fear, an utterly crappy horror movie)
- Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo (2005, bawdy beyond belief, but the randiness overshadows the humour)
- Paper Soldiers (2003, Can't decide between comedy and drama)
- Living High (2006, Dopehead comedy that could be funnier)
- Joe Dirt (2001, Slightly off the beaten track)
Headin' for the DVD store again (Dang, it was a video store like only yesterday, bro!) while my vacation lasts.
i watched "50 first dates" with adam sandler
so funny
Saw "Sex & the City" yesterday. It was a little too long and just okay. I could have waited for the dvd.
The Dog Problem---with Giovanni Ribisi and a dog. I thought it was a cute diversion.
I just watched Perfume. Liked it...
Young Frankemstein is on TV land right now.
It's too hot outside to enjoy spring.
Rap
Michael Clayton- I thought that the movie was well crafted, but there was one glaring flaw. How the hell did Michael know exactly who it was who was causing all the mayhem? Did I fall asleep, and miss some clues? It all came out of left field for me!
No Counrty For Old Men.
Wow. This film was brilliant.
Cool gun.
Not keen on the ending though.
License to wed. Seven out of ten.
Also borrowed but haven't viewed:"No Reservations", and "1408". Any reviews?
I saw recently:
- Auf der anderen Seite (2007, very good German film. I could not believe it when I found out the old lady was Hanna Schygulla, whom I remembered as the eternally young Maria Braun!)
- White Chicks (2004, totally pointless comedy)
- Elf (2003, even more insipid Xmas comedy)
- Eternal Sunset of the Spotless Mind (2004, Brilliant and moving film. I saw it more or less by accident, because the Finnish title is nothing remotely reminiscent of the English one and they had it on the comedy shelves, for Carrey's sake! Had been wanting to see it for a long time and it was no disappointment.)
