    Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

    There is no such thing as a chick flick that is not entirely predictable. Like the guy flick, part of the genre rule is a strict adherence to a very simple formula. If you moved off the expected plot arc even a smidge you'd lose half the audience.

    Heigl wasn't the problem with Knocked Up. Reese Witherspoon could have been in that and it would still have been a dog.

      Moon with Sam Rockwell. I have no idea if you'd like it, but I want more people to see it.

        Awesome movie. And keeping with Sam Rockwell, Choke (2008) is a movie that if you haven't seen, is definitely worth the rental.

It was a horrible chick flick. Predictable plot, and the characters weren't even likeable. I despised both the main characters.
          Not to be too much of a girl, but...THAT SCOTTISH GUY IS SO HOT! Ahem, I agree though - rest of the movie - meh.

          ? Is this in reference to something?

          Huh - I couldn't get through it (which was weird, I liked the book).

            I watched it last week. It was very very good. Sam Rockwell has always been a favorite of mine.

              I saw Made of Honor and thought 27 dresses.

                You fool, you picked the wrong wedding-themed chick-flick with a cast member from Grey's Anatomy!

                  Cyclops is not hot.

                  Scottish guy was the Lucius in Rome. (And now, apparently, is also on Gray's Anatomy.)

                    I Love You, Man:

                    Had decent expectations (better than average comedy) and this surpassed it. I really liked this movie. Explained the "guy thing" very well, had some funny lines, and (forgive me for phrasing it this way) had some good male-bonding moments without making it seem totally gay (slang usage).

                    This is definitely one you could watch with your buddies while having a couple rounds of beer, and have a lot of fun with it.

                    Very much worth watching, and probably would add to the DVD collection.
                    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                          I just watched Leap of Faith...one of my favorite Steve Martin movies of all time. If you havent seen it I highly recommend it. I have seen it probably a dozen times and love it more each time.

                            You pretty much can't go wrong with Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds, or North By Northwest. Usually considered his peak since all 4 were made in succession. That being said there are quite a few other gems out there to see if you look.

                            Strangers on a Train
                            Notorious (Ingrid Berman's best Hitchcock performance)
                            Rebecca
                            Dial "M" for Murder (Grace Kelly's best Hitchcock IMO)
                            Lifeboat
                            EDIT: How did I forget Frenzy?

                            Many consider Shadow of a Doubt his best film. I'm not one of them, but I'll list it anyway cause other opinions certainly are valid. Some like Suspicion as well but I wasn't that into it.

                            And if you really want to run the Gauntlet you can do what I did and watch 33 of the 53 films he was the director on. Totally up to you.

                              I forgot about that one. Some my other faves of his are Shopgirl, and LA Story.

                                five years old now, but i saw The World's Fastest Indian for the first time this weekend. based on a true story, it's about a new zealander's voyage to bonneville and his quest to set the land speed record for a motorcycle... anthony hopkins plays the lead character and does a great job... fantastic film....
