      Saw an early screening of Law Abiding Citizen last night. Enjoyed the movie (suspending all belief, of course), though I will say that trying to speak American makes Gerard Butler's mouth do strange things.

      Couple of things I wondered as I was watching: The lead power characters were almost all black. Would this have been the case if Obama had not won the presidency? It was just interesting, not good or bad. Also, not sure if it was just the make up of the audience, but people were awfully excited about the quashing of someone's civil rights.

        I think that movie looks good...not groundbreaking but enjoyable!

          I saw Paranormal Activities tonight.

          And I say this with a staunch record of laughing at horror movies: that movie is no joke. Very well done.

              I agree. Never would have expected it, either -- it has all the marks of YDFC lameness.

              In a similar vein, Dead End (2003) -- sort of like Wind Chill meets Six Characters in Search of an Author.

                We, against my initial judgment, watched "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story". Very funny riff on biopics, and some of the songs were great. Set the DVR so I can watch it again.

                  Great movie.
                  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.

                    That and Step Brothers are underrated, I mean, it's not meant to be Shakespeare but both are very funny watches.

                      When the GF first suggested watching Walk Hard I thought she was joking, since her taste in movies is usually good and runs towards more serious fare. I'm still chuckling over the scene where Wife 1 catches him with the new wife. "Being married to two people is illegal!" "Even if you're famous?".

                        Those were the only parts that I liked about the movie, the rest was just bleh.

                          Agreed, I saw it on Wednesday as well. Very good movie, although Butler is only a marginal actor, and you're right, it was funny to try and watch him struggle to eliminate his accent.
                          You do have to suspend belief quite a few times. Several iffy plot lines, but overall very good action. A few "Holy ****!" moments, and a nice, if somewhat predictable, twist at the end.

                            I couldnt finish Walk Hard. I found it unbearable. I also tried to watch Semi-Pro. Same thing. Got about half-way through and just stopped. I dont even want to waste my time with Step Brothers.

                              Despite my thoughts coming in, Fired Up! wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It had some funny parts, lead characters had good chemistry.

                                Just got back from Where the Wild Things Are, I liked most of it, there were some seriously dark moments, but I do have one big gripe.

                                The ending, seriously, ***. There was so much lead up to the Wild Things trying to eat Max but in the end they change their minds for no reason. Max lied to all of them, failed to do any of his claims, and even laughed in the face of one of them. Where was the horrible gnashing of teeth? The roaring of terrible roars? Instead we get this nice send off and Max goes happily on his way home.
