    Step Brothers is the best of this bunch. There are a solid handful of great lines and a pretty tolerable plot. Good Saturday afternoon fodder.

      Saw Zombieland. Meh. I really expected it to be a lot funnier. One sequence was fantastic though -- no spoiler coming from me, but those who have seen it will know what I mean.

        Curse Of The Golden Flower:

        Awesome story/plot. Lots of twists and turns, and each of the character's roles/desires/relationships are woven together quite well. Not a lot of action until the latter half of the movie, but that works because of the depth of the story, and the payoff is grand.

        It should go without saying, given the last few movies of this nature (House Of Flying Daggers, Hero, Crouching Tiger), but the cinematography and the contrasting colors they use in the scenery is outstanding.

        Not too much "arty" martial arts stuff (which was one thing I wasn't overly fond of in Crouching Tiger; thought they overdid it), and in fact there aren't too many martial arts scenes at all, which kind of surprised me.

        Definitely recommend it.

          Hero had a lot of artsy fights. Like that one over the lake was the last straw before two ******s who didn't shut up the entire time I saw it in the theater decided to leave.

          I did love the duel in the Go parlor.

            I know Hero had artsy fights. I didn't care for the lake scene, either, btw. And I agree on the Go parlor duel.

            As for Crouching, it was the tree-chase scene that I really didn't like at all.

              We watched "Towelhead" last night. It was ... disturbing at many points, but also an interesting meditation on sexuality, parent-child relationships, race and patriotism. A 13 year old girl masturbating to a men's magazine ... W/T/F?

                Wasn't that one of the very first times anybody had tried that effect, though? I remember thinking it was so bizarrely over-the-top that it must have some reference to Chinese culture and myth I was missing.

                  That fight did seem kind of out of place. The rest were all more straight forward, like the fight before it that was all high action and energy, and it just suddenly flips and does the opposite. Hero on the other hand was filled with artsy fights.

                    If this movie were even remotely real to life there's no way it could ever be shown in this country.

                            Obviously you've never heard my inner monologue when I'm out at the bar having a few drinks. NC-17

                              If you could pick just one movie (be it film or documentary) to maximize the Blu Ray format (sound and visual, don't care about extras), what would your choice be?

                              The first one that comes to mind for me might be Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

                                Not necessarily the whole movie, but I'd nominate the "Blue Danube" sequence from 2001.
