Up in the Air (2009) - Everyone else has probably seen this before but if you haven't and you enjoy well acted dramas this one is great. Clooney gives an Oscar level performance (though he didn't win) but Vera Farmiga is really the true star of the film. If I had seen this movie before the Oscars I would have been rooting for her for best supporting and would have been disappointed when she didn't win.

Whiteout (2009) - Was this even in the theater? For a detective mystery type story this wasn't any better than the standard fare on TV. Even staring at Kate Beckinsale couldn't save this film.

It was in theaters, for a short while. Read the graphic novel, much better.

Watched the Blind Side last night.....wow..could they have made it any more boring. The story is good, but they could have done it more justice than that.

Let me get back to you, will ya, Charlie? I got a guy on the other line asking about some white walls.

I'm hung over, my knees are killin' me and if you're going to pull this (stuff) at least you could've said you were from the Yankees.

Watched King Pin and Law Abiding Citizen both for the first time the last two nights and both were very solid movies.

I haven't seen Police Academy...however, I do own Monty Python and the Holy Grail as well as the 16 Ton edition of their tv shows (not that I've gotten to watch that since a certain bf "borrowed" it about a year ago :p )

Did 'ewe mention the movie she saw for the first time the weekend before last? She's a little behind on some of her classic 80's/90's movies. We're working on it. :p :cool:

No -- I didn't mention the fact. (I had never seen any of the Back to the Future movies. I've now seen them all. :o )

Oh... :o

And grrr....I hate that!

Timecrimes. Very, very good, tight, spare time travel paradox -- Heinleinesque except without his incest fantasies. It is one of those rare movies with almost no directorial or acting cliches or crutches at all.

They are ruining, er, remaking it in 2011 with Tom Cruise in much the way his Vanilla Sky was a flaccid remake of the outstanding Open Your Eyes, so I recommend watching it now.

Timecrimes was great... I hate hollywood and and their crappy crappy remakes of good foreign movies (see REC/Quarantine and Let the Right One In)
 
Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Watched two movies last weekend:

Moon. Very good. An interesting concept, to say the least. An astronaut is on a 3-year solo stint on the far side of the moon, harvesting an element that has solved the world's energy crisis. Towards the end of his time on the moon, crazy **** starts happening and it starts to become evident that he's probably not going back to earth any time soon. There's quite a bit more to it than that, but I won't say anything else, other than Kevin Spacey's voice as the robot is great. :D I really liked this movie.

The Babysitters. The wife picked this one. Basically, a high school girl needs money to save for college, so she starts babysitting, which leads to her sleeping with the kid's dad who pays her a great deal of money. So she starts her own business, pimping out other underage girls to sleep with other dads they babysit for. John Leguizamo is good, as usual, but there's a reason this ended up on a few "Worst movies of the decade" lists. Not recommended, unless you like being creeped out for an hour and a half.
