you know Tom Hanks made some stupid movies early in his career also!
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!! Joe Versus the Volcano was one of the greatest movies ever! It came out when I was a kid still working at the movie theatre. There were a few of us that would always make sure we got in to the theatre in time to sing along to the cowboy song (when they're afloat on the ridiculously huge luggage).

 
Have you at least tried to watch Stranger Than Fiction? It's not the typical Will Ferrell type of movie.
No I haven't, although that one did peak my interest. But I've been burned so many times by Ferrell before. I'll get you Trebek!

 
Lol. All throughout the movie I kept thinking how gumpy and awkward he is. It wasn't a typical Will Ferrell movie either. Kind of like a serious comedy.

 
I finally got around to watching "Ip Man" based on the EB recommendation and was not disappointed.

One highlight was seeing this laid-back, smiling guy go Kung Fu all over everybody, but never really hurt them

... until they made him mad, and then he dispatched them with brevity.

I actually had to rewind at one scene to confirm, "Yup, those guys are not just stunned, they're dead. Wow that was fast."

I've got a project engineer that always wears glacier glasses, with mirror lenses and the side protectors. On a night paving job no less.

After watching Men inBlack 3, I'm convinced he ha tentacles instead of eyes under there.

 
Two good independent films we saw this weekend were 96 Seconds and We Need to Talk About Kevin. Both of them were jump around in time type movies, but were done really well.

 
I saw The Gods Must Be Crazy over the past few nights.

It was funny, but not the level of funny I was expecting. I guess people had a different view on humor 32 years ago. Nevertheless, it definately fits the bill as a "cult classic". I'll give it three stars.

I wish I could speak that clicking, African language.

 
I'm excited about it, but nothing I have seen to date has really been all that interesting. Not digging Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, and all the daytime scenes with a scrawny looking Bane are just seeming kind of meh.
