Finished watching "The Grey" last night. Not the action movie I thought it would be but not terrible. They tried to be clever with one of those endings that don't really give you an ending to leave you hanging but I can sure as hell tell you how it would end if that was me though....

Something awesome.
Watched 6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park a couple of nights back. I haven't been allowed to watch South Park for around 5 years now so this was interesting. Coincidently, I've been married for about 5 years now...
A bit vulgar in language, but still interesting and funny nonetheless. It's quite amazing what they do create in only 6 days. Also, I was reminded how old I've become. Their pilot episode with the alien probe came out in 1995. 17 years ago. Sheesh. 3 stars.

I thought that was an awesome documentary. I find it hilarious to watch Trey and Matt doing the voice work and laughing at their own jokes. It's absolutely amazing how they go from brainstorming ideas to a full script, many times with songs, fully animated, voiced, and edited in less than a week. I guess they are lucky that South Park seasons are short. If they had 30 episodes a year, they'd be running ragged.

Did anyone see the comic con documentary? I watched it a few months back and thought it was pretty humorous. I'm not even into comics.

Got around to finally watching Everything Must Go last night.
As was stated earlier, this is not the "typical" Will Ferrell movie. Like Stranger Than Fiction, it displays his actual ability to act without relying on humor to get by. It really is a good movie for such a simple plot and cast of characters. And I'd wreck Rebecca Hall, pregnant and all. I give the movie 3.5 stars. I give that Hall chick a solid 4.5 stars.

Lol. Glad you agree with me that it's a good movie.

Saw The Company Men this weekend. Pretty good film set in 2008 about executives being laid off from a corporation. Well done film that really just dealt with the effects of being laid off without getting too political and screechy.
Also saw, Carnage, which was a typical Polanski film, all dialogue, stupid people acting stupidly, and not much going on.

I watched "Drive" and hated it.
First and foremost, there is nothing remotely interesting about a socially awkward Ryan Gosling.
Second, the chase scenes were pretty mundane.
Third, I am morally obligated to detest any movie that somehow manages to make Christina Hendricks look frumpy and kills her off after about 10 minutes.

Agreed the movie was awful. I don't get why everyone liked it.
I couldn't get past the LLLLLOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG drawn out conversations. Just speak already.

Saw "Lockout" with Guy Pierce and Maggie Grace (Taken, & Lost), a film by Luc Besson, the same guy who did Fifth Element and wrote/directed a dozen other action flicks (Transporter, The Professional, La Femme Nikita).
Summary:
If you thought The Fifth Element was too slow, with not enough action, way too many love scenes, too nice of a villain, and far too coherent a plot line, then this is the movie for you.
But it has a space prison, explosions, a hot chick, and lots of gunbattles and fighting, so I'm forced to begrudgingly give it 3 out of 5 on the awesomeness scale. It's a very weak 3 though.
Oh, and it's rated PG-13 but the hero drops an F-bomb in the first five minutes, so it gave me a nice teaching moment as I sat and watched it with the kids ("Kids, people of intelligence don't need to drop F-bombs.")

Drive was the victim of poor marketting. It was advertised as an action film (which it was not) instead of a drama (which it was).
I liked it, but it was pretty slow.

I've heard mixed reviews on the new Bourne movie. I will still see it but, like all other movies, won't be until after it's on Netflix.
