The No Country for Old Men... didn't like the ending.

Saw the Indiana Jones 4 movie; it was good. Also, saw Kung Fu Panda -- great family movie... that Jack Black... he's so funny. Caught I Am Legend on netflix; it was ok -- not good for kids though -- a bit on the scary side.

get smart was really good. funny and clever without getting too... what is the word? cutsie, kitschie?

 
went to see Indiana Jones IV yesterday. Not the best one, by a long shot.

Really glad we had free tickets, or I would have been even more disappointed.

ktulu, I wasn't disappointed, but my expectations were that it was going to be another IJ film era 1980's... it was.

I am going to try to catch Ironman one last time before it leaves our theaters here. I think it may go away this Friday with all the new releases coming out for the big weekend.

What other movies are coming out and that people are going to check out?

What's the new Will Smith one where he's a superhero - looks kind of interesting?

I thought that it was just a little too "goofy."

HANCOCK is the new Will Smith movie. Still not quite sure about that one. TRAITOR looks like it may be a good one. It has the black guy from the Ocean's 11+ movies. (not the black comedian, but the other one, the one that blew shit up)

ummm... African American?

How come we never refer to some one from Anglo Saxon decent as white guy. Like the white guy from Ocean's 11; the one who is the group leader. Just an observation.

 
I also finally saw Indiana Jones and WOW was it completely over the top. I was prepared to like it but can only say it was OK. Switch your brain off and you'll be OK, take it too serious and you'll be miserable.

I take your point, rudy, however, IMHO it is not taboo to say "black guy" as opposed to African American. Take it for what it's worth, coming from this "white guy", the one originally from Florida that now resides in Colorado.

BTW, George Clooney

 
If you trace my family's heritage, it might lead you to Africa. Therefore, I could technically be considered an African American. But I am as "white" as "white" can get.

But I apologize if I offended anybody.

I assume that we don't refer to people of 'Anglo Saxon decent' as 'white guys' b/c in our culture 'whites' make up the majority of the population, therefore describing someone as white wouldn't be as much of a distinguishing characteristic whereas for other ethnic groups it may be. And I don't think there is anything wrong with describing someone as black. They have things like "Black History Month", that doesn't seem to bother to many people.

If you do go to a country where whites are not the majority they certainly do refer to us as white guys. I was just in Dominica and my pasty white ass stuck out like a sore thumb.

 
we saw Wanted last night. F'n weird movie. good gunfire and bloody punch out footage if you're into that. plot? sucked.

I said it was a porno movie for gunfights and physical punch fights. (i.e. shootings/killing/beat downs with a lame thread in between).

JMHO YMMV.

remember I'm old and don't understand the new culture.

So has anyone seen WALL-E yet? This isn't normally the type of movie I am apt to go and see (especially in theaters) but I must say, after I saw it ranked at # 20 on IMDB's top 250 movies of all time (ahead of classics like The Usual Suspects, Silence of the Lambs & Citizen Kane) I must say my interest has peaked.

Even the folks at rotten tomatoes are complementary and they hate everything.

Took the kids to see Wall-E on friday. Thought it was a good little movie. The pixar animation continues to get more and more impressive, the story was simple and sweet, with overtones of social commentary!

Top 20 movie of all time, though? No, not in my book - but of course my #1 movie of all time is Spinal Tap.

We netflixed instant viewed "The Contract" last night. Morgan Freeman and John Cusack. It wasn't much of a surprise you didn't hear more about it when it came out.

 
Saw "Sex and the City" last weel with the wife, she really enjoyed it. I was the only male in the theater, got plenty of "aww he's here with his wife" looks. If it wasn't for the "adult" scenes, I think I would have fell asleep, it just seems that that show was "Sienfeld" but with 4 hookers.

Traitor and Hancock look like they may be interesting. I heard WALL-E was funny, especially when they explain how humans have changed in the future.

The next Stargate movie is coming out July 29th (DVD only), so that will be bought as soon as it comes out!

 
We saw "Breach" recently on DVD.. liked it. It was interesting, but not the best.

Edit: Mary, I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby.. but now I will.
