Talk to Me.  Don Cheadle is the MAN!

Be Kind Rewind.  This movie was decent, not great, but pretty good. If you enjoy Jack Black style tomfoolery, you\'ll like it.


I felt let down by that movie.  didn\'t hate it, but it was not at all what I expected it to be.
Everywhere there\'s lots of piggies, Living piggy lives. You can see them out for dinner With their piggy wives, Clutching forks and knives To eat their bacon

I hear ya.  It was a fun "little" film.  Nothing special.  Just entertaining, but nothing great.

not nearly as funny as I thought it would be.  I expected a straight forward comedy, it was not that at all.

I watched The Kingdom last night.  What an awesome movie.  When it was in the theater I remember reading a bad review.  I wish I could remember the name of the reviewer so that I can completely disregard their opinions.  It locked me in right from the start, had one of the best street gun battles I\'ve seen since Heat.



I also thought it gave an extremely balanced history lesson about our involvement in the middle east.  But it never got preachy.

Favorite Quote:

Ellis Leach: Doesn\'t your team in that country represent exactly the kind of... of target that these masters would die for? They\'d trade ten of their own for one of you.
FBI Director James Grace: Not to go after criminals because they might try to harm you is really not a policy of the FBI. See, we try not to say uncle. We try.

The Kingdom was a great movie!


If you\'re a fan of Spinal Tap, you should check out Electric Apricot: Quest For Festeroo.



Claypool\'s character is great and it really hits some of the funnier sides of the jam scene. Lots of quotable lines and def has a good replay value to it.

I\'ve seen the previews.  I sort of felt that I\'m not the "target audience" for this movie.
