I def recommend \'The Tunnel\'. It\'s about 3 hours long but there really isn\'t a dull moment in it. The character development is fantastic and the acting/plot really takes you to highs and lows throughout, as if you\'re there in the movie. It\'s based on a true story too. Very well done and if you\'re looking to add something to your Netflix queue, look no further.

Saw Ironman this weekend and really enjoyed it.

Netflix recommended "The Bicycle Thief", liked it up until it ended, then became really disappointed.

Heh, just added The Bicycle Theif to my queue per Netflix\'s suggestion.

Saw this after work last week. Great to see a movie being one of 8 people in the theater. I thought it was the best Marvel comic movie that\'s come out so far. The soundtrack was great that slow heavy guitar driven thump that went along with everything.

I saw "August Rush" OnDemand over the weekend. While the storyline is really cheesy, I dug the music in it and the idea they were going for.

check this one out too:

I looked for it on youtube so I could post it directly but they all sucked.

We watched \'Death At A Funeral\' last night. It was really funny and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comedy. The outline from Netflix isn\'t a good gauge of the plot as so much more happens at the funeral, but here it is.

Quote

The funeral for the patriarch of a wealthy but eccentric British clan is turned topsy-turvy when a stranger appears claiming to be the dead man\'s gay lover in this dramedy directed by Frank Oz and starring Peter Dinklage, Matthew Macfadyen and Rupert Graves. The dysfunctional family grows wackier as the deceased\'s sons decide they can\'t let the rest of the guests get wind of this revelation. But can they get the cat back into the bag?

Yeah, I flipped when Suicidal Tendencies "Institutionalized" started playing. I haven\'t heard that song in decades, but back in 8th grade it gave meaning to life.

My sister recommended this movie, saying it was one of the best movies she\'s ever seen. I almost drove to her house after watching it to punch her stupid face. Robin Williams... WTF?!! His character is what Bono is gonna look like in another 20 years... and it\'s really sad.

However, I will agree that SOME of the musical stuff was cool. Kaki King contributed to the soundtrack, and that slap style guitar is pretty freakin sweet. However when he got into the orchestration stuff and they kept slippin\' that Van Morrison tease in... pretty cheesy!

I watched "Amen" last night, it is very similar in story to "Schiendlers List" (people trying to help during the holocust), so if you like that kind of movie, check it out.

Quote

The amazing thing about this film was the powerful effect it achieved with very little, if any, shocking footage. We are conditioned to look away from all the "standard" holocaust images - the drawn faces, the gaunt skeletons, the bones in the ovens, the piles of shoes and personal effects. Instead, Gavras uses Gerstein\'s involvement with the engineering side of the issue, and paints a chilling picture of the magnitude of the killings. The project management meetings where they discuss the efficiency improvement strategies for gassing people and cleaning out the chambers are eerily similar to meetings I and many other Dilbert-types attend on a regular basis. The final scene at the camp where all the SS facilities officers chorus their concerns over decreased KILLING efficiency is ridiculously chilling. These guys could be whining about their bottom line numbers at a board meeting for any major corporation.

It really is quiet chilling.

For you WWII nuts, Downfall is a must see. It\'s the last days of the Third Reich and it takes place in Hitlers bunker below Berlin. There are so many WWII movies told from the perspective of the allies that it\'s really amazing to see the last days from the Nazi POV.

I certainly wouldn\'t even remotely call it one of the best I\'ve ever seen (your sis has some taste in movies) Yeah it\'s too bad I really like Robin Williams too.

yeah as I said really cheesy. Once he passed all the guitar stuff it went downhill.
