well, saw Lions for Lambs, with Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep, Robert Redford etc.
Clearly a strong political statement, very anti-Bush, anti-Republican, etc.
But, I really enjoyed it, it did a great job of engaging you into the lives of two best buddies who leave college and go to war together, and it definitely stirs the water in all of our lives about what are we doing to change the world; are we actively involved in working to improve the lives of others, or are we sitting back enjoying our comfortable 2.5 kids, fat 401k and a mortgage. Very thought provoking, and made it's points very well.

May have actually seen the worst movie ever made.

At least it's the most poorly acted one, to the point that it'd probably be a good one to watch for laughs with a bunch of high or drunk people to make fun of it.
It's called Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls....may have been a good book, but this movie is a black hole of your time for the evening, pulls a huge vacuum....incredibly bad acting.
OK, I give it a half a star for scenery. But that's it.
Poorly filmed too....excruciatingly long close ups of grimacing faces, pouty faces, surprised faces, etc. No matter what the expression, if it could have been said with words, they tried to do it with exaggerated facial expressions. Maybe they were afraid the actors couldn't remember the dialogs...I had hoped it'd be similar to an Indy Jones, and maybe in some respects it was, but not even close in story or entertainment.
OK, enough....

Looking forward to the Indy movie, may have to watch the trailers one more time

LMAO, Tony, I wasn't aware there was a sequel to another bad sequel.
The first flick was King Solomon's Mines (1985), a lame attempt to capitalize on Raiders of the Lost Ark. I watched it and found it mildly entertaining.
Then came, ack, Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold. I passed on that one. To think they actually took a third stab at this is beyond sad - funny, but sad. (And yes, my friends and I who watched the first also found it amusing that this action "hero" made people think of General Hospital's Dr. Alan Quartermaine. The book that King Solomon's Mines was based on is supposedly a classic.

I saw I Am Legend and American Gangster. Both are very good, but I Am Legend is kind of slow-paced. I think watching Will Smith talk to himself (and mannequins) added to that feeling, although I must say that who among us wouldn't talk to mannequins in any situation where all the other people are either gone or dead.

Didn't know, until this weekend, that Allen Quartermain was the character Sean Connery played in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Although i don't think even Sir Connery could help the Temple of Skulls, it does give me some hope that the character himself was higher quality than portrayed.

Stayed up late last night watching In The Name Of The King, with Jason Statham (Handsome Rob in the Italian Job). My son wanted to see it, since he said he's never been disappointed by a movie with Jason Statham in it...Not disappointed, but not overwhelmed either.
Very King Arthur-ish in storyline and setting, with maybe a shot of Lord of the Rings in it, overall not too bad.

I've seen worse, recently

Rented Mad Money for my wife last night, it's pretty funny in spots, and I have to say Queen Latifah brings a lot to her roles- the movies I've seen with her in them are usually well done, and she's becoming a good comedian actress. The movie obviously is light hearted fare, but still makes me laugh out loud a couple times. Predictable except for one twist in it, and overall a good movie for entertainment.

Also got Untraceable, with Diane Lane as an FBI aagent tracking a serial killer who uses websites to video his victims, the more hits the site gets, the more brutal he is....remember seeing commercials for it, but have no clue if it's good or not; we're hoping to watch it tonight or Wednesday night. The premise sounds very horrifying, so sounds like a thriller to me. Yeah, I'm sick like that

later- are you ready for Indy?

I'm willing to bet that there are people talking to mannequins now.....

What's scary is when the mannequins talk back...we were shopping a few weeks ago, and saw one of the "real people" mannequins, it was freaky, when she changed positions- you could tell it shocked a lot of people. Cool, but I bet it's a hard job....not everyone can be a dummy

Real people mannequins? Hmmm.
Oh, I love Diane Lane. She's a good actress and under-appreciated insofar as looks. I want to see that, too, but have to remember to put it on my list.

I got the chance to watch the Golden Compass. It was pretty good for me, but a lot of sybolisms there that caught my eye.

I caught Iron Man a few weeks ago. Probably the best action hero movie that I've seen. Robert Downy, Jr. did a great job as Tony Stark.
