Yesterday:
Morning Glory with Rachel McAdams & Harrsion Ford. Not bad. Wouldn't watch it again though.

Today:
I watched the the Karate Kid remake earlier. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad and I was dead set against it. Jaden Smith has a bright future, imo.

Then, I followed that up with Youth In Revolt and fell asleep on it. Man, I can't stand Michael Cera.

Just watched Kick Ass today and loved it. I didn't read any reviews or see any real trailers before hand so it was a surprise. Loved the action and the story wasn't all that bad.

Very good action scenes though.

That's on my "To See List". :)

Just watched Vicky Christina Barcelona, I found this to be an outstanding human comedy (but not comedy) and I was pleasantly surprised when I learned it was directed by Woody Allen. :)

Unstoppable- not great but a surprisingly good movie about a train that gets away from it's handlers. Enjoyable. Chris Pine played Kirk's young Dad in the StarTrek reboot.

Working my way though Mission: Impossible - Season 1 on Netflix.

I used to own it on DVD and last time I watched all the episodes was a year or so ago. Steven Hill was hard to beat as Briggs. I sure wish he did more than one season.

I've heard good things about it, but I can't bring myself to watch it. Dudley Moore defined that role, and Russell Brand comes off like too much of a choad.

Russell Brand fits the role because he is an alcoholic in real life lol.

Much greener pastures
"Amadeus, the Director's Cut".

At three hours, kinda long and draggy. Opera scenes go on forever. I can see why the studio cut it. "Too many notes." :D

I'd keep the topless Elizabeth Berridge footage in, though.

Last night, "...and Justice for All." with Al Pacino.

Seen it several times before, but the final courtroom scene is still flat-out amazing. :cool:

Pretty impressive movie. spoiler>You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order! That man, that sick, crazy, depraved man, raped and beat that woman there, and he'd like to do it again! He *told* me so! It's just a show! It's a show! It's "Let's Make A Deal"! "Let's Make A Deal"! Hey Frank, you wanna "Make A Deal"? I got an insane judge who likes to beat the **** out of women! Whaddya wanna gimme Frank, 3 weeks probation? <end spoiler.

Seen that, lots of over the top acting.

I prefer the denouement in Absence of Malice.

Much better acting, all round.

I still liked it. :) What about The Verdict, Paul Newman, washed up alcoholic lawyer? On my list to see again.

Recently saw Little Big Man as good as I remembered it. I really disliked the Army's concept (as portrayed) of sparing women and children...

Knowing- Nicolas Cage thriller, hmm, watchable, happy or unhappy ending depending on your perspective.
