The Departed

Yosh was fairly keen to see this movie.

It was good.

They should know by now how to make mobster movies.

The Illusionist

I immediately saw this movie as a prequel for The Fantastic 4.

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

I liked this movie very much, which surprised me.

I had watched what I saw (and contributed to) as a great and respectable project become dirtied with what looked to be a dating game or worse.

This movie actually started to make me laugh about some of the real life things I have been enduring since 2003.

Layer Cake

I saw this DVD at the video rental and said something about it being a cool name for a movie. It was rented and watched.

It was a well written and well acted crime drama.

Every Italian Needs to Make One Mob Movie

Vin wasn't playing the role of a Jew in a Shakespeare comedy; he was playing an Italian. Many of the qualifications to make this role believable were already met. Then the director, Sidney Lumet for this mob movie; he directed a few of my favorite movies.

Here is the conversation when the dvd was returned to the rental conglomeration outlet:

clerk:
I liked that movie. Vin Diesel did really well with the dramatic role....
carol:
Yeah, I liked the movie -- I don't think I have seen him in a non-comedy yet though.
carol (what I wish I would have said additionally):
Although, I haven't seen [points to display thing behind her] that one yet. That one might actually be a tragedy....

like enduring seventh grade all over again

I am in a difficult position -- I have to admit to watching a movie in its entirety or I have to deny saying the funniest thing I have said this year....

It's All Gone Pete Tong

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
hmm hmm humm hmin'
Plays by sense of smell.
Always has a replay,
'n' never tilts at all...
  

See this movie and Tommy on the same evening.

Pitch Black

Yosh owns this DVD.

carol:
Those scary black critters, the first ones not the big ones that look like people dressed in costumes, the little ones that rip your flesh from your bones -- they look like they morphed into the bats for Batman.
yosh:
I don't see what you are saying.

Sideways

Long ago, I was given the basic wine training that they gave waitstaff who were to work in establishments of fine dining. I was a bartender then and I did not get the book. The restaurant that wrote the book came down with the World Trade Center, if I remember my education correctly.

At that time, 1988, I remember picking a few names and varieties that would be my fallback in the case I was ever among wine snobs and needed to sound like I at least once knew what I was talking about.

After seeing this movie, I realized that not too much has changed.

Shaun of the Dead

This is one of those great movies.

A rented DVD that I would like to own.

Shaun of the Dead.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

On the recommendation of Henry Rollins I started to see Wes Anderson movies.

This one was funny also.


Bottle Rocket

If Wes Anderson movies are like wine, this movie would be his Beaujolais Nouvous.


The Royal Tenenbaums

The part I loved so much about this movie was the race that Royal had with his grandsons on the tricycles.

I recommended this movie to my dad. He warned me that he has a very short attention span now.


Rushmore

In many ways, this movie was not so funny. That teacher lost her job.

almost perfection

This movie completely surpassed my expectations.

Fight Club

The inhabitants of #gimp on the irc were talking about this movie and Lord of the Rings when I first joined there in 2001.

They mentioned that in the movie, the main character made soap. I told them (quite honestly) that I made soap. Then they explained what the soap in the movie was made of.
