Ok, not going to reread posts so it might already be here but has anyone seen Wanted? I think that is the name...the new Angelina Jolie film. Any good? What about Hellboy II. (the only two movies I can get my hubby too--sad isn't it?)

Word.

He'd be the first to agree, but then again, he'd also have a different view on what is considered to be "great". I'm okay with his likes and dislikes, as long as he keeps on liking me we're good to go. Yes

I don't get it..he hates Jack Black's voice too?? Nacho Libre and School of Rock are both legendary movies in my book. Hope you get to see it. It is good.

Yeah, he's stubborn like that. I told my 6 y/o we'll go to see the movie this coming weekend. He's excited about it.

Check out "Never Been Thawed" if you can find it. Warning: not for the overly sensitive.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

If you liked the first one I think you will REALLY love the second one. Definitely one of the best films I have seen in a LONG time.

I thought that Wanted was great. During the movie I wasn't so sure, but after I walked out and thought about it, I realized that I really enjoyed it. It's pretty bloody, but I'd argue you see much of the same on CSI.

I LOVED Wanted.... and we also saw Hancock....which I thought was great too... kinda twisty at the end which was cool.

Shameless Family Promotion Follows: Big grin

Coming Aug 8--Pineapple Express, from Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan, the Superbad dudes.... My brother is in the first scene of this movie!!! NOTE: It is definite teenage boy humor and not appropriate for all audiences. (That's why it's rated R, people. Wink

)

This is what I do all day.

We're a little behind on movies. We just rented and watched the Chipmunks and the Bee Movie. My 6 y/o enjoyed both of them. The Bee Movie was funny, it had some unexpected funny stuff!

Don't feel bad. My wife and I usually wait till movies come out on DVD before we see them. It's cheaper to rent movies, than going to a theatre, and you don't have to worry about a babysitter.

As I watched The Professional (aka Leon)this weekend, I thought that it would be great to have a sequel to it come out now with Natile Portman all grown up. It could go so many ways... So, what other movies that don't have sequels already be made???

This is old news, but we finally rented and watched The Bourne Ultimatum. Holy. F*****g. S**t. I would say that not only did that movie kicked ass, it kicked asses. Because one ass kicking doesn't do justice to the amount of ass that this movie kicked.

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

The Professional--what a great, underrated movie.

Matt Damon is awesome. I LOVE those movies. Not a bad one in the series.

Finally saw "No Country For Old Men." Intense...I love and hate the ending simultaneously...I did not think that possible. And Tommy Lee Jones is still all kinds of awesome. Javier Bardem is one creepy-ass dude! Josh Brolin...definitely well cast.
