Believe it or not, I've never seen Braveheart.  :o

Christ, I thought the SNP would have made Braveheart a compulsory watch in Scotland.  :D

Kinda follows the biblical maxim that goes: A prophet is never welcome in his own town. (They would rather stone him.)  8)

Stoning doesn't had the umph these days, as it used to do. Nowadays, we prefer throwing beer glasses here in Ingerland  :D

"Total Recall" is a total waste of time... I liked it better with Ahnawld.
"Diary of a wimpy kid" was cute
"magic mike" pretty funny but kinda "meh" at the same time...
"the watchmen" One of the best movies I've seen for the 100th time in years.  I really love the parralel universe of the watchmen where so much history is involved yet it's still skewed by the story.  I've been reading the comic series "before watchmen" and it's spurred me to download this classic once again... anybody into comics i highly recommend this series.

"jiro dreams of sushi" was also surprisingly good!

Terrible movie-didn't laugh once. Another reason to hate stoners. I love getting high, but hate the cultural milieu that surrounds it. The last good stoner movie was "Up in Smoke". Which was released when the Shah still ran Persia.

beyond not being funny at all, it had terrible dialog.  i just couldn't take it.  my friend's love of this movie has knocked him down a couple of pegs, to be honest.

But it's from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe!...Crickets, Crickets, Crickets.

  Comedy troupes and improv groups are to comedy what genital warts are to sex.

      And there are few things worse than somebody saying "I'd thought YOU would like this" and then they put forth a Pauly Shore/Billy Crystal movie or some revolting shit that could easily lead to a justifiable domestic battery. "Yeah, you know me so well, there's nothing I like better than a Martin Lawrence/(fill-in name of generic white actor) buddy film"

That's the proper response to this "National Lampoon" :'( inspired crowd who also gave us the celluloid smegma "Club Dread" and "Beer Fest". Two movies that make a person regret that they defied crib death.

I'm not a big sushi fan but I love eastern philosophy.  It's amazing how much pride a man can take in such a seemingly simple job.  Old wise Asian dude's can make shoveling shit seem like a spiritual calling.  If you can deal with subtitles I suggest you download it.

The Cabin in the Woods Trailer 2012 HD

It's Drew Goddard and co-written and produced by Joss Whedon.

it's not what you think.... cuz it's Joss Whedon....   8)

I just watched Damnation Alley with George Peppard and Jan-Michael Vincent.  I'm a '70s movie freak, especially horror/suspense and disaster.  They don't make actors like George Peppard anymore.  :-[

Those giant Scorpions freaked me out as a kid. Just like the fire inducing cockroaches of 1975's "Bug". And the worms of 1976's "Squirm".

            RIP to Banacek.

Just the front cover of 'Squirm' (in the video shop) caused me endless sleepless nights as a kid, and a permanent horror of showers. Thanks for dredging that one up. Maybe I should go watch it finally.

I saw that movie on a "Creature Double Feature" when I was 7. I couldn't eat spaghetti for years after. Fucking Hollywood giving me even more neuroses, like I didn't have enough already at that age.

I haven't psyched myself up enough to watch Squirm yet.  I've seen the trailer many times, and that's as far as I've gotten.  I'll get to it one day.  The roach scenes in Damnation Alley were horrible enough.  Paul Winfield's character died a horrible death.

Winfield's character in "The Serpent and the Rainbow" may have had an even worse demise. Which is saying something.

I've only seen bits and pieces of The Serpent and the Rainbow, and that was years ago.  I'll have to check it out.

      I've been confined to my VHS sector of the bunker(foot bothering me) so I've watched three old films that I taped off cable many moons ago.

        "The Dogs of War"(1980) with Christopher Walken

         "The Laughing Policeman"(1973) with Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern

          "Carnal Knowledge" (1971) with Jack Nicholson and Ann Margret.

           and some vintage Howard Stern episodes from the fall of 1991.

        "Oh we won't give in, we'll keep living in the past"....quoting a 43 year old Jethro Tull song as proof.

Whoa thats some early Walken stuff there!  I normally don't watch older movies but recently enjoyed finally watching "the andromeda strain" which i think was like 68?ish.

The Andromeda Strain was '71(March 12, I think)...but who's counting, other than OCD nuts like me. A really young Walken is in "The Anderson Tapes" from June, 1971

         I worked with a bunch of Haitians as a kid...and when they'd argue(quite loudly) I'd expect someone to blow dust in another's face, and then have that guy collapse with a scorpion in his mouth. They never did anything that cool though...it was usually screwdrivers that were used.

Currently half way through the "Auschwitz Inside the Nazi State" documentary series.  I'm a sucker for WWII movies and docs. After recently watching a slew of revisionist movies I decided to check out some of the better "propaganda" films.  I find myself somewhere in the middle of that little mess.  Don't think it happened the way it's written... but can't understand how some believe that shit didn't happen at all.
