Hanna - Pretty good, kind of a cross between a fairy-tale and a hitman thriller. Ebert explains it much better, but definitely four stars. Saoirse Ronan is turning out to be a very good actress.

The butterfly effect 1&2
first one was pretty good but the second one was the same damn thing and kinda boring

Dinner for Schmucks

hated that movie. had less than a handful of lol-worthy moments. steve carell sucks. THERE, I SAID IT.

evan almighty is fucking terrible, date night sucks, and little miss sunshine is fucking overrated. anchorman is great, of course, and i like him in it, but it's the one exception.

Steve Carell is da man!
Well, actually, Seth Rogen is but Carell is a close second.

King's Speech - loved it
Gandhi - as good as I remembered it being, despite how long it is.

Watching The Lovely Bones right now. Tucci is a creepy, creepy motherfucker and Ronan is excellent. Got Atonement lined up next (curious to see how an Ian McEwan novel holds up as a film adaptation), and I'll probably go see Hanna sometime soon.

The Office and 40 Year Old Virgin make me like Steve Carrell. Dinner for Schmucks was stupid, but I don't blame that on Carrell. Haven't seen Date Night, so no comment there. And yes, Anchorman is a modern day classic.

I haven't disliked anything I've seen Steve Carrell in although I did avoid Evan Almighty. Love him beacuse of The Office.

Watched Dan in Real Life last night. That was good.

forgot about the 40 Year-old Virgin, i did love that one. but like you don't blame Dinner for Schmucks on Carell, i can't forget how Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and others also help make it a great movie.

I finally saw The story of Anvil. It was fucking awesome. Man, this should be required viewing for anyone who wants to make it in the music business :dio:

Watched The Cry of Jazz on youtube. Weird documentary from 1959 that argues only black people can make jazz, white people have no souls, and that jazz is dead. I liked the caricatures of negro life as playing pool and dancing, and white life as combing a poodle. cry of the banshee would probably have a hemorrhage watching it lol.

This sounds oddly interesting.

It was! Even though I disagreed with it almost right away I still wanted to see where it was going with its ideas and could kinda see where they were coming from. Like it's a bit of a stretch to call the repeated chord progressions of a jazz song a metaphor for the hopelessness of life as a black american, but it sure sounds cool.
