Aw, and I was so looking forward to that one being an exceptional movie, too.:(

Saw Beyond the Valley of the Dolls tonight - I was so happy to finally get this on DVD - I mean Roger Ebert and Russ Meyers. It was everything I remembered and more, the fashion, the art direction, the dialogue - God, I hope this one makes it the cemetary sometime - it has to be seen with Company - and such an homage to LA and it's decadent entertainment industry.

Having seen that recently on HD Movies, I can say that Beyond The Valley of the Dolls is a great one to pair with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band :cool:

Saw Crank tonight.

It is better than I expected. It has aboslutely nothing in the way of socially redeeming values and couldn't quite sustain itself all the way to the end but it had its moments. As a litmus test, if you found yourself enjoying The Transporter despite its many schlocky faults you'll probably enjoy this one.

With Fearless and The Protector also coming out this month September will be good for fans of hand-to-hand movie combat.

This week's fare will be eithr Hollywoodland or The Illusionist. Might be hitting the Balboa Theater out in the avenues, depends on the choice of my hosts. If not Hollywoodland this weekend, the next for sure, it's playing the Kabuki in Japantown, walking distance from me.

I won't be bored at home, Netflix just arrived with 3 Disney films I've not seen, Robin Hood, Pete's Dragon and The Rescuers.:)

I saw 'Poseidon' on the flight back home from LA. It was so bad it gave me hives.

I watched 'The Wild' also. But I refused to put my headphones on to listen to it too. :D

We just watched 'Match Point'. Loved it. Wonderful flick.
:)

I just was forced to wach RV. Luckily I kept thinking of things to do in the other room so missed a good portion of it. Really really bad. Even the munchkin got bored and thought it wasn't funny.

I watched about five minutes of RV, and then decided to clean the bathroom.

I saw The Protector the other day. Unfortunately Mr. Harvey Weinstein has decided that the way to handle an Asian martial arts movie is to cut all exposition (who wants to watch the yelloe people talk, eh?) and redub it with a hip hop soundtrack.

But it is still a sight to behold. Tony Jaa is quickly turning into the next Jackie Chan (but without the humor) and if you have any appreciation for the martial arts genre of movies there are two set pieces in this movie that absolutely must be seen.

If you don't have much appreciation for martial arts movies you will want to stay away.
