Cats & Dogs the Revenge of Kitty Galore and Step Up 3D.

Scott Pilgrim and The Other Guys. Choices were limited to the remotely acceptable (and unseen) options at the multiplex across the street.

If I'd felt like going farther afield The Girl who Played with Fire and Animal Kingdom would have been on the list.

I'd definitely choose Scott Pilgrim of those but I'd see the Expendables given the right mood.

I may see 'The Expendables', I think the Hubster would like it.

We saw 'The Other Guys'. The Hubster fell asleep. He said the most funny parts were shown in the previews. That's all I'll say. But, if anyone else has seen it, what I thought was of real value was after the end credits. They posted a lot of numbers/facts about big corporations, banks, incomes, what people have lost in the stock market. I didn't see that coming.

Anyone know about this? I tried to read it all.

On recommendation from NY Times critic A.O. Scott we watched Dead Man. Ostensibly a black and white western directed by Jim Jaramusch, starring Johnny Depp (in 1995, before he had a British accent!). But really it's an allegorical journey of death. It's simultaneously completely grounded, and totally other worldly, helped in no small part by Neil Young's score.

I forgot about Dead Man. Going immediately into my queue.

AO Scott hasn't steered us wrong yet. We follow his "Critics' Picks" podcasts and are usually in total agreement with his take on films.

Dead Man is a rad, if bizarre, movie.

What's great about it is that, other than perhaps the train scene, there's nothing that happens that you can point to as "weird" or "trippy", yet the whole thing feels like a psychedelic trip.

I watched The Ring for the first time this weekend. I thought it was pretty good. I prefer Ringu but the remake has some good moments.
