Well, not the movie, but pointed me in the right direction for the leading man enjoyment I was looking for. Wooley Mammoths building the pyramids was just a bonus!

I've been meaning to see 300 since it was in the theaters. Seeing it now, I just wish I had insisted on seeing it when it first came out on DVD, as it has lost a lot of oomph what with the billions of spoofs since then. Even so, I enjoyed it thoroughly. My only issue was that they said "Sparta" a billion times.

Major Husband Bonus Points for putting up with it. It's not often I ask him to sit through something we both know he will actively dislike. I'm not into RomComs or Costume Dramas or Sex in the City...but once in a while I need to see some popcorn-flick action. :)

300 was neat. Lots of Spartan eye candy.

I enjoyed True Grit. The actor who played Colonel G. Stonehill (Dakin Matthews) did a great job, at first I thought they got the original actor (Strother Martin).

Finally got around to seeing Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Cute, but ultimately my feeling is MEH.

Still chuckling, though, over the Universal logo theme customization, and the Vegan powers bit - which was admittedly hysterical.


Oh, and a running joke inspired me to get a haircut. It was getting a wee bit shaggy.

We watched Stardust last night. Very cute movie. Great scenery chewing performances by Robert De Nero and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Oh, and the male lead, Charlie Cox, is adorably cute.

I saw The King's Speech the other night and will add to the chorus of "it was really good" reviews. The only bad part of it was Timothy Spall as Alfred Hitchcock as Winston Churchill. Really, that was a caricature, not acting.

No time to expand on this but... didn't love The King's Speech at all. Fun watching some great actors chew the scenery, but wasn't moved by the story and found the direction relatively artless. I am clearly in a small minority.

Now 127 Hours on the other hand...

Went in expecting to hate it. It was a neat little film. A few "show-off" flourishes by Boyle notwithstanding, the thing held together nicely, thanks to a surprisingly excellent performance from James Franco.

innerSpaceman 02-02-2011 01:14 PM

Have to agree there with mousepod. Oh, except that I don't even have any desire to see The King's Speech, though I do like all the leading actors in it.
