Big Wednesday. Ever see it? It may be one of those that only connects if you are from that era.

G Force made me appreciate Nicolas Cage anew. Especially on the second viewing.

I would give this the same review I gave Ice Age 3. The jokes all fall flat--even the one attempt at a dick joke--but it works passingly well as a straight-up action flick. Even had a good twist at the end, although the set-up that made the twist twisty was ridiculous.

Steven Spielberg is going to be doing a contemporary new version of Harvey. More power to him if he can pull it off, but I can't imagine why he'd want to.

Anyone else see Food Inc. yet?

Snowflake · 08-02-2009, 09:49 PM

Just watched Bread and Tulips and loved it. Just a charming film and now I want a hot dog phone.

Yeah, i'm so behind. But we were having a Vegas-themed day, so decided for finally see Hangover. TeeHee Hee and Hee.

Really funny enjoyable. Um, and best closing credits in a long, long time.

Have not seen Food Inc. I'm only going to be lectured by one documentary this summer and I've already decided it is going to be The Cove.

Funny People had a weird vibe to it. It wasn't bad, but it felt listless.

innerSpaceman · 08-02-2009, 10:35 PM

Yeah, I wanna be lectured by The Cove, too. Though it sounds like it will infuriate and upset me. Hmmmm, don't know if I'm up for that.

(Though I don't want to sound like I'm putting down Food, Inc. I just suspect that it is covering a lot of the same territory as The Omnivore's Dilemma and his more recent books so don't feel a need to pay theater prices to hear the same information with pictures.)

Not Afraid · 08-02-2009, 11:06 PM

Well, Michael Pollan was heavily involved, so I'm sure there was a lot of the same info (but I haven't read any of his books, so I can't say for sure.)

We finally saw Slumdog and loved it.
