Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantonamo Bay

It was exactly as expected. Though it did have one scene with a lot of hot women with no pants. Worth a few bucks to rent if you like slapstick movies. Cameo (of course) by Neil Patrick Harris.

Oh. There's a "Search this Thread". I didn't know that.

Saw Hellboy II yesterday. It appears to be several different movies smashed together, and not necessarily to good effect. It is apparently the chick flick of this year's superhero crop.

Saw Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay Uncensored. Funny, but not as funny as the first one.

My review of Swing Vote. There were things I liked in the movie (hopefully the Dennis Hopper anti-abortion ad shows up on YouTube). And both Kevin Costner and young Madeline Carroll give good performance; unfortunately they aren't really performances that go well together.

Tone is all over the place, and not in a good way and ultimately tears the movie apart.

It just occured to me that two Kevin Costner movies I like are not available on DVD in their theatrical release form (JFK and Dancing With Wolves.) I love these movies, but the "special editions" suck.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but Dancing With Wolves won the Oscar for Best Picture. How could THAT film not be on DVD??? Lame.

It's Dances With Wolves. Isn't that the version, or is there some minor tweak that doesn't make it authentic for you? It's the same running time as the theatrical release, according to IMDB.

Hahaha, yes, know the title of the movie you want and that might help. (Ugh, so little sleep last nite).

But, thanks. Actually, i've seen the theatrical version on DVD before, but always in pan&scan.

Cool beans. Heheh, find JFK for me, will ya??

Couldn't sleep last night and stayed up and watched Red River. One of these days, I will go into a scene by scene analysis but this movie has a big-time gay subtext.
Also, Clift is wonderful eye candy to look at in this movie but boy he's a stiff actor (no pun intended). I mean, his face barely moves when he talks!
I love seeing Wayne playing the heavy. He does it well. It's one of three movies I can stand watching him in. The other two being The Quiet Man and The Searchers.

Funny, those last two are among my least favorite Wayne movies.
