At one point, I looked at the rottentomatoes rating for Rambo. It said -1%. That's what I was expecting it to be...

That much? I'm surprised.

I heard a review on NPR and my first thought was - I wonder if Steph will see that today? : )

LOL! I heard the same review and CALLED Steph to see if she wanted to meet on a coast to see it. Little did I know, she was already in a theater in NYC.

U23D sounds like fun. I think it's playing somewhere out here. I know the Hannah Montana live 3D concert film is playing nearby, though, and I'm sure I'd enjoy that just as much.

It looks like it is an unfulfilled hope but I did leave the door open for there to be some quality to Rambo. I was really surprised by how good Rocky Balboa was.

Just a head's up for anybody in the Bay Area. The Stanford Theater is working their way through Hitchcock's career with new double features every weekend through the end of March.

If it turns out they're showing a 3-D print of Dial "M" for Murder I'll definitely be there that weekend.

Just saw Juno last night (small theater almost sold out, the nod got it some attention). I really enjoyed it, lots of fun. They figured out the only way to get me to watch a movie about teen/unwanted pregnancy, and that's have the mother in question react in a hilariously blase fashion about it. Everyone was great, the writing was wonderfully witty...though I have to agree with some of you above, it's a pretty unrealistic portrayal. Again, to me, that's what makes it enjoyable. A real 16 year old's reaction to getting pregnant is not a fun thing to watch.

There were some great, wonderfully quotable lines, some amazing writing, and that much, I loved.

I was not thrilled with the music. Quirky and fun at first, but every song had the same feel to it, no matter what scene was unrolling in front of it, which just seemed lazy. Also, she kept mentioning her favorite punk bands, and they never play any of it, just these upbeat silly songs that I'm not so sure she would like. It didn't jive at all. I did love Mark's character of aging 90's rocker, but again, one 20 second clip of Sonic Youth covering the Carpenters? Where was the music that played such a large part of the interplay between them??

That said - Best Picture? I don't think so. Not that I've seen any other heavyweights this year, but still, I can't solidly root for this one.

^ They played Astrid Gilberto, which is what young 16-year-olds who are into punk enjoy once they reach their parents age. (ahem, yours truly a case-in-point). It was a musical comment on parenting, yeah, uh-huh.

I've been seeing these Rambo posters around town, and I thought they were advertising an anniversary re-release or something. I had no idea it was a new movie. Oy.
