Just finished watching Law abiding citizen,I thought it was a great movie,I thought the best one Ive seen in a while and I watch a lot of movies.To me,it was better than 4 of the movies i've seen that are nominated for an oscar.Which are
The hurt locker
inglorious basterds
district 9
a serious man

I just saw Avatar in imax 3d,so its hard to top that,I havent seen the other movies nominated.
On another note,I thought a serious man seriously sucked{and I like Coen brother movies} well thats a little harsh,but I didnt think it was that great

I really liked Law Abiding Citizen, but I absolutely loved Inglorious Basterds and I thought The Hurt Locker was definitely good as well. I'd put it up there with them but my favorite movie out of those three definitely has to be Inglorious Basterds. I never saw District 9 or A Serious Man either, in fact I don't think I even heard of A Serious Man. If I have then it must not have been compelling enough for me to remember haha.

Looking forward to Shutter Island this week!

OMG I know can't wait!

Don't see Wolfman, just plain horrible, should have gone to Crazy Heart.

its probably a lot about expectations,I was pumped to watch basterds and it was a little bit of a letdown,plus knowing that the bad guy didnt really die in real life messes with me.

Law Abiding Citizen was a great flick. Definitely caught myself rooting for the bad guy in that one.

Seriously some of you guys are horrible with spoilers. I hate people that reveal spoilers.

Once when I went to the Uptown theater to see a Perfect Storm some ass yelled out the ending while we were all waiting in line to buy tickets to it. Needless to say the crowd made him feel like crap and he ended up leaving the line.

I about fell out of my chair laughing as I read this.

The Expendables (2010 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparently "Expendables" was an easier title than "Stone Cold- Cobra- Commanda-Rambo-Joes-Transproting Universal Soldiers on the Sixth Day because they Die Hard"

Saw Shutter Island very good film worth going to the theater to see.

Had to see it twice lol. The first time i went to the Alamo, got the growler (re-fillable bucket of beer), and about 35 mins into the movie i got drunk and fell asleep! Ha.

So i went sunday to the matinee....Excellent film, just excellent.

^ I am always at risk of passing out in theaters. I usually drink a Red Bull during the previews.

Agreed. This film totally rocks. Scorsese and Leo are a perfect pair.
