Saw Brave - Loved it. Don't think my wife has laughed so much at a movie in a long time.

Eden Lake. I want to beat those kids so badly.

Caught Prometheus in 3d at the dollar theater. I think that it was unquestionably a good movie. Not fantastic, but well-acted and well-written, and gripping.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS:

I think I'd call the film a "spiritual reboot" of Alien. The shared universe and fan service certainly contribute a lot to this (as does the unapologetic explanation of the decades-old mystery of the "space jockey"), but there were a lot of little shared plot points and parallels you could draw between the two films as well (I think the automated surgery scene was this film's chest burster :3). On the other hand, Alien was a far more focused film. Prometheus seems to have a much broader scope, where the alien creatures in question aren't necessarily the major driving force. Part horror, part philosophical exploration, and part blockbuster. A few hard-to-watch gore scenes, a few spectacular CGI moments, a few discussions about human origin... so it at once feels very much like Alien, but very different as well. Odd, but not necessarily bad.

I liked the creatures, but I never had a very clear grasp of what they were, how they functioned, or how they were all related. This added a certain sense of mystery to everything, but it also left me feeling a little confused about some parts. Why did that one crew member come back to life as some sort of super zombie? You can guess and deduce, but nothing makes complete sense. Or why did the creature that grew inside Shaw in turn end up spawning an Alien-like creature inside the evil space jockey at the end? Again, not a plot hole... but I would have liked some sort of consistency or recognizable functional pattern to creature behavior.

I also had some issues with the quasi-cliffhanger ending. Not sure why it was necessary, unless Scott is planning a Prometheus 2. Oh, and the 3d was well-done, but a little underused. Or maybe just more subtle and reserved than we're used to seeing.

END SPOILERS

There's a ton of other stuff I could nitpick or talk about, but I think that it was ultimately a well-made sci-fi thriller, and impressively managed to make the ruined Alien franchise feel fresh and exciting again (despite, or perhaps because of, it being technically a different IP). If you can deal with some of the violence (and although there's not a lot of it, it's pretty brutal when it does occur), and haven't already decided to pick it apart, I definitely recommend it.

This was the last movie I saw also. There are two scenes in which it did make me cry, but Pixar movies are ones that usually do.

In terms of upcoming, I'm definitely going to see The Dark Night. Current movies, I'd like to see Ted and Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Answer me this. Was it more 'Up,' or 'Ratatouille?'

I wouldn't compare it to either. More of a Robin Hood / Train Your Dragon feel if I had to compare it to something.

I Love You Philip Morris was freaking hilarious and, if I didn't know better that both of the lead actors weren't gay, was very well done.

Borat - best movie ever IMO for laughs.

Last seen: "Wanderlust" - Paul Rudd's bathroom mirror monologue alone makes it worth the price.

Hmm... that sounds rather nice. The whole "empowered female" schtick that the movie seems to be going for put me off a bit, but I still might want to see it.

I hated Ratatouille, but liked Up. That's why I ask :P

Last film I saw was Prometheus, and I highly recommend it. It takes all the best parts of Alien IMHO and builds an entire movie around them. Basically, take Alien up until the facehugger attacks, and snip off the horror movie, and you have Prometheus. It's all about mythology, religion, philosophy...sooooo good.

Space Jesus died for your sins. On a less silly note, my father and I thought it should have been about thirty minutes longer to help flesh out the characters. Thankfully the blu-ray will have twenty minutes of extra footage.

Really? RIdley always delivers on the DVD/Bluray extras, though I am still pissed that the Kingdom of Heaven directors cut hasn't yet made the jump to highdef intact.

Just saw Promrtheus and it was OK. A little to much 2001: A Space Odyssey and not enough Aliens

The local Blockbuster closed a while back so we scoured the shelves for dirt-cheap movies. Still making our way through the pile, and we watched "The Foot Fist Way" a couple Saturdays ago. I really got a kick out of it. Bwwaaahahhahhhahhaa! Get it? "Kick" out of it?!? I crack myself up.

But yeah, it was pretty durn funny to me.
