Yeah, once you see it you'll know what I mean. I'd still recommend it just because it's the only movie of its kind (I think).

Zombie Strippers - -Infinity^2/0 of 10
OK, I didn't make it much past the zombification of Jenna. Craptacular does not begin to describe this. I will coin the term 'leproustanding' because it felt like my eyes were going to melt. Jenna Jameson =/= hot. None of the dancers were hot, actually, unless you're into plastic chicks, or men with boobs.
Zombies infected men into brainless slobs, but the no talent strippers had full thinking faculties? Marines(?) couldn't find the one guy of their unit that they were chasing out of the building and were 10 steps behind?
I've watched a lot of terrible movies (see below), but even I could not tolerate this one.

Human Centipede - 8/10
It's movies like this that keep Americans from traveling. A demented German doctor decides to make a 3-human ATM machine - and not the cash kind. If that is not bad enough,
the whole reason he did it to humans was that he missed his 3 dog centipede
! This is destined to become a cult classic. Surprisingly good acting and story. I am a little freaked out in that the good Dr. looks eerily like my neighbor who spends a lot of time in his basement section. Uh oh.

I watched it based on recommendations from this thread, I had never heard of it. "Art people" annoy me, so this film was right up my alley. (not artists, the douchebags who spend thousands of dollars and claim to "appreciate" it)

I saw Exit through the Gift Shop in the theater actually. Very cool movie for sure.
HOWEVER, google around a bit. There is an outstanding theory that the entire thing was made up by Banksy. That he "planted" this crazy camera guy, fabricated him... the whole 9 yards.

Great, entertaining movie though.

Yep, I was actually wondering that as I watched it and honestly, if it's true, I think that only makes it more awesome.

Yeah it most definitely would. That Banksy basically fabricated the entire "story", plot everything. Flipped it around on himself, sold it off as him reinventing what the Thierry did... it's like Banksy was a triple agent in the movie!

The movie as it stands I think shows how brilliant, talented and, quite honestly, how honest and "normal" Banksy is.

If the theories are true, that he was in on it from the get go... he's a super-genius.

There were countless hilarious parts in the movie I thought. I loved when had all that printed Enlgish money laying around and him explaining that he didn't think of it to be a felony to print it... now what was he going to do with it?!

Robin Hood 2010 - 8/10

Wow I really expected to not like this after hearing about how slow/boring and no action there was. i really really enjoyed this movie and did not want it to end even though it was well over 2 hours. I wanted to continue to see more of the character because they drew me into the beginnings of how Robin Hood came about.

IMO this one blows the Kevin Costner one out of the water. I know it was meant to be a lot more serious than the old one, and the old one was meant to be more fun, but i enjoyed this as a whole for sure.

I've got a serious, potentially unhealthy, man crush on sam rockwell. When I just saw that he is in Conviction, the hilary swank movie, I sorta freaked out...

That actually makes alot of sense. I can see how it could be true. Even if true, it is still genious.


Finally watched Inception last night. Good show.

Inception was OK the first time. Teh second time Liked it much better. It was much easie to follow the stories that were going on on a second watch. The downside was that the movie was just a little bit to long. 7/10. Good not great.

Rounders - 7/10
Good acting overall and presented poker play in a realistic manner. (No straight flushes vs 4 of a kind type of deal) The story sort of annoyed me because it was the standard dipship friend puts main character in a hole and now he was to work his way out. First of all, I wouldn't keep dipshit friends like that around and if we went way back I would try to get him to change his ways with a lot more effort instead of taking it as it is. Edward Norton played that dipshit friend pretty well BTW.

Let the Right One in - 9/10
Awesome, awesome movie. The characters were endearing and the relationship between Eli and Oskar was believeable for such a fictional circumstance. Some of the effects were downright spectacular.
(e.g. face disfigured from acid, human combustion)
. My only gripe might be the distracting spoken swedish language, especially by oskar (he sound like he has a heavy lisp an is always salivating) but that is something that can be easily overlooked. :D

I loved him in Moon.. surprised that he did not get an Oscar nomination for his work, didn't like his role in Iron Man 2 though.

Have you guys seen Confessions of a Dangerous Mind? Rockwell is freaking awesome in that; probably his breakout role actually.

I bet you loved Moon. You can't get more of Sam Rockwell than that. Moon was one of my favorite movies from last year.
