can't believe it's been so hyped. I was severely disappointed. Feels like I just watched lost. A bunch of %!#* thrown at the wall to see what sticks. Maybe if I read up on it ill change my mind.

Moon and Sunshine are

First half of Moon had me questioning what was going on so much. The revelation was great. Ended too abruptly for my taste, but the movie was great and is underrated as hell imo.
Sunshine was just a great story all in all. Great acting and the cinematography was incredible. The final shot in space was

Danny Boyle never disappoints.
Havent seen Primer.

Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid is one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. It was incredibly boring for an hour and a half, the only good part was the final 20 minutes. And its given 5 stars by most critics?

I think it had potential, but they wasted so much time running, still photos with music playing, unexplained characters, it was just sloppy to me. I did like both Newman and especially Redford, but that's not enough to cover all the waste.

Just got back from a Borders that's going out of business.

- LOST: Season 5
- Girl, Interrupted
- Crash
- As Good As It Gets
- life (that Discovery Channel documentary, narrated by Oprah)
- Bad Meets Evil (eminem and Royce)

$80

Hid some stuff for me to go back Friday.
- Iron Man 2 (haven't seen it yet, but I have and like Iron Man, so for $7.50, I'll take it)
- Dark Knight
- Inception
- Shutter Island (haven't seen it yet. What do y'all think? It would be $7.50)
- The Mask
- The Godfather
- Jumper

That would be like $45 if it's all still there. I'm pretty much going to get whichever ones are still in their hiding spots.

I honestly liked shutter island better than inception. I thought it was great

That's funny I used to hide stuff too

The stuff you left is better than what you bought though haha

Shutter Island is worth the $7.50.

Who is seeing the film The Debt that came out today? Currently rocking a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Watched We Own The Night, it was okay. I felt it was too simple and that Joaquin Phoenix's character turned too early and too easily. Yeah, his brother was shot and his dad was killed, but still there seemed to me so much animosity between he and the police in the first 20 minutes, and I didn't see it the rest of the film.

I don't think Mark Wahlberg is that great of an actor, at all. I do like him, but he isn't anything special.

The stuff I left is all stuff I found after sifting and combing for a couple hours; the stuff I bought was stuff that just popped in front of me after like 5 minutes.

I didn't know the store was going out of business, and after getting a haircut, I only had a few minutes to get to the DMV. They told me about the going out of business sale during my haircut, so I just stopped in Borders real quick, like 5 minutes.

Went to the DMV, then back to Borders. Every time I found something... like The Godfather... I was like "Are you serious?!" So frustrated I didn't see it the first time around, because I don't have the money to buy the stuff I found when I returned. So that's why I hid stuff, and I'll see what's there Friday when I get paid.

Ohh gotcha ska.

Finished game of thrones the other day. Awesome book. Made me start reading on the subway the whole time instead of listening to music. Really addicting series. Onage 60 of the second book. Interesting so far

^ I'm finishing up Game of Thrones now, got about 200 pages left.

I wish I was put on to the books earlier, maybe I would have been more prepared for what happened to Ned.

 

Anyone read the newest book A Dance with Dragons yet?

Also watched Inception for the 1st time today.

It was a good movie, but not as great as it was hyped up to be IMO.
