    I remember when every movie I saw was awesome. Bio dome, billy madison, happy gilmore, 3 ninjas, surf ninjas, Hoosiers, dumb and dumber. mighty ducks... 1 2 and 3, I mean I was between 8 and 14. Now apparently nothing entertains me anymore except maybe inception and no country for old men. I saw the town, was bored to death and so disappointed. I think I just am not entertained by movies anymore, I really think that HBO and showtime series have ruined my enjoyment for movies, I think I always expect too much character development or something I really cant put my finger on it.

    The Disappearance of Alice Creed disappointed, didn't it? It's pretty terrible imo. The American is the best movie I;ve seen in theatres recently, but even it isn't great..

    Things I want to see include The Town, Enter the Void, Jack Goes Boatin, Never Let Me Go, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, and maybe Leaves of Grass

    Yeah, I think it is. I didn't even know it was showing, but apparently one theatre has it.

    Hard Eight on Netflix streaming is pretty good, Paul Thomas Anderson's first movie.

    the social network that comes out this week is being praised as one of the best movies of the decade. David fincher directing should be epic

    It was good for 20 minutes or so and then it was a complete fail.

    This is shocking to me. There's nothing at all about the previews that makes me want to see this movie. It seems like making a film out of this story is a huge stretch. You now have me intrigued.

    I just saw 500 days of summer, it was done very well, I just didn't like the ending.

    The only intriguing part is that Fincher is directing. I think as a story it looks pretty lame but I will def. watch it since its a Fincher film.

    Ip Man was an awesome movie that I saw recently.

    It's about Bruce Lee's grandmaster. He was a master practitioner of Weng Chun.

    Donnie Yen plays Ip Man and it has some really good martial arts scenes. His hands are crazy fast. I'm a big fan of Weng Chun it's a bad ass form of kung fu that is rarely practiced today.

    See the movie Unthinkable. It has samuel L Jackson in it.

    I thought it was really good.

    Agree with this. Nothing about it is appealing to me.

    Well its actually still somewhat common, at least where I come from. And I've always spelled it Wing Chun. You could also rent Wing Chun starring Michelle Yeoh, but its not that good tbh.

    If you want the best new martial arts film, watch Ong Bak 3. If you haven't watched any of the Ong Bak series, watch 1 and 2 first. Tony Jaa is just as good as Jackie Chan in his prime, with the potential to be better.
