Gran Torino - Clint's a stud but the screenplay was a little too unbelievable for my liking. Walt Kowalski's transformation happens a bit too easy and the ending is just ridiculous.

Before that I saw Ghost Town. I'm a massive Gervais fan so the film was fairly easy to enjoy as it was chock full of Gervais style comedy and nuances. Many LOL moments although the ending is rather cheesy.

Strange Wilderness - absolute crap, yet some parts had me laughing my ass off.

Finding Forrester - Refer to a review of Good Will hunting, and subtract .5 stars.

I actually watched this awhile back in the dollar theaters. Although the first part is quite boring. If you can make it through that the rest was pretty funny. Simple message to the movie and some solid acting. I actually watched it again recently on HBO a month or so back.

Yeah i rented that awhile back. With a cast full of pretty funny guys it does kind of underwhelm. Like you said a few really funny parts, but alot of crap.

I watched Miracle at ST. Anna. It's the story of 4 black soldiers who were stuck in a Tuscon village during WW2. It just kind of shows the hardships they had to go through being black soldiers fighting for a country which didn't even want them.

It was directed by spike lee so i decided to give it a shot. It had alot of parts that could have really been taken out to shorten the movie and wouldn't have really hurt the movie. It's no saving private ryan by any means, but it was decent. Parts of it were deff overdone though. I say if you enjoy watching war time movies or movies with a bit of history then rent it. If not then you should prob skip it, it might bore you.

Old School this weekend. We need the DVD of this because we watch it whenever it's on. My older daughter was watching it too, and she's normally too cool to crack a smile, but I caught her smiling and laughing (silent, shoulder-shaking laughter so as to avoid detection) many times.

I have a coworker who I like for the most part, but when he's crabby he's kind of like the Jeremy Piven character.

I paid to see this. I was ripped off. It's shite.

The chair he made was amazing.
