| XC, were you a fan of HBO's "Big Love" ? Xc-wife Seyfried was pretty good in that as a youngster.

| I just saw White House Down . It was better than I thought it would be....
It started off a bit pedestrian...but it took a fun tack.
The little girl makes the movie. |

Finally saw this flick that stars xc wife Mary Elizabeth Winsteadcrazed. She plays an alcoholic wife/teacher who starts going to AA meetings despite having a drunk hubby. MEW is really great in this role & deserves an Oscar bid. Course i'm biased cuz she's in the harem but still! |

| I just saw The Heat w/Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy..
IMDB gives it 7/10 My newspaper gave it 1& 1/2 outta 4
Its somewhere in between.... Its not bad but certainly not great...
I really like Sandra B.....Shes damn charming.....always..LOL
The movie needed a bit more humor... Do you remember when comedies were funny..? |

| "The Way West"
Caught this on Turner Classics. Kirk Douglas, Robt Mitchum, buncha stars from the '50s & '60s in a western where they head to Or-uh-gone from Miss-yer-uri. Some silly scenes some koolage. |

| I saw Elysium which I was quite looking forward to but it was more than a bit of a disappointment.
Why dont Hollywood people find BETTER sci-fi books & ideas to make into movies...
I cant imagine who looked at that script & said "WoW! ..This will make a great Movie!" |

| "The Story of a 3-day Pass"
Have owned this dvd for a long time but never saw it til last nite. Not sure where i got it or why, maybe when i had more money & was buying blaxploitation films as a hobby. It's not that kinda film but made my Marvin Van Peebles. Black serviceman in France meets a Paris chick & encounters racism. Character study i guess, film looks great but coulda used more on plot. |

Kirk Douglas movie i taped when it was Kirk week on TCM. Kirk is a marshall taking Walter Brennan in for a murder he might not have committed. Pretty good western. |

| "The Place Beyond the Pines"
Overlong crime drama with many characters i didn't care for. The last 3rd of the movie was kinda dopey. Good acting tho too bad the story wasn't good throughout. |

| "Valley of the Dragons" (1961)
Silly b-movie Jules Verne stuff. Two guys in Algeria are swept off earth in the tail of a comet. In the comet is a slice of earth from prehistoric times. The cave ppl are a mic of neanderthal men & hot cave chicks. Lotsa big dinosaurs! Funnage! |

| "Cellular"
Hadn't seen this in years. Kim Basinger & Chris Evans, dirty cops, kidnapping, car chase, girls in bikinis, cell phones. Cliched & predictable but still pretty enjoyable. |

well they coulda trimmed 30 min outta this easily. It's better than IM2 but not the 1st film. The twists were good tho i doubted the villain's motivations. i'm ready for Avengers 2 now. |

| "The Beast of Yucca Flats"
Halloween movie time for October. 1st up is this ultra-cheesy flick starring Tor Johnson. It was on MST3K dvd so that made it much more tolerable to watch. Not much of a monster flick as Tor became a radioactive beast tho he looked like he had got burned roasting marshmallows. |
