I finally finished Sexy Beast. I did enjoy it, even though I found myself thinking making you hate a guy so you can enjoy watching him beaten to death is so cliche. Ben Kingsley really transcended the stereotypical confines of that role. And the skipping ahead to the heist trick totally worked on me so I was just as shocked as the characters had been when they cut back to the wife firing the shotgun.

Still I was a bit taken aback by Donnie Darko's eviller twin tunneling under the pool at the end. I put the commentary on and skipped to the end to see if they'd offer any insight into that directorial choice but they only said how much they liked the ending.

I do agree, even as I fail to grasp the point of it, that it was a very effective use of a cigarette .

Oh, yeah, I think it was Natasha...thanks Tep! Because she is sort of a badass with a soft center, too.

I saw a free screening of Smart People. It was all right, nothing special. Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church were entertaining, but the main plot was kind of meh.

aww that's too bad. The trailers seem so promising.

There's some LOL stuff from Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church, but it's just so hard to care about Dennis Quaid's character because he's such an ass. And the editing is weird and it's hard to tell the passage of time, which makes the story a little confusing.

The music is quite nice, however. It's not a bad movie, just not worth going out and paying for. Maybe a matinee if you really like the actors.

Totally hunting down that Lost Boys movie! "Death by Stereo!"

) only featuring the Coreys as return characters (no Allan Frog)

Yuh huh! Jason Nieulander is listed.

WHY did I read the comments? WHY? WHY?

I'm with on the 'sploding head, but I want to post this in my cubicle (which confuses the boys with it's resemblance to the inside of a comic shop) said in response to a guy who said guys didn't want to see a move with 5 minutes of action followed by 89 minutes of two women talking about how they felt about it

Sarah Connor would like a word with you. So would Lara Croft. I think they want to talk about their feelings…

or an employee pass

Yes Allan Frog?

This movie just got better.

Yep.

Any Dave Gorman fans? I'm about to watch his movie film documentary, "America Unchained".
