I saw the extended version of "Dodgeball" over the weekend...that was off the hook! LMAO

Just watched 'V for Vendetta' and thought it was ok, nothing more. Natalie Portman is rather easy on the eye and deserves to be glazed in honey but I digress...
I did not enjoy 'Dodgeball' Cyg although my son thought it was great. if it's inane humour you're after may I suggest 'The Ringer'

"Plot Outline: After a lawn mowing accident leaves his friend without fingers, Steve Barker (Johnny Knoxville) looks to his gambling-addict uncle Gary (Brian Cox) for help to pay for the operation to fix his hand. Gary's idea is to rig the Special Olympics, pushing Steven into signing up for competition, thus giving him an advantage over the other athletes. Steve is wary, but agrees, calling himself "Jeffy," and plunges himself headfirst into the community of mentally challenged athletes and the games. However, when he takes a liking to one of the supervisors (Katherine Heigl, "Grey's Anatomy"), Steve starts to second-guess his decision, and is forced to choose between his financial commitments and betraying his newfound friends.

Imho a wasted evening but then again my (13yr old) son loved it.

Haven't watched a movie in awhile but while I was in New Orleans I had to do some work on location of "Deja-vu" staring Denzel Washington, Val Kilmer and John Goodman. I didn't get to meet any of them but did get to meet the director, Tony Scott. It was pretty cool, I made him laugh and not to mention very interesting with all the equipment and such.

Panacea's husband was in Red Eye, just for a bit.

I was in the movie Vision Quest, they filmed it at my high school. Just don't blink or you miss me.

Thansk for the in-depth review Schu'

. "review-Schu" I'm a poet!

Could you possibly warn us heterosexual males where and when the love scenes appear?
I still havent watched it yet despite plans to.

I did watch Ice Age 2 with my son last night and that was good, very funny.

honestly Ogg...you see them kiss about 3 times....no tongues....and sort of 2 love scenes where you dont see anything...
it was more the love story between them but I found it quite boring....I was hoping for some raunchy man on man sex but it never happened

what I was surprised at was it was first set in 1963 than carrying on for about 20 years....for some reason I though it was set much earlier

That shook me to my very core.

Being the full on lesbian that I am, that is.

haven't seen it, but I just got "School of Rock", and I dig the "face-melting guitar solos" hahaha That movie was just too stinkin' cute...Check out the ending credits, when there's a shot of the YOUNG kids (I mean 4 or 5 years old!) holding little guitars and getting taught...That was PRECIOUS!!!
