Caught the exorcism of Emily Rose yesterday, I didn't really mind it, was better then I expected. It was waaaayyy better then that horrible movie with Kate Hudson...wow that was a stinker! Then again thats how I go into movies, expecting shit then your not disappointed. I know 40 year old virgin is still going strong at 90 million, but I honestly thought it would of made more.

Man what a bunch of crap movies. I think I could release some home movies I've made and make 17mil with that selection to choose from.

In this summer, $90 million is pretty great, considering how crappy everything else has done.

Is An Unfinished Life any good? Redford is a man's man, and he can act. Freeman is in it, too, and it looks like a poignant flick. Too bad movies like this always do horrible. It's not mainstream enough, not enough explosions and tits.

I was mildly entertained by 'Exorcism', but I had wanted to see 'Lords of War' and probably will get around to it at some point. But yeah, it's been a blah season. Here's hoping 'Corpse Bride' is as good as it looks.

September 30 will be the best movie release day of the summer. Shame if you don't know why...

Come Transporter 2! Use your god damn kung-fu to get higher on that list. If you haven't seen T2, you're a bag of douche.

From what I hear, if you HAVE seen Transporter 2 (T2 will always be Terminator for me), you're a bag of douche. :D

Transporter 2 was a solid action flick, and nothing more. I think it is a fun ride if you keep your expectations reasonable, but I pretty much think that anything Luc Besson has had a hand in is worth seeing.

It amazes me that the creator of something as retarded as Buffy can get nerds across the Internet excited by a cheesy sci-fi flick with terrible acting and an abysmal script. God, even the trailer is painful to watch--and I normally like cheesy sci-fi.

Transporter 2 was action porn.
It should be watched only when the capacity to skip past the bullshit imitation drama/story exists.

I saw Just Like Heaven. It was Just Like I Expected. If you've ever seen a chick flick, you've already heard the tired one-liners and seen the love-filled glances... only this time they're from beyond the grave!
And Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" is already forgotten. It's a shame nobody can adapt his work for the big screen.

There was one thing out of everything else that pissed me off the most in Transporter 2.
Durring most of the car chase, you can tell they used 2+ cars. But what really makes it worse, is one car(s) have a W12 in the middle left area of the front grile, while the other(s) didn't. Which wouldn't have mattered except 75%+ of the shots are taken from the front of the car looking back.

Wait...you've seen this movie and THAT'S the inconsistency that bothers you!? Jebus H Christ, the whole movie is obviously fake, tittering on the edge of suspended disbelief. I actually found it to be a really funny movie, just because the whole thing was so silly. It was a fun dumb movie though. Make Justin happy and go see it with friends.

Well, that was the thing, the rest of the movie was so fake and unreal - it just made perfect sense. But a simple car chase - please, at least get THAT right... :(

I tried to download a trailer for the Transporter 2, but I can't seem to find one.
I just keep getting this damn Audi commercial over and over again.

I finally saw 40-year old virgin. Classic! Laughed so hard, although, definitely not recommended for church goers (who would probably be real 40-year-old virgins) or children.
No, it's not about the butthole pleasures at all.

Rusty trombone i'm not sure i even want to know what it is, but yet something compels me to seek knowledge on the subject. But hell no i'm not looking on google, you never know what the fuck you'll find in the wacky place called internet.

You really don't want to know what it is. Don't look... for your own good.

I looked them up, and I am officially scarred for life. The Dirty Sanchez is just beyond disgusting. The Rusty Trombone doesn't sound that bad, as long as I am the receiver and NOT the giver. Ick.

Well I...oops I mean somebody would surely want to see that.

I have one of my having sex solo, you think that would sell well?Since you are basically a random person on the internet... You could look like Angelina Jolie, or that fat dude that sells comic books on The Simpsons... So really, that depends...
However, if I was in Vegas, and I had to bet the odds... I think you know what I'd put my money on...

Was Lord of War any good?
I certainly thought so. It was a very gripping, remarkably true feeling movie. It didn't really pander; any T&A existed to drive home just how morally corrupt the chracaters were. I spent the five minutes after leaving the movie theatre saying," Wow."
It's important to know, going into it, that it isn't an action movie. The trailer doesn't communicate that. There were a couple of kids in the front war that were reacting, at the start of the movie, as if it were. That didn't last long.
