I thought so, just my opinion though.
I also chuckled when I saw that someone named LetTigerIn liked my post about The Skin I Live In. (anyone who's seen the movie will know why)
This movie was pretty fun, great cast. Christopher Lloyd and Treat Williams have pretty awesome characters.
Also saw a movie with the aforementioned Sisto. Unknown is another movie with a solid cast, pretty intriguing plot and it's fun to watch the whole story unfold.
Nice double. 'Boat Drinks!!!!' Unknown should have been better. Barry Pepper is another of those guys I universally just like in anything.

I remember Things To Do In Denver as a pretty watchable Tarantino knockoff.
Gabrielle Anwar gotta eat. No, seriously, she really needs to eat.

The Horsemen and Frailty both were viewed thanks to my netflix queue. Religious overtones today.

I just watched Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It was downright amazingly epicly awesome.
I second The Skin I live In. It's a long trip...and I do mean trip, but one worth taking. I gotta watch Up...and Ratatoille(sorry, you spell it)...also thoughts and prayers Lagwagon.
In other news, Thanks to pay cable my 4th consisted of
this was on last night. I love the cast. Before you complain about Mohr or the kid from ET or the Boondock Saint that wasn't Norman 'Darryl' Reedus...Dennis Leary is awesome in this. As is Walken. Brad Garrett as one half of a mulletheaded goomba team is pretty fun too. I don't know what it is about Jeremy Sisto, ever since Six Feet Under, if he's in something I will probably watch it. Anyway, it's a good little minor flick.
Denis Leary is the reason i switched to steel shafts on my golf clubs.

Real good. The end...SPOILERS
was a bit of a copout, you have to see it to understand. But really engrossing. Salma Hayek/John Travolta and mostly Benecio Del Toro steal the show. Del Toro is so much fun to watch. Constantly tic'ing and throwing faces. Real good stuff.
Not to bring this up again, but after some discussion on my facebookz about this one, I really do think Gescom figured out what killed it for me. It was entertaining, yes, and creative, yes. BUT, of all the actors in it, the one I LEAST remember was the MAIN character, and that's just not a good thing. Everyone else was so damn good. I mean, Cotillard's scene in the hotel room where she goes from calm to enraged in a heartbeat was just genius. She ****in' creeped me OUT. But for me it was like, this is good, this is good, she is great, he is awesome, this is good...ugh, dammit Leo, you suck. I didn't HATE the movie, it just fell slightly short of "mind-blowing" for me. Like something was missing, and I think it was a more memorable lead.
Oh and I watched The Rum Diary yesterday...and fell asleep. So I guess I didn't really watch it.

Saw Hugo. A classic. Scorsese does it again with a family movie, no less.

Saw Underworld: Awakening. Worst. Movie. I. Have. Ever. Seen.
It needs to be destroyed least anyone else waste any of their valuable time seeing this 100% POS.

Pretty much agreed with everything you said. I was kind of forced to see this as I was not in the mood but thought it was better than I had expected. The ending wasn't the greatest though, as you said. I also found it hard to like any of the 3 main characters. Not a fan of Lively and the two dudes were kinda meh. Del Toro and Hayek were the reasons to watch the movie. I already knew Benicio (and his hair) would be great, as always, but I was really impressed with Salma Hayek being so good at being bad.

Speaking of Benicio, saw The Usual Suspects for the fourth or so time. Great film if a little too much TV-sensibility, but, imo, great still the same.

The kids were archetypes...barely sketched out. They did the job. as usual w/Stone, the experienced actors were given the room...and they took it. The fake beat...spoilers...
was apparently different from the book ending, the tacked on 'happy ending' was some kind of admission from Stone that he's all growned up and not focused on the negative. I wanted to walk out when the 'true' ending occured.

I actually thought the (spoilers)...
part where they all committed suicide was laugh inducing.

see, and I thought that was clunky, but still better than the tacked 'happy' ending

Alright, I haven't done this in a while.
Don't Look Now - ****, I had been wanting to see this for so long. It was streaming on Amazon Prime for free and I just about pissed myself. It shows pretty regularly in Best Horror Movie Ever lists and it's been out of print in the US for a while for some reason. Anyway, I liked it a lot. It wasn't what I was expecting at all, and it's the kind of movie where you're WTF'ing the whole time and after it was over I wanted to watch it again. Like a lot of Nicolas Roeg's movies, it doesn't explain everything for you and leaves a lot open to interpretation. Best Horror Film ever? Not a chance. Great? Yeah, ok. The climax was fantastic.
Cropsey - A documentary about a bunch of missing children and the search for who might have been responsible, all centered around a creepy, abandoned mental institution. Not a bad film, but not a great one, either. Some decent atmosphere and an interesting story, but it was really obvious the people making it were fairly new at doing so. The creepiest thing in the film, BY FAR, was the parts of the real expose done on the hospital while it was in in business done by none other than local news reporter Geraldo Rivera. That **** was TRULY chilling. There's a documentary that's been made about the actual hospital that I wouldn't mind checking out at all after seeing this.
Mean Girls - So Boobytrap and I have been watching 30 Rock and DVD and we're both kind of head over heels in love with Tina Fey now, so when we saw this was also streaming for free on Amazon Prime, we decided to give it a shot. It's actually pretty funny. I don't care if I never see it again, but it wasn't bad.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Yeah, for some reason BoobyTrap and I started watching the second one on cable one day and I got this flood of nostalgia as I remembered every single line and scene in the movie, something I thought I had long forgotten. And I was reading up on who did the various voices on IMDB and some review I saw said that the first movie was a lot better and was really "dark". Than I saw that Sam Rockwell was in it, and I decided I wanted to see it again. It sucks really bad. It isn't funny and it's really poorly done. But, man, I used to love it so much when I was a kid. It was weird seeing all this stuff I had forgotten but seeing it I remembered it all. Sam Rockwell was only in it a little, but that's better than not at all.
Pootie Tang - Louis CK wrote and directed this?! It had some funny parts, but was mostly uneven and just ok. I guess the studio removed CK and his editor from the editing room and didn't let them have final cut of the film, so I'll let it slide.
Resident Evil: Afterlife - Meh. Not even sure why I bothered exactly. I guess just to see Milla Jovovich be all bad ass. Movie still sucked, though.
Tyrannosaur - Impressive as ****. The guy I know best for playing Swanney in Trainspotting and the girl I only know as the dumb female cop in Hot Fuzz both turn in incredible performances. I mean... damn. This one will stick with you. ****ing loved it.
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest Of Spies - Pretty funny James Bond type spoof, starring the actor and actress from The Artist. Looking forward to watching the sequel sometime soon. Recommended.
Kung Fu Panda 2 - I liked the first one better. Fun, but not really anything spectacular, I thought. Boobytrap liked this one better than the first, though.
Due Date - Not bad. Had some good funny parts. ZG's schtick is getting a little old, though.
Chronicles Of Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader - On one hand, it's kind of sad that they probably won't get to finish making the movies for this whole series. On the other hand, the movies are kind of lame and so I don't really care much.
Coffy - I still haven't seen too many blaxploitation films, but of the ones I have seen, this is by far my favorite. Got Boobytrap to watch it and she even liked it a lot. ****, who wouldn't?! Lots of great violence and boobs. What's not to like? Pam Grier rules.
Whatever Happened To Aunt Alice? - Way over the top with some of the acting and the music, but enjoyable. I bet Geraldine Page had a lot of fun filming this.
Man Hunt - An ok movie about a guy who (sort of) tries to kill Hitler, fails, and ends up on the run from Nazis. Some great cinematography and a really cool climax, but a lot of the film bored me. All the parts with Joan Bennett, especially. She's whiney and her accent is annoying. Definitely not one of Fritz Lang's better films, although I wouldn't say it was bad.

Haha! The image for Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice reminds me of Maggot Brain. 
Hey Adgy, did you ever watched Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
I watched Cropsey and thought it was creepy and interesting, but the doc itself isn't as masterful as it could've been done.
And Coffy is boobtastic!
I like Fritz Lang, but haven't heard of that movie and from the sound of it that might be a good thing.
And I STILL haven't watched Don't Look Now!!! One day, Orphy, one day!
