Public Enemies - Depp, Bale etc. reviewed in its own thread. I enjoyed it after i got through the 1st 30 sloooow minutes.

Towelhead- weird movie, felt weird watching it. The lebanese guy was an asshole, the neighbor was a creep, the girl was 13 (18 yr old actress) and the bf was a scumbag too. kind of pointless. i didnt hate it but...

Eastern Promises- Viggo Mortensen,Naoi Watts, excellent suspenseful action type movie. Tough to describe plot without giving things away but its about a nurse who finds a diary of a dead teen girl who gave birth and it goes from there, mob ties etc. Very good movie

Man, I don't watch enough movies. 

I think the last movie I watched all the way through was The Changling on dvd.

Wow 3 movies within 2 days...NJ, you do have lots of free time.  Actually I've never heard of the other two movies so can't comment on them but Public Enemies seems to be interesting though.

Eastern Promises-    for the same reasons you give

I'll add a couple once I watch them as they are sitting in the "need to watch" folder.

just watched what is probably the WORST movie with a gambling theme I have EVER SEEN...
 
The Grand (2007) with Woody Harrelson, Dennis Farina, Gabe Kaplan and a bunch of unknowns. it's an improv comedy about a winner take all poker tourney. had a couple funny lines and site gags BUT overall the whole plot and premise, not to mention the acting, makes it a really STUPID movie AND the presence of Phil Hellmuth in a bit part makes it even MORE annoying!!!
 
gets three bombs   I'm suprised this turkey wasn't nominated for a Razzie

Ghost Town-Rocky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, the still hot Tea Leoni

Very enjoyable movie, a guy sees the dead and they all want him to help them out. I really liked this movie a lot, nice message, funny at times. worth your time

Burn After Reading Normally I dont like Clooney (Michael Clayton sucked) but he was good in this , the plot was great with tons of twists and turns, Brad Pitt was hilarious, the whole move was funny to me. Frances McDormand was funny,John Malkovich. JK Simmons
I really did not think I would like this movie but I found it to be very enjoyable

just happened to watch it last night and it had some REALLY funny scenes esp early on. kind of a "chick flick" but worth watching. more interaction with the ghosts and less the lame love story probably would have made it even better.

Why do you post " Year One" in every thread?

Awake- Hayden Chriestensen, Jessica Alba, Shooter McGavin, Terrence Howard- premise was alright and it had some good twists and turns but kind of a silly movie. Wasnt a long movie so you wont waste too much time on it. Who knows you might like it , I thought the ending was dumb and I had too many questions during it for me to really like it

Easter Promises - best movie mentioned on thie page so far. 
 
When I think of this movie , I realize it's been awhile since I watched a decent movie. Seen a lot of crap lately.
