Recently got Netflix streamed over my 360...saw the following
 
Otis - Black comedy about a serial killer. Good performances..ok flick
 
The Strangers - Love Liv Tyler...thumbs down to the movie

Tropic Thunder - Funny movie...I liked it alot
 
The Outpost - Stars Ray Stevenson fom Rome. About Nazi Zombies...ok for a rental

recently got a netflix membership going. they seem to have a lot of blu ray available.

Eagle Eye - Awesome Awesome Awesome. Best car chase scene ever. Tons of fast paced action.

Tropic Thunder - Garbage

Get Smart - Sorta funny. Nothing hilarious but not terrible.

Indiana Jones/Crystal Skulls - I guess it was ok. Kinda disappointed in this though.

I hated Get Smart . One of the worst movies I saw last year, maybe ever. Only looking at Anne Hathaway was good.  I dont think I laughed once all movie

Finally got around to watching Atonement because of all the bad User Reviews on Yahoo.
 
5.5 out of 10 stars.
 
No a bad 2.5 hours to wast but... not as great as the the movie was hyped to be.
 
And believe it or not. I've not seen Invincible yet. Will get down to it in a few hours. I'm sure i'll enjoy it.
 
After what you guys said, i dare not watch Get Smart or Indian Jones.
 
I might get around to watching Cloverfield later this weekend though. I heard its decent.

Mummy 3 - Absolutely dreadful. I had to fight to keep my eyes open after about 40 minutes. Definitely one of the worst movies I've seen lately.

Incredible Hulk - Pretty lame. I thought this was supposed to be improved from the version a few years ago but I didn't see anything great.

House Bunny - I like Anna Faris from Scary Movie so I gave this a shot. It also turned out to be crap. I didn't laugh much.

Feast- the last of the 3 Project Greenlight movies. not really good but it wasnt as awkward and shitty as Stolen Summer and looked more like a real movie than those other 2 Project Greenlight Movies. Nothing great but not completely awful. 4 out of 10

Pope of Greenwich Village Middle of the road movie. Slight thumbs up .Daryl Hannah was hot as hell back in the day. Eric Roberts character was one of the most annoying f'n characters ever and his performance was aggravating. Mickey Rourke was pretty good in it. I thought the ending was kind of silly . Overall maybe a 6.5 out of 10

Don't Kill The Messenger - Chris Rock at his finest, very funny.

Max Payne - Overall it's worth the watch but personally I was disappointed. I expected more from it.

Hellboy 2 - Pretty good movie with lots of crazy looking creatures. Great movie to watch on blu ray.

Pineapple Express - It was kinda funny. Worth a watch if you like these kinda goofy comedies.

My Netflix trial is about done so I probably won't rent anything for like 6 months and then I'll go on a big rentral spree again.

Has anybody seen "Funny Games?" I just caught it on HBO the other night. Honestly freaked the hell out of me.

 

I recommend it strongly.

Hitman
Timothy Olyphant, Olga Kurylenko (naked ) Slightly above average movie. Plot was thin and nothing to it. The action sequences were decent. If its on you can watch it but I wouldnt go out of my way to see it

as a critic on Rotten Tomatoes said "More thought seems to have went into providing grist for future [sequels] that have not been made than the film that was." BUT considering the movie's poor box office performance (it forced New Line Cinema into reorganization) I doubt you will see anything more of this "story"

 

btw, as a Liberal I found the character name of the lead villainess, played by Nicole Kidman, interesting. the evil Marisa Coulter (could she be Ann's sister?)

Funny Games.. annoying and total shit. If 2 guys were in your house you wouldnt grab a golf club and beat the f*ck out of them instead of holding a carton of eggs like a big box? Naomi Watts in her underwear was pretty good but just an aggravating movie and in my opinion total shit. Its as if the only point of the movie was to annoy the f*ckin shit out of the audience. Mission accomplished I guess because the movie annoyed me.

The Bourne Identity... Tivod it and was going to TIVO the 2 sequels but I only watched the 1st 40 minutes and threw in the towel. Who am I ? I have different passports,  I can fight. Who gives a f*ck? Not me

Funny games was annoying as hell and they accomlished that...but it was intensly annoying that it held my attention. I was really hoping to see Naomi's bush.

That movie wasnt bad.  I am a Vegan and the things you see in that movie  (in the slaughter house) are the reasons why.

Delta Farce not really a fan of the "redneck "comedians but Larry the cable guy is not bad so i watched this. I actually found it funny at times. Not much of a plot (kind of like the 3 amigos) but it was actually funny in parts throughout the movie. Not going to win any Oscars but If you have 90 minutes and its on i think you will laugh.

Just finished watching Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.

Great Scott!. I don't know how that movie ever got passed me but what a piece'a work. describing the storyline is virtually impossible....I just went with it. Also found the narration to be brilliant.
