So I took last week to catch up on some long overdue movie watching at my house as well as at the theater. Let's recap!
1) Ocean's 13 - def a go look see. My least favorite of the three but still good. The best part is the opening and closing title sequences. Ode to the past movie making and titles. I guess the reason I didn't like this as much was character bonding with the crowd. It just goes right into the heist. I guess you had the first two movies to get to know the boys. oh well, its still worth a watch.
2) Surf's Up - Loved this film. Animated well, good soundtrack, and enough insider surfer stuff to keep it moving along. Filmed like a surf documentary with commentary makes this animated film stick out from the sea of others. I know I have a soft spot for surf movies in general but this was different enough for the whole family to like.
3) Knocked Up - Really damn funny and charming at the same time.This is the one film you need to see. Everybody is talking about it and you should be too. If you are in a relationship you will either appreciate what you two have together or see why you really hate the other. Go see it!
4) Fantastic Four 2 - As good as the first. Basic in design as far as movie plot goes this movie delivers on the popcorn ability. Go see it in a digital theater, the opening space scene is why they made digital theaters in the first place.

5) Pool Hall Junkies - A good watch. The lead guy (Mars Callahan) is a Ben Aflac. Christopher Walken was great in the movie. Pick it up for a good Thursday night movie.
6) I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - Clive Owen plays a retired disillusioned ex-mob type guy who shows back up on the day his brother commits suicide. A watchable film from England. Just don't expect a happy ending or any closer for that matter. However I love Clive Owen so it is worth a peek.
7) Lion Heart - Jean Claude Van Damn wrote and produced this masterpiece. Need I say more?
8) Tigerland - Directed by Joel Schumacher staring Colin Farrell this was the most overlooked film of 2000. The last stop before Vietnam -- Tigerland.
9) Torque - Its like Fast & The Furious on Bikes except it has Ice Cube. Freaking Awesome!
