Yeah, I watched No Country For Old Men by myself. Wife was sleeping, and I knew it wasn't something for the kids. I thought it COULD have been a good movie, as there was some good acting in it...but it left me disappointed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> "No Country For Old Men" is a great movie, this is just something not for kids. I've seen it several times (in the theater and on DVD). BTW, it took several Oscars, as far as I remember, including the Best Picture award. My wife liked it, too. Just becuase it wins awards, doesn't mean it's a good movie. Pointless, random violence are not the stuff of a good movie, IMHO. Usually my wife and I pay attention to which movies win *blah* awards. Then, we put those particular titles in the rental category. If the douchebags in Hollywood say "It's great!" It's probably going to suck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> I'm in agreement with you there. What was that one movie that did well in awards...Brad Pitt was in it...it was like 4 movies going on at once...Pitt's wife got shot by some kids playing with a rifle...anyway, that one sucked. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I'll admit I took my ex girlfriend down here to go see that movie.. We both fell asleep watching it and admitted to each other later on once we started dating how crappy it was and we both fell asleep watching it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I was all excited to get it in the mail. Watched it and was like WTF???? Just watched one that was a little different. Called "Cleaner". Stars Sam Jackson, Ed Harris, Eva Mendez, and Luis Guzman (dude that got a BJ from a calf in the Cowboy Way <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />) Pretty good plot with good twists. Excellent cinematography. Really cool angles. The wife picks good semi-gore flicks... Worth the rent.
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

I watched Black Ops a few nights ago. The cover said it was about a terrorist who wiped out the entire crew of a US Navy ship, so a SEAL team got sent in to take him out.
It was really about a Nazi who was tortured to death and his ghost killed everyone on the boat. Including all the SEALs. It really sucked, but I sat through it anyway because I knew if I didn't see it through I'd never go to sleep. I hate those kind of movies.
Then I watched I Am Omega. I was in the mood for a good zombie flick. It wasn't good.
Then I watched Shooter with Marky Mark. That was actually a really good movie. I watched it twice. My wife is in Oregon and happened to watch it the same night I did and was telling me about this great movie that she thought I'd really like.
