first! by The InSneider	Jun 9th, 2009 05:50:32 AM
HA!
second!! by Madmacks	Jun 9th, 2009 05:51:27 AM
....that's all.
HARRY by The InSneider	Jun 9th, 2009 05:58:54 AM
I may or may not have given you shit for pimping Fired Up but after seeing it, I gotta man up and apologize. It had its moments. I laughed, and more than I thought I would. I'm sure the Unrated cut is even better. Nick, ECO and Adhir Kalyan all great. I was watching Current TV last week and saw ECO parody the Christian Bale Incident and it was pretty hilarious. See if you can find it on YouTube or something. Also, Indecent Proposal is great and sexy. I've always liked Demi Moore, and can't blame Ashton for turning down years of hot Hollywood ass for Ms. Moore. Plus Woody is fucking great. He still doesn't get his due as an actor. NBK, Larry Flynt, WMCJ, Cheers, etc.
I wouldn't bother with any of those. by barnaby jones	Jun 9th, 2009 06:01:08 AM

Lions, tigers, bears oh my!!! by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 9th, 2009 06:02:00 AM
Who doesn't love Gary Busey in Predator 2?
Is that bitch on the rag or what? by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 9th, 2009 06:02:46 AM
Who doesn't love Bill Paxton in Predator 2?
New Criterion Seventh Seal by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 9th, 2009 06:05:02 AM
is well worth picking up for the excellent documentary Bergman Island, a documentary visiting Bergman on Faro and the last filmed interview he did. Incredible. Of course you also get one of the greatest works of film art in history. Result.
The International. Good shootout. Shit film. by Stuntcock Mike	Jun 9th, 2009 06:13:32 AM
Now Predator 2 is on my too-buy list.
Glad SOMEBODY else noticed The Siege. by Kevin Holsinger	Jun 9th, 2009 06:17:21 AM
If Al Qaeda made it a point to attack us every couple of weeks instead of every couple of years, I wouldn't have been the slightest bit surprised if that movie had come true.
wow, two Adrian Lyne films on blu-ray... by The Amazing G	Jun 9th, 2009 06:20:08 AM
does that mean a blu-ray of Jacob's Ladder is not far off? (after all, next year is it's 20th anniversary)
Nice to see Stephen Hopkins get some respect. by Darkman	Jun 9th, 2009 06:22:22 AM
He may get raked over the coals for LOST IN SPACE (whose problems are more script-related than anything having to do with the film's look), but JUDGMENT NIGHT, BLOWN AWAY and the Peter Sellers movie (in spite of that creepy-ass title sequence) are solid films. PREDATOR 2's pretty good, as well. Also, I can't really speak for the other films in the Lemmon collection, but it is so great to finally have GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM on DVD. Very funny film, and that DeVol theme music will stay in your head for days.
Nice arm, Clive by MC-909	Jun 9th, 2009 06:40:13 AM
I like how they had to midgetize Clive Owen's uzi-arm so it would fit on the cover. Whoever is in charge of DVD/blu-ray box art needs to be fucking fired.
MC-909 blimey you are right! by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 9th, 2009 06:47:38 AM
That's fucking terrible...hmm there there is a little game in there somewhere. Bad vhs/dvd covers?
he looks so angry cuz he has such a tiny little arm! by The Amazing G	Jun 9th, 2009 06:51:20 AM

just reminded me of this by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 9th, 2009 06:53:20 AM
terrible poster for an amazing movie - http://tinyurl.com/nxwzts
You suspend DISbelief Harry, not belief by telepathos	Jun 9th, 2009 06:58:28 AM

Hey harry I also love the kim-chi! My Korean by southafricanguy	Jun 9th, 2009 07:01:23 AM
girlfriend got me hooked on it (and pretty much Korean food in general). What do you think of Gim-bab Harry? Or Bulgogi?
stephen hopkins' best movie... by Bouncy X	Jun 9th, 2009 07:06:49 AM
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 : The Dream Child.....hahahah not really but i'm really bored so yeah.
yum-yum by horato	Jun 9th, 2009 07:06:59 AM
Under the Yum-Yum Tree is not that bad. Lemmon's performance alone makes it worth seeing (although I beieve he later disowned it). And the youthful Carol Lynley....yum yum!
Seventh Seal! by emvan	Jun 9th, 2009 07:09:13 AM
The most exciting thing, even more than a new transfer to BluRay, is that the subtitles have been improved and expanded. My girlfriend reports that the old version had seriously deficient subtitling, a la the original release of Let the Right One In. I have no time or money but I'll be all over this one like brown on healthy rice.
I Betcha most who criticized you didn't see "Fired Up!" by BigTuna	Jun 9th, 2009 07:17:22 AM
It looks like your average, dumb teen sex comedy but it's very funny.
Kim Chi is nice, Bugolgi is even yummier by quantize	Jun 9th, 2009 07:28:22 AM

Yes, the Siege by Anal Inflictor	Jun 9th, 2009 07:31:46 AM
A 2-hour documentary of how the Clinton Administration reacted to the first WTC bombing and all subsequent acts of terrorism. If we had daily bombings in NYC, you better bet I want Bruce Willis and a battalion of army strong shaking it down and doing whatever it takes to stop the bad guys. Profile if you need to. Torture if you need to. Terrorize them back if you need to. When we are acting in self-defense, the only moral is victory over the aggressor. Oh, and the premise behind the terrorists was more than a little faulty and is now defunct.
As for Glenn Close by Anal Inflictor	Jun 9th, 2009 07:32:41 AM
I would dress her up as Cruella D'Evil, put a dog leash on her, and teach some fun tricks.
Talkbacker with no name, that is terrible by Big Jim	Jun 9th, 2009 07:36:32 AM
If I didn't know any better I would think The Prestige was a noir 40's style crime thriller.
Hated INDECENT PROPOSAL. by LoneGun	Jun 9th, 2009 07:47:40 AM
Left a really bad taste in my mouth. Every character comes across as a moron by the end of that film.
Tom Tykwer deserves better material by Spandau Belly	Jun 9th, 2009 07:47:56 AM
He handled the action in The International like a pro and kept all the tailing sequences going strong in full French Connection mode, but there was just nothing to these characters or story. He made that film way better than it should've been, but he still deserves to be getting something that's actually good on paper. Let him do this Alien or Highlander reboot or something.
Was "The International" about.... by We_Are_Trapper_Keeper	Jun 9th, 2009 07:50:43 AM

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE NEW HARRY GIF... by The Amazing G	Jun 9th, 2009 08:01:20 AM
A REFERENCE TO? these things just keep getting weirder and weirder
GRAN TORINO was indeed terrific. by LoneGun	Jun 9th, 2009 08:08:02 AM
One of the most surprising films of the past year. As I recall, Capone called it "a minor effort" from Clint Eastwood and was quite critical of the cast. I couldn't disagree more. I found GRAN TORINO to be one of Eastwood's best. There's a definite edge and fearlessness to his directing work here, a youthfulness. And the cast was terrific. The kid who played Thao was excellent. The crowd I watched it with wildly applauded his scene with the construction boss. I liked this film, from top to bottom.
My Breakfast with Blassie next week?!?! by haggardatbest	Jun 9th, 2009 08:10:13 AM

Indecent Proposal by i.baronvladimir	Jun 9th, 2009 08:24:33 AM
One of a number of bad or mediocre movies given a John Barry score it didn't deserve. One of Barry's best.
yum-yum 2 by horato	Jun 9th, 2009 08:29:19 AM
Oh, and Yum Yum Tree also features the great Paul Lynde. What's not to love?
YOU DON SEE DAEYE OFDA DE MAHN. TILLIMMCOME CALLIN by ironic_name	Jun 9th, 2009 08:34:25 AM

i.baronvladimir - agreed! by LoneGun	Jun 9th, 2009 08:35:26 AM
Great score. Terrible film.
Good Luck with those Korean in-laws, Harry by devil0509	Jun 9th, 2009 08:43:25 AM
My own experience in over a decade of marriage and one divorce: don't trust them. It's a culture of secrecy, self-interest, back-stabbing, scheming, and viciousness. Not the Koreans' fault really - if you're sandwiched between Japan and China, being alternately overrun and brutalized by one or the other for centuries on end, you learn to watch out for number 1. But it was no fun to be married to that mindset. Thank God I woke up and got out.
THE INTERNATIONAL KICKS ASS! by HoboCode	Jun 9th, 2009 08:44:14 AM
Yes, the Guggenheim scene is stunning but the rest is great too. Tykwer is one of my favorite directors.
damnit DerLanghaarige by Monkey Butler	Jun 9th, 2009 09:11:19 AM
You beat me to it with the "The Siege...and Bruce Willis" bit. And that Prestige poster ain't so bad. An ex bought it for me when I was moving once because she said she wanted to choose who I had on my wall. She got Jackman and Bale and I got Scarlett Johansson. Seemed fair enough to me.
horato, agree with you about Yum Yum Tree by Stabby	Jun 9th, 2009 09:20:56 AM
Jack Lemmon is hilarious in it doing an early version of a Mr. Furley middle-aged lech type character. And it was apparently a huge hit at the time, although as you mentioned Lemmon was not happy with it. If you like funny Lemmon then you can't go wrong with it. Don't know what Harry was or was not smoking when he watched it.
Don't Forget The Shield: Final Season by TheLastCleric	Jun 9th, 2009 09:44:54 AM
One of the few TV shows I own from beginning to end, that finale was courageous, gut-wrenching and unflinchingly brutal. Easily one of the best shows ever to grace the medium.
Chariots of the Gods by Thorstrongstone	Jun 9th, 2009 09:47:06 AM
is complete bullshit. Harry, read Jame Randi's Flim-Flam to get a better picture of the joke that is Chariots of the Gods. "We can't figure out how they did it- so ALIENS must've dun did it!"
Harry: If ya like Lionel Jeffries..... by Big_Bubbaloola	Jun 9th, 2009 10:02:03 AM
Track down the audio book of Winnie the Pooh he did about 30 years ago. I know it's a stretch, but it's one of the best memories of my childhood listening to that tape. His Eeyore was sublime.

don't put down chariots of the gods by patch_adams_dickblood	Jun 9th, 2009 11:19:55 AM
just because it's unprovable. don't be that dick. just take it in and enjoy it, it's a refreshing substitute to the normal religious, and science points of views. maybe none of its true, maybe all of its true or mabe some of its true. who knows? deffinately you don't. so don't act like you do. don't be a dick.

so many gems: Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: [grabbing Keyes and violently pinning him against the wall] Listen, shithead. I don't give a fuck who you really are or what you want with this asshole... because now it's personal, and he's a dead man. Peter Keyes: The concept of what you're dealing with is way over your head. I'm warning you... Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: You! [shoving Keyes back against the wall] Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: You don't know what you're dealing with... and i'm warning you: stay the fuck out of my way! Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: Hey, what the hell's goin' on here, Heinemann? Captain Phil Heinemann: Insubordination, disregard for direct orders from a supervising officer. Now get back to your cage and have a rattle! Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: I'll show you insubordination, you sonuvabitch!
Where can you buy Sunshine JP Blu ray? by WickedJester	Jun 9th, 2009 12:56:05 PM

I saw THE SIEGE right after the TPM teaser in Nov '98 by Tacom	Jun 9th, 2009 01:20:04 PM
I spent like what was it five dollars back then? Just to see the Episode 1 teaser so I decided to see the movie after. I remember after terrorists bomb a Broadway theater, there was a shot of a pretty, elegantly dressed girl with her arm from the elbow down blown walking around in shock. Does anybody know if that was special effects or did they actually find a beautiful girl that was missing an arm?

Puppet Master Box Set by BigSteve03	Jun 9th, 2009 01:25:46 PM
Anyone know what the deal is with the Puppet Master Box set that was supposed to come out this week? Harry had it in his column last week in the list of things that are coming out this week, and amazon.com says it was supposed to be released today, but they also say its been discontinued by the maniufacturer, and its not in any stores around here. Did it get cancelled at the last minute?
You're a damned liar Harry... by Darth Mulder	Jun 9th, 2009 01:51:27 PM

Question for Harry or anyone who knows? by StatelyWayneManor	Jun 9th, 2009 02:25:45 PM
What does he do with the regular dvds when the Blu-ray versions come out?
Bill Paxton in Predator 2 by ShabbyBlue	Jun 9th, 2009 02:45:10 PM
Basically playing the same blowhard he played in Aliens -- the kind we love to laugh at. Paxton has the unique honor of being the only actor to ever get killed by both an alien AND a predator. :)
Chandra Levy... by StatelyWayneManor	Jun 9th, 2009 02:57:29 PM
...was also killed by an alien and a predator.
StatelyWayneManor by ShabbyBlue	Jun 9th, 2009 03:00:52 PM
Haha... I had to stop and think about that one for a moment, but then it made me laugh hard. Good joke :)

Gran Torino is a shit parade by DigitalDong	Jun 9th, 2009 03:19:09 PM
Bad acting, predictable and laughable plot, and comical tear jerking moments ( when that chick gets raped, OMG so funny ) This is MST3K material and nothing more. People who have it as one of their best of last year are fucking morons.
Best Hopkins movie was The Ghost & The Darkness by Nasty In The Pasty	Jun 9th, 2009 03:47:56 PM
Gorgeous Vilmos Zsigmond photography, rousing Jerry Goldsmith score, hair-raising lion attack scenes, and a hilarious Michael Douglas performance ("I AM the Devil!"). Shame the film did so poorly.
Fatal Attraction transfer gorgeous? by landosystem	Jun 9th, 2009 03:47:57 PM
That transfer looked like ASS to me, maybe you watched it on a 7 inch TV? Also that kid in Gran Torino is perhaps the worst acting I have ever seen.
Hey Harry Suck My Dick!! by What The Duck	Jun 9th, 2009 03:48:29 PM
You like Fired Up.. that's fine but since you don't ever answer talkbackers i think it's bullshit you saying you give two shits about what we say. if it wasnt for us you would just be a fat geek with a website. Also The Sheild came out today to
Fox doesn't send ya screeners? BooHoo by radruss001	Jun 9th, 2009 04:25:30 PM
I like how Harry always mentions how Fox does not send him screeners but then adds, “I’ll pick it up later” to cover his arse for the bitterness still in his words for not getting freebies and screenings of movies from the Fox studio. I laugh every time.
Puppet Master boxed set????? by castaway	Jun 9th, 2009 04:37:42 PM

My Problem With Fatal Attraction by mjgtexas	Jun 9th, 2009 04:42:51 PM

Ha ha -the Outer Space Connection! by Sal_Bando	Jun 9th, 2009 05:10:42 PM
Boys I remember that one-came out in '75 I think. They had this REALLY hokey ad campaign, where they showed the Flight 19 pilots off of FLA in '45, and show this one guy supposedly radioing in panic-Don't Come after me-they look like they're outer space! Don't come after me---! You know that had us kids watching the skies and dark shadows for aliens for weeks after that. Never did SEE the danged thing, it's prob as bad as it seems years later. Chariots of the Gods is dated hooey but kinda fun hooey if you get into the whole Ancient Astronaughts/Bermuda Triangle thing from the '70s, it spawned gobs of psuedo-science books and 'documentaries' in the years after. Fun stuff though.
Preadator 2: Electric Boogaloo.. by Zardozap2005	Jun 9th, 2009 05:10:56 PM
Worst sequel EVER made. This film didn't know what it was doing at any time. It's THAT fucked up! The train sequence is vomit inducing, worse than anything in Cloverfield (a better movie too) and Danny Glover was never an action hero of any sort. Not even in the LW franchise.

Gran Torino is an education in racial slang by MattmanReturns	Jun 9th, 2009 06:40:49 PM

Here's an idea ... Harold by DennisMM	Jun 9th, 2009 06:59:43 PM
If you're going to pick up your "boohoo, Fox doesn't send me screeners" titles on Tuesday or Wednesday, why not put off reviewing them UNTIL THE NEXT WEEK? Give us a fucking review of the DVD, not some pathetic "I saw the movie, I hope the DVD is good" nonsense. Geezus, Harold.
How do these 12 items constitute "interesting"? by SoylentMean	Jun 9th, 2009 07:09:28 PM
This is a shitty, shitty week for movie releases. Minus the Blu-Ray double dips of movies that nobody really needs to see in HD (except for maybe Predator 2) and you've got a whopping 7 new films. Does anybody know how well the Blu-Ray format is actually doing when people are losing their jobs, their homes, their fuckin' retirements? Save for PS3 sales I'd have to venture a guess that it isn't exactly lighting any sales bonfires. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to "upgrade" to Blu with all my beloved films I already have on DVD or VHS, films I've spent years collecting, buying secondhand, and generally treasure hunting for. But really, Fatal Attraction in Blu-Ray? Like anyone needs to see Glenn Close that um, close?
Gran Torino was a piece of jingoistic garbage. by Lenny Nero	Jun 9th, 2009 07:10:35 PM

Puppet Master Box Set= Bullshit by SoylentMean	Jun 9th, 2009 07:13:39 PM
Unless there is somehow a vast increase in picture quality it is essentially a re-release. I've had the set for years. Bullshit to try and sell it as something new and improved.
NOTHING animation. by gotilk	Jun 9th, 2009 07:43:58 PM
Didn't see that coming. That's an obscure one. Loved that little movie. When is splice coming out?
Is this Nothing movie really any good? by SoylentMean	Jun 9th, 2009 07:50:29 PM

Lenny Nero by MattmanReturns	Jun 9th, 2009 07:51:24 PM
SPOILER - Yeah, he died to protect people he came to love. What a douchebag.
SoylentMean - Nothing by gotilk	Jun 9th, 2009 08:22:50 PM
I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. But I had no idea, no clue what it was about when I saw it. It was more surprising than anything. It was just much better than it should have been. Not some kind of classic, but very memorable, fun and really, really strange. Not for everyone, which explains why the netflix "wow.. those Pirates movies.. they're the best" crowd is lukewarm on it. I wouldn't characterize it as "satifying" or "feel good", so that means about 60% of the audiences will say it sucks. I suggest going into it without reading specific reviews, if possible.
Gran Torino really Eastwood's last film? by kafka07	Jun 9th, 2009 08:23:14 PM
If it is, it's a nice good bye. I enjoyed the film a lot even though the slurs get pretty old after a while.
Cool, thanks gotilk, I'll throw it on the queue by SoylentMean	Jun 9th, 2009 08:26:49 PM
I'm about to watch Gran Torino this evening, hopefully I'll dig it. Also, hopefully it isn't Clint's last film like kafka07 seems to believe since I still think Eastwood has at least one more good Western in him.
Kim-Chi! by kafka07	Jun 9th, 2009 08:28:10 PM
I love kim-chi! Makes vegetables taste unbelievably good. We make it ourselves now.
You know what's fucking awesome? Bok Choy. by SoylentMean	Jun 9th, 2009 08:32:45 PM
Really a very versatile and delicious green leafy vegetable.
mattman by Lenny Nero	Jun 9th, 2009 08:52:09 PM
He was a racist prick all the way to the end, and the movie basically tells us that it's okay to be a bigot and a curmudgeon as long as somebody likes you.
miscast by Gelatinousman	Jun 9th, 2009 08:56:34 PM
Damn right mjgtexas. It has been years sinc thet movie and it stills bug me. I could never believe anybody would pick Close over Archer. Hum... Anne Archer.
Ever see Anne Archer in Lifeguard? by Sal_Bando	Jun 9th, 2009 09:12:36 PM
You know, w/ Sam Elliot and Kathleen Quinlan? Not a bad '76 film. Anyways.
I read that as "The Siege and Bruce Willis" by OutlawsDelejos	Jun 9th, 2009 10:00:23 PM

the item was withdrawn from distribution after I said it was this week. :(
Chariots/Outer Space by dogrobber	Jun 9th, 2009 10:13:54 PM
Are worth having (even to have on as background noise) just for William Shatner's and especially Rod Serling's narrations (if I'm remebering the right movies). Now if someone would just release the Sunn 'documentaries' like the one about the Bermuda Triangle.
Gran Torino is one weird fuckin' movie by SoylentMean	Jun 9th, 2009 10:55:15 PM
Preachy, with Eastwood being awesome yet predictable. The other actors in the movie did suck a whole helluva lot. The unfulfilled promise of excessive violence is a seriously annoying letdown. The dog was cool though.
Gran Torino was a mess tonally. Totally uneven and unconvincing. by JuanSanchez	Jun 10th, 2009 02:37:01 AM

Gran Torino = unintentional self parody! by AnalFissure	Jun 10th, 2009 03:30:03 AM
Absolutely fucking terrible movie with Eastwood delivering a career worst performance. The sneer/snort, or whatever the fuck you want to call it, is nothing short of embarrassing.

How can anyone like this film? There is no known utterance of "Have a nice day" prior to this film. Yes, we can blame it and its script. Have a nice day.

Clint just directed a movie in South Africa. by Knuckleduster	Jun 10th, 2009 09:30:28 AM
Working title is "The Human Factor". It's the true story about Madiba's release from prison and South Africa winning the '95 Rugby World Cup soon after. Morgan Freeman plays Mandela and Matt Damon plays Springbok captain Francois Pienaar. Couple of my mates worked on it. Should be a blast.
VibroCount, I didn't say I liked Yum Yum by Stabby	Jun 10th, 2009 11:13:02 AM
I said that Jack Lemmon's performance is worth suffering through an otherwise standard 50s/60s screwball comedy. That said, I saw the movie on TCM for free and don't think I'd recommend anyone pay a dime for a rental and certainly not a purchase. But, if you are a Lemmon fan, he's great in it so, if it happens to show up on tv it's worth your while to check it out. Have a nice day, my friend!

Does anyone really believe Harry had alot of g/f's in his life?
Nice one Harry! by scottishnutjob	Jun 10th, 2009 01:09:40 PM
'And I know she’s playing a character in a movie, but goddamn it, that character is so convincing that the idea of having sex with her… well, it makes me want to Sumo my privates up inside of me and glue the resulting mangina shut!' HAHAHAHAHAHA Comedy fucking gold Harry! Good stuff. hahahaha LMAO
Fatal Attraction and miscast Glenn Close... by Cellar Door	Jun 10th, 2009 01:32:31 PM
Absolutely. She's a talented actor of that there's no doubt but holy shit is she MAN ugly. Sorry to be shallow but this ain't the UN. I never bought the 'cheat on Anne Archer' thing either and it wasn't like she brought in 19 year old college cheerleaders in the bedroom with her. She just had that frizzy electrode hairdo and that female version of the animated Ebeneezer Scrooge's face. Demi Moore circa "Indecent Proposal" would have been better physically for the role (she's crazy fine in that movie) but she's no GC in terms of acting... Perhaps they should have just had Douglas fucking Roseanne Barr or something...anything that would make the concept of actually having physical intimacy with Glenn "That's a MAN, baby!" Close. Great actor tho...so good, after watching the movie I wonder if she's actually capable of loony shit like that in real life.
Derr...edits by Cellar Door	Jun 10th, 2009 01:34:48 PM
Not that it matters but.... "Perhaps they should have just had Douglas married to Roseanne Barr or something..." ...far more believable than cheating on Archer with Ms Scrooge.
Glenn Gary Glenn Close by Stabby	Jun 10th, 2009 03:04:52 PM
I wouldn't cheat on Anne Archer with that shit either, but a sex addict like Michael Douglas would be less discriminating so in that respect it is believable. Think Clinton with Monica and Edwards with his ugly bitch.
Back in 97, Woodstock was the first dvd I ever saw!! by AshesOfDonnie	Jun 10th, 2009 05:19:23 PM
but Harry, what about the sound? is it dts quality like the led zeppelin dvd?? You alos forgto to mention we get CCR performances on top of Grateful dead!
thanks headgeek by castaway	Jun 10th, 2009 09:45:18 PM
much appreciation for the response. Don't yet have parts 4, 5 and 6 of Puppet Master on DVD hence my wondering. Another one has just been announced Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, the storyline just mentioned that they were fighting Nazis again like in the 3rd one.
Knuckleduster - Clint's new flick... by LoneGun	Jun 10th, 2009 11:36:13 PM
...I heard about that one, and it sounds great. Apparently, it will be released this December. And I read last week that the official title has been announced. It is to be called INVICTUS.

I Thought Gran Torino Alot Clints Mean Old Gruff Bastard Had Me Laughing At Things That Shouldn't be funny.The asian kid was an attrocious actor.the international was very boring with the exception of the musem shootout.revolutionary road was pretty good a little over dramatic but sad.

Plymouth Rock landed on Seoul by buyingnewsoul	Jun 11th, 2009 11:50:59 AM
"Maybe it’s that I had a very transforming cultural THANKSGIVING experience last year with my Korean In-Laws, that was kind of amazing. The games, the traditions… In a weird way, it was like experiencing Thanksgiving anew." WTF? Why would Koreans have their own Thanksgiving traditions? Do they have their own 4th of July traditions, too?
That's the BEST cover art they could come up with.. by otm shank	Jun 12th, 2009 12:59:13 AM
for Predator 2? Way to phone it in guys. That kick ass flick deserved better.

Gran Torino was sweet by spectrebeeyatch	Jun 13th, 2009 10:14:42 PM
I think it was Clint's last time on screen as an actor. I believe he is still directing. I don't get when people rag on this movie, it's probably just they didn't see it but want to get an opinion out there. Not much on DVD to get so I'll probably go grab it.
