In the theaters, Ray this last saturday 11/27.
Foxx was very good, but the movie was way too long and the flashbacks melodramatic.

Nightmare Before ChristmasExult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

The movie is an unflinching portrait of a musical genius and flawed human being.
Yeah, it's long. But it's very, very good. Highly recommended.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

In theatre: National Treasure. It was fine. Predictable as all hell, the usual overdose of explosions & whatnot, and a silly plot, but it was fun and the girl was hot.
At home: Goldfinger (rounding out the Thanksgiving Bond-a-thon).

"No, mister Bond, I expect you to DIE!"
I love that line.

That would be Les Triplettes de Belleville actually
It reaped quite a few rewards on film festivals and I've heard it's pretty good (though rather unconventional, not too mainstream).
Last movie I've seen (on my computer) is Helen of Troy.
That Helen was ehm... nice

Attention-getting little trademarks.
e-marketing, if you will.
Sig lines, location lines, and avatars are just not enough for some ppl.

I guess I should have expected it in a Vin Diesel movie but the ending made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I just wanted some nice simple mindless violence, is that too much to ask?
And then when I thought things couldn't get any worse my gf started watching a movie on TV staring Pamela Anderson as a post-apocolyptic contact-lens smuggling mercenary or something

Personally, I didn't like the film too much, I was disappointed. The film is not mainstream, so much is good. A film may also be dark, sad, portray hopelessness and still be good. A film may also make you feel uncomfortable and still be good, but this special combination of all three didn't work for me. Some good ideas, but the film got nowhere. After leaving the theater I was like I've lost 2 hours, money and my good mood. I should add maybe that I had the exactly same feeling after Lost Highway, so he who likes that may like this..."The world is too small in Vorarlberg".

I saw Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
on an airplane. In fact, that is where I see all movies lately (Shrek2, Bourne Supremacy, etc.)“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
