Jolie nude???? I doubt you'll get any results if you type that into Yahoo! search.
But I'll probably see Beowulf, just because I'm an English major and read that damn poem at least 15 times.

Not a new movie, but might be new to some. The History of the World Part 1. A 1981 Mel Brooks movie, that had me laughing...again. I forgot all about this movie.
I rented "Asoka" this weekend. It's one of those Indian Bollywood movies.
Asoka (pronounced "ashook") is a national hero to Indians, an important figure in world history and religion. He ruled an empire that ran from Afghanistan to Bangladesh, from Nepal to Sri Lanka. He's very important to the spread of Buddhism throughout the world.
But the movie...yechh. It's the all-singing, all-dancing version of Indian history, and it sucked pretty bad. Bollywood can't do anything seriously. They insist on turning everything into a romantic comedy-slash-musical (but no kissing, or else there will be riots). It alternates between bloody violence and musical numbers with mid-song wardrobe changes. 3 out of 10.
The wife wanted to watch the new remake of "Hairspray" tonight and I wanted football.
You can guess who won.
We'll be watching Hairspray tomorrow afternoon (well, she'll be watching I'll be staring at the wall), hopefully not when the Pistons are on.
This may have backfired.
Wait, are there any hot chicks in Hairspray?

So... in answer to your question.......... yes.
I saw The Last King Of Scotland recently. It's more-or-less the real storyline of Idi Amin, mixed in with a mostly-fictional story of his idiot Scottish doctor.
Forest Whitaker is awesome as Idi Amin. His powerful performance alone is worth the rental! James McAvoy was serviceable as the naive doctor thinking with his dick in over his head. The rookie director did lots of good things. But, the plot didn't hold me quite as much. While the fictional aspects were intended to portray realistic things that could have happened, I kept getting this "no way could the doctor be this fucking stupid" vibe I couldn't shake. He should've been dead with how dumb he was. But, it gets a thumbs-up from me. Oh, bonus points for Gillian Anderson as the hot weathered British doctor.
Last King of Scotland... saw it a while ago, anyway I pretty much agree. Above-average movie worth seeing just for Whitaker's performance, gave me chills watching him at some points.
If anybody sees 'No Country for Old Men' I wanna know how it is... also 'I Am Legend' looks like it has potential whenever it comes out.
I've seen two movies recently, neither were too great. 'Smiley Face', starring Anna Faris and directed by Gregg Araki (The Doom Generation) is about the most retarded stoner ever and her quest for money to pay the debt to her weed dealer. Bleh. 'PU-239', about a guy in Russia who steals plutonium to sell on the black market. Could have been good, and good timing to scare us all considering the turmoil in Pakistan and some people speculating that their nuclear arsenal could be mishandled but unfortunately the movie was just poorly executed IMO. Bleh again.
I'd hoped it'd be more of a straight remake of The Last Man On Earth (Vincent Price at his best) or the original story. Will Smith seems as wrong for this as he was for "I, Robot". At least he's doing big screen sci-fi which is rare these days.Quote:

I'll be seeing that soon.
I'm going to see Hitman today. I'll give you all an update after I get back.
Saw Beowulf a few days ago. It was alright. My friend and I did our own commentary throughout the movie, made it quite a bit more entertaining, but still it was pretty good. It was nice to see a 'hero' who wasn't one of those "I'm just doing my duty" kind of guys. Beowulf is 100% all about the glory and he lets you know it. Whenever he kills something he makes sure to scream his own name. Overall, good storyline, decent action, just wish it wasn't all computer animation. Seeing it in 3-D was pretty sweet though.
