Other Men's Women, a 1931 Pre-Code movie about a man who falls in love with his best friend wife.

This was a really good film with some interesting camera work, lots of location shots of vintage Steam Locomotives and a style that seemed much more realistic than most films of the era.

Army of Darkness

Duplicity...I'd say ***
Michael Clayton was better...

AWAY FROM HER

Low budget CBC film starring Julie Christie as a Canadian with Alzheimer's, and dealing with the impact her illness has on her husband. Having lost my mother to the disease, and seeing my wife's mother going down that path (albeit at an older age), I had/have mixed feelings about the film.

Twilight - Not so good, I guess you had to read the book.

I do like the Paramore song at the end though, FWIW.

"Knowing". It was OK and had its creepy moments. Cage actually does a decent job with his part. Looking forward to several movies due out in May.

The Lair of the White Worm , on TV. I didn't know anything about this movie. I thought it was one of those class B cheap horror movies (which I enjoy!) but something was different: first of all, a youg Hugh Grant was acting and the film was very heavily charged, gothic, with some sexual connotations. I googled it and found that it is a Ken Russel film (first surprise) and that it is based on Bram Stocker last novel (second surprise)! Not for everybody's tastes but certainly a film that got me out of the usual boring film style on TV!

Twilight - ditto Wayaskit's comment. Dark, self important, self involved, derivative. Which, I think, explains why the teeny-boppers liked it.

Same movie for me. I thought it was good, but not great.

Just finished Big Trouble In Little China. Great classic

Monsters vs Aliens-Funny but unremarkable.The effects would probably have impressed me more if I could see 3D(only one eye).

Sunshine Cleaning-More moving and dark than I expected.Really good performances,too.

Escape from New York. 1981, takes place in 1997. The s**t acting was fascinating. So bad in so many ways. All the graffiti on the walls in and on all the buildings was written in the same handwriting and read "help" and "I Love New York" and other childish junk. NEVER watch this movie. But if you want to, it's currently in On Demand's free movies section.

escape from n.y. has to be taken in the right way-- that is, in full recognition of all its flaws, we appreciate it for its flaws, love it for its flaws, and its awesome soundtrack

The Day The Earth Stood Still, the new one.

Who wrote this crap, the dialog was so bad I was laughing at it.
Kathy Bates was terrible, horribly miscast.

The special effects were pretty good but who cares if everything else sucks.

Knowing...enjoyed it quite a bit, except the ending.
