Juno and other recent flicks

Could have been a lot better. I didn't care for any of the characters because there was little character development. I would have liked all of them to get slaughtered in the end.

Go see The Orphanage, pretty good psychological horror movie, totally recommended

Once - great movie out on DVD and incredible soundtrak....Glen Hansard from The Frames is in it.
 
 My apologies if this is old news, we aren't big movie watchers and just happen to grab this one on Sunday evening...

Am I the only person that though the music from Once was frigging horrible? The movie was fine, but the music, ugh.

probably, but i'm assuming that you're used to be alone in your opinions.  in fact, i suspect that you like it  :p

[Vas Deferens]

Well it's made by the guys from the Frames. What do ya expect?

The music in Once was OK, I thought the movie was a bit dull and seemed much longer than it actually was  and it's not that long to begin with.  Most of the story was pretty unbelievable unless it's treated like a fairy tale...

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly was intense.  I hope the dvd has some sort of making of video.  I'd love to see that.

Made the mistake of shelling out $10 to see this one, what a mistake. I'm a sucker for all those Alien and Predator movies, but they just don't work together.

Couldn't disagree with you more. I walked out of the theater feeling similar, but then it kind of sunk in overnight and the next day I realized just how brilliant the ending was. It's like they were saying that no matter what you do sometimes shit is just going to be fucked up. The good guy doesn't always win and everything isn't always going to be wrapped up nice and tight with a pretty bow. Life can be terrible and the decisions you make will directly effect what happens. The moment he decided to take that money forces were set in motion that he couldn't control.

Agreed.  I haven't seen the movie, but the book's ending is fantastic.  You're right...the world isn't a nice place, and bad things happen to good people, unfortunately.
 
 Still, I can remember Joe posting about how great Surf's Up was, so you kind of have to take it with a grain of salt.  Like his show reviews.

SPOILER
 
 I just wish the directors showed how the main character was killed. There was a big build up leading to it, then bam, he's already dead. That was the most disappointing part to me. They had no problem showing psychoboy's car accident in the end?? (what was the point of that anyway?).
 Still, it's a good movie and psychoboy really freaked me out!

I loved that it was subtle and they didn't make a big scene about how the main character was killed.
