    Last night I rented the Babel movie. Boy, that movie sucked big time. X| Apart from good actors the whole movie was depressing. Few attempts were made to look like CRASH movie but failed miserably. Don't waste your money. :sigh:

      Speaking of truly bad movies rented recently. On the plus side Stranger than Fiction was pretty good so the morale of the story is Will Ferrell should stay away from writing movies and stick to acting in them.

        I quite liked it... it was beautifully shot, and while it certainly kept me uncomfortable for much of the movie, I've found myself thinking about it often since I saw it. Definitely not a movie that takes you to a happy place, but that's not always bad.

          I tried watching Borat and Flyboys over the weekend. They totally sucked as well. (Fortunately, I'd also rented two episodes of Deadwood, an HBO series. It wasn't as good as people claimed--almost nothing HBO produces is--but infinitely better than the first two movies I turned off before they were done.)

            Recently rented Noah Wyle's The Librarian (TNT-made-for-TV-movie). He earns 22 degrees because he's never left college. Wasn't bad. Since becoming a dad, haven't had time to go to the movies except t watch Charlotte's Web with my son, which he sat through for two hours.

              The only great HBO show IMO was their Dream On series. The second Fox made it a public show it died.

                try watching The Other Side Of The Mountain.[^]. I believe the longest someone has watched this movie without projectile vomiting was 9 minutes and 37 seconds. :) Oddly a sequel[^] was made, too. :doh:

                      I haven't like the last few Will Ferrell movies, so I've decided to avoid all of them.

                                I thought it was an excellent movie. I loved how the different stories interconnected with each other.

                                  I'll agree about Deadwood, but you have to admit that 'The Sopranos' is just down right quality television. I don't get HBO so I have to wait until the seasons come out on DVD and spend about 9 hours watching. The first part of the sixth season had me hooked by the second episode.:-D:-D

One of the boys shoots the wife in the bus, who is the mother of the two children back in the US which are in care of the Mexican woman. Did you not pay attention? ;)

                                        I'll agree about Deadwood, but you have to admit that 'The Sopranos' is just down right quality television. I don't get HBO so I have to wait until the seasons come out on DVD and spend about 9 hours watching. The first part of the sixth season had me hooked by the second episode.:-D:-D

                                        Are you kidding? I thought that to be some of the worse, most pointless dreck ever made. The writing was bad, the acting horrible and the production qualities (lighting, editing) dreadful. (One scene sticks in my mind where they repeated the same two minutes of dialog, with slightly different words, over and over for fifteen minutes.)

                                          Last night I rented the Babel movie. Boy, that movie sucked big time. X| Apart from good actors the whole movie was depressing. Few attempts were made to look like CRASH movie but failed miserably. Don't waste your money. :sigh:

                                          I thought It was a very good movie. In fact I watched it last Sunday and I was going to post that it was an excellent movie.:)
