^ Yeah Swimming Pool brings back some memories.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I thought basically the girl was just some plain old chick and the woman made everything up in her head.

7/3/2012 7:56:04 PM

the plain chick she saw at the end was the daughter right? I may need to watch teh end again, it was definitely the daughter at first and then it looked like it changed to someone else

7/3/2012 8:01:50 PM

Yes. From what I understand the girl was always plain looking and boring all along. The old woman was just imagining all the lurid shit that happened.

seasons 1 & 2 of "The Inbetweeners" was just added. And they are bringing the movie to the US in a couple more months.

7/13/2012 8:10:43 PM

The Inbetweeners movie was surprisingly good.

newest (Billy Bob Thornton) Bad News Bears is out

i'm about 25 minutes into it, not bad

If it hasn't been said already, Sherlock. It'd a TV series produced by BBC, but the episodes are an hour and a half long, so about the length of a short movie.

-1 recommendation for Melancholia.

7/15/2012 4:30:58 PM

I suggest Running The Sahara.

It's not that it's really awesome or really good. I liked it enough. But the reason why it's so interesting is that it introduces you to a guy named Charlie Engle. Engle is a North Carolina native, his father played freshman basketball at UNC under Dean Smith, his grandfather ran XC and track at UNC, and then he also went to UNC. Engle ended up getting really into alcohol and drugs, especially crack cocaine and then got clean and started running and doing ultramarathons (long races like 100+ miles of jogging etc). So anyways, Running The Shara is about him and two of his friends starting at the Atlantic Ocean in Senegal and running all the way to the Red Sea in Egypt. No one has ever done this before.

So why do I want you to care about Engle. Throughout the documentary you start to see the douche come out of Engle, but really he's running like 40 miles miles a day through the Sahara, it's to be expected. The point of all of this is what happens to Engle after this movie was released.

Apparently, a federal agent saw the documentary and got fixated on Charlie Engle. He thought how would it be possible that a man from NC could afford to take the time to train for this and then do it. So hellbent on finding out how, he started going through this man's tax records and found nothing. Then he went to the man's house and went through his trash and found nothing. Then he got an attractive woman to wear a wire and flirt with him to find information...

it's insane.

/wall of words, I just found it interesting

Goon


great film.

7/16/2012 4:27:05 PM

I've seen Heckler a few times. Really good.

7/16/2012 4:28:25 PM

Is Goon really great? I see Sean William Scott on the cover and 'great' doesn't come to mind. Doesn't even really even enter the thought process.

7/16/2012 4:43:57 PM

it's probably his most sincere role he's ever had and one of, if not, the first movies he was in after an extensive rehab.

it's definitely worth the 90 minutes and there are a lot of laughs mixed in with a good underdog story. plus it's got Liev Schreiber

7/16/2012 4:58:28 PM

I'm sold, but I'm taking it out on you if I don't like it.

7/16/2012 5:00:50 PM

I liked Goon a lot. Very pleasant surprise. Funny and heart-felt.

It's by no means "great" though

7/16/2012 5:07:01 PM

^^duly noted.

7/16/2012 5:12:35 PM

watched the first 15 minutes or so of Goon, very funny

plus it has Ricky, Julian and Bubbles

7/17/2012 12:24:50 AM

ok so Ricky, Julian and Bubbles basically have 10 second, non-speaking cameos

but its still a good movie

7/17/2012 1:44:02 AM

Sexy French Films?:

Secret Things - A dark movie with a lot of nudity, playing on the theme, "Whoever cares less wins, until they lose."

Water Lillies - Haven't seen it yet, but ... it's supposed to be a hot/thoughtful, French girls coming of age story ...

The documentary "Elevate" is pretty cool. Follows some senegalese basketball players as they move to America to study and play ball.

7/17/2012 9:40:28 AM

been watching Carrier, 10 episode documentary on a deployment with the USS Nimitz. Pretty interesting stuff.

7/17/2012 2:51:07 PM

Goon was good.

7/17/2012 3:37:10 PM

Louis CK's standup special was pretty good, about an hour long, from 2009 i think

and if you've watched his TV show Louie, only about 3-4 minutes of the special will be stuff he used on there

7/17/2012 7:39:38 PM

Goon also has Slave Famous in the starring role

7/17/2012 9:38:35 PM

Drive + 1

7/17/2012 10:43:28 PM

Update on Water Lilies: Not that hot ... Perplexing ... Maybe a woman would understand it better.

7/18/2012 12:35:23 AM

Ironclad is pretty fucking gruesome

7/18/2012 9:14:13 PM

Goon

Probably not a good date movie I liked it but it was kinda violent, not Driver violent, but I still got queasy and couldn't walk the BF to the door afterwards

Seann William Scott was a lot different than I thought he would be. In all, I really liked it.

7/19/2012 10:41:37 PM

if you like takashi miike, sukiyaki western: django is pretty solid. not his best but a good time nonetheless. its basically a martial arts/spaghetti western

7/21/2012 6:54:27 PM

has anyone watched Transsiberian?

7/21/2012 7:27:00 PM

does it have woody harrelson

I watched it a while back but it wasnt interesting enough for me to really remember much about it

7/21/2012 7:29:24 PM

yeah, that's the one. if it wasn't that good i'll take it off my queue.

7/21/2012 7:54:31 PM

I'm not certain I even finished it, its rated high but it wasnt interesting enough to distract me form the computer.

7/21/2012 7:56:55 PM

elevate is a really really good documentary about senegalese basketball players trying to make it in the us, one of which is assan sene who played at uva the past few years

also kudos to whomever recommended carrier, 10 minutes in and I can tell I'm gonna dig it

7/22/2012 12:34:49 AM

Watched True Grit last night. Enjoyed it, but partial to the original.

7/22/2012 12:33:30 PM

I really enjoy watching tv shows on netflix...I wish they had more that I'd be into.

7/22/2012 1:16:43 PM

I've watched the first 5 episodes of carrier and its really good. sometimes it feels like an mtv reality show though but still very good

7/22/2012 3:20:34 PM

Another vote for Goon.

7/23/2012 10:20:35 PM

Season 5 of The Whitest Kids You Know if on there

not as good as the earlier seasons, but not bad

too much time spent on The Civil War on Drugs imo

7/24/2012 11:19:50 PM

Saps, thanks for recommending Carrier. Really enjoying the first two episodes.
