A Boy Named Seo

Angelina Jolie stars in this Clint Eastwood-directed film about a 1920's California mom whose kid disappears one day while she's working. When the corrupt LAPD bumbles the investigation, they try to make her keep a kid that's not hers to save themselves from more negative press. Based on horrific true events. Jolie is awesome. So is John Malkovich. I'd put $5 bucks on this thing winning some kind of award for costume or set design. Really good movie.

I get that. Sometimes the audience laughter made it seem like a joke at first, but I think their laughter was kinda joyful, too. Seeing old people sing Sonic Youth is funny, but it also seemed to make everyone feel good - the singers, the audience, and the director. That guy does have his faults, for sure, but he no doubt genuinely cares about the members of the choir. It made me feel good, so I liked it.

Boo.

Seawolf, you're my little buttercup. My vote makes it 2-15. The comeback is on.

"Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?" Better Off Dead, all the way.

Cool, man. Let me know where I can mail you the other half of this thing. Oh, and "Waterword" kicks ass. "Howard the Duck", too.

Oops. Sorry, dudes.

Yeah, that gay thing's not in my queue. *cough cough* At least you can blame it on your lady. I got nuthin'. Edit: Oh, I thought you were gonna watch that, too. I'm the only dork here apparently.

Oh, I gotcha. Mine's this: http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/PaK9HRgkbgJBK2aQDT61 Edgy, there's a period at the end of your link that's muckin' things up. I always have to logout and log back in before I can see new buddies. Not sure if that's the deal for everyone else.

It's not so much a community like here, but you can add contacts on the "Friends & Community" tab in Netflix after you login. Directly under the tab is a link to "Invite Friends". You plug-in their email address and after they accept, they appear under your "Friends and Favs". There you can see what they've watched, what they've queued, what they've rated, and using the "Notebook" feature, you can send recommendations and correspond through the site about movies. It's pretty cool. You even have Baseball-Reference style sim scores with your friends. I think there's privacy features where you can keep peeps from seeing the stuff you watch, but I've not messed with it.

Yeah, I'm stoopid about movies, so it's been good makin' movie pals. A little embarrassing when I queue up stupid shit, but my friends won't judge me, right? Right?

Young @ Heart is documentary about a group of seniors in Massachusetts who play covers of contemporary songs like you never heard 'em before. They rock your socks off and jerk tears from your eyes all at once. Cool flick.

Solid. Gave it a 4. Love how "deadly" was such a commonly used adjective. Thinking of hiring all two of 'em to play my next house party.

One of the best nights I've had recently involved not finishing this movie.

Watched this one yesterday and liked it. An American company is oustourcing one of its phone sales departments to India. One of the guys getting squeezed out goes there to get the new place up and running. At my current job, I deal directly with the IT departments for two very large call centers in Bangalore, so this one was maybe a little cooler for me. It's kind of like that Tom Selleck movie "Mr. Baseball", where the stubborn American goes to a foreign country, is unaccepting of their culture and customs at first, and then finally embraces it. Except it's good.

There's a good story of friendship and loyalty under the cute and funny stuff, and there's a couple of awesome, artsy dream sequences, too. I bet the ladies love "Son of Rambow".

Quiet, shy kid from an ultra-religious family partners up with the school troublemaker to try and win a TV show amateur movie contest. Hilarity ensues.

Agree w/ Irish on everything cept the big screen TV part. Ain't got one. The music was completely awesome in this film and DDL's milkshake could bring all the boys to the yard. I mean he was good. Real good.

Just saw it today (Netflix, no video store, sorry), and loved, loved, loved it. Edgy's paragraph synopsis is perfect. See it.

IMDB. There was a thread about this movie a while back. A link to an article or something in the NBF, but I couldn't find it. Watched it today. Fuck, man. Heavy movie. I thought it was probably what it set out to be. A documentary that tells the story of people with depression or mental illness who want to kill themselves by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. The movie pieces together those stories by talking to friends and loved ones of the people who jumped, and we learn about help they did or didn't get, signs they did or didn't give, and how those left behind are affected. Thing is, is to tell these stories, the filmmaker manned a camera from across the water pointing at the bridge, watched people walk up and find a place to hurtle themselves from, and taped them "Faces of Death"-style climbing over the rail and throwing themselves to their deaths. Some of the people I imagine nothing could've been done. Some of them, though, are clearly contemplating and he knows it, otherwise he wouldn't be making this movie and filming those particular people. Some of them stood looking over the same spot for way long enough to call the Bridge Patrol or somebody or something, but he didn't and that kinda grossed me out. That said, the movie, I guess, accomplished its goals. It's hard as hell to watch, though.

I went niner. Best movie film I looked at in a long time.

I thought it was pretty good, Casey Affleck was awesome, and some of the camera shots that were blurry on the perimeter, but in focus in the center (landscape scenes and through old west, warped windows) were very cool looking.

Scariest horror movie you'll ever see! IMDB.
