Ooooo.....I can't wait to see his new collaborative effort (mockumentary) with Hugo Chavez.

I hear next up on his plate is a Documentary with Kim Jong Il, maybe we'll all get lucky and Stone will get locked up in N. Korea for being a spy.

Seriously, if you want a good, funny, entertaining movie from last year, go rent Religulous, while Bill Maher is nowhere near as funny as he used to be, there are still a few laughs to be had in this film. We can only long for the days when Maher was playing characters in films like "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death", or "House II: The Second Story".

Both of which I would recommend over above mentioned films.

Funny, becuase I think 51% of people back in 2004 made a tragedy for 100% of us

That is they didn't get the joke from 2000.

I just watched The Outlaw Josey Wales. Definitely one of Eastwoods finest.

i've been watched Season 1 of the Real Ghostbusters for the past week, catching 2-3 episodes a day - finally on the last disc but not that I'm complaining....i feel like a kid on saturday all over again.

Friday I watched the Director's Cut of Watchmen (love this movie) just ****ed that i shelled out the $20 for the 2 disc set instead of waiting till December for the ultimate 5 disc set with the Tales of the Black Freighter spliced back in.

Yeah, that was a really good movie. I liked how he kept spitting tobaccy juice on that dog's head throughout the picture.

---

“Old Surehand” (Stewart Granger) and his Indian friend Winnetou (Pierre Brice) guide a wagon train of settlers into Indian country and fend off a fiendish oil speculator and his hired guns in the banal 1966 western Rampage at Apache Wells.

A newlywed couple witness a pair of hired killers making a hit on a businessman but the two are caught and the new bride raped in the avoidable 1973 mystery crime drama Nightmare Honeymoon. For some reason, the hit men leave the couple alive, so the husband, recently back from Vietnam, tracks them down again and takes his revenge.

A professor of music is haunted and tormented by the vengeful spirit of her former friend and musical rival, whom she killed in an automobile accident in the 2005 Korean horror movie Cello.

Is that the joke where Al Gore could have been President if he had managed to carry his own home state of TN (from which he had been both a US Congressman AND US Senator) in the Presidential election?

Hahaha

Even, former MN US Senator, Walter Mondale carried Minnesota in 1984.

Yeah, that was pretty funny.....couldn't even carry is own home State.

Keep politics in the Rancor Pit, folks. This is for movie reviews and whatnot, not your political thoughts.

A group of black buddies put their Vietnamese guerrilla warfare training to good use back home battling redneck Klansmen in the awful 1976 blaxploitation action film Brotherhood of Death. The Vietnamese “jungle” scenes looked like they were shot in a local park.

After they buy an old house, a young couple is haunted by the ghost of a woman who is searching for her lost love in the watchable 2005 Thai horror film the Ghost of Mae Nak. The ghost also takes vengeance on anyone who crosses the young couple, which makes for plenty of imaginative and gory deaths.

Ooops, I thought this was the Pit. jk I'll stop now.

Well, I watched "Knowing" and "A Haunting in Connecticut" this weekend.

Knowing was pretty good, I enjoyed the ending.

Haunting was terribly annoying. It seems the director felt that loud annoying noises = scary. I swear ever time a ghost popped up there was that annoying gotcha blast of.......whatever that noise was. It was really distracting. Note to director, sometime less is more, as in less annoying loud noises, more quiet creepy gotcha.
