I watched " Felon" the other night online. Decent prison movie, but nothing that hasn't been done before. The acting was good with Val Kilmer, Stephne Doriff and Michael from Lost. I would give it a 6.5 rating. It was good enough that if it was on cable and watched it, you wouldn't request a refund for your one and half hours of time spent.

What Happens In Vegas - Somewhat predictable plot but it had it's funny moments. To sum it up it's worth renting.

Agreed.

Mystic River was a very predictable movie, at least for me. I'm talking about the ending.

Just saw Step Brother. Was funny until halfway through every funny bit got old and stale.

Just got Lust Caution from a friend. Haven't watched it yet as it was missing subtitles. Heard it was good.

Pineapple Express

Step Brothers

Swing Vote

Very Very good film....if you like political humor this is a must

The Mummy 3

Just plain old crap....fell alseep halfway through

Adding

Tropic Thunder

Tom Cruise stole the show in this film....unreal how funny he was....I was really shocked by his performance

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

(if your a Star Wars fan...if not then skip it) I took my son to see this and we both liked it....the story was off course very good but the cartoonish style of the movie could have been better

Death Race No thumbs up or down....not great, but not bad either....I was a big fan of Death Race 2000 as a kid so I went to check this out even though I did not think it would be much...and it was better than I thought it would be....some decent action but no real solid story line

Dan in Real Life... sucked

.. Steve Carrel may be the most boring person on the planet that gets to be boring for $. Awful waste of time

The Comebacks. not as shitty as i expected it to be so i guess id say it wasnt bad. Some funny lines. If its on and you have nothing else to watch then you may like it.

Lonesome Jim.. Casey Affleck. I liked this movie even though it is a depressing movie about a depressed guy.

The Fog of War- Won best documentary and it far exceeded my expectations. I knew very little concerning McNamerra and after watching the show I learned more concerning inside the decision making process of the president than I had known in total before.

Cashback - decent British comedy/drama. A little slow at times but not bad overall. A guy breaks up with his girlfriend, regrets it, then withdraws into his own world where he can stop time to observe his surroundings.
