This section has been dead, and since it seems like nobody ,including me, heads to the theaters maybe it will pick up the next few weeks, some allegedly good movies come to cable

Pineapple Express
Eagle Eye
Burn After Reading
Wanted
Ghost Town

Pineapple Express and Eagle Eye didn't do much for me.

Haven't seen any of the others.

I thought Pineapple Express was hilarious. Burn After Reading was ok; had some funny parts, but not as good as all the hype imo. Wanted was too weird for me. Didn't see the others yet. Go check out The Hangover; it's a funny flick.

Agreed.

NJD - I see why you put the " " in "good" cause that list is quite disappointing.

I do have a question though. It seems like you do enjoy movies quite a lot but it's like you're being held hostage by HBO and cable. Are you against doing what millions of other people are doing to get a free "illegal" copy of all recent popular (or not) movies out there? I know watching on the TV is a big factor for people when watching movies but what I do is hook up the laptop to a big screen tv and get a wonderful viewing experience.

Burn After Reading was really really stupid

Wanted was good

Pineapple was average

Eagle Eye had the best car chase scene ever. I loved that movie
