You ready? You look ready.
Lethal Weapon (d. Richard Donner, 1987)- Just as great as the first time I watched it.
Shiqi sui de dan che (Beijing Bicycle) (d. Xiaoshuai Wang, 2001)- I loved this movie. Great story.
The Gods Must Be Crazy (d. Jamie Uys, 1980)- At times really stupid. My favorite part was with the car with no brakes.
Buffalo '66 (d. Vincent Gallo, 1998)- Minus the large amounts of foul language, it wasn't that bad.

WTF happened there? Really funny movie and all but i was stunned at the fact that we were supposed to believe that was her on that bike.

See the original French flick, which is loads of fun.

Do you speak Spanish? I don't and I found this movie really needed subtitles. I even had to use captioning to understand some of the english. Other than that the movie was only Ok in my opinion. But the concept was a good one.

Gummo, I don't speak spanish fluently but I am pretty darn close to it. Even so, there was a time or two with me as well that I had trouble understanding what was being said, but I just hit the backtrack button and listened again and everything was gravy from there.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (d. Mike Hodges, 2003) 5.5 out of 10



Life Is Beautiful - One of my favorite movies. A true story. Robert B. is the definition of physical comedy and to be able to direct and star is an achievement in its self.

Don't give me no flack about Chaplin being the king of physical comedy, he was good too.

I'll keep that in mind...I'm seeing it after work tomorrow night.
