I’m a lead farmer, motherf*cker!! Watched Tropic Thunder this weekend.  It was 2 hours of pure, fun ridiculousness, but with lines like this — “I’m like a little boy, holding his dick when he’s nervous”, who could complain? There were plenty of GREAT cameos, Ben Stiller was his consistent funny self, Robert Downey Jr. was awesome, and thankfully, there was a manageable dose of Jack Black. Here’s my running good/bad movie tally: Good:Tropic ThunderThe Dark KnightBe Kind, RewindInside ManGet SmartWall-E Bad:Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullThe HappeningBlueberry Nights

Em and I rented 3 movies on a little Blockbuster run last week, and it got me thinking…why count on the %s, grades, stars and other movie review systems offered by rottentomatoes.com or Yahoo! movies?  I don’t really want to know in long-winded detail why someone thought a movie sucked or blew them away.  Just tell me if the movie was good or bad, sucky or not-sucky.  I’m going to start populating my own list, starting with what I’ve seen in the last 3 months: Good:The Dark KnightBe Kind, RewindInside ManGet SmartWall-E Bad:Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullThe HappeningBlueberry Nights The last movie I watched was Be Kind, Rewind.  It was a neat little movie with heart.  No overacting or crazy special effects, just likeable characters and lots of creative spin.

My friend Pong shared this video of Baron Davis and Steve Nash in their movie spoof of Step Brothers on ibeatyou.com. Check it out! It’s basically just the two of them dressed up as dorks and messing around on the streets of LA. I guess Baron is enjoying his new surroundings.

I watched Inside Man with Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster today, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Besides the fact that Denzel is the best actor of our generation, the movie also has a great plot (some nice twists and turns, but not overly confusing), good suspense and interesting cinematography going for it.

I also found it ironic that Christopher Plummer became famous playing Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, refusing the Third Reich and running away from the Nazis…but in this movie, he plays a bank chairman who made his fortune by dealing with the Nazis during the war.

Last note: Clive Owen is pretty badass. With this movie, Shoot ‘Em Up and Sin City, he’s fast becoming one of my favorite actors.
