I ran across The Descendants, which I had never had any interest in seeing, and thought it was pretty fun. Well, for a movie about the family of an adulteress in a coma. It almost made me like Hawaiian music.

We saw that recently and liked it. I generally like Clooney movies.Originally Posted by Hildegard
Saw Life of Pi in 3D last weekend. Pretty great movie, in my opinion. Stunning visually for sure. And I'm not a 3D fan usually. I would highly recommend it to almost anyone. I hear they compare it to Avatar in the commercials, which is way off in every sense. Far more visually compelling than that.
AC, where did you see it in 3d?
Thinking about watching Inception on tee vee tonight. Should I bother?

prometheus - idris elba's faux-redneck accent, guy pearce's silly old-man make-up, logan marshall-green's blankness, and a mostly wasted sean harris aside, this is pretty great. beautiful on blu-ray. the squid baby scene is one of the more terrifying bits of cronenberg body horror i've ever seen.
stake land - holy shit. see this immediately.
speaking of doomsday...
really enjoyed melancholia. have always been fond of kiki and it was great to see her doing something so substantial. lars is well on his way to becoming my favorite director.

As good as any opening for me to post this. Which I really only posted for this one great quote:
Julia Roberts if from freakin' Georgia, but her accent in Steel Magnolias sounded more like she was trying to mimic a deaf person. "Pank is mah sig-nuh-chuh coluh." Who the hell talks like that?It's that generic cornpone drawl that Hollywood would usually have us believe everyone below the Mason-Dixon line speaks," the magazine fumed. "To natives of the south, this refusal to acknowledge what are in many cases profoundly different regional dialects can be pretty grating/laughable/offensive.
Top 10 Worst Movie Accents
http://movies.about.com/od/toppicks/...ie-Accents.htmAll right, we all love Dick Van Dyke but as Bert the charming chimney sweep in this Disney classic, his accent is far from realistic. Maybe you can justify it by saying that it's a comic role in a children's film, but even then it's still bad. His attempt at a British cockney accent was deemed so awful that the term "Van Dyke accent" is used in England to describe failed attempts by Americans to sound British. 'Nuff said, guv'ner?
