Paper Man
Very Random, very indie, wasn't terrible but I can't say I would recommend it and I'm even a big Reynolds fan too!
girlfriday
How have I missed a Reynolds movie? What oh what is this?
davekim00
He doesn't have a big role in it, Jeff Daniels is the main character, I mean if you got a couple hours to burn, but don't go in expecting much, cuz it's not going to give it to you.
Secretariat
Good solid Disney flick, I'm a bit more partial to Sea Biscuit, but good stuff.
beverlynoelle
Are you a fan of horse movies in general? They always make me want to learn how to ride :D
The Sandlot
Classic...great for the youngsters..
faestina
This movie is so old yet so awesome!
Dinner for Schmucks
Had some funny parts, decent flick, nothing great but worth a watch, especially if you are a Rudd or a Carrell fan.
The American
A bit boring.. if you are a Clooney fan watch it but if not you're not losing much by skipping it. Definitely had an indie feel to it.
dive_philospher
is this clooney's first stab into the indie scene?
gkruis
@dive_philosopher by far not his first stab. his largest alliances are with the so-called 'indy' kings, soderbergh, wes anderson, and the coens (not to mention david o. russell). most of those cats waver between popular flicks (Ocean's 11 franchise) and movies that they 'believe in' (syriana, the good german, good night, and good luck &c). how one defines indy is interesting, but clooney definitely goes in for it a lot.
fnoo
He also directed a Charlie Kaufman flick, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. That was a sort of weird experiment.
gkruis
I thought he did a great job with it. I remember liking it, and Rockwell is always the bees knees. Why weird?
fnoo
On its own merits it's pretty good, and he did some interesting stuff with super-long takes and whatnot. What's weird is how he got involved, how he worked his way up to director, and how he handled the script once he got ahold of it.
gkruis
Oh, I didn't know there was a story there. Was he a conniving bastard - have you read the original script?
What was that script that Kaufman did a version of that we talked about a few months ago? I closed the tab on accident and never found it again.

Get Him to the Greek
Had some really funny parts in it, but I was expecting a little more. Has some pretty crude humor in it, so don't dip in if you don't enjoy that. All in all, pretty good movie.
District 9
Very Enjoyable, a lot better than I was antcipating and I would definitely put my seal of approval on this one.
fnoo
Much better than would expect from a failed attempt at a movie based on Halo.
bturner
Is that really what is was going to be, or am I missing the sarcasm here?
fnoo
No, really. Peter Jackson and Blomkamp were all set to make a Halo movie, when at the last minutes the rights fell through. So basically they made the best of the resources that they already had sitting around, and turned it into an original movie.

Here's a first-hand account:
http://www.hollywood.com/news/Peter_Jackson_Explains_How_Halo_Became_District_9/5674105
What's weird is that the movie was several years in planning, and it wasn't until they'd already put a team together, done a bunch of design work, sketched the thing out, and half-completed the script, that the suits decided they couldn't work together.

The Joneses
Not a bad movie, but don't go out of your way to watch this one. A little on the wierd side.
The Men Who Stare at Goats
It was okay, definitely nothing to tell your friends about, but better than watching the paint on the wall.
impulsebuyer
I enjoyed this actually.
Bedtime Stories
Watched it again with the family, good flick.
Clash of the Titans
Really wanted more out of this flick.. so-so.
fnoo
You might try the original version, with its kick-ass Ray Harryhausen animation.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Not too impressive, I was expecting more, especially with Disney backing this up. No Pirates of the Caribbean here.
The Book of Eli
Surprisingly nice... has kinda the Mad Max feel, not as good but still pretty cool.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Lots of great actors but kind of a let down. Worth a watch but don't go in with too much on the table.
