Up in the Air
Great movie about a transient lifestyle. Super original profession portrayed by George Clooney. Great premise and execution!
chrismolnar love it. so sad and timely.
amyuhrich Good point about the original profession. That alone makes this movie worth watching, even though I tend to forget about it when I think back on the emotional impact.
Assassination of a High School President
Love me some Bruce Willis.
· movie from Netflix
jondercin Man on Fire DEFINITELY. Monty Python and 28 Days later rank up there, too. As far as Bruce Willis goes.... oh geez... I loved Die hard with a Vengeance.
girlfriday Man on Fire! Love it. Have you seen the original? Holy Grail or Life of Brian?
jondercin I have not seen the original! I was referring to Holy Grail, but i've seen life of brian, meaning of life and most of the flying circus series. It's amazing what an influence they had on sketch comedy!
girlfriday Holy Grail is incredible. Love the Pythons. Wish there was more irreverent, nonsense sketch these days.
jondercin Have you ever seen, 'That Mitchell and Webb look' ? British. Sketch. GLORIOUS. AND! On Netflix streaming!
gkruis Did this just come out? I have never heard of it.
Community - Competitive Wine Tasting
Good episode. I feel like it was a filler, though. Still funny.
· tv episode "Competitive Wine Tasting" from Hulu
gkruis It could be interesting if they moved away from the formula. Probably won't, but if they had to work together on something, rather than always against each other. They'll probably just introduce another annoying character who messes everything up.
jondercin Super excited about Catherine Tate! Big Dr. Who fan... She would make a spectacular edition to the characters!
fnoo If you've seen The Catherine Tate Show, you'll know what range and genuine talent she has as a character actor.
gkruis I'm not familiar with her. What else is she in?
fnoo Not much outside of UK stage and TV. Some Charles Dickens made-for-TV stuff. Walk-ons in various sitcoms and procedurals. But over there, she's maybe about as recognizable as Tina Fey. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is her first gig on a US-based show.
fnoo Couple of clips from her show: http://bit.ly/c0LBvi http://bit.ly/jpjNLf

And her best episode of Doctor Who (in full, probably temporarily): http://bit.ly/mCxRSM
Red
Not as good as I had hoped. Entertaining and over the top, yes. Great movie? No. Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman are good characters but John Malkovich steals the show. I only wish he had been the main character.

The Stand
Oh Stephen King. The cinematography is definitely from the 90's, it is reminiscent of all those corny Cop dramas or reenactment series. The acting is also something to be desired but the content is very good. I wish it had the production quality of IT...

Weeds
Getting to season three things start to get real crazy and over the top. I don't think I like Nancy... She's kinda thick.

Can I talk up this show any more? Is there anyone that won't give it a chance? I will review this show as many times as it takes so that people know how great it is.

saunieindiego What kind a of show is it?
jondercin It is a British show about cars. It sounds lame, but I assure you, car lover or not, it is glorious. They drive super cars, crummy cars, and strange cars. They participate in challenges where, for example, they race against a super car against a 200 mph train across the country to see which is faster. They throw bad cars using pneumatic trucks like darts at targets. SO MUCH MORE!
The Expendables
AWFUL Movie. OMFG. So Bad. The ONLY redeeming factor were all of the cameos. That is ALL.

girlfriday Bruce Willis was awesome. The rest of it... maybe not so much.
marisol_reyes The cast was great...all those hasbeen actors we loved so much in the 80s and 90s. Glad to see all of them. But Randy Cotoure sucked, he definitely needs to stick to MMA. It had so many ridiculous things going on...its so bad its good. At least when watching it in an altered state of mind
gkruis Agreed. Altered states necessary. The dialog and plot were so outrageous, you just had to laugh.
beverlynoelle Have you grown them yet? :D
drpepper234 My mom uses these in the summer she uses them for more than just tomatoes they make for some pretty good summer salads.
amyuhrich Cool! I've always wanted to grow my own tomatoes. Does anyone know if you can do it indoors? ;)
jondercin I haven't grown them yet and I am not sure if you can do it indoors, I would assume yes if you provided enough sunlight! I still need to get the tomato plant!
amyuhrich That just makes me so excited, except I can't really keep plants because I hate dealing with it when I travel (pets are hard enough). What kind of tomatoes? I really like those Sungold ones (the tiny little yellow/orange ones...so sweet)!
The Joneses
GREAT find. Excellent and very original story. Fantastic. Must recommend.

Daybreakers
The beginning was captivating and very original. About half way through it starts getting old and... too far fetched.
The Machinist
Dark, good, psychological, and makes me feel fat.

michaelaking one of the best shows and most entertaining shows on TV
jondercin Absolutely. I am watching the entire series over start to finish. It is really interesting seeing the hosts' personalities grow and develop as they get into their comfort zone. James May, especially since he joined in season 2 and the new guy. Jeremy started off pretty conservative himself. The transition is really cool to see.
Lost
Just finished. Last season was ... entertaining, but nothing like the first two, or event he third season.
