After that i watched Ichi the Killer which was alright but not what i expected. Then i watched Shrek always liked the first one the best.

Permalink Reply by Hitch on September 7, 2008 at 5:42pm: lol, no i didn't loose any money,but i know how it is to loose your ass, been there, done that and still haven't learned. Yeah i have a bit of a problem with movies, that's all i watch. Since half the garbage on tv is just that. I'd sooner watch movies.

The Sunday night comfort viewing currently running is The Spy Who Loved Me, for my money the best of the Roger Moore Bond films.

It's a very good movie and has a pretty good message in it about how people shouldn't judge other people before they get to know them, no matter what they look like. I give it 4 stars.

While flipping channels on the tube yesterday I found Ice Road Truckers S2 (4 stars). A friend told me I should check it out so I did. It was a marathon and I watched the whole day. Added season 1 to my queue.

Date Movie - This is what happens when I let someone else handle the movie-renting and alcohol-buying... I would have rather watched pretty much anything else. Anyway, this lives up to the level of quality we've all come to expect from this series - It's just as unfunny as the other "Movie" movies. I'm not sure that simply re-filming scenes from other movies and making them less funny than they were originally counts as "parody". Not even worth a rating. I had no idea that Alysson Hannigan was this desperate for work. Oh, and the wine sucked, too.

Love on a Diet - Cute Chinese romantic comedy. Not mind-blowing or even really that great but it was pleasant to watch and basically did everything that I wanted it to do. Sammi Cheng was delightful as usual. Good movie. 4 stars.

It's congressional testimony from a programmer who worked for a Florida computer company...I plan on seeing Uncounted, but frankly this stuff makes me feel nausea the entire time I'm watching.
