Funny as hell, my cheekbones were hurting at the end of the movie. - Jorge "JungleG" Escobar via Bookmarklet
I heard it was really good. I haven't heard anyone saw otherwise. I'll probably go see it tomorrow. - Jason Huebel

A-List Names Weren’t Enough for ‘Moneyball’ Film Project - NYTimes.com
»[…] the heady rush toward production was halted by a studio suddenly confronted by plans for something artier and more complex than bargained for.[…]« - because the world needs another "thinking man's sport" movie like I don't know. Good riddance to another Pitt vanity project where Good and Evil come to a head on a baseball pitch. - ianf ⌘

"there’s at least one P2P release group that produces XviD (*.avi) BRRips in true 720p HD resolution - beautiful picture quality and AC3 6-channel audio that will play back on some DivX/XviD compatible standalone DVD players, as well as game consoles such as the PS3 & XBOX360. For DVD playback, simply burn as a data disk - no converting, no transcoding." - LANjackal via Bookmarklet
Just downloaded one, burned it to a DVD-R and it works on my 360 :). Finally I have something high-def to watch while my PS3 is in the shop :) :) :) - LANjackal
PTM>>>>IPT. Only thing going for IPT is having iPhone formatted movies/tv releases. Don't waste your bandwidth on that tracker. Pretome also has the added benefit of having no global ratio to worry about. - Adi

"No matter how old, successful or powerful you are - and no matter how much in command of your life you may be - love and sex can still make a complete idiot out of you, under the right (or wrong) circumstances. This truth plays out often enough in public life, and it's the subject of "The Girl From Monaco," an odd and slightly comic thriller from France from director Anne Fontaine." - LANjackal via Bookmarklet

Seriously... this looks interesting. I wonder if it will make its way stateside? - Brad Williamson
Can't find on Netflix :( - LANjackal
@LAN I don't think this one has hit theaters yet. - Brad Williamson
@Brad: I know but Netflix will often allow you to save currently unavailable items to your queue - LANjackal via IM
Ah haaaa ;-) i also think this is an Australian film. Maybe that's another reason why??? - Brad Williamson
idk, but if it's anything like "Legend of Ron Jeremy" it should be hilarious as hell. Although ironically you don't need expose documentaries for behind the scenes looks. Lots of starlets have Twitter accounts and post pics of what they're up (i.e. their regular lives) to throughout the day. - LANjackal
I know this sounds strange, but I really kinda want to see this because it's supposed to be more of an art film than a movie about perno. BUT, of course, the perno element ain't hurtin' my intrigue ;-) - Brad Williamson
What an intriguing photo. Where can I get more porn like this? - Eric Normand
Considering there's no nudity in the picture ... lol - LANjackal via IM

"Ever cooler is the fact that in addition to pre-ordering, you can also vote for your favourite DVD cover. Unfortunately, the three choices that they have available aren’t all that fantastic. I know that they’re going for an old school horror look, but these just look like bargain bin titles to me." - Shevonne via Bookmarklet
I chose the red cover - Shevonne
Yep, red cover. =) - Beau (והאראסי) Liening

Resident Evil 4 Confirmed, Shooting Later This Year?  #movies
"Shock Till You Drop has some exclusive bad news: Screen Gems and Sony are racing to get another Resident Evil film in the can for release on September 17, 2010. Given the end of the third film, participation of Milla Jovovich is likely, and we know that Paul W.S. Anderson (director of the first film, writer and producer of all three previous movies) is writing this one, and will likely produce but not direct. What more is there to say? A little bit, actually, and it’s after the jump." - Shevonne via Bookmarklet
If they follow straight from the end of the third one, this one should have a bunch of Millas. I'm cool with that. :) - Jandy
What Jandy said. - Joe Pierce
hahaha - Shevonne
Am I the only one who finds Milla Jovovich utterly unremarkable (in terms of looks)? - Brett Kelly
Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. - Shevonne
Now, yes; but you should have seen her back when she was a teen model. HAWT! - vijay via iPhone
I do love her!!!Wow great pic of her...look at her wicked eyes!!!Wow - Lady In Black

The Universe Doesn’t Hate Us: No Heathers Sequel #movies
"Every time Winona Ryder does something that interests the movie press (something that doesn’t involve getting arrested) she talks about a Heathers sequel. Listening to Ryder, you’d think there was a packaged project all ready to go, waiting in a studio exective’s office with a white sheet thrown over it, just waiting to be revealed like a classy sculpture. Not so, said original director Michael Lehmann when interviewed by Movieline." - Shevonne via Bookmarklet
Thank the lord for small favors.. I hated that movie.. I'm not real big on Wynona Ryder anyway - Scratch5150

Fwd: Depp as Vamp? Tim Burton Probes Dark Shadows | Underwire | Wired.com - http://www.wired.com/underwi... (via http://friendfeed.com/drewt33...)
I can't even express how excited I am that Burton is working on this. I remember seeing quotes from Depp (years ago) that he'd like to play Barnabas Collins, so I am hoping, hoping, hoping that is still the case. - Jennifer Dittrich
A Burton/Depp view of Collinswood would be quite a treat indeed! - Drew

This is the one film I will make time to go see this Summer. The reviews and trailer look fascinating. - Andrew Leyden
looking forward to this. - Karim
This looks like the dude from SWAT. If it's anything like that movie (which is a dumb assumption I'll admit), count me out. - Mitch
It is the dude from SWAT & 28 Weeks Later but read the reviews (or at least watch the trailer). *91 on metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/film... - Andrew Leyden
Can't access media from work, but I'll try to remember to watch it later. This movie isn't a limited release or anything is it? - Mitch
It is out today in NY & LA and then more cities on July 10 I think (or nationwide on July 10). - Andrew Leyden
It's good - Ahsan Ali
Looks like another one of those "gonna be great but hard to watch" ones - Michael W. May
good (maybe a tiny bit spoilerish) description of the opening scene by the director at http://www.nytimes.com/interac... -- they apparently used a Phantom camera by Vision Research to get 10,000 frames per second. more 10,000 fps clips of various things here: http://www.visionresearch.com/index... - Karim
It's unbearably suspenseful, but there isn't much gore if I remember correctly. - Ahsan Ali
Gonna try to sneak and watch this movie this weekend. - Amani
Saw it last year and was thoroughly impressed.Surprised it took them so long for a general release. - Adi

Official Trailer for Ashton Kutcher's Indie Comedy 'Spread' - http://www.firstshowing.net/2009...
Official Trailer for Ashton Kutcher's Indie Comedy 'Spread'
"Anchor Bay Films has debuted a trailer for the Ashton Kutcher indie comedy Spread. I know that quite a few people hate Kutcher, but even so, I hope they'll give this indie a chance. Spread premiere at Sundance in January which is where I first got to see it. Let me to tell you, this movie has lots of sex, I mean a lot of sex in it. After seeing it, I wasn't sure what to think, and I wasn't sure if I even liked it. But as time has gone on, I've found myself thinking about it more, not just for the sex, but for the iconic Hollywood story that it tells. It also seems like a story about Kutcher's actual life in Hollywood. You'll see what I mean. Check this out! Watch the official trailer" - Amani via Bookmarklet
Definitely don't hate him. He's super cool, the kind of guy who inexplicably winds up dominating every conversation or group he drops in to. We all know people like that. I think he's much better as a comedian (which technically he's not) than an actor - LANjackal

"The full theatrical trailer for the animated 3D film Planet 51 has appeared at Yahoo. The film is about a human astronaut (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) who lands on an alien planet, only to discover that it looks exactly like Earth. Sure, the denizens are green aliens, but otherwise they’re just like us…and not too happy to have an alien invader in their midst. Gary Oldman, Jessica Biel, Justin Long and John Cleese are also in the voice cast. Joe Stillman (Shrek and Shrek 2, the upcoming Gulliver’s Travels) is credited with the script and Jorge Blanco, Javier Abad and Marcos Martinezare co-directed. See the trailer after the jump." - Shevonne via Bookmarklet

The Allmovie Blog » Public Enemies: The AMG Review
"Michael Mann’s 2009 crime thriller Public Enemies tells the story of Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger — in the most brooding and serious terms possible. You might think that a movie about one of the most beloved badasses in criminal history would be all about explosiveness and fun. But, then again, you’d probably think the same thing about a movie adaptation of Miami Vice. Exuberance just isn’t Mann’s style, and for people who want a little payoff or satisfaction in their 2.5 hours of plodding, teeth-grinding intensity, that will be a problem. But for people who loved Heat, this is a tour de force." - LANjackal via Bookmarklet
I ♥'d Heat, so I'll definitely be catching this movie! Plus it was shot in the Chi :) - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

"Twenty-plus years after his role as undercover police officer Tom Hanson on the TV show “21 Jump Street” made him a teen idol, Johnny Depp has carved out a fascinating career filled with bold acting choices. Now, as Public Enemies hits theaters, here’s a look back at the 10 best movies of Johnny Depp’s career." - Shevonne via Bookmarklet
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. Favorite actor of all time. - Dave - SustainedEuphoria
hmm... difficult to limit to 10, but my list would need Don Juan DeMarco and Benny & Joon on it. Dead Man is one of my favourite films. Depp is the best of his generation, methinks. - Michael W. May
How did "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" not make the list? Miss you Hunter S. Thompson. - Dave - SustainedEuphoria
Nightmare on Elm Street should have been there. I'm glad that "Dead Man" was there - Shevonne
