Looks to be a good one coming out tomorrow. I've never disliked much that Jeremy Piven has been in. High octane.

I'll be seeing it tomorrow afternoon.

    Including Ellen?

    I'll be seeing that movie as well. You know you're too into HT audio when you're way more excited to rent/see movies when you see they are in DTS.

    Dunno, never watched that show, but hey...can't argue with Entourage. One of the best shows on TV, and most of it is because of him.

    This is going to be the equivalent of Crank for me. Mindless fun for a few hours, and if I get a few laughs it's all the more worth it. The critics hate it for it's lack of depth, exactly what I want.

    Movie was just the perfect action entertainment I needed at the time. It's not a bad movie if you like that sort of thing. Seems like a no brainer. If you can't indulge in pointless entertainment -- don't watch it. If you can, you should like it.

    I will rent it once I find a copy in HD-DVD. My movie trading never gets them in very quickly (HD-DVDs), and BlockBuster doesn't seem to get them in ontime either.

    Is this movie up there with Crank?!?

    One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. I like mindless action (like Crank and The Transporter were fun to me), this was just confused wandering nonsensical garbage to me.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Eeeeessh. I'm the last dude on the planet to come down on a film considering my healthy diet of B-movie schlock, but I was a tad disappointed in this one. I didn't hate it. In fact, I was entertained for the most part. I just expected more of a bad-**** adrenaline rush. One of those movie's that makes you feel cool just watching it. Snatch immediately comes to mind.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Whenever somebody in my group of friends begins to fink out of a Friday/Saturday night out (claiming they're too tired or the girlfriend or wife wants some "alone time"), they always come around by proclaiming...

    "Ah, **** it. I'll do the fight for free!"

    Classic.

    Watched the new one tonight. Went in expecting for a crappy movie with lots of shooting and blood, and that's what I saw. Perfect.

    Yeah. It wasn't a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, i don't even think it was as good as the first one.

    But it was entertaining. I'll probably never watch it again.

    It's called Assassin's Ball or something. Saw it a few days ago.
