    I would say avoid 2012 like anything.. I've heard it is so bad even the effects can't save it.

    I think I'm going to go see Glorious **** at the discount theater myself tonight

    That was pretty bad unless you like sitting there reading subtitles threw half the movie. I also sort of agree with not seeing 2012 not because I think it will be bad but a lot of morons are out and will be talking and on there cell phones during that movie.

    I would have to go with The Box. I imagine the audiences for 2012 would be enough for the average 21+ year old to want to strangle a nursing puppy.
    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

    But then again... if subtitles are a deal breaker, you may want just want to head on over to 2012.

    Yep that is what I am thinking parents dropping off there brats to the movies and malls and have no intention of shutting up or paying attention ot the movie. I agree.

    Good call on Pirate Radio. I'm thinking that will be on tap for my next voyage to the local cineplex.

    Boondock Saints: II should be fun, but jesus... it's getting destroyed in the reviews. But then again, so did the original.

    Law Abiding Citizen was very very good! A lot of surprises very well put together movie. I thought it was sort of drug out in some aspects but as I said very good movie. Definitely will have to pick up when it comes out on dvd.

    Also pickup this while I was out my first Genesis album!

    Heard "The Box" was lousy. Anyone here seen it?
