Yeah i was going to include a special exception for Alien but I decided that the post read better without it.
And I think that you've been proven right on that point but obviously you already knew that hence the whole post thing.

Aren't you gonna ask which movie the other one is?
Also. The last movie I saw: The Boat that Rocked.
It made me laugh a few times. Not the best thing I ever saw, but it did have two thirds of the IT Crowd in the ensamble whilst being amusing in a mellow feel-good sort of way, I thought.

Since it was good and entailed aliens I was assuming Borat.Aren't you gonna ask which movie the other one is?
As for The Boat That Rocked I was going to download it as the topic and cast interested me and then I read a bunch of unfavourable reviews and decided against it.
So I guess I missed out then didn't I since I like mellow and feel-good.
Is the music featured much? I'm a fan of 60's music .I just downloaded some Walker Brothers onto my Ipod in fact.

Well. I ended up adding a few tunes to my spotify playlist while watching that, so I'll say it featured some classics I know I heard growing up.
I'm sure that had I been a bit older or more knowledgable about music from that era I'd recognised and appreciated the selection even more.
Also. Blade Runner. Might not be to everyone's taste but I consider it a classic, visions of unicorns and all.
EDit: I don't think I really answered the question. So: Yes, there was music, and you noticed it. But mostly other things distracted me, and I can't say I'd describe the movie as being about the music primarily.

It's not suppose to make you cry, it's a character study of a man who finds that in life you don't get to choose what you love.
It's also brilliantly directed so much so that you can actually feel the heat and taste the dust if you try hard enough.
And the whole point is that there are no easy answers or quick and tidy solutions.
Just go and watch Avatard

Well it should have.I still remember bambie,crash, and king kong for that fact.Can you really say that you liked it better then jarhead?It wasnt emotional but it was fuuny.Saying that.I know what you mean by "you can actually feel the heat and taste the dust if you try hard enough."I felt that also but quickly got bored of it.Only took about a half hour,Gotta give them credit for not trying this effect with a shakky cameria.I know why its highly rated and i do like it.But its just alright.

The Other Guys - 2010
horrible film with shitty everything. well, not everything for eva mendez is super hot. i thought i was gonna like the show @ the start when sammy j and the rock go guns a blazing and super chargers a flying, but that didn't last long. will ferrells a hit and miss actor for me and this one's a total miss. marky mark and the funky bunch usually has some decent action stuffs going on, but this again wasn't one of them. some of the crappy dialog between will and eva was smirk worthy that didn't last all but a couple of secs. if u liked grown ups u'll prob love this crap too. desk pops, bipolar disorders and the better batman. 1.5/10
Alamo Drafthouse!
Last Game Completed: Aliens: Colonial Marines (PC) 10-13-13
Now Playing: Paper Mario 64

Persona non grata
I knew when they were promoting the fuck out of it on any show that would have them ( just like in Sandler's case with the equally unfunny Grown ups) that the movie was going to suck big time.
Doubly so when all their appearances and attempts at promotional funny didn't generate a single laugh even on shit like the Teen Choice Awards where the bar is set incredibly low to begin with.
Red Belt (2008) - David Mamet doing MMA I suppose isn't any weirder than David Mamet doing The Unit ( which I like(d) btw).
Sort of mixed feelings on this one. The good almost entirely being lead Chiwetel Ejiofor who is both utterly believable as the "gentle warrior" and incredibly likable in the part - since both are pretty important given the storyline.
Other than that the questions of morality brought up don't fit in well with what basically,like it or not , has to end up being a martial arts flick and the story sort of winds to a cresendo only to fall flat at the end.
So I guess for me the biggest problem is that the story of corruption and betrayal - staples of chop-suey as they are - just didn't work or maybe took way too long and consequentially didn't leave enough time for a proper the pay-off
