You should really cheek out Dancer in the Dark. It is surprisingly good but damn sad.

Scott Pilgrim was amazing.
It deserves the 9/10 you gave it.

Blast, one of the greatest movies i've ever seen. How about a film by the name of SLC Punk (1998). Gotta love a movie with Matthew Lillard.

No I decided to skip the Expendables, I refused to watch it when they put in Arnold into every trailer...when it was oh so obvious that he is in the film for like 5 minutes.
Also
Apparently you missed Grindhouse when it was in theaters, cus this is what I saw:
Minor language warning and the trailer is actually cut a little, though I pretty sure you can guess where.

Then I saw the Cinco de Mayo trailer which came out this year...Language Warning still applies:

...and suddenly I'm very excited about this movie. Though I do have to quest the wisdom of casting Lindsay Lohan.

Title: Hopscotch
Year: 1980
Country of Origin: US
Director: Ronald Neame
Story: A CIA spy is drummed out of the agency after doing what is debatably the right thing. He seeks revenge by writing a tell all memoir that could result in a black eye to the worlds intelligence community.
Review: The film is somewhat based on Philip Agee, a CIA operative who wrote a tell all novel in 1975 which blasted the CIA and their practices. Unlike the the very serious Agee situation, Hopscotch is a comedic tale. It paints Walter Matthau as a witty and wise ex-spy who runs circles around the KGB, FBI, and CIA just for fun. It's actually one of the better CIA based films that I have seen, the film is populated with very likable characters and a very entertaining story to go with them. Frankly I'm kind of sad that it's been somewhat forgotten over the year. Despite it's over-baked conclusion, I think it's one of the most under appreciated comedies out there.

Title: 3 Ninjas
Year: 1992
Country of Origin: US
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Story: Three young kinds, with minimal fighting capabilities, single handedly manage to rip-off Home Alone.
Review: Anyone notice the name of the director? Remember him from somewhere? How about here? How about here, or here, or this under appreciated thing? Yeah, the man has come a long way from 3 Ninjas. Though who can fault him for taking on a movie like this, I mean your a first director and you get to work with that old Asian guy from Tremors. Seems like a pretty good job.
I can't actually review this movie. The last time I actually remember talking about this film was when I was six or seven. For those keeping count, that's fifteen of sixteen years ago. I imagine if I saw it today, it would probably get a pretty low score. So I'm just going to let nostalgia kick in and refuse to score the movie.

Title: Eraser
Year: 1996
Country of Origin: US
Director: Chuck Russell
Story: US Marshals, Top Secret Weapons, and Alligators.
Story: After True Lies, Schwarzenegger's films became either incredibly stupid or incredibly ridicules...some times both. Eraser fall on the ridicules side. Trying to take stock of all of the plot elements of this film is a crazy task. We have witness protection, the US Marshal service, crazy guns that can shoot through wall, the Mob, betrayals, Air to Air combat with Arnold in a parachute shooting at a plane, a fire fight at a zoo, needless twist ending...etc...etc. I have to say though, it's a really fun movie to watch. I mean if you like over the top action you can do a lot worse than Eraser.

Title: Zoolander
Year: 2001
Country of Origin: US
Director: Ben Stiller
Story: A film about professional good looking people.
Review: I'm going to get some hate for this, but I think Zoolander is incredibly overrated. Yeah, I know it's your favorite comedy and it's a massive cult classic, but just never found it all that funny. Nuff said.

Heck yeah it's David Bowie in Venture Bros.
Title: Stuart Little
Year: 1999
Country of Origin: US
Director: Rob Minkoff
Story: M. Night Shyamalan...What hast thou wrought?
Review: Yeah, that's right M. Night Shyamalan was co-writer on this sucker. Not that this actually means anything, but it seems like an interesting enough fun fact. This film hit pretty late in my childhood and as such it doesn't hold a special place in my heart. I never bought the plot of this film, it was just to stupid to me as a kid. The film pulled in 300 million at the box office...so I guess there are those out there who liked this one. Question though...what the hell is with the cast? Other than Jonathan Lipnicki, it's amazing.
