Before Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight are my favorites. Lost count of how many times I've seen them. Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly too.

Yep, same here. Love School of Rock and Dazed and Confused too.

The Grandmaster Saw this earlier in the year, but it's available on iTunes now and will watch it again tonight. This movie defies categorization. It looks like an action movie, but it's more an

Men In Black gets a birdie because it's so re-watchable.  Every time it's on AMC (or Bravo, or USA, or whatever) and there is nothing else good on, it is a perfect stop for the remote. How does Vincent D'Onofrio not get an Oscar nomination for that performance?? (Not kidding BTW) ;-)

I'm the same way, but with I Robot. I watched Sabotage with Arnold the other day. I give it a par, but I can easily see it being nearly a lipped out putt for bogey. Great, although somewhat underdeveloped supporting cast. I kind of fell out with Arnold flicks in the mid to late nineties. This one was the first I've been able to watch from start to finish in quite some time.

Snowpiercer - birdie. Captain America, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Ed Harris, the couple from The Host (Korea), Alison Pill, Octavia Spencer. Knocks you on the head with the symbolism, but very entertaining. [video]http://youtu.be/nX5PwfEMBM0[/video]

I think I'm going to see the ape movie tomorrow night, so I decided to rewatch Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Solid birdie. My wife even thought it was really good, and she usually only likes romcoms and musicals. And I tried to make it through the remake of Oldboy the other day. I just couldn't finish it.

Yeah, that was sick. I think I've watched more than a few Korean movies with upsetting ideas (Oldboy for example), that this doesn't gross me out that badly.

He just did one where he was an ex-LA homicide detective-turned small town cop on the AZ border that I thought was a surprising birdie. Forgot the name. Just saw Sabotage last night. I didn't like how they revealed who the killer was too early in the movie, and that woman on the team was too over-the-top psychopath. Par here too.

BTW, you're right about Ahnold flicks, but from Conan to about True Lies was a damn good ride!

I remember my parents having a grey market satellite with free payperview. I must have watched Total Recall and The Running Man dozens of times. I went to see Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes the other night. It's easily a birdie. I'd like to rate it an eagle, as the apes were absolutely gloriously presented, and extremely well acted, but my only gripe was that the movie seemed a bit repetitive at times. Talk, then battle scene, talk,then another battle. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent movie. But as much as I liked it, I felt it suffered because I didn't give two squirts about the humans. That's probably my problem more than anything. Next up, Guardians Of The Galaxy in a week and change. Color me excited.

I dunno why the reviews were so bad. I almost didn't watch it because of that, but I'm a sucker for all stories related to time travel, so I watched it anyway. I guess because there were too many plot holes? I thought the touching moments created because of the plot holes were worth the movie having been a tad incongruent.

Richard Curtis is pretty good at lifting one's spirits :-) If I wasted my time quibbling over plot holes, I would've missed a good message and a pretty darn enjoyable story.

My wife dragged me to "Lucy" with Scarlett Johannson this weekend. Decent, head-trippy sci-fi. A par? Watching Scarlett Johannson kick people's ass just by staring at them was easy on the eyes, though.

Caught a few late night movies last night. The Kingdom-Par. I thought it was a bit sleepy and slow, solid ending though End of Watch-Birdie. Really enjoyable cop movie Shutter Island-Birdie. Not Scorsese's best, but enjoyable story and good ending(?) Juice-Birdie. Pretty good crime/hood movie. Tupac was a pretty decent actor

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
