And I never use the word "epic", kids. That's how you know I'm serious.

@Joel: BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

@Joel: I'd much rather be a zombie. Free food everywhere! SEND MORE PARAMEDICS!

If they gave me prizes to award my favorite comments, this one would win.

[quote][b]andyk[/b] - a creative, intense thriller that mixes Bourne Identity with Grimms Fairy Tales and Kick Ass...highly recommend! [/quote]

Couldn't have said it better!

[quote][b]davidxto[/b] - Pineapple soda? as in Jarritos Pina? I like the Fresa. Good taste in enamel acid can make up for other shortcomings. [/quote]

Indeed! Jarritos has been rotting away my choppers for some time now.

I did record a podcast this week! Until we get it going, you can download it here http://cid-f9a6fe7b8ffe036d.office.live.com/self.aspx/Cinema%20File%20Po...

@dirtydan: I think I counted a total of 27 remakes, sequels and adaptations of one kind or another for 2011. That's got to be an all-time record. And I'm definitely a Rockwell fan. "Choke" and "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" are a couple more favorites in addition to the ones you mentioned. Very underrated actor.

@askantik: No argument here. Netflix is pretty much a gift for movie fans - I cancelled cable TV after a month or two. Sitting through a bad movie is one thing. It's all the talking and texting going on during the film that really adds insult to injury as far as ticket prices go. I'm paying to be annoyed.

@catman: Thank you for posting this! I was happy just to get a photo with the story.

@DanMatthews: Dan, that sucks. Beechwood was renovated several years ago to bring it up to date with "stadium seating" and digital sound, but they didn't do such a good job with sound proofing. When I saw "The King's Speech" a couple weeks back, I could hear explosions from the movie showing in the screening room beside the one I was in. Definitely ruined some of the quieter scenes.

@nocount: I didn't get to see it in 3-D. Now I feel cheated! someone owes me a private screening and a pair of plastic shades.

@Bearhand: Yes! With Carmen Electra and Adam West. After it was over, I tore out my eyes and stomped on them. It was good times.

@Bearhand: Honestly, it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't know what that says about me, but there it is.

@Scoop156: Your comment was warm enough to melt the ice on my driveway. Much appreciated!

@Scoop156: That comment is even more special because it was my birthday yesterday

@Bearhand: You're welcome! Guess what? I'm actually wearing my Miskatonic University t-shirt today.

@demosthenes: I recommend fans of "Let The Right One In" steer clear of the U.S. remake. It was impossible for me to put the original out of my head and take "Let Me In" on its own merit because 90% of it was just a copy offering nothing new. The remaining 10% consisted of distracting computer-generated vampire attacks and botched attempts at putting a Hollywood spin on iconic scenes from the Swedish version. They definitely drained the life blood out of it.
