Seen any great movies lately?
Ok here are two:
1- Ratatouille. Great, great movie. Went there with all the kids except #4 (who is 9 mo) and we all loved it. It is a glamorous picture of Paris and cooking which is all alright by me. GO SEE IT.
2- Shooter. Best movie in 10 years. Yeah it is that good. A classic. GO BUY IT.
Please leave some DVD recommendation in the comments if you would. Remember I have a lot of time :)

Try Layer Cake (if you like Brit films like Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels)
Really liked Inside Man although Denzel gets a little annoying
Also liked Junebug, although I only watched the first hour on a plane -- keep meaning to get the dvd.
yeah amazing that marky mark is such an accomplished artist.
Someone pointed out he was one of the good cops in "Departed", I had forgotten. Someone mentioned that because of his role on the departed he got little exposure for Shooter which is really too bad.
He is also a producer on "Entourage", the TV series on HBO which Nathalie and I have gotten to really like.
I will definitely try the movies you recommend. Thanks
I think you are a funny guy. Chuckle, chuckle.
If you want a trip down memory lane, one of my VCs (won't tell you which one :) introduced me to the "OFarrel theatre" in SF where you have this room with the holmes movies playing non-stop. Old days style... Too funny, talking shop, industry and java VM while watching an oldie in a public place was one of those memories.
Personally I prefer the modern version with Rocco directed by Staggliano. There are some good gonzo classics :) I really like the whole stable of director with the "Evil Empire".
yeah agreed, Shrek 3 was not so good, it was ok, but nothing special.
Zodiac, since you have time...
Also enjoyed The Last King of Scotland.
So far 2007 has been a pretty crappy movie year though.
Seriously, I've never heard somebody laugh so much. That was as much fun as the movie itself.
I loved it too, BTW. Definitely a must-see.
Saw Ocean's 13 last night. After mixed reviews, I wasn't expecting much. But turns out I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And yea, Ratatouille is great. My wife and I liked it much more than my 7-year-old. It's really a bit long for kids.

You can also purchase the amazing soundtracks for each.

Entrouage is definetly getting better but can't beat the Sopranos.
Will try the Ratatouille, since so many guys have liked it.

++ Last King of Scotland was good.
If you can find episodes of "The Prisoner" -- though you may need to be off your ADD meds or on LSD to really "get it"
If you didn't get to watch "Master of the Flying Guillotines" at JBossWorld a few years back when I showed it on the projector maybe you'll appreciate it more now.
Also Million Dollar Baby was good...but maybe not your style...
++Knocked Up
The Hills Have Eyes (haven't see 2 yet)

It is endorsed by the USCCB as "Morally Offensive"...all the more reason I liked it.
yeah loved 28 days later. I am glad to hear the week version is just as good.
I do not see what is morally objectable to a science fiction scenario of what-if mankind was virally infected over-night.
