    I streamed Limitless last night. It held my interest all the way through. Most recent release date Netflix streaming movies are dogs.

    Hugo was really good for a PG kid movie.

    Watched "I melt with you" last night. Really sort of pointless...set to music the entire time which was sort of distracting and made it tough to hear the dialogue. Good cast but a general waste of time and sad.

    I tried watching my Netflix copy of The Tree of Life on the airplane tonight. I ejected it after about 30 minutes and watched the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez Grind House movies instead.

    The Tree of Life was missing the critical elements of a good movie.... chicks in leather with swords or guns & ammo. I'm way too superficial to watch something like that.

    The Next Three Days

    Despite strong performances by Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson & Brian Dennehy, and some detailed instructions re: how to escape from prison, I couldn't suspend my disbelief to overcome a seriously implausible story line.

    Agreed- got about 30 minutes into it and realized I just wasn't going to buy it. I wanted to, really I did.

    Does this movie not have a title? Because if they didn't even name it that's just super annoying.

    Watched a good western from 1939 last night called "Destry Rides Again". I like Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich, and they didn't disappoint in this one.

    Interesting combo with Stewart's boy scout persona and Dietrich's sultry bad girl style. Nice blend of comedy, bar fights, and a good plot.

    Um yes..."The Next Three Days" (see post #544).

    On Geoff's recommendation I watched "Winnebago Man," a darkly funny documentary featuring "the angriest RV salesman on Youtube." Instead of devolving into a mockumentary, it allowed Jack Rebney to emerge with his dignity. Do yourself a kindness and check it out.
    Here's some original footage on which it's based (NSFW language): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ds7OfXXi-c

    Meanwhile, I noticed this trailer on the right side of the screen-



    I knew they were leaving all the cool stuff out of the history books.

    Most people don't read post titles. Took me a second look before I saw it myself.

    In Time was watchable. I was really bummed that they killed off Olivia Wilde early in the movie. The bad guys and evil rich vs downtrodden poor were a little too cliche/comic book-y. Nobody ages beyond age 25 so all the women in the movie were great eye candy. I was entertained.
