Pitt's accent could get a little annoying. Is that Ryan from the office in a gory QT movie?

The shark jumps in the air to snatch a plane.......that alone, puts this movie on the must-see list.

I'm not a Brad Pitt fan but that looks like it might be worth it.

I think they used every current video/graphics fad on that trailer.

just from 94-2000 he had


Interview with the Vampire
Legends of the Fall
Se7en
Twelve Monkeys
The Devil's Own
Meet Joe Black
Fight Club
Snatch

That was a quality half of a decade.

I don't think Twelve Monkeys was very successful, but you could add Ocean's 11, and I really like The Mexican.

Edit: Oh, you said through 2000, whoops.

12 Monkeys grossed $168 million so it was a sizable hit. Pitt did win a Golden Globe for this but lost the Oscar to Kevin Spacey for The Usual Suspects.

ok, is it just me or does The Hangover look like the funniest movie in the history of cinema? The first preview I saw I thought it was going to be good because it's got Andy Bernard, but everything I've seen since then just keeps getting funnier. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's not just showing all of the funny stuff to us now like a lot of comedies do these days. And that there aren't too many inevitable bachelor party stripper scenes.

I would agree on most of that but would switch your ratings for Legends and Fight Club.

I just read a review yesterday that said the beginning is very good, but the rest is just incoherent, psychological, throw in a bunch of chopped-up action scene, garbage. That's sad. http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmno ... salvation/

my old roommates said they saw it, and it sucked. they said it seemed like too much, the plot was all over the place. weird, becaue the trailer makes it look really good.

Movie review for "Up":
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmno ... review-up/
It doesn’t happen often enough, certainly not as much as it once did, but every now and again, up on the magic screen that expresses the best and worst of Hollywood, something special happens - a moment of perfection that allows you to ease back and relax in the knowledge that you’re in the very best of storytelling hands. Pixar’s tenth and best film, “Up,”....
“Up” is what people mean when they say, “You know, they just don’t make ‘em like they used to.” That lament isn’t about a particular genre or even nostalgia for a simpler time. It’s about when a visit to the local theatre came with the promise of a sense of wonder and satisfying emotional journey; about being transported to exotic places with characters you feel something for, be it love or hate; about not having the spell broken by ham-handed filmmakers adding things that don’t belong.

Pixar’s finest is perfect for the whole family and deserves to finally transcend the animated category and compete for a Best Picture Oscar.
He also says that Ed Asner gives the best voice performance he's ever seen. I've been wanting to see this, and my kids have definitely been asking about it since they saw the first preview of it, but this makes me a little more excited. Pixar's best ever, that's a pretty high bar to exceed.

In these days of crappy movies just trying to make a few dollars, Pixar is 10 for 10. It's really not fair how they're dominating everybody. Buying them was the smartest thing Disney had done in a very long time. Does Disney even cartoons for theaters anymore? But really, I don't understand how Pixar just can't miss.

A couple of my buddies had preview tickets for the Hangover and said it was legendary.

I saw Terminator Salvation. It was just eh.
