Say, anyone here seen All The President's Men? I've considered buying the special edition DVD. I remember watching it when I was in high school, but that was an eternity ago and God knows I probably doodled during the entire thing since history class wasn't exactly my forte.

I had to watch it back in college. It wasnt bad, but kind of long and drawn out. If you were big into Watergate then you would probably like it a lot. Hoffman and Redford are pretty good in it too.

i watched it less than a year ago, again. it is a very good movie. i would recommend it to anyone, purchasing it might be a different story though. not one that i would consider extremely rewatchable. but that's just me.

Just got done watching The Weatherman. It was suprisingly good. It's about a guy (Nicholas Cage) and he has this terrible life but they make it hilarious....you HAVE to see this one.
Some Quotes i found hilaroius:
"In this shit life, you have to chuck things" - Weatherman's dad
"They haven't been throwing things at me anymore....maybe it's because i carry around a bow" - Weatherman
I went and saw Dave Chappelle's Block Party on Friday.
Whenever Chappelle was on camera he was his usual hilarious self, but the split from music to Chappelle in this movie was about 70/30.
I love most of the musical performers (Mos Def, The Roots, Talib, Common, The Fugees, Dead Prez) and liked all the others (Kanye West, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott) so I enjoyed the musical portion of this movie.
If you don't like that type of music, don't go see it hoping for non-stop Chappelle jokes, you will be disappointed.
8/10

I watched "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" last night with the missus and while I know it's been mentioned before, I didn't want to scroll through all 85 pages looking for it.
Weak story line, virtually no-character development and seemed to race through the story. Only good thing about it was some of the action scenes.
6/10
EDIT: forgot the proper closing tag dang it!

and boobies.
I saw For A Few Dollars More this weekend. I'd say it's the least memorable of the 3 man with no name movies. I saw A Fistful of Dollars a couple of weeks ago. It was better than this one. But this was still a fantastic movie. The music is excellent and Eastwood, is well, Eastwood.
For a Few Dollars More = 8.7 A Fistful of Dollars = 8.9
