Street Fighter.  Some of the young whipersnappers are trying to get me to see this.  With that part Asian part Dutch chick who used to play the hot looking alien in that Area 51 type show.
Has Street Fighter got some plot to it or is it just a bunch of SFX crap for geeks?

Chinatown.  I know, old as the hills.  I've never seen it.  Saw the 1st 20 minutes the other day and it looks pretty interesting.  Wrinkleson gives an okay performance?

I cannot imagine street fighter being good, I guess if you have some time to waste you should go.  I will wait til it is on dvd.

Watchmen somes out this weekend doesn't it?  go watch that instead reality.

I saw Coroline and it was a terrific movie.  There was a preview for a movie called "9", I can't wait to see it, to coin a whippersnapper line: "looks totally awesome".

Talked to someone who saw it early and they said that it was poorly done.  Not a movie critic either just someone I know who happened to get to see it early.

Big thumbs up for Coraline.  I saw it in 3D and loved it.  It's based on book by Neil Gaiman, who's an excellent writer, and it was directed by a guy named Henry Selleck who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas.  First 3D movie I've seen so that really added a lot.

Slumdog Millionaire was amazing!  How often can you say the Acadamey got it exactly right.  That was the best movie of the year.

The movie I am and have been looking forward to with barely contained fanboy glee is "Watchmen".  Please o please be a well-done movie!  This project could complete the change in the comic-movie paradigm that "The Dark Knight" began.

9 seems interesting, supposedly 9 started as a short film on youtube or something like that.
