    We have Open Range on DVD. I also have the box set of the Lonesome Dove movies.

    My wife and son laugh because I have the entire dialogue of Lonesome Dove memorized.

    Argo was really well done. I always make an effort to find flaws in movies that are supposed to be "sooooo good". Well I couldnt with Argo, all the characters were believable and it was really enjoyable.

    One thing I didnt like was how everything was waaaaaaay to close to call. Like every little checkpoint that the Americans cleared to get out of Iraq was just by the skin of their teeth. I get that it is supposed to be dramatic, but it was slightly over the top in some moments.

    I would recommend Argo to everyone.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Argo. I hate that Ben Afleck makes good movies. I want to hate him so much, but I just can't.

    Lonesome Dove is the greatest western ever made. But weve all agreed upon that here over the years.

    I know they aren't new movies, but Remember the Titans and and We Are Marshal are two of my all time favorites.

    The Red Dawn remake was too cheesy

    Argo and Lincoln were both GREAT movies.

    Asides from those, I haven't seen many recent movies.

    Want to watch Bourne Legacy when it comes out on disc soon and look forward to seeing the stupid humor of Ted again.

    Lawless was a great movie, until the ending. I hated the ending.

    I guess I can't say I didn't see that coming. Thanks for the heads up.

    Lawless was a great movie. Saw it in theater and then bought it.

    Tom hardy was awesome as Forrest and Shia didn't disappoint either. My girlfriend didn't believe me when I told her that Tom Hardy was also "Bane" in The Dark Knight Rises- which I also bought!

    Lawless was a darn good movie.


    I absolutely cannot wait for Django. Jamie Foxx and Leo under Tarantino control? I doubt it disappoints.

    Did anybody see Cloud Atlas?

    I'm wrapping up the book, but haven't searched the interwebs for any reviews. I'll see it regardless, but want to have some idea of what I'm walking in to quality wise.

    I just watched the warrior and i have to say it was a really good movie. I think it is one of my favorites now.
