Movies!

I haven't talked about those in quite a while. (And I still want to make one post about TV Shows)

The Hangover II. Great stuff. Difficult to top the 1st. Difficult to even live to the expectation. Entertaining, and I think it was a successful sequence. This trio has actually a lot of potential, specially Zach Galiafanakis. A third movie more focused on him could be great as well.

Fun fact: did you know Liam Neeson was the initial tattoo artist in the shooting of this movie? Then some scene had to be cut and the tattoo parlor scene had to be re-shot, and Liam was busy shooting somewhere else. Full story

Grown Ups. This movie seemed really good on paper, a good enough plot, great actors... But it just turned out to be another Sandler'esque movie. The I've seen this over-and-over again typical Sandler movie. Some nice jokes. Nice comedy. Nothing above average though :(

By the way... The directing? Who the fuck directed this? It completely screws the timing of even the best jokes...

Godfather I, II, III. The Goodfellas. The Departed. All seen before, I saw them again because I believe they're great movies, with great actors, and I've been needing to get some inspiration for the plot of a novel. Scarface is next on the list.

The Untouchables. Wow! Very, very good. A true gem from 1987. I don't know how I'd never seen this before. Kevin Costner, Robert de Niro, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia representing the story of Al Capone and the Eliot Ness Treasury Department Squad that got Capone because he didn't file his taxes.

"They send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue. That is the Chicago way." Classic!

That's about it, I don't remember any more movies I've seen lately.
