Fall '07 Movie Thread

[El Diablo]

OK, last two movies I saw:

The King of Kong - awesome documentary. Extensive thread on it in OOT. Does a great job creating a compelling story around video game players. Pretty clearly slanted to make the story better, but whatever, it's a movie. Highly recommended, very entertaining.

3:10 to Yuma - very entertaining. Good acting by many, hilariously horrible acting by Luke Wilson. Overall, quite a good movie. Not great in the way Unforgiven is great, but just a solid Western. Definitely worth watching. Also has extensive discussion thread in OOT.

Saw some new previews:

National Treasure II - HAHHAHAHA

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem - Wow, I am such a sucker. I was pumped for AVP, but wow, that was pretty much the worst movie ever. At least I didn't see it in a theater. Anyway, saw this preview and somehow managed to get really pumped up, it looks awesome. I am sure it will suck hard, though.

Lions for Lambs - I have seen a bunch of previews for this and it has always looked super boring. Saw a different one that made it seem maybe OK.

In the Valley of Elah - this is already playing here. Looks pretty solid. Tommy Lee Jones movie, post-Iraq military murder mystery/coverup.

Eastern Promise - Also playing here already. I'm watching this next. David Cronenberg (Scanners, History of Violence) film, violent and gory movie revolving around Russian mob starring Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts. Looks awesome.
