Last watched 101 Dalmatians, the live-action one from the late 90s. Too lazy to find a picture right now.
Whoa, look at that cover. I cannot believe Jennifer Connelly looked like such an adult 20 years ago. She is aging well. or has a time machine.The Rocketeer
Was gonna watch that the other night, then chickened out--How scary is it? Like The Shining scary (well, freaky), or like legit horror movie scary with things jumping out at you? Lol, I can't watch over the top scary shit... :-/The Mechanic - 8 out of 10 - Pretty good movie also. Jason Statham fans will definitely enjoy it. Great ending too.
For reasons I'd feel too silly to explain, I did not get Monster moved up on the list, and instead found myself watching Tropic Thunder. Pleasant surprise for me.

Tropic Thunder (2008 )
Where to begin? For starters, I had forgot how many stars were in the flick. Booty Sweat and Bust-A-Nut? Lulz... Cameos by Matthew McConaughey and Nick Nolte were cool, but I loved Tom Cruise's character - such a balls out dickhead. Ok, it was weird watching the same young dork actor from Sorcerer's Apprentice...doing the same type of role - bad timing for me. Jack Black....meh. It was a bit too much Stiller, then again it was his movie...it was just weird because I kept seeing Zoolander and his other overblown characters in this flick.
The basic premise was cheese, going in you knew it - but so did they, so it was very good cheese.Ultimately, what I found myself loving most....aside from Alpa Chino (decent supporting role) ... was Robert Downey Jr. I had to keep telling myself who that was - he was so into the character. I read where he stayed in character even when the cameras stopped rolling, and even during the commentary (in line with what his character said during the film). Hell, I loved some of the dialogues he gets into - like the race talks with the black guy; like when the black guy is in his shit for being Aussie...and Downey still didn't break character...it was hilarious watching a 70's black guy hard ass getting upset and defending Aussie icons, but still unable to break back into being Aussie.
A very pleasant surprise...glad it showed up next on my list :D
