Rotten Tomatoes:

 

True Grit - 95%

Black Swan - 87%

 

I've only seen Black Swan and I thought it was a B+ which seems in line with Rotten Tomatoes.

Scott Pilgrim was a great movie. I don't know that I have ever seen anything quite like it.

To add onto what Sqwert already said, I'd see True Grit because it probably plays better in a theater.

Netflix is shipping that to me tomorrow. I'm excited to see it.

Obviously I saw it in the theaters, but I waited to watch Inception again until receiving the BluRay for Christmas... it might be even better the 2nd time you watch it since you can see the story pulling together while knowing the ending and how things play out.

 

What a fantastic movie.

Watching this tonight on blu ray. Have not seen it yet. Very excited.

You will love it. I do suggest not drinking and being distracted when watching the movie. That why you understand it and know exactly how and why certain things can and cannot be done. You'll notice, there is very little to no plotholes in the movie, the way Nolan setup the story.

 

And the soundtrack is amazing.

Very good movie. Maybe a little underwhelming only because it had achieved outrageous hype. I find this happens often to me, since I am not one to go to the theaters often, instead choosing to watch on my home theater (I mean, this is why I paid for all this s***, right?).

 

Loved the soundtrack, loved the ending, solid acting. I guess the concept wasn't as moving as I thought it might be though.

 

Very solid though.

 

Next on my list is The Town.

a.k.a. "Heat 2: Boston"

 

Note: I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

They're close. But I wouldn't run for stating that opinion. Both are excellent.

I haven't seen Heat in awhile but when I did, I was bored, like I am with most Michael Mann films.

Agreed entirely.

Wow, I really tried to like Scott Pilgrim but I just couldn't. It was like watching ADHD happen. And it just pissed me off. I liked the whole video game thing, but I couldn't handle everything just bouncing around. Just too much for me.

Thank you, I really don't know what the hype is all about.

True Grit was pretty awesome

Here's an interesting fact about the actress Thora Birch:

 

...the eldest child of Jack Birch and Carol Connors. Her parents, who were her business managers from the start, are former adult film actors and both appeared in the pornographic film Deep Throat.

I'm headed to see it tonight.

So my "to see" list right now is:

 

True Grit

The Fighter

Blue Valentine

The King's Speech

Not sure where to put this but I just watched the series Firefly and the following movie Serenity.

 

Im hooked and sad that I never saw it when it came out.

Wish Firefly was streaming online through Netflix. Would like to of see it.

 

Obviously one of those great shows that lasted only 1 season.

That's how I saw it, my brother brought his 360 down for the holidays and I watched it off of that, they have the first season and the movie online for streaming.

Scott Pilgrim flat out sucked, period. I don't get the hype. I guess if I was out of it I would like it. I wasn't and the movie was just not fun or engaging at all to me.

True Grit was so f***ing fantastic.
