8MM - Used to like Nic Cage. Less and less the more I see. This one was pretty bad. Couldn't decide if it wanted to shock you or scare you. In the end it did neither.

Finally watched Bladerunner. Could have found better use for those two hours. Been on my list for some time. Didn't really get it, however.

Which version did you see (Director's cut or Original with Harrison Ford narrating?)

If you have not read the books at all or recently the narrated version is easier to follow. P.K. Dick had a great concept in his short story...

Ted I was ready for...it was exactly what I thought it would be and nothing more.
I find Seth McFarlane to be very talented, but not always to my taste, so I thought the film
would be about the same. I was right again.

I'm sort of with you on Talladega Nights. I think it seems funnier when quoting the lines among friends than it actually is on screen.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I watched this with my 16 year old son. Even though it is almost 40 years old, the humor still held up. My son was laughing hysterically, as was I, for about the 300th time at some of the bits.

Watched the Director's cut. I was with it for the first half....but it never really materialized for me. Off the top of my head, a few things that left it wanting:
-No chemistry between the leads...same problem I had with Maltese Falcon the other night -- the story NEEDS you to buy into the relationship between Ford and Young...I never got there; and maybe partly because of
-Ford played the entire movie as if he was on edge of a coma --probably intentional so that you'd question if he's human; but I just couldn't sympathize with him, or fear for him, or relate at all
-The drawn out fight/flight scenes in last 20-30 min were long, boring, overwrought and totally killed any momentum.
-All the characters that could have brought some entertainment value or interest were given short shrift: Tyrell, the Olmos guy, the designer dude, even Pris ; make Batty either more human or more 'artificial', but straddling both, as was obviously the intent, didn't work for me at all

A very good movie.

Men in Black 3

Jack Reacher

I saw it with my wife and son and we all liked it (I was the only one that had read the book). The movie does not really follow the book -- the basic plot and some other touch points, but it is good none-the-less. It's not going to be critically acclaimed but it filled the bill for me. Tom Cruise does a credible job in the role.
