    touche. i had to look up opinions online. i think that is somewhat the point of the movie, to make you think you're kind of crazy. Did he? well, he might have? but wait, he said he didnt? but did he? or are they lieing? or is he crazy? am i crazy? what the hell is happening to me?!?!

I'd be surprised if any studio greenlit a sequel to that pile of horse crap. But... considering hollywood... I'm sure one is already in the works.

    Just checked... yep. Slated for release in 2012.
    I tried watching that on EPIX On Demand or maybe Starz On Demand. I got about 20 minutes into it and gave up. That was unwatchable.

    I read "Shutter Island" the book about a year before the movie came out. The movie looked good, but I just know I would not have enjoyed it because I knew how it turned out. I'm waiting for it to come to the premium channels so I can watch it.

    In all honesty, if you take all the hype and teenage girls from Twilight it isn't all that bad. I have only seen the first but it wasn't terrible.

    I agree. Twilight was actually pretty good, would have better if I could have got someone to go with me though.

    I'm not one to watch a movie and think it has redeeming qualities just because there is a physically attractive woman in it, who is clothed (tight leather or ANY clothing) throughout. If that trips your trigger and deems it watchable, try googling her name and clicking on the "Images" tab. Sorry, but I can't waste 2 hours watching a TERRIBLE movie just because it has a hot chick in it. Just me.

    I agree with Youth in Revolt. It's was worth while film. It just seems like these teen / twenty something comedies have gone down hill when compared to movies like road trip and the American Pie films. I wanted to see the Beth Cooper movie because of Hayden P. because she was good in Heroes, but she was given nothing to work with in this film. She's out of my league came out recently. Is it worth watching?

    I thought Out of My League was suprisingly good.

    I had low to no expectations. And was pleasantly surprised. I'd give it a B.

    Miss March - I'm ashamed to admit I watched it til the end. Great premise - horrid, horrid execution. Those two should never be allowed to make a movie again. Train wreck - couldn't turn away.
    Exactly. Couldn't of said it better myself.

    She's out of my league is a pretty good movie. I wasnt thinking itd be one of the funniest movies ever, but its definitely worthwhile watch.
