Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood is the best movie that I have seen in a long time. If you get the chance, I highly recommend you watch it. You’ll be better off for it.

Now get off my lawn.

Tracy and I went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, this afternoon. It was a really good movie with a unique plot. During the movie, I told Tracy that the movie felt a lot like Forrest Gump. It turns out that Eric Roth wrote the screenplay for both. The love interest feels a lot like “Jennaaaay,” and the narration in the movie goes along the same lines as Gump.

At any rate, it’s a breath of fresh air. Give yourself about three hours (yes, it’s long) and go see it.

I have been enjoying my new TV and digital cable…between AMC, Universal and TCM I have re-visited LOTS of great movies. With that, I give you: Gordon Gecko.

It’s been almost 10 years since Fight Club came out.  That makes me feel old. But it will always be in my Top 10 Favorite Movies. It’s great on so many levels.

For those of you you who didn’t know…Fight Club was first written as a book, by Chuck Palahniuk. The book is a lot grittier than the movie…just because some of the things he writes could not be said in the movie. Check out his other works like Choke, Diary and Lullabye.  He’s a great writer.  In the meantime, enjoy this Fight Club Trailer.  .:in.tyler.we.trust:.

I loved the movie Dirty Work (though less than I loved Chris Farley):

Best part of the movie:

Have you seen Super Troopers? No individual clip will do the movie justice…but I just wanted to post it cuz all of the quotes and stuff on Fuzz’s website needed some brightening up. NSFW. 

We went to see Cloverfield today.  WOW!  A great movie.  While some may feel hesitant to see the movie because it is shot in first person (a la The Blair Witch Project), but the camera view REALLY makes the movie.  It puts you in the moment. I have seen the trailer with the Statue of Liberty head flying down the street at least 50 times, but while I watched it in the theater, my body tensed up and it really freaked me out.   J.J. Abrams is a genius.  I’m looking forward to many more fantastic movies from him (including the new Star Trek movie, which was previewed before Cloverfield). Cloverfield: 5/5 Stars! 

It’s finally here…it’s going to be the best night ever.

Pretty good mock up… save for the piss poor voiceover.

Last night Tracy and I went to see Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe in American Gangster. Denzel plays a drug kingpin/mob boss and Russel Crowe is a do-gooder cop who has a passion for the truth. Each of the men have separate storylines that, obviously, converge towards the end of the three hour film. Tracy and I thought the movie was great, albeit very long.

There are a few scenes that I found pretty disturbing in the movie, but there was one in particular that was hard to watch. It is only really a cut scene segueing between one storyline and the next. In it, you see a baby crying on a bed next to his mother who is dead from a drug overdose. The 5-10 second clip is really only unsettling because how real it is. Unfortunately, isht like that actually happens in real life.

There is plenty of action that is matched with a good plot, and the movie is apparently based on the true story of Frank Lucas. While I hope that the real Frank Lucas didn’t make any money off of the film (though I’m sure he did), I highly recommend you block off three hours of your life and go see American Gangster!

Jay-Z saw an advance preview of the new Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe movie, American Gangster and was so inspired that he went to work on an album. Jay-Z’s American Gangster isn’t the official soundtrack, it’s an album inspired by the movie.

Can Jay-Z NOT make a great album? And in under 4 months?!?! This guy is wicked sick when it comes to putting records together. I had been a champion of Eminem as one of the best hip-hop artists alive, but after listening to American Gangster (as well as re-envigorating the Black Album, Kingdom Come and Blueprint), I have to hail Jay-Z as the greatest rapper alive.

Go out and get a copy of Jay-Z’s American Gangster. It is modern-day classic.

If you’ve see the original, you’ll understand.

Yeah… I probably won’t see this movie… Ever.

If you saw Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard), you know what a fire sale is, in terms of a cyber attack.

CNN.com features a video of an AC360 story about the possibility of such an event.  Saying that a prolonged power outtage to 1/3 of the US would be like having 50 hurricanes hit (based on the area affected, I would guess).

It’s great that everything has become so convenient and (inter)netted together that even destroying our infastructure is able to be done with the click of a mouse.

I have been a Netflix subscriber for almost 4 years now (that long? wow).  Occassionally they send me email promotions and coupon codes to share with people for 1 or 2 free weeks trials.  This one is much better, 1 Month of Netflix for Free!  So, I will share with all of you in FuzzMartin.com-land. Oh, I think this is only good for non-Netflix subscribers.
