Last movie I watched was this afternoon Duck Soup I can't help it I love old movies. Anyways this was pretty funny in some areas, especially the whole peanut vendor schtick.

in the past week or so:

Bride Wars: Aight, but ah, not really my thing.

Rachel Getting Married: A little better

Quantum of Solace: I enjoyed it, but not as much as Casino Royale

Revolutionary Road: Really enjoyed this

Mirrors: Just finished this this evening, really forgettable flick.

The Pink Panther 2. I don't know what to say, it was entertaining to say the least. Not exactly sure how to rate it compared to the first. However this one had a big cast of stars, and Andy Garcia equals win in lots of cases; however it was strange to see him play an Italian millionaire.

Wasn't was funny as the first, but it still got a laugh out of me, Steve Martin and his french accent is so bad its good.

7.2/10

Thanks for that review as i've been meaning to see it.

Last movie I watched was The Toy. It's the closest thing to a family movie that Pryor ever did but it comes off quite well as he's damn funny in just about every scene he's in.

There is some controversy about the racism aspect of the movie as some claim it's racist due to the storyline of a rich white kid buying a black man to essentially be his "toy". I think this aspect is way overblown as the movie actually does kinda teach a lesson about friendship and how it doesn't matter where you come from you always need a friend to lean on. The movie would've been a great vehicle for a young Jerry Lewis but he was too old in '82 for a movie like this.

It's a bit of a hidden gem but has received some airtime on AMC lately.

I watched The Devil and Daniel Webster on TCM this past weekend. I usually can't get into those older movies, but this was pretty good and pretty creepy in parts.
