Isn't it? Troll Hunter was VERY fun! I know there were probably a bunch of jokes I didn't get, seeing as I'm not Norwegian. Still, I thought it was quite the little gem, and certainly deserves a LOT more attention.

Just finished watching The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo about an hour ago. A VERY good movie.

Damn do I ever love this movie.  Funny thing is that as big of fan as I was of the first one it took me forever to finally check out the sequel. Can now retire the horrendous dvd version.

^^ NICE! I have the first two "Maniac Cop" flicks on DVD ... still on the lookout for "3."

In my book "MC2" is superior to the original.

I bought Gangs of New York and Ali G Indahouse: The Movie on DVD tonight.

On DVD:

The Avengers
Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Excellent Christmas movie.

The first dvd I've purchased for myself in probably 5 years. Not sure why I've waited so long to add this classic to my Christmas collection. I'll be enjoying this tomorrow night with a few white russians and some gingerbread cookies.

Quite possibly the last time Chevy Chase put in a funny performance in a film.

If you're ever feeling particularly masochistic, watch Christmas Vacation 2. So bad (and I like stuff most people consider bad, so you know it's bad). Revolves around Randy Quaid's family. Also, the original Audrey is in it a little bit too.

My wife and I met the original Audrey at a horror convention. When I mentioned we had recently wacthed CV2, she apologized for it.

I would agree with you if Nothing But Trouble and, more importantly, Memoirs of an Invisible Man did not exist.[/quote]

Why would I torture myself this holiday season and watch a feature length film of Cousin Eddie?   

And yea, I'd probably agree that this was Chevy's swan song.

At the very least, "Christmas Vacation" was Chevy's last movie that made money...

and yeah, I think a feature length "Cousin Eddie" flick would get irritating reeeeealllly quick.

Unless they threw in some sand sharks or something, right?

Get with it, man. Sand Sharks are so 2011. This will be the year of the Avalanche Shark.

MC2 has become a desert island movie for me.  Top ten all-time for sure.  I love everything about it.  And in a just world Lustig should have been able to parlay it into an A-List chance at directing.  The whole sequence from the cab ride to being hand-cuffed outside the moving car is easily my favorite action scene ever.  I've finally decided to take the plunge/chance on Part 3 despite the hate it seems to get.

I thought Chevy Chase was funny in Snow Day.... but yeah, he is at best supporting actor material at this point.

Another all-time favorite of mine

From Hastings using my loyalty points.  The Swamp Thing blu was from Goodwill for three bucks.  I used to love the movie as a kid but haven't seen it in near thirty years.  Not expecting it to hold up at all.

I've always wanted to see Psycho II. I've heard nothing but great things about it. I loved Swamp Thing from my younger days too.
