I've also preordered the first season of Homeland for $35 and that retail listing is $70. I feel obligated to pay for it since I missed it in theaters and may or may not have watched it through less-than-honorable means. (Using B&N gift card money, so it doesn't hurt too bad.)
      It did finally drop to 19.99, by the way.

        IP Man & IP Man 2.

        The first is absolutely wonderful - definitely worth a watch - the second one doesn't hold up as well as the first one, but if you really like the first one and would like to see more then its worth a check.

          Watched the first and it was pretty awesome. Haven't gotten to the 2nd one yet though.
          First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

            The Lorax.

            I never heard this story growing up, but I really liked the movie. Wife really liked it too.

                  Eh. It has some neat ideas, good effects, but I think I'm just past the point of movies like this scaring me. I'm still prone to jump-scares but that's about it. I thought the writing was a little weak, as was the plot.

                  Worth a look if you're at all into this genre, but lower your expectations.

                    Ong-Bak - not enough fight scenes to warrant the justification of watching this movie...after watching IP Man - this felt like childs play...with annoying characters

                      Some Patton Oswalt standup.

                      That guy is one of my all time favorites.

                          JCVD - Worth a watch if you were ever a fan of Van Damme - I really liked it

                            Worth a watch period. It's about as autobiographical as you'll get for a character like him, and when you give it a bit of thought Van Damme's life isn't all that much different than an NBA player, a handful of them anyway. Grow up dedicating their life to a sport they love just because they enjoy it, then the time comes that they're so good at it that they can make a substantial living doing it but the business that comes with that makes them grow to loathe it.

                            This really is something that interests me a lot. The Adonis athlete that's had life handed to him but grows to resent it. It's not that they don't work their asses off, the vast majority clearly do, but when you reach your peak before you even hit 30, then what? I can sit on the couch and say yeah it'd be nice to have a zillion dollars before I even hit 40, but all the goals you've been working towards are over. And you've got plenty of time left to go.

                            Sure, a lot of guys would just spend their money on women and cars and whatever, but I don't know, the post-retirement life of a world class athlete has to feel so empty. That viewpoint's a major reason why The Wrestler was so great for me.

                              Very true. Really enjoyed the movie.

                                If I didn't know better, I'd swear this was directed by Uwe Boll. Nauseating camera sequences, rampant overacting, and lots of needless filler make this one of Marvel's worst films to date.
