Mal ,'The Train Job'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The Batman score isn't so whimsical.
Recent non-whimsical movies include The Next Three Days, The Wolfman, Terminator Salvation, Milk, and The Kingdom. Only one of which I have seen, but still.
Also Sleepy Hollow, come to think of it.
Well, yay then?
There's going to be another Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. It is called Chipwrecked. What is going on.
