I liked the Hangover but it could have been better if the story was told in real time and I thought the characters tried a bit too hard to be funny and overdid it. Certainly not as funny as Road Trip.

I liked the Departed but it was a total copycat of Goodfellas and didnt do that movie justice.

The Hangover was a lot better then Road Trip IMO. Blood Diamond was decent at best, Dicaprio carries it. Im the biggest Will Smith fan in the world, I still love to watch Fresh Prince, but Seven Pounds was HORRIBLE. American Gangster and Blow are both very good, The Departed IS GREAT. I like 300, I thought that was really good. No Country For Old Men is good, Dark Knight was amazing IMO.

300 was neat with the way they filmed it and it was great to see so many hardbodies with their shirts off.

I was pretty excited when I heard they were doing a movie about the Spartans and the defense of Thermopolye.

They ruined it as bad as you can possibly ruin something.

I realize the Spartans were enthusiastic poop chute stabbers ... but come the F on ... all that not so latent homosexuality was very uncalled for.

Even Spence has to agree that the movie was WAY too gay.

I am in no way implying it's a great movie, I just enjoyed the scenery.

You probably dont appreciate Goodfellas as much as you should if you think the Departed was "GREAT". It was a good movie, entertaining to watch but very unoriginal and predictable. Have you ever seen Goodfellas?

Seven Pounds is a love it or hate it movie. Not surprised you didnt like it. A lot of people dont.

I had a lot of expectations when I rented Hangover. From what I heard it was the funniest movie in a long time, and while I enjoyed it, I thought it could have been a lot better. The scenes with the asian guys werent funny at all and how do you not have the main character (the guy getting married) more a part of the movie? He had what, maybe 10 minutes of screen time? Road Trip killed this movie. Not even close.

I own Goodfellas and watch it all the time, I love the old school movies. I like Goodfellas and Casino the most.

Try Mean Streets as well.

Or if you want the best Scorsese/de niro movie, watch raging bull.

I can vouch for everyone of these except this one - I've tried in vain to get through it twice - no dice. And Phillip Seymore Hoffman is one of my all time favs...
