Okay, so I know this is probably a little late, but I still gotta get the word out there so as to prevent further casualties:

DON'T.

God, what the hell were they thinking?

Can anyone fill me in on what this movie was about?

Babel is terrible movie not sure what its about either. On the other hand I thought No Country for Old Men was pretty good.

Babel I shall avoid. No Country for Old Men - I thought it started out pretty good but quickly lost steam and became boring.

It is funny these shows that win all the awards you end up expecting them to be great and they NEVER are. Makes you wonder who is handing out the awards and for what.

You mean nobody here, gets the delicate interplay between three sets of seemingly unrelated people, in three separate countries, all linked together by the single act of one man giving a gift to another man and the series of events that results?

Well me neither!

... anyone see Prom Night?

"4 interlocking stories all connected by a single gun all converge at the end and reveal a complex and tragic story of the lives of humanity around the world and how we truly aren't all that different." ~imdb.com

I REALLY liked it. It was a different sort of movie, but I felt it had a lot to say.

I extend my personal apologies to Drew for the false information contained within my original post and will amend below...

I agree - totally sucked. I could barely stay awake for it. I have not seen Prom Night yet but the critics all say it is awful so chances are it will be good. Have you seen it and is it any good?

One movie I saw lately that was really cute was The Waterhorse. Kind of geared towards a younger generation but still super cute. Great work with graphics for the waterhorse!

Old Men? Man, I almost died of OLD AGE during that movie. I liked the villain, but I didn't like the COMPLETELY random slaying of the protagonist that I was following for, oh I dunno, THREE QUARTERS OF THE MOVIE?

Well, I suggest a movie for you guys, then.

House of Wax. It has Paris Hilton, and the critics hated it. Might be right up your alley
