i just re-watched memento. very cool movie.

am i the only one who thought training day was kind of cheesy. that ghetto? c'mon. that was just so ridiculously over the top. there is no place in the world that even approaches that. ruined it for me, i couldnt get past that.

No, it definitely had its flaws. But Denzel gives a great performance in it, and that makes up for a lot.

Are you kidding me? That was lazy formulaic Denzel. He's made numerous movies where he did a hell of a better job acting. If you want to see him portray a shady, troubled inner city guy watch "He Got Game" sometime. Or check out "The Hurricane." The acadamy's tendency to give out best actor/director awards based on lifetime merit instead of one particular movie is pretty goofy. Just give out more lifetime achievement awards if that's what you want to do, no need to rob the actual best movies of the year of their honors.

I didn't like Training Day at all, and I usually dig Denzel in whatever he's in. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Dark Blue is a similiar but superior movie.

i dont read threads that are long and full of opinions like movies, but i would throw super troopers into any mix since it's the best movie in history. retort.

rom coms (romantic comedies)

Instead of coming up with a gay name for them that you then have to explain in parentheses, why don't you just say "chick flicks"?

I totally missed this in the original post. Calling chick flicks "Rom Coms" is pretty much a sign you like big cacks up your butt.
