I love the new planet of the apes re-boot. The past 2 movies have been great.

Good call on Let Me In. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be as good as the original but was pleasantly surprised. I still need to watch the original Departed, which I think was called Internal Affairs?

I liked the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps remake of the original Wall Street. I'm probably in the minority thinking it was better.

That was a good movie, but I always thought it was more of a direct sequel? I liked Charlie Sheen's cameo in it.

Now that I think about it you are correct. Nevermind me.

The Maltese Falcon (1941) > The Maltese Falcon (1931)...though Ricardo Cortez really isn't half bad as Sam Spade. Still not Bogart....

Met Sam Jones at the Alamo Drafthouse here a few years ago for a screening of Flash Gordon. I guess after Flash Gordon when all his roles dried up he started doing freelance security for famous/powerful people in places like South America and Mexico. Kinda cool!
