    It does look like a cute flick! Maybe I'll have to check it out, if I can find the time in the next few weeks!

    Jorge,

    That looks interesting. The last movie I watched in a theatre might have been Dodgeball! I still love that classic dialogue between Vince Vaughn (Pete LaFleur) and Ben Stiller (Whitey) where it ends up with LaFleur finally saying ‘alright’ and Whitey after a momentary pause says “touché!” All time classic!

    Was Philip Seymour Hoffman actually trying? I'm worried he phoned it in by playing Lester Bangs (though that performance kicked ass)

    Oh yeah! I really like that movie too! Though it was called The Boat that Rocked here in the UK!
    I enjoyed it but I don't think it was the movie that made me smile most- that was probably Up! :)

    To be honest I thought the plot was somewhat lacking, but I didn't care when I was watching it because it was such fun and the cast is all so good. Glad the US finally gets to see it!

    Funny, here in Iceland It's called The Boat That Rocked, never seen it though.

    But anyway i know this is probably the wrong place to do this but does anyone know how i could send Jorge a email with pictures, my mom and dad bought this autographed picture of him in a store called Heroes Memorabilia and i wanted to see if It's really his autograph :)

    You are so right. I saw this last weekend & as soon as I got home I posted on Facebook telling everyone they should go see it. Really liked it a lot.

    i cannot wait to see it, it's out already? Was Phillip Seymour Hoffman good in it? It's hard for me to imagine him in a comedic role...

    movies that make me smile is exactly what I need. I just watched "Humboldt County", which I thought would be awesome because I live there so I can relate, but it just made me sob for about an hour... so uh... mission failed.

    Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out. Also the Trailer Park Boys suggested by KoRoBaRo. The movie where I laughed a lot was Zombieland. You should check it out, especially since you are a big Zombiehunter yourself.

    Its called 'The Boat That Rocked' over here. It is based (very loosely) on Radio Caroline - the forerunner of BBC Radio 1...

    I sat there watching this film, knowing so much of it was PURE CHEESE. Yet, I didn't care. I was totally into it. That's good film-making! Something about it had the feel of one of those classic and lovable, character-based 1980's comedy movies, like Stripes or Weird Science.

    Couldn't agree more! I called it, "The Feel Good Movie of the Year" over at my site. You can read the review here: http://wp.me/pyaVJ-kZ

    I knew I had to see it when I saw the bands on the soundtrack. Love that music.

    Now come to my store and buy my products. Just Kidding, it's easy enough to ignore the spammers, most of the time.
