Don't waste my time suggesting crap like "XXX", "Constantine", fighting movies (there seems to be two or three out there) or anything starring Ashton Kutcher. Thanks!

Watch Kingdom of Heaven.

That way you can figure out whether to criticise it for being unfair to christians or say it was a fair portrayal of blahblahblah

Anything that gets people talking is worth seeing, purely so you can talk about it to

I'm not really into violence - I only listed it 'cause it is Ridley Scott whom, despite Gladiator, I like as a director.

Is Kung Fu Hustle still playing nearby? I just saw that and I thought it was awesome. Very funny.

What's the thumbs-up for, Ect?

Mindhunters has a great premise - however, the trailer makes it seem as if it is just another action flick.

Kung Fu Hustle is nearby. And it's billed as a comedy too, which is more my style.

I saw that in the listings, and checking it out on IMDB it looks

a. Like there's a lot of fighting.
b. That it's depressing and/or "deep". I did that earlier this week when I saw Crash and Cinderella Man (at least the first half-hour of CM.)

Beauty Shop or Kingdom of Heaven, from your list. BS doesn't really look that good to me, but everything else looks like crap.

Kung-Fu Hustle, definitely. If you haven't seen Shaiyun (sp?) Soccer, should rent that, too. It's a hoot.

Constantine's still playing?

I quite enjoyed it, I was expecting crap but was very pleasantly surprised (especially the scene near the end with Lucifer).

Shaolin Soccer.

Well, first of all, depends. It has fighting in it. It's definitely a fun flick, very good, very funny, and has some beatiful cinematography at times.

However, if JohnT absolutely hates Kung Fu flicks, I don't think he'll be able to enjoy the fun movie either so well.

But.. if he is able to enjoy that kind of a film, it's a hit. LIke I said before, for me this movie is the best this year.

I don't prefer straight-up action films.

I do like comedy, of all types, regardless of the setting.

I'm not a kung fu fan at all, and I really enjoyed the movies. It's not about the kung fu, it's about being funny.

Find out the play times for all those flicks. Go to the one that plays first. If you like it, stay with it. If not, change theaters within the multiplex when the next one starts. Repeat. If the theater guy catches you, just act gay and hit on him until he goes away.

Not my style. And anyway, those listed in the OP are at three different theaters (to tell you how awesome our home location is, we are within walking distance ( ) of 3 theaters with 31 movie screens including an art-house theater that has 7 screens.)
