Mind-blowing. Can't believe I'd never heard of this one before - easily one of the smartest, craziest movies I've seen in a long time.
What if it was possible for one man to survive 14,000 years? This is the question at play here, when a group of professors discover that a departing colleague may actually be a survivor from the dawn of humanity.
Not a film for everyone...there is little plot, no action, everything takes place essentially in a single room. I'll admit the cast isn't perfect either, but the script and the ideas that it presents were more than enough to keep me watching.
Huge mind-fuck of a movie...highly recommended.

Oooooooooo - Sounds good AND is available on Netflix Instant. Adding now. Our movie tastes generally coincide.

Cop Out (2010)
Not bad. Certainly not as God-awful as it looked in its trailers...
Cop Out is definitely entertaining. Tracy Morgan is his usual crazy Tracy Morgan self and Bruce Willis is a fantastic foil. Also, I love Sean Williams Scott. I truly do. I find him utterly hilarious and the three of them together was great...
But...
I feel with the star power (plus Kevin Smith at the pen), I think that it could have been funnier... Or feel more whole... Or... Something. I dunno - Something was missing.
Regardless, I laughed out loud a few times, which is sometimes the most you can ask for in a comedy.
It's not perfect, but definitely entertaining if you're looking for a fun, dumb watch.
2.75/5.

The Other Guys (2010)
What a blast. Will Ferrell is absolutely hilarious as the stiff partner to the unhinged Mark Walberg (who, for the record, I really wish would do more comedy - I think that he has AMAZING comic timing).
Great mindless action/cop/buddy flick with solid supporting actors to accompany our talented and hilarious duo (Michael Keaton was great and Samuel L. and The Rock were superb).
Well-written and hilarious. Recommended if you're looking for a good comedy to see in the theater (which I was).
3.75/5.
