movies you watched today

[finn's mom]

Its a rainy day here in N.C.
My husband brought home Sin City, and The Longest yard.
Ill let you know what we think.

Yeah, please do, especially on Sin City. It's really different, so keep that in mind. I loved it, though! I like it when movies are filmed with the use of different mediums...like some animation, some live action, etc. I haven't seen the Longest Yard, yet, but, i have heard it's funny!

Serenity. I just got home a few minutes ago from watching it at the theater. If you are a fan of Star Wars, especially the first two (Episodes 4 & 5), you should check it out. It's good like they were...campy, great effects, awesome fight scenes, cool costumes...

And, the music was really good, but, not at all what I would have expected from a sci fi film. The music didn't fit, but, it was perfect, if that makes any sense. Anyway, it was a fun film!

Last night I watched a film called Powder, starring Sean Patrick Flanery as a young albino boy with unique powers. Jeff Goldblum has a small part in it too. I really liked the film, it made me cry in parts too which I don't do that often.

Cold Mountain is waiting in the wings for this weekend.

I loved Powder! Sean Patrick Flanery is so good in it! (On a side note, he's in one of my favorite movies called The Boondock Saints!) Powder made me cry, too. I didn't really like Cold Mountain, but, it's worth seeing!

Just finished watching THE CLEARING, was an ok movie, not the most exciting or anything, but I like Robert Redford, it was pretty predicatable and nothing to write home about, but still it was reasonable., Helen Mirren did a pretty good American accent I thought., for a Brit.

I have seen Cold Mountain, I think you will enjoy it.

Thanks for the tip, I've just found it and put it on my A list.

Watched Cold Mountain on Sunday and I have to say it left me cold, (okay, I can hear you all ).

Today they sent me Monty Python and the Holy Grail and also The Boondock Saints. Methinks I have some good watching ahead.

Yeah, I didn't like Cold Mountain. Have you ever seen the Holy Grail? That's one of my favorite comedies...another one that you should see if you like goofy stuff is Young Frankenstein...it's Mel Brooks, so, it's really silly. I hope you like the Boondock Saints, it is pretty intense, with some really bloody scenes. I think it's awesome, though...the way it's filmed and the score behind it. Wow. And, two hot Irish boys, that's all I really need, anyway. My favorite scene (the music is really cool!) is with the toilet. Ha ha. I hope you like it!

I watched Lost in Translation a couple nights ago, I love that film. Bill Murray is just the bomb. And, I watched Chicago last night, what a fun, colorful movie!

[dogzr#1]

I just watched Just Like Heaven starring Resse Witherspoon. I liked it a lot. Very good movie that has many laughs and is a tear jerker in some parts. Will watch it again.

[RobiLee]

I watched The Station Agent again the other night. Its the second time I've seen and its a really good movie.

Kari, I also like Lost In Translation. Good movie.

[Flatcoatluver]

[Chica]

All the movies sound great!There has been a lot of movies mentioned in this thread. This is page 54 of this thread. I guess you all love to go to the movies or rent them,,,So do I. I just finished watching The Interpreter with Nicole Kidman, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I cried in the second one. The friends were touching in the movie.

[binka_nugget]

I saw In Her Shoes last night. I really enjoyed it!

I can't say I disliked it, just that I found it kind of boring.

The Holy Grail is the one I have.
Not sure that I would like Young Frankenstein, I'm not keen on Mel Brooks.
I like the two Python films maybe because it is a sort of British (?) humour. I'm not a massive Python fan but I do love some or the sketches they did in the tv series, The Ministry of Silly Walks, The Dead Parrot, Micheal Palin's Lumberack song to name a few. I loved John Cleese's Fawlty Towers tv series too.
