movies you watched today

[areias]

Man, I LOVE Bruce Willis... but I hate these Singers-gone-Actors. I may have to splurge some money *just* because Willis is in it.

I watched Dream Girls tonight, in between studying for exams. It was VERY well done.

Bruce Willis is in...maybe 4 scenes throughout the movie, he's doing an "interview" in the beginning and end, and then he shows up maybe 2-3 times throughout.

I know I already said it, but just be forewarned that the movies focus is around drugs and a lot of "adult" scenes ;).

[BC_MoM]

I watched Night At The Museum (Ben Stiller) today because I was home sick. It was VERY good! :D

[cloverfdx]

Last night Mum and i watched an Australian movie called The dead letter office, i had to study it when i was at school and had not seen it for a good few years.. it was nice to watch it again.

We also watched Beethoven lol cute old movie :).

[Kalei]

Me and Beki watched some Chobits last night, its an anime:D I think Chobits is so cute!

[carole]

I have just watched The world's fastest Indian, now even though this was filmed partly in NZ, produced by a NZ'er and written about a NZ'er , i really had no interest in the movie, my hubby had the DVD lean't to him and I decided to watch it, even though i really thought it was not my kinda of movie, how wrong could i be it was excellent.

Just worth a mention to anyone who want's to know how kiwi's talk,,myself included, you will also hear some of our sayings too, and if you get the DVD you will see some beautiful scenery of the south island of my country,also an interesting fact, the guy who plays frank and is on the stage with Anthony Hopkins at his party, is in fact the mayor of one of our cities Invercargill, bottom of the NZ, he is and always has been a rather eccentric character.

I was suprised at how much i enjoyed it, and Anthony did a pretty good job of our accent, although i have to say i did hear what i thought was a bit of British and Irish come through, and it was a little overdone, but not bad for a novice, lol.

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

I watched these movies in the last couple weeks...

The Clerks II - Funny, but not as much as I expected it to be.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - Awesome, I really enjoyed this one.
Bully - I loved this movie as well.
Wicker Park - It brought tears to my eyes lol!
Pulse - It was okay.
Cars - A GREAT movie! I really enjoyed it!

We purchase our movies with Shaw On Demand (with the remote). It is pretty cheap, and you get the movie for 24 hours. :)

[The Cat Factory]

Willard was on TV the other day, so I ended up watching it. I thought it was really good. I also watched High Tension, and Gladiator. I have seen both before, but I love them. :)

[carole]

Well just watched Brick last night, hmm what can I say, if anyone can enlighten me on this movie, i would be grateful, i know it was all to do with this girl dying and the drug scene, but even though i consider myself and hubby of reasonable intelligence i really got lost with this film.

[binka_nugget]

I recently saw "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Music and Lyrics".

Letters from Iwo Jima was really good! A little gross at times.. but still very well done!

Music and Lyrics was cute. I LOVE Hugh Grant. :D

[dogzr#1]

I watched Pan's Labyrinth last weekend. It was really good despite being in Spanish and all. They had subtitles, much like in Passion of the Christ, so it was easy to understand. A bit gory and had very foul language, but it had a wonderful storyline and was really fun to watch. I highly recommend it to those who like fantasy, or just like a good movie in general. However, not for those that are scared of bugs and don't like a bit of blood! :p

[carole]

I sure wish someone had reviewed The Libertine for me before i hired it out, it was disgusting, it really did put me off Johnny Depp now, and i love that guy, yes he still was a good actor in it, but i am suprised he did this awful kind of movie.. :( very very disappointing.

[areias]

Just saw The Departed with Leo and Damon and such. It was pretty good, the end was kind of whacked out though. I would recommend it. :)

[cloverfdx]

I bought and watched Silent Tongue a couple of days ago. I found it a bit weird, but it had River in it so it was bearable lol. Now i only have to find Love you to death and Jimmy Reardon and the collection is complete :o.

[carole]

I finally got to see Crash, this would have to be one of the best movies i have seen in a long time, awesome, i had heard such good things about it , and expected to be disappointed, but i was not.

Also saw friends with money, hmm cannot say i was overjoyed at this movie, it was ok, had some funny parts in it, it was average,could have ended better too.

[finn's mom]

That's an incredible movie. Disturbing, but very good.

I saw Babel last night. Another disturbing but wonderful movie. I thought the music in it was intense and haunting and perfect. I plan to buy the soundtrack, for sure. I did notice that one particular song was also on the soundtrack for The Insider with Russell Crowe, and it was one of my favorites on that soundtrack as well. I didn't watch the Oscars this year, but Babel won for best music. :) Now, I know why!

[finn's mom]

Monster House!

It was a lot of fun, and very beautifully animated! I thought the characters were lovable and fun. I really didn't know what to expect, but it was great!

[luvofallhorses]

I watched " The pursuit of happiness " with my parents last night. it was good! :) oh and on Saturday I saw
" The last Mimzy " at the movie theater with my best friend. It was okay.

[carole]

I just watched Grudge 2 and Borat on dvd last weekend, Grudge 2 was ok,not really scarey, i guess i jumped once maybe, and Borat, well what can i say, one scene in particular left me speechless, if you have seen it , you will know which one, lol,not sure what to say about Borat really, it was funny. :)

[sweetpatata6]

Yesterday my friend and I got boared and watched MeAn GiRLs

[elizabethann]

Was this the butt naked men scene? :D

[Alysser]

I just watched "Grease 2". I absolutely hated it, very stupid and IMO, it ruined the whole thing. :(

[binka_nugget]

I saw The Reaping last night. It was HORRIBLE! Soooo boring.

[carole]

Yes it was Borat wrestling with the fat man, naked, i must admit i was not expecting it, took me by suprise, we could not stop laughing all the same,it was an image that was hard to get out of one's mind lol.

[Sevaede]

I watched Click the other day. Very good movie, totally took me by surprise that way. :D

[binka_nugget]

I saw Blades of Glory last night. I LOVED it! I'll definitely have to see it again.

[Argranade]

I saw Blades of Glory last night. I LOVED it! I'll definitely have to see it again.
Haha!

Me and my friends were gona see that BUT then we saw WRESTLE MANIA 23!

Stupid Jhon Cena won --- Shawn Michels is so much better ... why did he not win?

Maybe he was jrunk LMAO! at least Mr.Kenedy WON!

Did anyone else see WM23? it was SO funny, the little midget guy got flipped over and slammed on the ground after he hit Mr.keneday in the face LMFAO!

I also watched Alpha Dog with my cousin like a month ago, it's such an awsome movie, I loved it.

[bexta11]

Save the Last Dance this is my fav movie!!!!!! and my suggies are in there sleeping pouch i just looked at them
*so cute*

[finn's mom]

Little Miss Sunshine. Absolutely wonderful. I laughed so hard I cried during some parts and just simply cried during other parts. Brilliantly acted, sarcastically written, and I loved the music and how it was filmed. Fantastic, I can't wait to watch it again! :D

[Alysser]

I saw "Are we done yet?" on friday evening with two of my friends. It's the sequel to "Are we there yet?". It was cute, and I enjoyed it but it's nothing to write home about. I wouldn't buy it, most likely I'd just rent it if you want to see it.

I just saw "rent" because my sister is obsessed and made me watch it. Let's just say it's was a complete waste of time/life. All they did was moan and complain through the whole movie. It was so boring too, not reccommended by me, that's for sure! :rolleyes:

[Roxyluvsme13]

Bri watched..

Don Juan Demarco
Domino
Ed Wood

:)

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Yes it was Borat wrestling with the fat man, naked, i must admit i was not expecting it, took me by suprise, we could not stop laughing all the same,it was an image that was hard to get out of one's mind lol.
It was during that scene that I left Justin to finish watching it by himself. He then fast forwarded past the rest of that scene and finished the movie. I was totally turned off by the whole movie. I knew I wasn't going to care for it, but I hated it more than I thought I would. For the most part Justin liked it though.

[carole]

Borat had it's moments ,some of which was funny, but it did not capture my attention that much, i was busy texting my son at the time, so i guess i was not that interested, it takes alot to keep me sitting down still and watching a movie though i can tell you,it was just such an unexpected scene,cannot say it did much for me, but you had to try and look at the funny side of it i guess.

[Argranade]

I just seen Desturbia 2 days ago and it was awsome,

I would recomend seeing this movie, it was awsome .. I had no idea what would happen next and that's what most people should love about movies that keep your geussing lol.

GO SEE IT! :D

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

Me and my mom watched The Pursuit of Happyness the other night. I enjoyed it, it was very touching. I also watched Saw III - not as good as the first, but still pretty good. Oh, and I watched The Grudge 2, I liked it. :D

[Danegirl2208]

In the past couple of months i've seen

The Pursuit of Happyness
Tourista
Happy Feet
The Number 23
Vacancy
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Blades of Glory

[Argranade]

Seen Vacancy like 2 days ago,

I don't like scary movies but I was tempted for this flick lol.

Awsome movie and well done. :)

[cloverfdx]

I just watched Major Payne, they had it on as a late night movie on TV :). I love that movie and think anything the Wayans are involved in is great (yes even Little Man LOL) :D.

[sammy101]

I saw Shrek the Third last night and i really liked it. :) It was really cute.

[dogzr#1]

Every weekend we've gone to go a see a new summer movie. I need to post on three movies I've seen.

I saw Spider-Man 3 and I loved it. I had heard that lots of people were disappointed but I absolutely loved it. I thought all the drama between Peter and MJ was well done, as well as all the new villian conflict. I gave it an 8 out of 10 stars.

Then the following week I went to go see 28 weeks later. I loooved it! I don't get grossed out by movies so I liked this one, but I'm not sure everyone will as it is gory. I loved how they made the 'safe city' type thing where the virus wasn't able to get to and everything, but still did. I also think there's going to be a 28 months later because of the ending. 7 out of 10 stars.

Yesterday I went to see Shrek the Third and really loved it. I didn't really want to see it because in the trailer it wasn't that funny for me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the jokes were for younger kids but they still got a few chuckles out of the adults. I went with my three older brothers and they were all laughing throughout the movie as well. I gave it a 9 out of 10 stars.

[Zippy]

Borat-It was really not that funny and I found it more stupid then funny
I Still know what you did last summer-Didn't like it.It really wasn't scary and I hated the ending

[Alysser]

I am about to go and see "Shrek the Third" with Jenna(I_luv_rusty) and my neighbor, Kathleen. I am not that excited since the reviews weren't that great but what do critics know? I will fill you in when I get back. ;)

[carole]

Going to see Blades of Glory this wednesday at our new cinema that has just opened, it is a free pre screening, so will let you know what the movie is like.

[Alysser]

I had a good time watching Shrek 3. It was very funny. We were all laughing through the entire movie. Cute family movie, and I enjoyed it. Nothing to write home about, but it was well done. Forgot to mention that THEY didn't ruin Shrek with any of the sequels. :)

OK now onto the important stuff. I AM GOING ON FRIDAY to see POTC 3, since I have school off and it starts at 3:15 here, so as of now I'm going with like 4 people. Maybe more!! I AM SO EXCITED!

[carole]

Enjoyed Blades of Glory, a light hearted comedy, bit over the top in places, but enjoyable entertainment, just what i needed right now, judging by the audience it was well liked, the new cinema was great too, much bigger seats and great sound,if you want a bit of a laugh go along and see it.

[Kalei]

Right now I am watching the first Spiderman:D

[lizbud]

Anybody seen previews of the new movie "Bug" ? It's not out till th 25th
but looks like it would scare the begeebers of of me. :eek: I might just have
to see this one. :D

[finn's mom]

I have just recently seen Love Actually and I am hooked. I have watched it three times so far since my first viewing of it about a month ago. It is one of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen. Just gets me all warm and fuzzy. It's cheesy in parts, but love is cheesy sometimes. :D I recommend it to anyone, it's got enough of humor in it even for the men.

There's a scene where a guy tells the girl to say he's singing Christmas carols, and I'm not kidding...that scene is brilliant and so touching and sweet. I couldn't believe it when I saw it!

[elizabethann]

I LOVE that movie! It breaks my heart everytime that older woman (I think it's Vanessa Redgrave) opens her Xmas present from her husband and she thinks it's a piece of jewlery (which he bought for his lover) but it ends up being a Joni Mitchell CD. And I just love the song they play when she is just aching and trying to stop crying. Ugh...I cry every time.

And when Hugh Grant goes to find Natalie and has to sing a Christmas carole for the little kids and the little kids are dancing? It's so funny.

And I love the part you're talking about. And in the end, that guy says "enough." Ugh...breaks my heart.

Now I want to watch it!

[cloverfdx]

Nope i have not heard of it, may have to check imdb. A movie i am looking forward to seeing this year is Black Sheep... it is along the lines of last years Snakes on a plane! LOL.

Kari i have not seen Love Actually, i must hire it one night and have a look.

ETA: I bought and watched Kill me later a couple of months back, i love that movie. I highly recommend it if you have not already seen it ;).

Don't give away too much of it! That's part of the greatness, all the little surprises, good and bad. But, yeah, those parts all get to me. Hugh Grant is a dream. And, the actress who loves Joni Mitchell is Emma Thompson.

[finn's mom]

Kari i have not seen Love Actually, i must hire it one night and have a look.


Yes, yes, yes! And, then rush back and tell me what you think. :D

[carole]

Kari Love actually is one of my favourite movies too, i first saw it at the cinema, when it first came out , then on the telly not so long ago, its so cool, of course i am such a colin firth and hugh grant fan, that anything they are in i am hooked.refresh my memory was colin in this one, cannot remember. but i know hugh was and i loved him as usual.

[finn's mom]

refresh my memory was colin in this one, cannot remember.


Yeah, he plays a great role. He's the jilted writer who can't communicate well with his Portugese assistant.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

:D

[finn's mom]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

:D

Did you enjoy it?

[ChrisH]

Last weekend I watched two films, Garfield 2 and Night at the Museum, laughed a lot & loved them both. :D

(At Worlds End tomorrow, fingers crossed :) )

[Alysser]

(At Worlds End tomorrow, fingers crossed :) )

I am sure you both are going to love it. :D

[Roxyluvsme13]

Did you enjoy it?
Yes!

Of course I can enjoy anything with Pirates though because I'm a die-hard fan, but I would still think it was a wonderful movie even if I wasn't obsessed.

Definitely seeing it again, probably Monday :D

[dogzr#1]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End


My favorite of the three movies! Loooved it so much, but as Bri said, not just because I'm a die-hard fan, but because it was just a good movie. My brother also really enjoyed it! ***** out of *****

[carole]

My daughter was going to see pirates on sunday, and it was booked out, i have never seen that happen before and we have two large cinemas,so maybe next weekend .

[finn's mom]

I'm lame. I'm watching Love Actually again. I just saw it for the first time at the beginning of the month, and this is probably the fifth time I've seen it. :D

[critter crazy]

OMG!! hubby and I just watched "Little Miss Sunshine". Ha ha ha ha ha!! I am laughing so hard!!! :D :D Shes a Super Freak!!!!:D :D

[zoey]

^ i heard that's good from several people at another board i attend. must see it. :D

i saw one hour photo. while Robin Williams was good in his role as per usual, the ending could have been better. The last 20-30 minutes could have been done w/ much more intriuqe, though the effects and the beginning really is mesmerizing. sets you up for a big
...dumb ending. but kind of trippy. dunno somewhat disappointed in the um ending if you didn't get that yet.
:p

saw also scooby doo and the boo bros. now that was good!
:D

[finn's mom]

OMG!! hubby and I just watched "Little Miss Sunshine". Ha ha ha ha ha!! I am laughing so hard!!! :D :D Shes a Super Freak!!!!:D :D


Oh, man, I've posted about that film recently. I loved it! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt (especially the part with the horn and the porn!!!!). I was unbelievably moved for the teenage son, that scene is amazing and heartbreaking, so much emotion! I literally burst into tears as soon as he reacted.

Great, great movie!

[Rainbow]

I've watched 'Double Happiness' It's from a few years back but it's an underated wonderful film.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Pirates of the Caribbean 3.. again. :p

[finn's mom]

I've watched 'Double Happiness' It's from a few years back but it's an underated wonderful film.

Who's in that? I have never even heard of it. I love movies, and I love to find out about ones I've never seen.

[finn's mom]

Pirates of the Caribbean 3.. again. :p

My friend from El Paso is coming up here to Dallas this weekend, and she's never seen any of the Pirate movies! So, she's said that she will rent the first two and watch them this week so we can all go see the third one this weekend. She'd better do it, too, because I don't think I can wait much longer!!!! :D

[finn's mom]

Transformers! OH MY GOSH, it was amazing! Great, great action...and I love Shia LaBeouf's sense of humor, I think he has great timing and can't wait to watch his career grow. I really loved the movie.

There are several movies out that I want to see...Rescue Dawn, Interview, Goya's Ghosts, Joshua, The Nanny Diaries, The Simpsons Movie, Evening, Waitress...the list goes on and on!

And, on Tuesday, Hot Fuzz comes out on DVD, I'm so excited! That was a hysterical movie!

[carole]

My son and daughter just saw the dvd Hot Fuzz in the weekend, they both loved it, my son's girlfriend went and saw Knocked up at the movies and really liked it, i hope to go this weekend with hubby.. i also want to see Because i said so and georgia rules, chick flicks i am sure ,but think i would enjoy them.

My son loved Transformers, he of course grew up with them, i remember when the animated one was out and optimus prime died, he told me he cried, he is a big softie really at heart,even though he comes across as being very macho :) lol.

[I_luv_rusty]

I saw The Simpsons Movie today with two of my friends. I liked it, it was really funny. :D

[The Cat Factory]

Over the past few weeks I have watched...

Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer
Dead Silence
Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon
The Pianist
Irreversible
The Hills Have Eyes 2

I enjoyed all but The Hills Have Eyes 2, it was really bad.

My brother got me 300 for my birthday, so I am going to be watching it soon. :)

[anna_66]

The Hills Have Eyes 2-very gory

The Number 23-Different, but I liked it

[finn's mom]

We've been watching a movie every night for the last week or so...most recently, The Pursuit of Happyness. Great movie, although very draining. It's amazing what that man went through in his pursuit. Will Smith is pretty incredible.

[KittyGurl]

I haven't watched a movie yet today, but yesterday I watched Little Man and The Bridge To Terabitha.

[binka_nugget]

I recently watched The Simpsons, Transformers, License to Wed, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and the first two Bourne movies. Alan and I both fell asleep during The Simpsons. It was pretty funny.. but I felt it dragged on a bit. Transformers was AWESOME! We saw it in a drive-in too which was really neat! License to Wed was better than I was expecting.. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Chuck and Larry was okay.. we heard it wasn't very good but it wasn't terrible. We watched the first two Bourne movies so that we can see the third one tonight. Looks good! :D

[The Cat Factory]

I went to see Halloween with my sister and her hubby last night. I didn't like the first half of the movie, but the second was alright...

Lately, I have watched...

Closer
Canada Russia '72
Hot Fuzz
Shaun Of The Dead
The Forty Year Old Virgin

I thought all of the above were really good. :)

[carole]

Just watched wild hogs on dvd, it was ok, quite funny,average, and then went and saw Premonition with sandra bullock my fav actress and julian mcmahon,(SP) was a pretty good movie, enjoyed it.

[Suki Wingy]

I watched A Very Long Engagement the other day at it was lovley. I can now add to my list of movies I've cried at. Air Bud, Flicka, and A Very Long Engagement. I tend to cry at happy endings.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I watched Wild Hogs a couple nights ago- There were some funny parts, but overall I wasn't too impressed with it.

[Alysser]

Today I went to the movies to see "Rush Hour 3". I have never seen any of the movies but I loved this one. It was absolutely hilarious. Very funny, I was laughing through the whole film! I really need to see the other 2. :D

[carole]

Yep you kinda summed it up well how i felt about wild hogs too, i feel alseep half way through to be honest, but i was tired. lol :)

[cloverfdx]

I bought and watched Major Payne & Clueless a couple of days ago... love both of them.

[jazzcat]

We've been watching a lot of movies lately after going years without watching many. Just some we've seen in the past month are The Queen, Night at the Museum, Norbit, Shooter, Zodiac, The Departed, Dead Silence, 300, Epic Movie, Hot Fuzz and The Illusionist. I finally saw Talladega Nights and really laughed.

I've seem parts of several movies and hope to catch the rest some other time, especially Premonition and The Astronaut's Wife.

[carole]

Lori premonition is a bit confusing but a good movie in my opinion, but then i am such a sandra bullock fan, she can do no wrong lol, but i think most people would enjoy it.

I saw Norbit in the weekend, it was ok, funny in places, but then i am not easily entertained,average movie really i thought.

Apparently perfect strangers is a good movie, so must hire it out soon.

[cloverfdx]

I just hired 5 weeklies for $5 woohoo.

Saw II
The Seed of Chucky
Pretty in Pink
Prozac Nation &
Snakes on a Plane

Hmm now what to watch first.

[anna_66]

We rented Hot Fuzz, 300 & Vacancy...all were very good.

Hubby and I are currently watching movies practically every night. From Lori's list, we have also watched Queen, Shooter, Zodiac, and The Illusionist. Shooter has made me a Mark Walhberg fan - that movie was sooo good and is not even my type of movie. Similar to Illusionist - we watched The Prestige and found it so intriguing that I bought a copy to watch again and try to figure out some of the twists and turns!. Premonition was fantastic - I still find myself thinking about that movie and trying to figure out some of the things that happened and I *think* I have it :)

Yesterday we actually went to a theater and watched 3:10 to Yuma. LOVED it!! Like an old fashioned shoot-em-up, only better! Christian Bale and Russel Crowe were good and the way it was filmed in a big expansive way was also great visually.

In the previews I saw two movie coming out with my all time favorites, Tommy Lee Jone and *Denzel Washington* :D The titles are In the Valley of Elah (jones) and American Gangster (Denzel and also Russell Crowe) Today, The Brave One with Jodie Foster comes out - I wonder if I can persuade hubby to go to the theater again?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE movies!!

edit: did go see The Brave One this evening and I thought it was terrific!! It grabbed my attention and held it to the very end. I found myself very drawn in to the story. Again, this one was filmed with interesting camera angles - some very close and sometimes with the camera vantage seeming to draw back and upwards to give the movie more of a feeling of actually watching the story unfold. Jodie Foster was so believable in the role!

[cloverfdx]

So far i have watched....

Saw II, good movie but kind of freaky. I watched it by myself Friday night, then again with friends on Sunday morning.

Pretty in pink, i usually love John Hughes movie but was not that impressed with PIP.

Snakes on a plane, i have seen it many times before and it still makes me laugh.

Seed of Chucky, i was a bit out of it whilst watching it Saturday morning, but thought it was boring... they seemed so much scarier when we were kids.

[finn's mom]

3:10 to Yuma was fantastic. I love both Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, I'm a big fan of Westerns. This movie was great in every way. Great action, sweeping cinematography, phenomenal acting, great heart, I loved it!

I've watched the Producers (with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick) and Chicago in the last week, I love them both!

[Danegirl2208]

I watched "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" tonight.

gotta love Will Ferrell LOL :D

[carole]

Lori i thought you would enjoy premonition, yeah i am not sure if i have got yet, i think so,but it sure makes you think about the movie again and again, sandra bullock was great as usual.

Saw TURISTA on dvd, well what can i say, pretty gruesome, but good in some parts, kinda ended too abruptly was waiting for more to happen, and PERFECT STRANGERS, liked this movie,nice little twist to it.

Anyone seen butterfly effect 2, i saw the first one and liked it and am thinking of hiring it out soon.?your opinions appreciated.

[cloverfdx]

I didn't even know there was a # 2 :eek:. I love the first one, one of my favourite movies.

Finally saw "Rush Hour" and "Rush Hour 2" in the last couple of days! Loved them both, those movies are hilarious LOL. :p

We saw The Brave One this afternoon - really enjoyed it. Jodie Foster is a magnificent actress. Some of the others you have mentioned are on our 'to-see' list.

[jazzcat]

We watched Fracture, Ghost Rider and We Are Marshall this weekend. I really liked Fracture. It had a good twist I wasn't expecting. Ghost Rider stunk in my opinion.

[Grace]

Just got home from seeing Michael Clayton. I give it http://bestsmileys.com/thumbs/7.gif http://bestsmileys.com/thumbs/7.gif

[binka_nugget]

I recently saw 3:10 to Yuma, Heartbreak Kid and Good Luck Chuck.

I loved all of them! 3:10 to Yuma was very well done. I H-A-T-E westerns but I was really into this movie.

Heartbreak Kid and Good Luck Chuck were both hillarious.. if you see Good Luck Chuck, wait for the credits.. they have some extras in there. It was the best part! *snickers*

[critter crazy]

He he he he he he!! Just watched Evan Almighty!! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Loved it!! Especially the stuff in the Credits, too hilarious!!:D

[cloverfdx]

In the past couple of weeks i have watched (& bought)....

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.. it was interesting, typical Gus Van Sant movie LOL.

I Love you to Death, i loved it. I adore Kevin Klein and River Phoenix & thought it was a 'cute' movie.

Life as a House, another Kevin Klein movie and another of my all time favourites. Makes me cry every time.

[Grace]

Another Tuesday ($3 for seniors), another movie. Today was Elizabeth: The Golden Years.

Cate Blanchett is superb; Clive Owen is gorgeous. And it makes me want to read some English history.

[carole]

I love cate, she is an awesome actress, and clive is good too.

[binka_nugget]

I saw The Comebacks a few days ago. I liked it but it's definitely one of those movies you have to be in the mood for. It's one of those ridiculously-stupid-yet-highly-entertaining movies.

[Grace]

Yesterday, another $3 Tuesday movie.

Dan In Real Life with Steve Carrell.


Love strikes in the worst-possible circumstances for widower, single dad and popular family advice columnist Dan Burns when he falls for a beautiful stranger in a bookshop – only to discover she’s the very same woman his charismatic brother is about to introduce as his incredible new girlfriend at their parents' annual get-together. As the weekend gets underway, Dan and Marie scramble to hide their mutual attraction to each other, resulting in a series of hilariously awkward situations.


We both enjoyed this one - nothing world shattering, just a fun movie with great Rhode Island scenery.

[carole]

I won a double pass to a vip movie premiere, held at our le grand hotel, it was great, had the vip treatment, champers,canapes, of which i had none, but hubby enjoyed the canapes, and a free magnum, now to the movie, it was a french film with sub titles which i usually hate,but this movie was great, enjoyed it throughly, can highly recommend, the name of the movie is PRICELESS starring audrey tatou, think i got that right, she is one beautiful lady.

[Zippy]

Halloween 1 and 2

[anna_66]

Watched 1408 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450385/) last night. Two thumbs up, loved it! Very creepy.

[carole]

Thanks for that review, i just got some cheap tickets to 1408 for my daughter, she loves horror and creepy movies, so good to hear it is good, saw the shorts at the movie premonition, it looked good and too scarey for little ole me. :)

[The Cat Factory]

I watched 1408, Mr.Brooks, and Hostel II over the past couple of weeks...I thought all three were pretty good. I bought Babel and The Last King Of Scotland, so I will be watching those soon. I have had Blood Diamond since it came out on DVD, and I still haven't watched it, so I hope to soon!

[carole]

My sister said The last king of scotland was quite gruesome, so be prepared, but i think she said it was a good film too. :)

[cloverfdx]

I bought The Butterfly Effect 1 & 2, i love number 1 but number 2 sucked:(.

[carole]

Aww thats a shame, i loved butterfly effect one as well, was hoping to hire out the other one, often the sequels are not good eh? pity about that was looking forward to seeing it, might not bother now.

[Grace]

We watched The Departed on HBO Sunday afternoon. Several people have commented on this movie in earlier posts. It lived up to the descriptions - violence, language - but it was really good. I'm glad I saw it at home instead of the theater. It's long, and my bladder is small http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/March16th/shuffle.gif

[Danegirl2208]

I watched Transformers, wild hogs and 1408 over the past few weeks.

Is anyone else looking forward to seeing "I am legend?"..I can't wait!

[finn's mom]

Is anyone else looking forward to seeing "I am legend?"..I can't wait!

OH MY GOSH. I am really excited about seeing this movie. I hadn't even heard of it until a couple nights ago. It looks fantastic, Will Smith is a wonderful actor.

I just saw American Gangster and it was incredible. Brutal, but there was a lot of heart. I loved seeing Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington together, they were both great. That film is where I saw the preview for I am Legend. :) The preview made me cry, so I know it'll be a good one. ;)

[finn's mom]

I know this isn't a "movie", but Band of Brothers is absolutely a must see. Even if you're not necesssarily a fan of war films, this is a stand out among war films. It really is beautifully done, and is about real people in real situations, which makes it all the more touching. It really makes me feel proud to be an American and in complete awe and admiration of the men who fought in World War II. It is a mini-series that was on HBO a few years ago (maybe 2001) and is definitely something I plan to watch many times.

On a lighter note, I saw Surf's Up and it is great fun! I am planning to buy the soundtrack first, as it is really upbeat and makes me smile. :D

[CountryWolf07]

"Meet the Fockers"

[Danegirl2208]

I bought so many movies on Black Friday lol..hey who can beat $2.88? ;)

I bought:

pursuit of happiness
stomp the yard
the holiday
bedazzled
drumline
scooby doo (which will probably be going to my neice)
the Da Vinci code
devil wears prada
hills have eyes
the omen

and theres a few more i'm sure. I've only watched one so far.

[Grace]

We saw Enchanted this afternoon. It is delightful!! Suitable for kids from 5 to 95.

[Alysser]

I saw that movie on Saturday, and I really enjoyed it. Love the ending. ;)

[RICHARD]

I saw 300 and Long Way Round, American Beauty and the Chumscrubber.



300 was OK.

Long Way Round was fantastic. 5 days after watching it I am still engrossed by the whole premise of riding a motorcycle around the world....

Am Beauty and Chumscrubber are the kind of quirky movies I love. :D

[dukedogsmom]

I just watched Vacancy and it was so scary! I loved it. I've also rented 1408, Evan Almighty and Planet Terror from the Grindhouse movie series.

[finn's mom]

I love American Beauty. Long Way Round sounds great, have you seen the trailer for a film called Into the Wild? It sounds awesome and it makes me want to go off and have an adventure like that, too!

[cloverfdx]

I bought and watched The great outdoors (John Candy, Dan Akroyd etc).. very funny movie. I cannot believe it will be 20 years old next year :eek:.

[finn's mom]

That's a great movie!

[finn's mom]

The Golden Compass. It was really great, I am looking forward to the rest of the story! Two previews at this film were for fantasy type movies that I want to see, too...The Spiderwick Chronicles and the newest installment of the Narnia films. :D

Oh, and I saw August Rush, too. It was predictable and cheesy, but I loved it. It was very heartwarming and the music is wonderful!

[Alysser]

Surprisingly, I have some time to preview I am Legend for you guys before I go to school. Can't wait for WINTER BREAK!

Well, I really liked this movie. The concept was really good and seeing NYC abandoned except for those things(I think they're called Nightcrawlers) and Will Smith was pretty cool. You'll never see it like that. ;) Anyway, it was a little scary, especially for someone like me who hates scary movies.

*SPOILING WARNING*

I cried at the part where the dog died, it was really emotional because the man was left with no other companions


At first I didn't like the ending, I thought it was pretty stupid. But after thinking it over thoroughly the guy could definitely have not gotten out of the situation and I think it was for the best it ended the way it did.
*SPOILER ENDED* I am Legend is one of those movies where you have to piece it together yourself. There are some confusing parts if you don't get it like why he has to lock up when he sleeps and stuff. So overall, I liked it and enjoyed it. It was a little scary and confusing for people who aren't used to seeing movies like that. For the record, I HATE scary movies and to me that was classified as "scary enough".

Hope this helped anyone who wanted to see it but was not sure about it.

[Grace]

Last Friday we saw Charlie Wilson's War - really good. Enjoyed it so much I ordered the book. Then Saturday night on The History Channel there was a 2 hour show about Charlie Wilson, complete with interviews with the real Charlie and real Joanne. Very informative.

Tomorrow we're going to The Water Horse; Legend of the Deep. I'm looking forward to this one.

I'm really looking forward to both of these, be sure to let us know how you like The Water Horse!

[Cincy'sMom]

We saw National Treasuer 2 over the weekend, and really enjoyed that one. I actaully liked it better then the first. Last night we watched Ocean's 13, which was also very good, although I think 12 is my favorite.

I am really hoping to get to see Sweeny Todd this weekend.

[Scooter's Mom]

In the last week I have seen:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Break-Up
Ratatoutie

Not bad since I usually never get to watch any movies unless they're on tv. :)

[binka_nugget]

I saw Sweeney Todd last night. It was very well done! Awesome cast, awesome director.. fantastic film!

[finn's mom]

I can't wait to see it! :) Your's is the first "review" I've heard. :)

[anna_66]

We rented some movies this week...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Deck the Halls
Oceans 13
The Simpsons Movie

I liked all of them.

[jennielynn1970]

I decided to rent some movies over Christmas break... I disconnected my Direct tv about a month ago, so I haven't been watching anything (my first year without A Christmas Story in years!!! :eek: ).

I rented:
Superbad
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
Music and Lyrics
License to Wed

I've watch Superbad, which I thought was going to be funny, but it was just a bunch of high school boy bathroom and body humor. It wasn't even funny... it kinda matched the title of the movie. :rolleyes:

I watched I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry for a 2nd time tonight, lol. I just kept cracking up at that one. I loved seeing the different guest stars they had in the movie (Dave Matthews as the gay shop clerk in those plaid pants, omg...). And Ving Rhames coming out as the gay firefighter was just too much... Seeing him singing I'm every woman naked, in the shower, with the other guys just staring, I about peed my pants! His bod is pretty smokin', so I did pay attention, lol. Good lord that man is ripped!

Kevin James was really good in it too... I love him from King of Queens! And the guy who plays the one friend was in the movie too, so that was cool.

Almost anything with Adam Sandler I love (Wedding Singer is the BEST). Never really got into his really odd movies, or the ones where he played a serious role, but I've watched some of those.

Will watch one of the others tomorrow... probably License to Wed, since I'm in the mood for corny movies. I'll probably have to pull out Wedding Singer too, I haven't watched that for about a year, so I'm about due for another dose of that one! :D :p

[caseysmom]

We went to see I am legend, I really liked it. I didn't think it was scary but I got stressed out at a lot of the parts.

[sammy101]

I saw Juno tonight and I thought it was really good. I really liked it :)
I watched Hairspray for the first time yesterday and loved it. I thought i wouldn't like it but I really do. Now I just have to learn the songs :p

[cassiesmom]

My niece (age 16) saw "Juno" with some friends and really liked it.

I was invited to a friend's Christmas DVD double feature - "Elf" and "It's A Wonderful Life". We ended up watching just "It's A Wonderful Life", but I saw "Elf" on cable recently. I love where Buddy calls himself a cotton-headed ninnymoggins!

[jennielynn1970]

I just watched "License to Wed" and it is really hysterical. I love Robin Williams! Mandy Moore is just so sweet in this, and the guy who plays her boyfriend was cracking me up. The "Choir Boy" is a piece of work too. He's definitely a protege of Robin Williams.

[Grace]

Better late than never. Today we saw The Water Horse - delightful!! I will see it again - for sure. Special effects were seamlessly woven into the movie - Crusoe was magnificient!

[jazzcat]

We watched Spiderman 3 this weekend. It was just okay, I'm not into comic book movies. We are planning to finally watch Pirates 3 this coming weekend.

[Grace]

Saw The Bucket List, with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, yesterday afternoon. Not as funny as I thought it would be - guess all the funny stuff was in the trailer - but enjoyable.

[cloverfdx]

Not a movie but i bought an watched series 1 of Huff!.. i love that show.

[carole]

Watched Next and the tattooist (sp), did not think much of Next, but the Tattooist was pretty good, rather gory for my liking, but it did keep my interest, which is quite hard to do lol, it was filmed in NZ and by NZ director Lee Tamahori,it is about the samoan culture,not any pretty scenes of NZ though,but then again it is not that kind of film.

[finn's mom]

Pan's Labyrinth. It was stunning. Subtitled and dark, but beautifully done and so well acted. There were a couple parts I actually had to turn my face away. Overall, though, the movie was magnificent and I will watch it many more times.

Grace, I want to see The Bucket List! I think it looks wonderful!

[cloverfdx]

Evan Almighty
I Love You To Death
Pimp My Ride - Series 2.... not a movie i know.

[I_luv_rusty]

Well last night I started watching The 40 yr old virgin at my friends house, then fell asleep but finished it this morning. It was really funny but kind of gross haha. :p

[Genny]

we watched death sentence last night..it was really sad but i liked it...

[carole]

I just watched a couple of movies i taped off the telly, Cellular and what lies beneath, i found both movies quite entertaining.

[Alysser]

I saw "First Sunday" last weekend in theaters, and wasn't too impressed.

[Grace]

It's Tuesday, Senior Day, at our local theater.

We saw Mad Money with Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes. Delightful!! More fun than I anticipated.

[cloverfdx]

The last movie i watched was actually a Heath Ledger movie Two Hands, watched it a few nights ago :(.

[momcat]

The other night we saw "The Simpson's Movie". I haven't laughed that much at a movie since the first time I saw "Young Frankenstein"!

[jazzcat]

We watched Live Free or Die Hard last night. It was okay, lots of action as usual for those movies.

Finally saw Shrek the Third and Pirates 3. They were just okay. Pirates was way too long for me.

[Grace]

Breach with Chris Cooper, Ryan Philippe and Laura Linney. The story of how the FBI got Robert Hanssen - the worst spy ever in U.S. history.

It came out last year, but I don't remember hearing about it. I recorded it from HBO the other night, and we watched this afternoon.

[CountryWolf07]

We Are Marshall & Hope Floats

[Grace]

Oh, we saw Marshall when it first came out - really enjoyed it!!

Our son knows the real Jack Lengyel. Jack was the Athletic Director at the Naval Academy when Michael went to school there. Jack thought it was really cool that he was portrayed by Matthew McConaughey.

[binka_nugget]

I just came back from National Treasure: Book of Secrets. I HATED it. It was just all over the place, awkward and incredibly boring.

[Moesha]

Rented Second Hand Lion. Was a better movie than I expected. Several friends and family members had recommended it.

[Cincy'sMom]

I've had that one sitting out for a few days, but haven't put it in yet. We watched Racing Stripes and Eight Below instead.

[luvofallhorses]

I saw the game plan on Tuesday LOVED it. :D

[kitten645]

U23D and LOVED it!! I do love U2 but was on the fence about it being 3D (silly for an adult to sit there for 90 minutes with silly glasses!) and the last IMAX film I saw made me motion sick! But I loved it and would go see it a few more times.
Claudia

[anna_66]

Saw 4 Good but gory.

[pitc9]

Saw 4 Good but gory.
Oh yeah... the hubby and I saw it in the theater when it opened.... I had to watch the first part with my ears plugged (and I closed my eyes a few times too) :eek:

We rented Good Luck Chuck. FUNNY!!! But there's quite a bit of raunchy stuff and a lot of topless women!

[Grace]

My sister said The last king of scotland was quite gruesome, so be prepared, but i think she said it was a good film too. :)

We saw this today - it was gruesome. Forrest Whittaker was wonderful as Idi Amin. Watching it made me want to learn more about the country and Amin.

[carole]

Hired out Ira and Abbey, i did not find this a very good film, however i think some people might enjoy this quirky film, but it was not to my taste, i did watch it the whole way through though,but for me was not up to much, has anyone seen sweeny todd yet, i am off to see it, won a double pass on the internet, so hubby and i are going on friday.

[cloverfdx]

Most recently i have watched My Girl 1 & 2. Those movies always make me cry.. especially the first one when Thomas Jay die's :(.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Meet the Spartans last night. It lived up to my expectations. It wasn't amazing, but we got a couple good laughs. Probably the worst of the spoof-type movies though.

[cloverfdx]

A couple of friends and i finally got to see Sweeney Todd, and we loved it :). The blood was very fake though, so that was amusing ;).

[anna_66]

We rented Good Luck Chuck. FUNNY!!! But there's quite a bit of raunchy stuff and a lot of topless women!
Just watched it last night...not really what I thought it was going to be but funny none the less!

[carole]

Just came back from seeing sweeny todd, i have to say it was the worst film i have ever seen, i was so bored, i hated the musical side of it, but then i do not enjoy musicals of any kind, and i agree the blood was very fake, there were a few interesting moments in the movie though and Johnny was his usual wonderful self, i won tickets to this movie, and have to say i would NEVER EVER pay to see it,if you enjoy seeing throats cut about ten times, then yep maybe it is your kinda of movie,but honestly for me i cannot see why they even make these type of movies. 2/10 for me, i nearly was going to walk out, but i wanted to see what actually happened in the end,like i said there were some good parts in it,when they were not singing. :)

[binka_nugget]

We saw Definitely, maybe tonight. I loved it! Kinda predictable, but I teared up as well as my boyfriend and the girl beside me. :P Alan suggested we go see it again haha! It was a fantastic movie with fantastic actors!

[Grace]

Miracle - from 2004, about the 1980 United States Olympic team that beat the Russians. LOVE this movie.

[Grace]

A Man For All Seasons. It was on TCM this evening. I've seen it maybe 20 times - and I truly feel it is the best movie I have seen in my lifetime.

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

Me and DH just finished watching 30 Days of Night - we both thought it was really good. We also watched American Gangster - I thought it was a good movie. :)

[The_Duck]

I watched Men In Black 2 with my best friend. Classic. :p

[Grace]

We saw Vantage Point this afternoon. Lots of action, never a dull moment, and one terrific car chase at the end.

[cassiesmom]

I saw part of one of the "Bourne" movies on USA over the weekend. I found it after it had started, and couldn't watch all the way to the end -- GRRRR! I'd like to see the first two, from start to finish - because I liked the most recent one a lot.

[Suki Wingy]

I watched Hair and then I went and started it again. :D I just picked up the DVD from our shelf because I was bored and my mom started singing the one song called "Hair" from it.

I loved it. The characters, the clothing, and especially the horses doing dressage to the music while the people are also dancing at the beginning during the "Age of Aquarius" song.

[kittycats_delight]

I watched Sweeney Todd tonight for the second time. I rather enjoyed it. I actually enjoyed the music though the voices were terrible. I think the vulgar voices just added to the overall vulgarity of the movie. That is what I enjoyed the most about it. I found it to be very Tim Burton. I liked the fact the accents were over exaggerated and the 'special effects' were quite fake. In my opinion the vulgarity of the film is what makes it quite good.

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

My Mom brought over Dan in Real Life for us to watch - it was a really good movie. I love Steve Carell, I think he is too funny. :D

[Grace]

Senior Tuesday - we saw Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, with Amy Adams and Frances McDormand. Fun movie!

[caseysmom]

I watched a movie on lifetime last night that was excellent..."an eye for an eye" it is from 1996 but it is excellent.

[carole]

My daughter and her friends are off to see THE EYE tonite, so will let you know what they all think. ;) :)

[binka_nugget]

I saw 10,000BC this weekend. It was GREAT! Loved it! Great storyline, fantastic actors, and amazing graphics!

[carole]

Well the kids verdict on The Eye, was i would not pay to go and see it, i had free tickets to a preview, they did not seem very excited about it at all really, that is two 15 yr olds opinions.

[Grace]

Nim's Island with Jodie Foster, Abigail Breslin and Gerard Butler.

Lots of fun, gorgeous scenery, and one for all members of the family.

[anna_66]

Perfect way to put it. My favorite song was A Little Priest:p

Great movie...I really enjoyed it even though I don't like musicals!

I did finally get to watch I am Legend. Enjoyed it too.

[Grace]

Smart People with Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church and Ellen Page.

We liked it. Got 3 *** in our local paper. I would see it again.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Street Kings, 21 and The Other Boelyn Girl recently.

Street Kings was mediocre. Not horrible, not outstanding. I was pretty into it for most of the movie and shockingly surprised that I was enjoying a Keanu Reeves movie. However the ending was far too rushed. There was just way too much information thrown at you all at once. Overall, it was alright.

21 was AMAZING! I loved it all! Great actors, wonderful story, intense.. it was awesome!

The Other Boelyn Girl was also fantastic. I had never cared much for history but I went home after the movie and read everything I could find about the Tudors and the Boelyns. It was an amazing movie!

[Denyce]

I saw Pathfinder this weekend with the NZ actor Karl Urban. It was great and he is such nice eye candy. He was Eomar in the Lord of the Rings movies. Hubba hubba

[carole]

yes Karl is indeed a hottie,we do have some rather delicious guy's down under don't we? lol :)

[Denyce]

yes Karl is indeed a hottie,we do have some rather delicious guy's down under don't we? lol :)


Yes you do! Good thing for my hubby I love him so much...*snicker* I saw that Karl is in another movie called "Out of the Blue" I believe. A true story about a shooting there in NZ? Have you seen it? Is it a good movie? But if you haven't seen Pathfinder you should just to watch him for 2 hours. I plan on buying the blueray version soon.

[carole]

yes i think i have seen out of the blue on the telly, pretty good movie, if i remember right,glad you enjoy seeing our karl so much,,here is a pic for those who don't know him.

[Elf Shadow]

yay for Karl Urban! though the only movies of his i've seen are LotR.so many hot blokes there.
I watched Sleepless in Seattle last night.i'm not really into romantic stuff,but i was bored and there wasnt much else on.

[Denyce]

yes i think i have seen out of the blue on the telly, pretty good movie, if i remember right,glad you enjoy seeing our karl so much,,here is a pic for those who don't know him.


*happy sigh* :D :D

[Scooter's Mom]

I watched a movie on lifetime last night that was excellent..."an eye for an eye" it is from 1996 but it is excellent.

I LOVE that movie. Sally Field does an awesome job in it.

[binka_nugget]

I saw 27 Dresses and Forgetting Sarah Marshall recently.

I absolutely loved both. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was HILLARIOUS.. but uh.. be prepared for some male full frontal nudity. :eek:

[finn's mom]

I finally bought Brokeback Mountain and watched it. What an incredible love story. The actors did a spellbinding job and the cinematography was breathtaking. Greatness, for sure.

[carole]

just watched Fools Gold, disappointing really, again i fell asleep, i am sick right now, but i think i still would have, it just did not keep my interest long enough, it was ok i guess.

[Medusa]

Anne of the Thousand Days w/Genevieve Bujold and Richard Burton. I wanted to compare their account of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn to other movies and books. Richard Burton made me laugh; he's so dramatic. He'd wrinkle up his nose as though he was going to sneeze and then he spit out his words as though they tasted bad. It was a stormy night, though, so it was a good pasttime.

[Suki Wingy]

I finally got around to renting and watching Balto today as I've never seen it. I loved it. :D :love:

[binka_nugget]

I've seen tons of movies the past little while.. I got a part-time job back at my old work (theatre).

Get Smart - HILLARIOUS! Great movie and cast!

Love Guru - Absolutely lived up to my expectations.. so many funny bits. Might check it out again.

The Happening - I want the two hours of my life back. It was like they ran out of money for the movie and ended it right there. Total disappointment.

Iron Man - I LOVED this movie! The action and graphics were just wonderful. Great cast too.

Hulk - Another fantastic one. Once again, action and graphics were great.

What Happens in Vegas - Eh... predictable but alright.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan - FUNNY! Not classic Adam Sandler funny.. but highly entertaining!

[Alysser]

I just got back from seeing "Wanted". It was pretty awesome, but also pretty stupid. I'm not going to give much away but it there was none stop action and gore. I love Angelina Jolie's driving :p It was pretty intense. As I said it was a little confusing at the beginning especially and the plot was stupid at some parts but overall it was good. 10/10 on the action/gore scale. ;)

[CountryWolf07]

Wedding Crashers. =)

"This is a real world lady! You just can't go on shooting people on a whim!"

haha..

[Suki Wingy]

I just finished watching Como Agua Por Chocolate. (Like Water For Chocolate)
I liked it a lot. Usually, when I like a movie, I have two reactions, I either watch it right over again, or I sit there and think about it. This one is the second. I knew nothing about it coming into it, my parents rented it and so I decided to watch it. My mom told me she originally got the book because she liked the cover, but it turned out to be one of the best books she had ever read.
It turned out to be very much like Romeo and Juliet at the end, which I wasn't expecting, but I should have guessed from the way they did the beginning.

If you've never heard of it, it's about Tita, a young woman living on a ranch in Mexico during the time of the revolution with her two sisters, mother, and maids. She is destined to never marry because she is the youngest daughter, she must take care of her mother for the rest of her life. Enter Pedro, it's love at first sight, but her mother will never allow it. I won't tell you any more since I don't want to give away the whole plot before you watch it.


Argh, I forgot that I watched Jersey Girl last night on TNT. I remember not being thrilled with it at all when I saw the trailer, but I was flipping channels and I caught the very beginning, so I watched, and I liked it.

Now I'm about to watch Firefly for the billionth time. :p I love it too much, it seems to just get better every time. Joss is Boss. :p

[Genny]

I watched Vantage Point last night. I thought it was a really good movie--I watched it with my mom though and she didn't like how it went back and forth so much..you know how it went to the beginning several times and showed what happened to each of the people..

I also saw 10,000 BC I loved it..it was a sweet/sad story.. I cried at the end...;)

[Suki Wingy]

I've been wanting to see 10,000 BC, I'm glad you liked it.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E and Wanted recently..

Kung Fu Panda:
SO incredibly funny! I normally don't like animated movies but it was a good laugh!

Wall-E:
The movie was really cute.. very funny and a simple love story behind it too. :D

Wanted:
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! :D It's possibly my new favorite movie. Tons of action, awesome visual effects, gore and I actually really enjoyed the storyline.

[finn's mom]

Now I'm about to watch Firefly for the billionth time. :p I love it too much, it seems to just get better every time. Joss is Boss. :p


No joke. I am a huge Firefly fan. Did you watch the show or Serenity, the movie? I was just thinking of having a Firefly watching party with a friend this week. :)

[finn's mom]

Wall-E:
The movie was really cute.. very funny and a simple love story behind it too. :D



I thought this movie was beautiful! Nice little warning for us, too, I thought. ;) It's amazing how they can animate a character like Wall-E and make him so endearing!

[elizabethann]

Count me in as a Firefly fan too! I loved the movie and the series. My co-worker has the box set and I borrow it from time to time. It was on t.v. a few weeks ago (when I called in sick...cough...cough). ;)

My co-worker said the series lasted one year. I never saw the series when it was on t.v.

[finn's mom]

My co-worker said the series lasted one year. I never saw the series when it was on t.v.


Neither did I. The first I'd even heard of it was when the film came out. I went to see it with friends and they told me about the series and the fan base and the history of it. So, I immediately went out and bought the DVDs and watched all of them in a weekend. It's the only tv series I've ever loved like that.

[Taz_Zoee]

I forgot about this thread. I had my nieces up in Tahoe with me for a few days and we rented 5 movies!!:eek: Bruce was like....why do you go to Tahoe to sit inside and watch movies? Well, because we didn't know what else to do. LOL We didn't have money to do much more.
Anyway we watched:
27 Dresses
Definitely, Maybe
Fool's Gold
How She Move
10,000 BC

It was nice to be "home" where you can wear your pj's and pause it to go potty. :)

[Suki Wingy]

No joke. I am a huge Firefly fan. Did you watch the show or Serenity, the movie? I was just thinking of having a Firefly watching party with a friend this week. :)

That night I watched Shindig. I wanted to see Mal duel, as I'm in fencing class now. :D
I was introduced to it by my parents, who rented Serenity, and then I loved it so we started getting Firefly from Blockbuster Online. I found the whole season for $20 at Target a little over a year ago, it was probably the best $20 ever spent. :)
Now I have 4 Firefly/Serenity shirts, I'm wearing one today, actually. I love it when I see another Browncoat. :)

I used to watch Angel when it was on TV, I'm a little too young to have watched Buffy when it was on, I'm exactly 10 years younger than Buffy. I watched the first 2 seasons of it on hulu.com but that's all they had, so I'm waiting for blockbuster online to have season 3, disk 1 available.
_____________________________________
I just saw Wall-E tonight. :) I smiled quite a lot during it. My name's Eva, so now I have people calling my name in that voice just to annoy me. :rolleyes:
I especially loved the credits, they were like the evolution of art. :D
I also got a free watch when I bought the ticket, and I needed a watch so I'm going to wear it.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Hancock last night. It started off lacking something.. it was pretty boring in the beginning. But it quickly got better and I ended up really enjoying the movie overall. The ending is great :D

[binka_nugget]

I just got back from the midnight screening of BATMAN!! :D It was AWESOME! I was blown away by everything! The action, the effects, the cast.. it was all great!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Saw Mama Mia the Movie last night! It is wonderful - the audience laughed all the way through and the bit just after the credits was worth the entrance feel alone ;)

[Medusa]

"Youth Without Youth" written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It's deep. Gonna have to watch it again.

[Alysser]

I just got back from the midnight screening of BATMAN!! :D It was AWESOME! I was blown away by everything! The action, the effects, the cast.. it was all great!

My brother and sister went to see that and they got home at around 3am. I wanted to go so bad, but I had work. But I'm glad everyone thought it was awesome! Can't wait to see it!

[CathyBogart]

Oooh, FI wans to see batman, maybe we'll go today...

[carole]

We hired the Dvd P.S I LOVE YOU, out on our wedding anniversary, i must say what a lovely film indeed, comical, sad, happy, cute, all in one, and girls there is some rather nice eye candy in it too, highly recommend, probably more a chick flick, but i saw hubby enjoying it and having a laugh or two.:D

[Suki Wingy]

Carol, I had to laugh at the term "hired" a DVD. I guess it's a cultural difference, what with you living on the other side of the world from me.


I just finished watching the first 4 episodes of Dexter, and I'm hooked. I love the photography and music, and the storyline is great. I'm putting the rest of the season on my Blockbuster queue.

[carole]

Yep it must be lol, what do you say then? i assumed everyone hired out a DVD lol, yep we have a lot of different sayings in NZ,one is rattle your dags, it means to get a move on.:D

[Grace]

Last week we went to see Swing Vote, with Kevin Costner. Went with another couple and we all enjoyed it - lots of laughs.

Just now watched Steel Magnolias - I do love that movie.

[Moesha]

Yep it must be lol, what do you say then? i assumed everyone hired out a DVD lol, yep we have a lot of different sayings in NZ,one is rattle your dags, it means to get a move on.:D


We say that we rented a movie rather than hired it. :cool: I may start saying hire though! It's too cute.

[carole]

oh well we use both those terms rent and hire,funny the difference in things isn't it? glad you think it is cute lol.;)

[momcat]

For those who enjoy political thrillers, be sure to see "Vantage Point". The President is assassinated while attending a summit conference in Spain. The movie shows the assassination from the point of view of several witnesses. Every time you think you have it figured out, you don't. Lots of twists and a major surprise!

[binka_nugget]

I saw Pineapple Express recently. It was SO funny! However, if you go in expecting an Apatow classic, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's good, but no comparison to his other movies.

I also saw Tropic Thunder last week. It was highly entertaining and the cast was great!

I saw Clone Wars last night too.. I was really disappointed. It was cheesy. The storyline was dry. The movie was excruciatingly long.

[finn's mom]

Blow. I can't believe it's taken me this long to see this film. I love Johnny Depp, and I'd heard this was a great movie. Definitely true, it was very good.

[carole]

Melissa went and saw the new batman The Dark Knight , she loved the movie, said it was the best movie she had ever seen, apparently her friends thought so as well.

I saw Blow some time ago and honestly it is an amazing film, i really enjoyed it too.

[RICHARD]

Shaun of the Dead.

God what a stupid, thoroughly enjoyable movie!

I hadn't laughed like that in ages!

[finn's mom]

I saw Blow some time ago and honestly it is an amazing film, i really enjoyed it too.

It truly is!


Shaun of the Dead.

God what a stupid, thoroughly enjoyable movie!

I hadn't laughed like that in ages!

I totally agree, it is awesome!

[cloverfdx]

The Dark Knight, i loved it.

Panic! with William H. Macy, Neve Cambell etc. Not too bad to for a $2 DVD from a cheapo shop lol.

A friend bought me series 2 of Dexter as an early Bday present, but i have not started on it yet as i have not finished Series 1 ;).

[pomtzu]

I watched the made for t.v. remake of the original movie "On the Beach" which was made in the late 50's. It's about the aftermath of a global nuclear war in which somebody "pushed THE button". Rather depressing since it shows what REALLY could happen, but very enlightening also. This should be on everyone's "must see" list - especially for those that still think that this will never happen.

[finn's mom]

I just saw PS I Love You. I really enjoyed it. It's nothing amazing or life altering, but I really loved it. :) Sweet and lovely. And, eye candy, woo! I love all the men in it, Gerard Butler, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Harry Connick Jr. Such sexiness, but all three in really different ways. Great music, too.

[carole]

Isn't it just the sweetest movie ever, and like i said some really good eye candy in that movie for us women,plenty of sweet offerings lol, i also really loved it too.

Just watched St Trinnians, there were some funny bits in it for sure, but i got tired of it after a while, i did not see the end, bed seemed a much better place to be,i love colin firth though so was worth seeing my favourite hunk,i would not rate it very highly,but it was ok,just a tad over the top for my liking,but hubby and daughter seemed to enjoy it.:)I have to admit i am not easily entertained, and my attention span is limited unless it is a really good movie.

My daughter went and saw The Dark Knight a second time, so i guess this one rates extremely high with her, she still say's it is the best movie she has seen in a long time.

[Alysser]

I went to the movies on Friday to see House Bunny. It wasn't that great, I didn't really like it as much as I usually like those movies. It was funny, but it wasn't the greatest movie.

I also saw The Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 a few months ago. Eh, it was okay. Again not that great.

THE DARK KNIGHT IS AMAZING! <333

I want to see that movie with Richard Gear, I forgot the name and it's going to annoy me forever. It's another love story but it looks so cute.

[binka_nugget]

Recently I've seen:


Ghost Town - SO funny! Great story and wonderful choice in actors

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - I loved this movie! It was really cute and again, wonderful choice in actors

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Extremely funny movie!

Beverly Hills Chihuahua - Typical, predictable, but adorable! I took my younger siblings and they both enjoyed it a lot

Eagle Eye - Stupid, stupid movie.

Nights in Rodanthe - Like all of the other Nicholas Sparks book-turned-movies (A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, The Notebook).. I cried like a baby. :p

Lakeview Terrace - I got pretty into this movie but the ending was very quick and blah.

The Women - Eh... maybe if Sex and the City didn't just come out, it might have been okay.. but it feeled like they were trying too hard to be SatC

Disaster Movie - I can finally say I've walked out of a movie :p:rolleyes:

House Bunny - I loved it! It was so adorable.. I went back a couple times cause it was so good!



Yeah... I see a lot of movies LOL

[Zippy]

in the past few months=
Grey's anatomy season 4~good season,better then S3 not better then S2
Gossip Girl season 1~good show,I loved the books
One Tree Hill~1-5 on DVD~I love this show,It's one of my favorites
A wonderful life ~Love these movie was soooo happy to find it in color

[Alysser]

We watched The Crucible in school, not that bad but not the best either, it bored me a bit. :p I saw House Bunny like two months ago, it was really stupid and not that funny either. Not what I expected. I can't wait to see Marley and Me!! :D

[finn's mom]

Horton Hears A Who. What a fun, fun movie! Definitely a must see. I laughed so stinkin' hard, especially the scene when the Mayor gets the dental shot in his arm, hahahahahahahahahaha.

[Suki Wingy]

I forgot about this thread! I FINALLY got a hold of a copy of Drop Dead Fred. It is the best movie in the world ever. And not just because Rik Mayall is wonderful in it.

[RICHARD]

Radio, Cuba Gooding, **** A real neat sports/human interest story

Invincible, Mark Wahlberg.**** A real neat sports true story!

Hot Fuzz, Simon Peel? ***** I loved it. Another throughly enjoyable Brit movie. good off beat humor~

Smokin Aces***** I don't care for Jeremy Piven, He was GREAT in this movie.
A pay attention action movie!

[ramanth]

The Last Mimzy. Very cute film. :)

[binka_nugget]

I saw High School Musical 3 today... sadly I enjoyed it.... a lot. :D:rolleyes:

[finn's mom]

I forgot about this thread! I FINALLY got a hold of a copy of Drop Dead Fred. It is the best movie in the world ever. And not just because Rik Mayall is wonderful in it.

I love that movie, too. I remember as a preteen or early teen it was on Showtime, and it came on about five or six times a day. We watched it a couple times a day one summer. :) hahahaha, it's the mega b**** with the death breath! hahahahahah

[The_Duck]

I skipped school and watched Paycheck with my mommy today.

[Suki Wingy]

I LOVE Rik Mayall. He's like a god. It was pretty much the only thing he's done that I haven't seen, and I couldn't find it anywhere until I downloaded Vuse, a bit torrent program to download it. When he says "Hey Snotface, look at this!" and then holds the flashlight to his face and does that thing, I loved it. He does that face/weird laugh thing in pretty much every show he's ever done.

I really wish they didn't cut him out of Harry Potter, he filmed and was payed for the part of Peaves the poltergeist but they ended up cutting him out of the entire movie. :(

[RICHARD]

Reign of Fire-**** Good SciFi dragon flick!

We Are Marshall- **** Another Matt McConnaghey (sp) movie-good sports flick

The Last King of Scotland ***** Forrest Whitaker Great movie, scary because it happened.

The Departed. ***** Jack Nicholson, Still a bad ass! Good Guy Bad guy movie!

Alien vs Predator. **** You have to love the monster that bleeds corrosive
blood! How do you kill him without messing up your shoes?:eek:
