movies you watched today

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I saw Sex and the City: The Movie and it was really good. Now I'm hooked on the show. I had never watched it before then!

[jennielynn1970]

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


Forrest Whitaker is amazing, isn't he?? Such a versatile actor. The fact that it was based on truth, wow... it just amazed me. That guy made it out of there by the skin of his teeth, and he's damn lucky.

[Suki Wingy]

I feel like every time I watch Sex and the City I get dumber, no joke.
And I can't take Forest Whitaker seriously because of the roll he played in ER.

The eye thing sometimes throws me off. Yes, he's a good actor.
I first saw him in the Crying Game, that was another good movie!

[binka_nugget]

I saw "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" on Friday.. then I saw it again on Sunday. It was SOOOO funny! Really raw, raunchy and maybe even over the line for some.. that said, it's my new favorite movie! :D

[finn's mom]

Oh, yeah, I think "maybe over the line" isn't accurate...it's DEFINITELY over the line for a lot of people. I found it hilarious personally. I would never recommend it to my mother, though. There are way too many completely offensive lines and scenes, I don't think she'd be able to see past that at all.

[K9karen]

*Gia*, Angelina Jolie's first big solo movie..kinda dark and depressing.. I'd seen it before but John hadn't.

*Blue Velvet*..John's choice...strange and weird.

I have lots of animated stuff and comedies on my Netflix list.

[finn's mom]

*Blue Velvet*..John's choice...strange and weird.




I love that movie. David Lynch is a total weirdo. Have you guys seen "Wild at Heart"? Another strange one!

[binka_nugget]

Haha my friend and I have that kind of sense of humor.. we've been quoting the movie ever since we saw it. I picked him up from the dentist today after a wisdom teeth removal. They were telling me about his meds and said one may cause constipation. Can you guess what I recommended incase it happens? LOL.

Did you stay for the credits? :D

[caseysmom]

Watched "the strangers" it scared the crud out of me for about an hour and then I was feeling like just kill them I dont' care!

Saw "failure to launch" finally, it was a cute movie.

[anna_66]

We watched "The Happening" last night. WOW, brought up so many emotions in me.
Excellent movie.

[Suki Wingy]

I found This Is The Army on TCM last night and now I love it. :D

[binka_nugget]

I saw Quantum of Solace a couple nights ago. Blech. The ONE saving grace was that Daniel Craig was shirtless. :D :p

[anna_66]

Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy 2....loved them all!

[finn's mom]

"Seven Pounds." Amazing. Crushing. Brilliant. I loved it. Cried my heart out, and left feeling really good! :love:

[Giselle]

I'm patiently waiting for Frost/Nixon :D

[Suki Wingy]

I've seen Twilight and Bolt since I last posted here. I liked them both but Bolt made me cry.

[finn's mom]

"Bolt" was AWESOME! So funny!

[kitten645]

Twilight was great. The Happening, hated it. Milk was AMAZING and Sean Penn (who I dislike personally) should win an award. I found the parallels between 1978/Prop 6 and 2008/Prop 8 fascinating. I'll buy it when it comes out on dvd.

[carole]

you know i was never a fan of sean penn either, until i saw him in I am Sam, now i just love him, and watch anything he is in, he is a brilliant actor.

I must go see this film,thanks for sharing.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Yes Man today. SOOOO funny! I loved it all :D Great cast, great story line.. I'll definitely have to buy the book it's based on :D

[Grace]

. . . . . . . . . . Milk was AMAZING and Sean Penn . . . . . . . should win an award. I found the parallels between 1978/Prop 6 and 2008/Prop 8 fascinating. . . . . . . . . . .

I totally agree. Saw MILK this afternoon. Sean Penn was terrific. Loved the interspersing of old footage with the new.

[Suki Wingy]

Yesterday I saw Yes Man and The Ice Storm. Yes Man was pretty good but I really loved The Ice Storm.

[finn's mom]

I can't wait to see "Milk" and "Yes Man." I really love Sean Penn and Jim Carrey. I have been a fan of Sean Penn for a long time, but the one that sold me on him was "Sweet and Lowdown."

[ramanth]

Saw Bolt this past weekend and I started crying at the very beginning when they show the little guy in the shelter. Hugged our pups (and kitties) when we got home. :love:

[Grace]

Just got home from seeing Doubt, with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Very powerful movie.

Meryl Streep amazes me. We last saw her in Mama Mia as a carefree unwed mother; now she's a nun - the kind that would hit you on the knuckles with a ruler. What a gifted actress.

[RICHARD]

Heist- *** Huge Gene Hackman fan, good story.

Fracture **** Good movie. "Hannibal" finally gets his!;)

No Reservations **** Not a chick flick kinda dude, Love CZJ....Would do her dishes any day. The kid in the movie was really good. I don't like kid actors, but she was exceptional.

Jumpers * I love sci fi, but this movie sucked. No history or background as to why you can jump!

Transformers * WTFWT? Again, I love sci fi, but I could not tel what was going on with all the special effects. Dumb.

[finn's mom]

The Duchess with Keira Knightley. I'm not a huge fan of hers, per se, but I really enjoyed this movie. It's based on actual people and events, and is pretty accurate, from the bits of knowledge I have about the people. Great movie.

David and I started watching John Adams last night, and wow, it is incredible. It's not a movie, really, but a mini-series that was on HBO. We've only watched the first two parts, though, and I can't wait to see the rest!

An older one I watched the other night, The Thing Called Love, with Samantha Mathis and River Phoenix, Sandra Bullock and Dermot Mulroney. It's full of music and I love it. The soundtrack is excellent and I think it's either Phoenix's last or close to his last movie. All the actors I listed sing in the movie!

YOu know, I never saw any of PSH movies and lately he has shown up in quite a few.....I loved him in C Wilson's war and last night I saw RED DRAGON and he played the reporter that gets invovled with the mass killer....

Graet actor.

------------------

I also watched CONEHEADS again and was amazed at all the stars that were in that movies.....A good 'see' even just for the people you recognize!

[Grace]

Past few days -

Double Jeopardy, 1999, with Ashley Judd, Tommie Lee Jones. Lots of action and I was so glad when she shot the creep.

On The Beach - the original from 1959, with Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Ava Gardner, Tony Perkins.

[pomtzu]

On The Beach - the original from 1959, with Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Ava Gardner, Tony Perkins.

Wow - my all time favorite. I bought the DVD of the original and was sorta hoping that it would have been remastered(?) in color, but I still like it better in b&w even over the made for t.v. version.

I think everyone should watch this at least once. It really makes you think, doesn't it?

[iluvjack813]

13 going on 30 xD

[Alysser]

I saw "Taken" recently. Surprisingly excellent movie! I didn't expect it to be good as I heard it was low budget and kind of weird. The guy was better then James Bond at killing Bad guys! :eek: It was kind of fake, but it was pretty good. I enjoyed it. It was about an Ex-spies daughter being kidnapped and going into the Bosnian(or some other 'B' country) sex slave trade, he goes to rescue her and eventually does. It was pretty cool.

Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. I hadn't seen it in years but it was very good, obviously. I love the Lion King!

[sumbirdy]

I haven't watched very many movies lately.

A few months ago I watched P.S. I love you. I cried the WHOLE way through it. But I think that was mainly because me and my Irish boyfriend had just broken up. Any time I hear someone with that accent I cry and start missing what I had. The Irish accent is so beautiful to me. I loved that movie.

And then last night I watched August Rush. I loved that movie as well. The music was wonderful in it. And it had some good eye candy as well.

[Nomilynn]

Over the holidays I saw "The Tale of Despereaux" which was very cute. I also saw "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" which was very very good. A bit long in some parts but an interesting story.

my BF and I borrowed "The Gift" and "Transformers" the other night. The Gift was pretty good, but I really loved Transformers. It brought back so many memories of my old toys!! :p

On my list of must sees is "Milk", "The Wrestler", "The Reader", "Revolutionary Road", "Marley and Me"... I can't wait for "Where the Wild Things Are" when that finally comes out!!!

[binka_nugget]

I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" today. It was SO good. I cried like a baby and noticed everyone around me was crying too. It was so sweet, and the cast was outstanding!

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm not sure it was just you...I cried through the whole thing too. I watached it on HBO about a month ago.
Then I saw Marley and Me last week, and cried through most of it. Last night I watched A Walk to Remember, and cried through most of that too. I went to bed asking myself, why do I keep watching these movies that I know I'm going to cry all the way through?!?

We also watched a movie called Jumpers the other night. I had not heard of it before, but it was pretty good.

[Grace]

Wow - my all time favorite. I bought the DVD of the original and was sorta hoping that it would have been remastered(?) in color, but I still like it better in b&w even over the made for t.v. version.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I watched it - it should be required viewing for everyone, not just in this country but the world.

Tonight I just watched Hans Christian Andersen, 1952, with Danny Kaye. I still remember most of the songs by heart.

[joanofark]

I just watched Minority Report with Tom Cruise.

Good movie!

[RICHARD]

"My, what nice hair you have....Have you ever found any spiders in it?"

[Taz_Zoee]

Saturday night I watched The Women. It wasn't until over half way through the movie that I realized there are NO men in this movie. Not even in scenes where there are a lot of people. The only male that makes it on screen is a baby at the very end. (Sorry if that ruined it for anyone.) I just thought this was very interesting. The movie was okay. I loved Meg Ryans hair when it is curly. :)

[RICHARD]

Lately I have been taking time off of my sports channels and watching movies.


In the last few weeks I saw....

Fear ***- Good Mark Wahlberg movie- He plays a creep in this one.

Reservation Road **** - Dude, I never really cared for Joaquin Phoenix. I thought he was a DB in the gladiator movie. He always snags the deep roles that you have to watch two or three times to figure out who he is playing.
His roles are really too deep to handle-they make me really uncomfortable.
good movie-drags a little.

The Longest Yard **** - The Original! Burt Reynolds was great in this! I was watching this at 3 in the morning and I was laughing loud and hard!

[Grace]

This afternoon - Frost/Nixon. Excellent movie, the acting was superb.

[RICHARD]

Do documentaries count in this thread?


I can watch them all day long, especially the HBO docus....:D

[Roxyluvsme13]

Documentaries should count :p

And if TV on DVD counts, then I've been watching Angel for like... weeks. I have way too much TV on DVD :rolleyes:

[Grace]

The Savages, 2007, with Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Good movie.

[sumbirdy]

The Waitress-It was pretty good. A little slow at first but it picked up.

[MoonandBean]

Is it just me or has the movie selection this past year been lame? I can't think of the last good movie I've rented. I am looking forward to going to see Marley and Me...it's been soooo long since I've actually wanted to go to see something in the theater.

Some all time favorites:
Dave
Defending your life
The Green Mile
The notebook
In and Out
50 first dates


Thanks for this thread. I can go rent some oldies but goodies now :)

I agree, the selection is boring. :p I rarely go to the movies anymore. I saw some old movies yesterday like The Princess Diaries and Mean Girls, they aren't "old" per say but old enough. I recently got on a lion king kick, GOOD movie!! :D I loved it, and STILL LOVE IT :love:

I hear people talk about the notebook constantly, I don't like it one bit, I didn't find it believable I guess. I'm not into love stories that much I guess. :o

[binka_nugget]

I saw Bride Wars yesterday. It was predictable but cute.. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen the trailers. It was one of those movies where ALL the good parts were already in the trailer.. the rest was filler.

[finn's mom]

I watched National Velvet last night, that's one of my all time favorites. Made in 1944!

I started watching The Other Boleyn Girl, too, but the DVD player malfunctioned and David was already asleep in the other room with a DVD player. Gonna finish it today, but so far, I really like it.

I think the movie selection in the past few years has been pretty great. I rarely have a problem finding a movie I want to see in the theater. I can't remember the last time I rented, though.

Movies I wanna see include, but aren't limited to...

Gran Torino
Milk
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Marley and Me
Defiance
Yes Man

There are many more, but those are just the most recent releases, they're still in theaters.

[binka_nugget]

I saw My Bloody Valentine 3D yesterday. It was SO funny LOL.. but it shouldn't have been :P Lots of gore and bad acting.. it all made for a very amusing movie.

I saw Gran Torino, Benjamin Button and Yes Man.. they were all very enjoyable! Benjamin Button was particularly amazing! You'll love it! :)

[Grace]

Just saw Last Chance Harvey with Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Very enjoyable.

[Suki Wingy]

Documentaries should count :p

And if TV on DVD counts, then I've been watching Angel for like... weeks. I have way too much TV on DVD :rolleyes:

Me too, but online here
http://surfthechannel.com/show/278.html
I've watched two and a half series since new years eve.

[finn's mom]

Just saw Last Chance Harvey with Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Very enjoyable.

I really want to see that. :love:

[Grace]

From 1956 - Anastasia with Ingrid Bergman, Yul Brynner and Helen Hayes. Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar for this role.


From 1953 - Winning of the West with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette.

[Suki Wingy]

I've seen Get Smart, Pan's Labyrinth, Underworld 3, and The Dutchess. I think I liked Underworld 3 the most out of them.

[Grace]

From 1984 - Firestarter with Drew Barrymore, George C. Scott, Martin Sheen . . . . . .

[Grace]

And we just finished watching, from 1973, The Sting, with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Doesn't get any better than that :love:

[RICHARD]

The Savages. *****

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney, Stumbled on it the other day, very timely for me!

[Grace]

I've been recording one after another. Tonight I watched, from 1951, Showboat, with Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel and Ava Gardner. Love all the music.

[Zippy]

The Other Boleyn Girl
I thought it was a good movie.

[Zippy]

have way too much TV on DVD :rolleyes:

So do I.
I watch a ton of TV on DVD.

[finn's mom]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Great movie, very well done. Magical! :love:

[Grace]

From 1964 - Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb with Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and Slim Pickens.

[Grace]

Capote with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Wow - what a fantastic performance. Now I know why he won the Oscar.

[blue]

Head of State. Im not done watching it but not only am I LMAO, Ild vote for this guy.

[carole]

I saw Transamerica on the telly couple of weeks ago, really great movie,great acting too.

[blue]

I saw Transamerica on the telly couple of weeks ago, really great movie,great acting too.

I added TransAmerica to the list.

Slumdog Millionare, its an indipendant film about a pair of Indian, dot not feather, orphan brothers with a Who Wants to be a Millionare subplot. Good flick.

[Grace]

Interrupted Melody (1955) with Eleanor Parker, Glenn Ford and a very young Roger Moore.

Great music - true story.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Slumdog Millionare recently. Great movie! Would definitely recommend this one.. :D

[kokopup]

Rescue Dawn starring Christian Bale and Steve Zahn, i really enjoyed this story. *****

The film recounts the true story of German-born Dieter Dengler, who dreamed of being a pilot and eventually made his way to the United States where he joined the military during the Vietnam War era. He was shot down over Vietnam and captured. His detention and escape made for an intense story.

[Zippy]

Recently I have seen:
Chronicles of Narnia-Lion,Witch and the Wardrobe
Chronicles of Narnia-Prince Caspian
Harry Potter movies 1-4(buying the 5th tomorrow)
The Goonies

[Suki Wingy]

Lately I've been watching tv shows online, no movies. A LOT of Doctor Who, some Angel, and I recently bought reason one of M*A*S*H on dvd so I've been watching that too.

[Grace]

Last night - Dead Man Walking

Tonight - Gigi

[Zippy]

Harry Potter 5 and EagleEye

[Grace]

Just finished watching P.S., I Love You.

And the other day I watched Miss Potter.

Both enjoyable; both with wonderful scenery.

[RICHARD]

Section 60- an HBO documentary about the Section 60 in a cemetary where the Iraq /Afghanistan vets are buried.

As I watched it I noticed that two of the headstones had the DOD around my birthday- one was killed on my Bday. Made me think and very sad indeed.


Meet the Spartans- **** I LOVED 300 and thought this was really funny. It was all stupid humor -but they stayed away from the 'fart' jokes and the immature crap- even tho some people think it was stupid, I loved it.

My cable provider is presenting movies for .01 this weekend and I want to see Hellboy II!

[RipplingWaves55]

I hate movies.

Usually..


But the other day
I watched Space Buddies
it was so sad and funny at the same time
my favorite character was Budderball.

I love any movie
about dogs
and I give it a 100star. That's the only movie I'll watch 3 times in one day.:love:

[momcat]

Last weekend I watched "The Blob"... the original from 1958 with a very young Steve McQueen! Loved it yet again.

Last night we watched "American Gangster". Great movie

[RICHARD]

Hellboy II was really good.



WHat was the big deal about Dark Knight?

THat movie really sucked. Heath Ledger was really ill in this movie-No wonder he killed himself-that was a totally effed up character he played and anyone could see that he was on his way to trouble.

I didn't see anything good about it and the people who praised HL for playing such a 'dark' role should kick themselves into a coma for thinking it was a good 'acting' job.

Sheesh.

[Grace]

Just got home from seeing The International. Really good movie.

Did you ever wonder who owns the U.S. national debt? This movie will make you ask that question.

[Alysser]

Hellboy II was really good.

I didn't see HellBoy II yet :( The Dark Knight was a AWESOME movie!! It was really long and the explosions get to you but I thought his acting was the best of all the characters in the movies. :D

[RICHARD]

The part that bugged me was seeing HL and kind of knowing that he was fighting demons much larger than Batman. I think that is what wrecked the movie for me. Seeing someone that might NOT have been acting?

I'll give it another try and write a book report!


I love Ron Perlman and think that the HB movies are fun-especially his love of cats. The cats aren't as prominent this time out, but there was the one scene that made me laugh! "Come On OUT!":D

[binka_nugget]

I recently saw:

He's Just Not That Into You - FUNNY! I loved it.. it's just as good as the book!
Pink Panther II - I fell asleep.
Confessions of a Shopaholic - Had its funny moments but nothing particularly memorable
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - Some cool shots but a majority of the movie was a snore
New In Town - Funny! Great cast and some really great lines!

[Grace]

From 1960 - EXODUS - with Paul Newman, Eva Marie Saint, John Derek, Sal Mineo . . . . . . .

[Suki Wingy]

I watched Moondance Alexander to sort of preview it for my boss to see if she wanted to play it for the kids at saddle club. It was ok. The height of cheese, and I'm usually a sucker for cheese but this was way over the top.
http://www.moondancealexander.com/

I mean come on, she's on a tight budget so she buys rubber boots a used jacket, and a GPA helmet? GPA helmets start at like $300.

Last movie I saw in the theatre was Rise of the Lycans, I saw it opening day with my friend and we both loved it.

[Zippy]

Good Witch's Garden(It was on hallmark a few nights ago)
It was a good movie.I will have to catch the first one when it's on.

I tried to watch The Waitress and Changeling but couldn't get thorw them.

[Suki Wingy]

ooh, The Waitress has Nathan Fillion right?

[sirrahbed]

We never miss anything with Clint Eastwood so went to see Gran Torino yesterday and thought it was fantastic. I woke up this morning thinking about it - LOVE movies that make me do that. I will have to watch it again to see parts I missed. Eastwood movies have so many subtleties. Hubby and I generally have "different" taste in movies so am wondering if anyone else here has seen this one and what they thought. It was fun to see moments where "Dirty Harry" appeared:D We both laughed and cried.

[RICHARD]

Taking Chance -************************************************** **

Can I give it TWO LEAKY EYES or LES's?

HBO premiered this short movie, based on the notes of a Marine officer who volunteers to escort the body of a young Private who us killed in Iraq.

I watched it twice tonight because I could not get through it the first time.

A very touching story about how our soldiers 'get home' when they are killed in combat.

For me, this movie especially reinforces the notion that the caskets boing brought home from overseas should NOT photographed and printed as a media propaganda tool.

To take one dead soldier's casket and use it in the media as a representation of all the the rest is a slight to the families of service people and the men and women who prepare and escort them to their final resting places.

Great movie, see it if you can.:(

[caseysmom]

I saw slumdog millionaire, I really like it. I wasn't really that interested in watching it but it was really good.

[Scooter's Mom]

I watched The Changeling with Angelina Jolie.
Loved it!

[Medusa]

"Burn After Reading" w/Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, all my faves. It should've been titled "Burn Instead of Viewing". Ugh.

[Zippy]

I saw this movie last night and thought it was great also.Sad but great.

[anna_66]

Seen the new Friday the 13th-some new twists-really liked it.

Martian Child-what a wonderful movie. Very touching.

[RICHARD]

I saw the Slumdog Millionaire cast interviewed at the awards show last night.

The kids were obnoxious and as they got more and more excited, they sounded like one of those overseas tech calls where the tekkie has had more that three cups of coffee!


No thanks, I'll pass on that flick.

What's a million in rupees, anyway?
IT's only 20.070.20 in U.S.D. and there are no dogs in the movie.


THUMBS DOWN.;)

[finn's mom]

We never miss anything with Clint Eastwood so went to see Gran Torino yesterday and thought it was fantastic.

I have heard nothing but good things about that film. I love Clint Eastwood, he has just really made some incredible films. I really love Million Dollar Baby, and have heard that this is as good.

[finn's mom]

I saw slumdog millionaire, I really like it.

I have been wanting to see it. It just looks beautifully done. :love:

[Nomilynn]

I saw "Milk" last night. Everyone should go see this movie. It was amazing, and I cried and cried at the end even though I knew how it would turn out! :p It is amazing to me, that in 1978 California voted "no on prop 6" but in 2008, it was "yes on prop 8" - it really made me think.

[carole]

I just watched "Japanese Story" for the third time, and i am a person who hardly ever watches a movie more than once.

Please if anyone else has seen it, i would love to hear what you think about it, i have raved about it before on PT long time ago, it stars Australian actress Toni Collette (from muriels Wedding) she is fantastic in it too.

I think this movie has the complete package,a little drama, good humour,Romance and there are some moments in it i can only describe as tender, and beautifully done, not to mention the wonderful scenery of the Australian outback.

Prepare to have your box of tissues handy girls.

LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I also watched Death at a Funeral last night on the telly,was very enjoyable, good British sattire, bit over the top at times, but yes entertaining.

[Elf Shadow]

I watched The Dark Knight for the first time last night.Liked it,Heath Ledger really stole the movie as the Joker.

[Nomilynn]

I just watched "W" tonight, and was very impressed! It was far more sympathetic than I thought it would be. James Brolin was amazing!

[RICHARD]

I HATE ADAM SANDLER.

I won't watch anything that he stars in except SPANGLISH.

I saw it again on broadcast tv and laughed just as much as I did when I first saw it. Funny and true.:D

[carole]

I quite like Adam, i thought Click was pretty good, and was it first forty dates or something like that with Drew, i liked that too, don't like all his movies though, Spanglish was pretty good too.

[blue]

Watched W. Pretty dang good, I think a few things where slanted but with Stone that was to be expected.

[Suki Wingy]

Today I went to the library and I got a PBS special on Andrew Jackson and a 30 minute VHS on MacArthur. I also went to Walmart and succumbed to their $5 DVD bin. I bought Fiddler on the Roof, which I am about to watch. I have only seen a high school production of it, about 6 years ago. That and "If I Was A Rich Man" is one of my grandpa's favorite songs to sing. :)

I watched about 2/3 of the Jackson one and it was pretty good. I have a feeling the MacArthur one will be a joke considering they're trying to cover three wars in 30 minutes. :rolleyes:

[momcat]

Watched W. Pretty dang good, I think a few things where slanted but with Stone that was to be expected.

I watched it tonight and thought it was great. As for being "slanted" that depends on the viewer's individual point of view.

As well as the directors point of view, still it was a good movie.

[binka_nugget]

The Watchmen - Great movie. Wasn't prepared for some of the nudity... but it was fun flick to watch.

One Week - There was a lot of stereotypical Canadian stuff.. I'm surprised they didn't say "Aboot" haha. I slept for an hour during the movie.

[RICHARD]

I stumbed upon "Defintitely, Maybe" - "Guy/chick flick" movie-it was pretty good. The lead gal was a great actress.

I found Red Dragon for 3 bucks at Big Lots....
That's my saturday matinee!:D

[Grace]

From 1968 - Oliver. I loved it - the music keeps going round and round in my mind.

[Skyfire]

Not something I watched today, but yesterday I watched "The Simpsons Movie"

I would like to see Watchmen in the theater sometime this weekend.

[Grace]

From 1998, Elizabeth, with Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush. Wonderful movie.

So far today, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, the first three Star Trek Movies.

[sumbirdy]

I watched Kung Fu Panda. I didn't really like it that much.

[Skyfire]

I just finished watching the movie "88 Minutes" It's very suspenseful and always trying to guess who the killer is! Watch it people, if you like crime/thriller/suspense movies!

Sisterhood of the traveling pants-I thought it was a cute movie

[binka_nugget]

I saw "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" on Saturday. Dear god. The acting was horrible! The movie itself was entertaining but I couldn't stop thinking about the cheesy acting. Eh.. it's an alright flick to watch if you're bored I guess.

[blue]

Bucket List, brought the funnay and almost LES.

Watching 88 Minutes right now.

[Zippy]

I watched Northern Lights on Sat.It was a really good movie.It was based on one of Nora Roberts books.

[finn's mom]

I watched Twilight. It was pretty good. Nothing I would go ape over, but I would watch it again.

[jennielynn1970]

I watched Nights in Rodanthe. Talk about sap. Ugh. Was so not thrilled with the movie.

[binka_nugget]

I watched Nights in Rodanthe. Talk about sap. Ugh. Was so not thrilled with the movie.

The book is farrrrr better.. though still very sappy.. :p


I saw "I love you, man" the other night.. it was hilarious! I mean, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd! How can you go wrong? I will most definitely see it again!

[sumbirdy]

Twilight

The book is better but I like the movie as well.

[Milly Molly Mandy]

I saw Marley and Me at the cinema last night.....soooooooo funny, but also incredibly sad. Definitely recommend it to all pet lovers!!

Mandy

[carole]

Watched Nights in Rodanthe last night on dvd, i had wanted to see it at the movies but missed it,it was ok, quite a nice movie but a bit of a disappointment, i found myself a tad bored, but i am a Richard Gere fan and Dianne lane too, Richard you simply get better with age and i love his grey hair,great to see he doesn't feel the need to dye it.

So yeah an ok movie probably 6/10.

I also won the dvd How to loose friends and alienate people, this was quite funny,and i thought it was a reasonably good movie, but again, it did not exactly excite me, so another 6/10.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Twilight :p.

And I really want March 31 to hurry up so Marley and Me will be out on DVD. Cried sooo hard at the movie and book :(

[kokopup]

I became a kid again. I watched the first movie I ever saw 63 years ago.:)
"Song of the South" was banned in the US many years ago. I got a DVD
online that shipped from Europe. If you haven't seen this Disney classic
you need to order it for you and your kids, grandkids, or who ever. This movie
made such an impression on me as a 6 year old I decided to seek it out online. The reproduction quality compared to todays movies was poor. The one I ordered was not remastered and I found this site after I ordered mine. My DVD was converted from VHS. This one is suppose to be from a better source. It is still worth your time and money.

I love this movie! Always has been one of my very favorite animated films.

[Grace]

Duplicity with Clive Owens and Julia Roberts. Very surprising ending!!

[Suki Wingy]

I rewatched Pieces of April last night, it's such a beautiful movie. :)

[Zippy]

Twilight-LOVED it and can't wait to read the books,I have all four,I skimmed though them and I thought they looked like great books,I have wanted the movie 5 times already

Time to Kill-GREAT movie the closing agruement is priceless

Walk the Line-the movie about John Cash,great movie,these was my second time watching it

Beautiful Mind-one of my favorite movies of all time

Catch me if you can-I am still amazed that this is a true story and think these movie is great too

Hildalgo(i think I spelt it right)-about a mustang the runs a long distance race against some of the top arabian horses,I love horse movies

[anna_66]

Quarantine-loved it. Really freaked me out, especially at the end.

The Watchmen-too long and not enough action, but it was OK.

Eagle Eye-nonstop action. Great movie.

Just bought Marley & Me. Haven't seen it yet, and can't wait!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Marley and Me & Australia LOVE them both. :love:

[Zippy]

The Golden Compass-I liked the movie more then I thought I would It was very good it's no chronicles of narnia or LOTRs

Dances with Wolves-Great Movie.It deserved every award it got.

[anna_66]

Watched Marley & Me...worst movie I ever seen.
It had some funny parts (trying to make a break for it, when he ate the necklace), but when Marley died it was like watching both Keisha and Angus die at the same time since she died of the twisted stomach and we had to put him to sleep.
It hurt both Mark and I so much. I really don't recommend this to any do lover. Surprises me anyone can watch it.
Also, what was up with them and having more kids? Seemed they weren't really happy. There is such a thing as birth control.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I watched "Role Models" this past weekend. I figured it would probably be really stupid, but it was actually better than I thought. There was a lot of "adult humor", but honestly made me laugh out loud several times.

[CountryWolf07]

Marley & Me - Mike and I were really hurt/sad after it was over.. we both agreed it was too sad! Good movie, but too sad. We both were crying near the end of the movie. I don't know if I could handle watching it again.. it definitely brought up my memories of Benny, Anna, and Rosie, and for Mike, his black lab, Lucky.

[Genny]

Tonight we watched '7 pounds' and 'bedtime stories' I thought bedtime stories was cute..and 7 pounds was a different kind of movie but I love Will Smith..he's a good actor..

I watched Marley and Me, it was one of the saddest movies I've ever seen..my mom and i were crying,,,it reminded us of our dogs that have died..but i liked it anyway it was a real sweet movie..we bought it!

Then I rented Australia the other day and watched it...it was a little boring for me but Hugh Jackman is so cute so I watched it LOL;)

I've been wanting to go see 'the last house on the left' anyone seen it??

[aTailOf2Kitties]

Watched "The Day The Earth Stood Still" last night. It was really good.

[Zippy]

Lord of the Rings Trilogy-My favorite movies

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the movie. Had you not read the book? I read the book and cried, but I loved it. I haven't heard that the movie is harder to deal with than the book, but maybe it is because you see the dog? As for having so many kids, I thought they only had three. That doesn't seem like a lot to me. My parents both enjoyed the movie. I haven't seen it, yet, simply because I avoid things like that right now since I'm pregnant. ;)

[Grace]

Watched "The Day The Earth Stood Still" last night. It was really good.

Did you watch the original, or the new one?

We watched "Music of the Heart" from 1999. Based on a true story of a woman who taught violin in East Harlem. Don't think I had ever heard of it, but we really enjoyed it.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I watched the new one last night, but it came with a copy of the original I havent watched yet.

[Suki Wingy]

I watched 72 minutes of a stage recording of Rent with a cast I've never seen before. I only watched 72 minutes because I was watching it on Megavideo.

[Grace]

I watched the new one last night, but it came with a copy of the original I havent watched yet.

I thought the original was much better than the new one. I'm glad the old one was included.

[kokopup]

I rewatch one of my All time favorite movies. "Somewhere in Time"
with Jane Seymour and Christophor Reeve. This is a tremendous movie.

[Zippy]

Left Behind 2-Loved it.Can't deside if I like the first one or these one the best

[blue]

The Prestiege, if you like magic and suspense this is a good flick.

[cassiesmom]

"Hotel Rwanda" was on PBS last night. I did not know the genocide in Rwanda was that bad.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

Tale of Despereaux (cartoon) it made me cry a lot but still a good movie. I guess I was just in a sappy mood:o

[Alysser]

Sweeney Todd- On my way home from Florida, I was stuck in the back of the car bored to death, and my sister loves that movie. I wasn't planning on watching it because I never liked the plot much at all but I did and am very happy with it. First of all, Johnny Depp is the hottest thing in the entire world. I am convinced you could bake cookies on him :D I was in a JD mood as I just got back from Disney World and saw him many times because he was in Pirates..:) He looked awesome. Although I must say if you don't like gore and violence don't even think..remotely..about watching it. Yes it was bad in that way. It's also a very depressing movie but good all the same

[ramanth]

Saw 'Knowing' last night. Really well done. A bit disturbing at times but it really makes you think. :)

[Zippy]

Marley and Me-Good movie but I was crying by the end.

Love takes Wing-Great Movie,I love the Love Comes Softly Series

Love finds a Home-Another Great Movie,I am sad that this is the last movie in the series

[Grace]

This afternoon - State of Play, with Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Better than I thought it would be.

[finn's mom]

This afternoon - State of Play, with Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Better than I thought it would be.


OOOOOOO...I can't wait to see that! So many good actors (Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren, Robin Wright Penn, Jason Bateman, Jeff Daniels). I'm not a huge Ben Affleck fan, but I'm sure he brings his "A Game" surrounded by the others. I'm expecting it to be great!

[finn's mom]

"Hotel Rwanda" was on PBS last night. I did not know the genocide in Rwanda was that bad.


That's an amazing movie.

I watched Slumdog Millionaire. Very good movie, beautifully done, great soundtrack, cool story. I had no idea what it was about, but I really enjoyed it!

[Suki Wingy]

I finally saw Brokeback Mountain last night, and it was very, very good.

[finn's mom]

Oh my gosh, that movie is wonderful. One of the best love stories I've ever seen. It made me a bit uncomfortable in parts, but I like movies that do that. "Growing pains" aren't usually easy. ;)

[Alysser]

Hotel Rowanda was a fabulous movie! We watched it last year in school, I thought it was very well made.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

We watched 'Taken' as a family on Sunday. It was an EXCELLENT movie!

I give that movie a thumbs up! I thought I would hate it, but really enjoyed it. It was very actiony. There were a few parts that annoyed me, like how unstoppable the guy was, but other then that it was awesome!

[Medusa]

The Wrestler w/Mickey Rourke. Tough for me to watch but Rourke was really good. Sad movie.

Ive lost track of what movies Ive watched lately, I just reinstalled the TV on my computer today.

Finaly saw Serpico, Patton, and Serenity.

[blue]

I have also watched the first season of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and with exception of the new Star Trak movie I have seen every movie and episodes of all teh Star Trek franchises recently.

[Zippy]

Pride and Prejudice(newer one)-I loved it.I went out and bought the book and the older version of the movie today.

[Medusa]

Grey Gardens w/Drew Barrymore. She did an incredible job of portraying Edie. She got her mannerisms down, her voice inflection and affectation, too. I saw the original documentary that the movie was based on. (I know, a movie based on a documentary?) and it's a sad story of depression and codependence. That isn't all it's about but I don't want to give it away. See it. Drew Barrymore surprised me.

[carole]

Mary that sounds a good movie, i am a great fan of drew barrymore, i have never heard of it before, but will be enquiring at the video store soon.

Got Disaster movie out for hubby's birthday, i knew it was not my kind of movie, but thought both he and my daughter would enjoy it,i saw the beginning and thought how stupid it was, i never watched it, however hubby said it was just ok,not that great, have got the quantam of solace to watch this saturday,think it will be much better,even if it is still not exactly my type of movie.:)

[Medusa]

I don't know that you'll be able to find it in the video stores, not yet anyhow. It's on HBO or Showtime, I forget which, as one of their specials.

[joycenalex]

saw it last night ....1-good special effects....2- slightly weak plot, 3-spocks' got game...

[Medusa]

Forgot to mention: Jessica Lange was outstanding as Edie Sr. in the movie Grey Gardens. The woman and her daughter, Edie Jr., were relatives of Jackie Onassis and that's why the documentary was done about them. Don't miss this one.

[blue]

Medusa, what was the name of the documentary?

[Zippy]

Some T.V. on DVD:
Beaverly Hills,90210 season 5
Life season 1
I plan to watch the longer version of Pride and Prejudice tomorrow.

[Medusa]

Medusa, what was the name of the documentary?

Oh gosh, you had to ask me, didn't ya? I don't know, blue, I'm sorry. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep so I turned on the TV and watched it in bed. The name of the movie, though, is Grey Gardens, so maybe you can Google it or something and see what you can find out from there.

ETA: I thought I should Google it myself and, as it turns out, the documentary is called Grey Gardens as well. It's about Edie Beale and her daughter. I think that I may try to find the original documentary myself and watch it again. For some reason, both the documentary and the movie really touched me.

[pomtzu]

Grey Garden is available on DVD at Amazon.com

Thanx, Ellie. I should've thought to check. Hadn't had my coffee yet this morning when I posted. LOL I think that I'll buy the DVD myself. I'd like to see the documentary again.

I don't have HBO, so I think I'm going to get it too. I've heard nothing but good reviews about it.

[Medusa]

I don't have HBO, so I think I'm going to get it too. I've heard nothing but good reviews about it.

Well, beware that the documentary is very difficult to watch, rather like a car accident that you can't turn away from. You just have to look. It made me very sad and I felt like a voyeur into the lives of severely dysfunctional people but yet I just had to keep watching. The movie (w/Drew Barrymore) about the documentary is much easier viewing. The movie will more than likely be available for purchase soon enough.

One thing that's very disturbing is the amount of cats that they had and the cats peed and pooped everywhere and right in front of them, too. They left it all there for years to accumulate and the smell and dilapidation of the house prompted neighbors to call authorities and that's what prompted the documentary.

Yeah - I know that feeling of morbid fascination - don't want to look but can't turn away. I think a lot of folks experienced that with 9/11 - I know I did. Don't want to see it, but keep watching in hopes that it really isn't real.

[Alysser]

I saw Star Trek and I really enjoyed it. Awesome pre-quel. ;D

[blue]

Ive been too busy watching The Fresh Prince of Bell Air to watch Grey Gardens and a bunch others Ive been waiting to watch.

[binka_nugget]

Saw Star Trek last night. I have never seen an episode so I wasn't sure what to expect.. it was FANTASTIC!! I'm definitely a fan now! :D

[Moesha]

I took my nieces and nephew to see Hannah Montana the Movie yesterday. I don't know how in the world families afford doing that. I enjoyed the movie and the afternoon, but for the 4 of us, I spent over $40 for matinee tickets, a large popcorn and drink that we shared, and then I took them to Taco Bell. :eek: It made me glad that I'm single without children.

[Medusa]

Since I'm alone on Mothers' Day, (my son lives in CA and I in OH) I watched a movie called "The Nanny Diaries." It made me realize how truly fortunate I am to have raised my son and to have such a good one. Sadly, some people choose to allow others to raise their children and this movie drives that point home. It was cute but poignant.

I watched Because I Said So last night. Me and my friend had some wine coolers (woo!) and watched it, and it was shockingly entertaining! Horrible Mandy Moore acting and all. Omg, the orgasm conversation was hilarious.

[Nomilynn]

I saw Disney's "Earth" during Earth Day week (I can't even remember when that was) because I wanted a tree planted in the rain forest on my behalf. I LOVED the movie, and can't wait for their other nature movies to come out. The bloopers at the end were funny too.

Blues Brothers, The Devils Advocate, and Crank. Just starting Serpeco.

I saw the new Star Trek movie tonight. I'm a fan, not a full blown trekkie because I wouldn't dress up for a movie, although my sister did go to a Star Trek convention to see Jonathan Frakes. I'd give it two thumbs up. JJ Abrams surprised me. It didn't get too crazy like many of his projects do. Now he needs to make an ALIAS movie!

[Zippy]

Pride and Prejudice(4 1/2 hour movie)-Better then the 2 hour movie,I loved it

[Medusa]

Slumdog Millionaire. It's a good thing that I didn't see this in the theater because I found myself talking to the screen. It was another difficult to watch movie. The living conditions in the movie are real and that's truly so sad. Good ending, though, but predictable. I still enjoyed it.

[binka_nugget]

I saw Wolverine last night. It was pretty good but I really wish they would have made the claws look more realistic. They had such great scenes (helicoptor scene for example) but couldn't made the darn claws look better. I think that alone ruined the movie for me.. :\

I saw Star Trek again right after Wolverine.. I can't get enough :D

[blue]

Leon.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

two more thumbs up for Star Trek! Much better than I thought it would be:)

Never Back Down-I loved it

Erin Borkavick(sp?)-Good Movie,I can't believe it is a true story

[anna_66]

Kung Fu Panda...cute!

[K9karen]

Wolverine on Saturday. I thought it was great. Loved the special effects. Hugh Jackman is an Adonis. I thought my heart would pump out of my chest. Had to roll my tongue back into my mouth. I could care less about a plot. It was fun.

[Medusa]

"Carrington" on Showtime last night. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

[Zippy]

Jane Austan Book Club-Cute Movie

Rush Hour-Still funny and still one of my favorite movies

[kokopup]

Atonement in total was a great film. I found it a little slow in the middle and could have been shorter without losing the story line. The war aftermath scenes at Dunkirk were depressing because they showed it like it was. It deserved all of the awards it received.

[Kater]

I saw WALL-E last night. What an adorable movie!! :love:

[Medusa]

Girl With A Pearl Earring w/Scarlett Johanssen. Meh.

NOVA, Hitler's Lost Sub. This is a documentary.

Amazing Grace-What a wonderful movie.

[SANDY FROST]

I saw Star Trek movie and it's the best Star Trek yet. My favorite part of the movie was when young Spock was talking to old Spock. A 5 star rating.

On DVD watch Hotel For Dogs. A very good movie that will tug at your heart strings. Get a hanky in your hand.

Titanic, 1997, I think this is the only time Ive watched the entire movie.

I think the only reason I watched it is because the divers that discovered Hitlers lost Uboat dived in the Mir subs to the Titanic and discovered the likeliest reason why she sank.

ETA: I still think Raise the Titanic was a good flic.
Further ETA: I think the last survivor of the Titanic died today. If IRC she was 2 months old when the Grand Lady sank.

[Medusa]

"He's Just Not That Into You". Cute. Young. But cute.

We saw Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian last week. Just as silly as the first one, but so much fun! Kids, of all ages, will love it.

[Suki Wingy]

I have watched SO many since I last updated. Here's what I can remember

Moulin Rouge- I loved it
Jesus Christ Super Star- pretty good
Phantom of the Opera- didn't like it
Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat- I've seen it on vhs many times before and also twice live with Donny Osmond, so I obviously like it.
Drop Dead Gorgeous- ok
The Derby Stallion- please don't make me watch it again
Hamlet- I LOVED it!
Romeo and Juliet- I forgot how much I really didn't like it
As You Like It- it sucked
A Mid Summer Night's Dream- I own it on dvd, I love it
Flicka- I love it
the 1970s BBC version of The Last Of The Mohicans
The Other Bolyn Girl- it was ok
28 Days Later- pretty darn good, plus it had Christopher Eccelston in it! :D
I Am Guilty- a german film with subtitles, it was bad.
Treasure Planet- I can't believe I didn't see it earlier!

and the one I watched a few days ago and loved, You I Love. It's in Russian with subtitles and it's really cute and weird. I recommend it to anyone. (Just a warning, it has scenes with men making out, so if that bothers you, don't watch it.)

[finn's mom]

UP. It was amazing! Totally fun, way cool, beautiful, heartwarming, action packed, awesome! :)

Star Trek 2009, finaly a Trek film that is better then Wrath of Khan! I have know seen everything Star Trek.

[RICHARD]

ETA: I still think Raise the Titanic was a good flic.
Further ETA: I think the last survivor of the Titanic died today. If IRC she was 2 months old when the Grand Lady sank.

R the T was the first Clive Cussler book I read.

Great storyline-all his books are great!

-----------------

I watched Falcon and the Snowman, interesting and true story.

Also

The Hammer- a good hokey comedy/boxing movie!

I laughed!

[carole]

Blue my hubby is a huge star trek fan, he also went and saw the movie, it came out here on his birthday, so you can guess what he got for a present can't you? he loved it, he is going to see Terminator salvation this weekend maybe, so hopefully he will enjoy that too.

[Zippy]

Pineapple Express-Stupid but did have some funny parts

Count of Monte Cristo-Still one of my favorite movies

Twilight-Great Movie,this is my like 6th time watching it

[blue]

The Last Samurai. Not a fan of Tom Cruise but this is an excelent flic.

"Harvey" a wonderful feel good movie starring Jimmy Stewart made in 1950. Recommended.

Stewart was one of my favorite stars and his best friend Henry Fonda is right there with him as another favorite.

I love the area around Cold Mountain. Pisgah National Forest was one of my all time favorite Mnt Bike destinations. The riding there was unreal. The Biltmore in Ashville is a must see if in the area. The Blue Ridge in that area is very beautiful. I lived in the Blue Ridge up in Virginia on 3 separate occasions but it can't compare to the area around Cold Mountain/Pisgah.

i had never seen the whole movie before, just the last 30 minutes, and when i saw the scene with the typist catching the names, just one small job being done well, and with concern by an anonymous typist....wow. the scene with the car making the long dusty drive past a iowa corn field, and the mother opening her front door....it made me weep. so when i understood what the 'steamboat willie' character stood for, i was amazed by the ...quality of the story and acting. my late almost father in law was a paratrooper, and while he was delighted to talk to me, someone new about his stories, there were times when his face closed off, and he went back. that movie should make you cry.

Benjamin Buttons. Forrest Gump in reverse. Yawn. 1 3/4 hours too long.

"New in town" Renee Zelleger, Harry Connick Jr. Funnah, I Haven't had
this good of a laugh in a while.

Netflix description below.

The weather isn't the only drastic change for high-paid consultant Lucy Hill (Renée Zellweger) when she's sent from her home base in South Beach, Fla., to a small Minnesota town to improve the productivity of a local manufacturing plant. The town's residents also take some getting used to, especially the ruggedly handsome union boss (Harry Connick Jr.) who's doing his darnedest to make sure that Lucy doesn't cut any jobs.

"He's Just Not That Into You"

My daughter and I watched this on PPV today. I was a little disappointed. With all of the big names in this movie, it just didn't keep my attention. There were too many twisted relationships and it was difficult to follow. A lot of it was old material redone too many times.

Howl's Moving Castle-LOVED IT.It reminded me of Spirited Away.

Atonement-Good but not great.

Breakfest Club-like atonement it was good but not great.

I can't believe I spent 10 minutes on Speed Racer. Who ever made that flick was on some drugs.

Harold and Kumar escape from Gitmo.

I stuck with it because TV is my only friend. I thought it would get funny.:rolleyes:
