last night I watched Mean Girls.. it wasn't as bad as I thought It'd be since Lindsay Lohan is in it and I can't stand her or her acting. Tonight we're going to watch Sisterhood ( I LOVED the books but have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed in the movie... )
I watched the extended version of the Fellowship of the Ring with some friends today for the millionth time!! lol:D;) I just love Lord of the Rings!!;)
I saw Jarhead tonight. I thought it was excellent. Not a typical war movie, but, really well acted and beautifully filmed. I didn't expect anything less out of Sam Mendes, though...American Beauty still knocks my socks off. Jake Gyllenhall (I really need to look up how to spell his name) is so good looking, it's sick in this movie. You see a lot of his skin, which I wasn't expecting at all. There's a scene in the movie with a horse, that is just so beautiful and sad...good movie.
Gyllenhaal...two l's and two a's...gotta remember that. ;)
I watched War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning. Excellent movie. I enjoyed it very much.
Haha, I just watched that, too! :p:D:D I agree, awesome movie! Dakota was really good in it:)Quote:

Yeah, I'll be going to see it, I'll see most anything with Steve Martin. ;) I hadn't heard that it was a lot like Lost in Translation, though...hmmm....Quote:

So, that at least sounds like it's not going to end like almost every other romantic comedy. and, don't get me wrong, I'm as big a sap as any when it comes to Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, but, as much as I love those movies, they're all really predictable.
Anywho....I may wait to see it on video, if I can't get someone to go with me. I really want to see that Goodbye and Good luck or something like that...and, that new one Syrian. George Clooney is just really beginning to pique my interest. :) Not to mention, he's pretty sexy. ;)
"Being Julia"
Really good movie. Annette Bening is wonderful as usual and I loved the ending!
Kari I don't think SHOPGIRL is like Lost in Translation, but it said in the review I read in our local paper if you loved that movie , you will love this one, so you are bound to like it for sure.

My Mum and i watched "Hide and Seek" with Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning last night. I thought it was a bit lame, and just a little bit predictable.
After that i also watched half of "Running on empty" River Phoenix, Martha Plimptom (Cannot stand her). I have enjoyed it so far and will hopefully get to sit down and watch the rest after dinner.
I finally got to watch the end of "Running on empty", River Phoenix did a wonderful job as always, i got a bit teary right at the end :o.
My husband rented Polar Express last night, but I didn't get home until late so I didn't get to watch it yet. Hopefully we'll watch it tonight! I've been wanting to see that one.
It's a really fun movie!Quote:

PAPER CLIPS.
If you see ONE documentary, make it THIS one.
At one point some one mentions that you will "never look at a paperclip the same again..."

My friend and I watched Secretary tonight...very darkly comedic, sexy, coming of age/love story. It's one of my very favorites.
DBF and I just finished watching The Longest Yard. It's strange...I'm not a big Adam Sandler fan, and I don't care for football, but I love this movie. :)
Is anyone going to see King Kong and the Chronicles of Narnia when it comes out, all produced by our very own talented Peter Jackson and another NZ producer,can't remember his name offhand,and some of it if not all shot in beautiful lil Aotearoa-NZ? :)
Yes I want to see that one :)Quote:

I'm nervous about that one...the previews look wonderful, but, I don't know...for some reason, I'm just skeptical. I will see it in the theater, though, I wouldn't want to wait for DVD for either of those.
I really hope king kong is a hit for peter Jackson, as he has always wanted to do it, i think they would be a must to see on the big screen , especially king kong.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Fun movie with some beautiful people :p
Sat down to watch BE COOL, with Johnny Travolta one of my fav actor, but i was so disappointed, i found this really boring, did not even watch more than half of it,did not excite me one little bit.
I haven't seen it, but, I've heard it's not that great. I loved Get Shorty, though, so, I was bummed when I heard the newer one wasn't good.Quote:

I never did see the first one, maybe that would have made it a bit more interesting, but somehow i doubt it, just not my kind of movie really.
My son even found it boring and he and I like completely different types of movies, personally i would not waste my time hiring it out. ;)
Anyone into Lifetime movies? There was a cute one on yesterday...called Where the Heart is or something like that, with Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd. I like a lot of lifetime movies, but I don't really get to watch them all that often.
I watch quite a few of the Lifetime movies. I think I have seen the one you are talking about. I really like Ashley Judd. The Hallmark channel has had some real cute Christmas movies on. :)

I missed the beginning, but I started watching it when I saw that it was Natalie Portman. I just think she is so cute :) and she looked so cute pregnant.
I like the Hallmark channel too, but the cable company just changed our channels around, and I don't think we get that one anymore :( either that or I just can't find it yet...
Can hardly wait to see DEAD MANS CHEST, hope I got that right for once, with none other than the wonderful Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) we have to wait until July next year, that is way way way tooo......long. :(
Carole, have you seen the trailer yet?Quote:
