movies you watched today

Has anyone seen 'Unstoppable' yet? I REALLY want to see that.

I have not seen it yet, as it is not screening here just yet, however on another NZ Site someone did a review,they said it was awesome,must have got an illegal down load i guess,so it sounds a pretty good film.

I really want to see "How Do You Know" - one of the Chicago film critics said to ignore all the reviewers that didn't like it, and don't miss it. Also... the upcoming movie "Contagion" was filming along the Metra tracks in Western Springs, one town over from me and a LOT of people saw Matt Damon! How cool is that?!! (he's too young for me but he still makes me drool):D So- good old Western Springs had a brush with fame!

They were filming Contagion in the school my cousins go to in Wilmette!

I've mostly been re-watching things lately. I've watched Withnail & I again and some classic Doctor Who. Mostly Second Doctor and Fifth Doctor stories.

"True Grit" w/Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Hailee Steinfeld, who was really good, especially since she was playing w/the big boys. Josh Brolin had a bit part but as they say, "there are no small parts, only small actors". He worked it. Never cared much for Matt Damon but he did it. And, of course, Jeff Bridges really played the part. Well acted w/plenty of comedy and little violence. Go see it.

"Christmas Story" was an excellent Finnish movie, filmed in Lapland, about the origin of Saint Nikolas. This is a movie that I will be adding to my collection of Christmas movies. :)

I can't wait to see this. What a pairing!

saw "Good Will Hunting" again last night on cable ... that's a movie I just really like.

My sister received "Fargo" on DVD for Christmas, so we are going to have a William H. Macy film fest with that and "Pleasantville" after the holidays.

We watched The Sound of Music last evening. Love that movie :love:

Tombstone (1993)

I usually don't care for Cowboy movies but this one was very good and close to accurate. Recommend.
