I got angry at myself because I rented " must love dogs" without reading the back. I assumed it would be about dogs. It's not.
:(
I hate myself..... :mad:
Really! I disliked the original and thought I wouldn't like the remake either but I loved it. Guess that's mostly down to 'my boy' (JD) though. :DQuote:

Thanks, I'm glad you thought my Dead Mans Chest review fitted what you thought too Aylssa. :) What didn't you understand about the ending though? I may - and I mean may because it is a bit puzzling - be able to explain.Quote:

Couple days ago I saw the movie Benchwamers. That movie was also funny, but it was more like a dumb funny. I still liked the movie a lot!
I went and saw Descent yesterday :eek:..it was good, i mean it wasnt terrifing, it had its moments though.. i think the small places the people were crawling through creeped me out the most honestly, im so claustrophoic, i seriously had a hard time breathing during a few of the scenes
I don't want to give anything about the movie away to anyone who didn't see it so I'll try not to use names. How did Captain B. Come back at the end when he was killed in the first one? That's what I don't get, it's way to confusing. POTC 2 was a great movie and all but it was rather confusing at the end.Quote:

EDITED: I also watched Scary Movie 3 2 days ago. It was very funny.
nothing today, but yesterday I watched Oliver Twist, because I saw the Movie Twist and its like this twisted version of Oliver twist so I wanted to see the real Oliver twist to compare it too, they kept the names and overall storyline, but Twist is more about Dodger then Oliver, and Oliver is a 17 year old orphan who ran away from his foster home and met Dodger who helped Oliver into his world of being a hustler, and both Dodger and Oliver are gay and Oliver likes Doger but Dodger hates Oliver, nancy gets killed by bill, Fagen kills himself for ratting on nancy, Dodgers brother visits, Dodger get uset and broken down, oliver was shut out the the person offering him a better life, Oliver makes a move on Dodger, Dodger beats Oliver up then kills Bill and there it ends lol but if you change the real Oliver twist to these details its actually follows the exact same storyline minus the happy ending and the workhouse boy beginning.
really? I actually liked this new one way better then the first one, Charlie and the chocolate factory actually explains WHY Willy Wonka is the way he is, and WHY he was locked away for 20 years, and he actually behaves like he has been in isolation, sure I miss the old oompaloompas but in the first one the loompas pretty much were the entire movie, and Wonka was just some random etcentric like any other, with no real reason for being like he was, and not really acting like he has been isolated, he was just, there. I found the end a bit cheesy, but overall I thought it was waaaaayy better made.Quote:

I think I've tried to answer this before, but I'll try again, even if it was directed towars Chris, I can't pass up anything that has to do with PotC!Quote:

The whole cliffhanger ending will probably be solved during the third movie. Earlier in the movie, when they first go visit Tia Dalma, you can see Barbossa's hat, and Jack is even 'playing' with it (examining it, obviously recognizing something). Then when Tia lets monkey Jack out of the cage, he runs and jumps on a pair of boots, and starts going all crazy, possibly noticing his 'master'. I hope that cleared it up a little. Maybe Chris can explain it better.
I watched V for Vendetta yesterday and I Looooooooooooooved it!! :)
Now I get it,Thank you, I never even noticed the hat and boots though, seriously, I guess I really paying attention then.Quote:

It really made me cringe the way this guy beat this girl over and over and the police never did anything. :eek:
I watched In Country last night, with Bruce Willis and Emily Lloyd. I had read the book a few times over the last couple of years, and was interested in what they did with the movie. It was ok i guess.... and i only paid $6 for it hehe.
I saw Taladega (I know I spelled that incorrectly) Nights, that was really funny. The children got on my nerves, but, I did laugh a lot, so, that's something. ;)
I saw that someone didn't like the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think any time you compare a remake to the "original", you will probably be disappointed, just because that's the one you saw first and if you loved it (which a lot of people did and a lot of people didn't...including the author, Roald Dahl - he hated it!), it's hard to accept a different version. But, just from reading the book first, the newer version is far truer to the author's vision. I didn't really care one way or the other for the added insight to Wonka's past, that's mostly filler from what I have heard, as the book is short. But, I think I actually enjoyed this version better. Johnny Depp is more like Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, and, I also liked that the newer version is more about Charlie than anyone else. And, he is, after all, the hero of the story.
Just as a disclaimer, though, I absolutely love both film versions. :)
Anybody remember Born Free? You young whipper snappers may not know of this movie. It's from the 60's. Well after many many years, I watched it again and it was AWESOME! It's one of the best movies ever. I just love Elsa.
I watched the "Princess Diaries 2" this morning. I never have seen it but in theaters, so I didn't really remember it. Cute movie but just a little to predictable. I LOVE Fat Louie. :D
I watched Bring It On -All Or Nothing, last night it was good. Tonight I'm seeing Bring It On (I never saw that one :o )
Sylvia
With Gwyneth Paltro as Sylvia Plath. About the marriage of poets Sylvia Plath and Edward Hughes.
Good movie. Haunting. It left me worrying for her children though. :(

Last night we watched "16 Blocks" with Bruce Willis. Took me awhile before I even recognized him. The movie was okay but nowhere near as good as the Diehard Trilogy.
We watched RV today. I liked it quite a bit. It seems sometimes I don't laugh as much as I would like, but there was no lack of it today. My whole family was together, including one set of grandparents, so it was just a good ol' time. :D
I saw Zoom Today, it was quite funny. I got confused for a little while, but at the ending it all made sense.
Oh, I hate the feeling when something doesn't make sense. My parents made me watch the new " bewitched" Which is VERY confusing if you're to young to have seen the TV show. :confused:
we bought "silent hill" today..so we'll be watching it later tonight :) We saw it in the theaters and loved it, so we just had to buy it :)
I want to see Silent Hill so bad! I am going to watch The Haunting tonight.Quote:

Logan
A few friends and i went to see Snakes On A Plane last night... what a hoot (I know it is not suppose to be a comedy). We had all been reading reviews on it and were eager to see it asap, we all loved it.
I cannot wait for it to be released to DVD :D. Anyone else seen it yet? what did you think?
Do TV shows count?
i watched a episode of Haunted lastnight before i went to bed.
Tonight I will probably watch a movie. I borrowed Wizard of OZ and Finding Neverland from a friend.
watched glory road yesterday
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
I only halfway watched it though. I was only watching it to get more screencaps.
The Ringer with Johnny Knoxville. Watched it at my friend's cabin. Hilarious movie. :D
I went to see "Accepted" today. It was pretty entertaining, something that I;'d reccomend for people to rent on a friday night.
Oh god, I LOVE that movie. It's one of my favorites, for sure.Quote:
Anybody remember Born Free?
I saw The New World lastnight with Colin Ferrel and a new actress. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's the story of Pochahontas redone and better. It's really artistic and the way John Smith and her run through the forest is beautiful. The change she goes through when she thinks he died and then re-marries and becomes "civelized" is really well done. It's more about her finding a new world than the explorers. I watched the extras and the actress who plays her was only 14 durring filming! (2004) that's as old as I was in 2004. :eek: They also filmed 10 miles away from the original Jamestown and built whole sets out of local materials and made them historically acurate. The native words they use are actually the correct words, and the man who plays the cheif is the actual present day cheif of the same tribe.
The other movie I now want to see is Master and Commander; The Far Side of the World. I'll review when I see it.
I went and saw "The Covenant" last night..it was actually an ok movie, some parts were a bit "eh" but it was alright..

Well, I didn't watch one today but last night I watched Just Like Heaven, Hitch, and Big Daddy.
I watched Scary Movie 4 a week ago, it was very funny! :D :p
There are so many that I want to see! But, we watched The Explorers the other night, I love that movie! It has River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke, it was one I grew up loving!
