I've been wanting to hear a review...it kinda looked lame in the trailer. Those comic book films are so hit and miss, it's hard to tell.Quote:

I watched Batman (the first one) tonight. Man, I love that movie! :)
Just saw the The Machinist... and both me and my partner enjoyed the movie, but in the end felt it a bit TOO weird! And that's from 2 people that loved weird movies!
Can I just ask... has anyone seen Dead Birds? Loved it - loved it - loved it!!! Haven't been that scared from a film since I was 14, and saw Pet Cemetary!

We watched Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy with Will Ferrell and I have to say it really wasn't all that good. I expected it to be a little funnier than it was.
There were some good parts but mostly it was just stupid (and I even like stupid movies!).
My brother saw the Machinist, and, I want to. I've heard mixed reviews, but, I still plan to see it.Quote:

I haven't seen Dead Birds, I need to tell my brother about it, he loves scary movies!
I watched Lilo & Stitch today, very cute movie. ;)
Dead Bird is one of the strangest film I've ever seen (and VERY scary!!!)... It's a western, well, that's what you kind of believe in the begining anyway, which then turns into a suspence film, and from there turns into horror!Quote:

It's VERY low budget, but it's all in the way they use the music, and it's really, really scary! If anyone has any plans on seeing it: Do NOT see it alone, but DO see it in the dark!!!

Here are some press reviews of Fantastic FourQuote:

Last night I watched "The Big Chill".
One of my all time favorites. Great movie and great soundtrack!
I saw Wedding Crashers last night. Oh gosh.. it was HILLARIOUS! I'm definitely seeing it again. :D
I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory after summer school yesterday, it was funny. See my sig for my all time favorite quote that I agree with 100%!
Ok, well, I posted in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory thread, already. :) It was so much fun! YAY!
I also saw War of the Worlds. I was so surprised at how much I liked it. It was intense, and, I thought the ending was really good. It wouldn't have been appropriate in that film to go out with a bang, I don't think. I was pretty scared in some parts, actually, although overall my feeling was one of urgency, like, geez, hurry! ;) Good movie, though. Dakota Fanning annoyed me in parts, but, not any moreso than an actual child her age. Sorry if that offends anyone, she did a great job acting, though. I thought the actor playing Tom Cruise's son was hot. He's probably barely legal, I should wash my mouth out with soap for even saying that. ;)
Another movie preview I saw last night is a Disney live action movie about a golfer. It's called the greatest game ever played. and, it has that adorable boy from the disney show "even stevens", he has an odd name, I can't remember it. He was in that crap piece of a movie, Charlie's Angels 3. Ugh. But, he's so cute, here I go again. Washing my mouth out. :) It looks good, though!
Wow, what a great animated film! I laughed a lot, and, just really enjoyed the movie. I came home last night after a long, hideous day, and, was trying to figure out if I was going to watch Garden State or The Incredibles. I'd never seen the Incredibles, so, I finally decided on that. The only thing that would have made it better was if it had been in widescreen. I borrowed the dvd from someone and it was the fullscreen version, which bugs me. But, it was still a great movie. I highly recommend it.
I watched 'Hide & Seek' the other night. Wow that was a weird one. I loved it, and did not guess the ending. I like those psychological thrillers with twists.
I watched 'Finding Neverland' and 'Arizona Dream' last week, 'What's eating Gilbert Grape' on Wednesday, 'From Hell' last night and 'Astronaut's Wife' this afternoon. :)
(Added to the others I've seen I think might be about a quarter way through the Johnny Depp films now :D)
Awesome, what did you think of them? I've seen those except Arizona Dream and Astronaut's Wife......were those any good?Quote:

Arizona Dream was ok ... just an aside, I love it when there are extra/bonus features on a DVD, in this case a long interview with Johnny about the film, which I think I enjoyed more.:D
I really enjoyed Astronauts Wife. Even though the story/theme isn't a new one I found it to be well paced and intriguing enough to keep me in my seat and interested. :)
But maybe you shouldn't take any notice of my opinions, the ones I have liked the best, The Brave, Secret Window, Don Juan de Marco have mostly had bad to lukewarm reviews. :D
I love extras on DVDs, especially bloopers/outtakes and interviews. I'll have to watch those two movies....and, as for the other three you mentioned, I've actually only ever seen Secret Window. I liked it, but, thought the ending was hokey. It almost ruined the whole film for me, I was disappointed. I had made that list of Depp films, and, put that I loved Don Juan de Marco, and, I don't know why. I've never seen it, but, I think I'll like it. I must have just been just so used to typing "loved it" when I did that list. ;)Quote:

I haven't watched any movies today, but a few days ago, we went and saw "Batman Begins"...it was really good, I really enjoyed it!!:)
I saw The Island the other day. It was okay.. not too exciting. A bit gross at times.
I'm gonna watch Stealth, Must Love Dogs and Sky High this week. Can't wait!
A movie I enjoyed was ANGEL EYES, with Jennifer Lopez, unlike most people I like Jennifer's acting, I had taped this on video ages ago and the tape ran out, so I missed the ending, so it was good to see it finally after like a year lol.
My all time favourite was the THORN BIRDS as I am a great Richard Chamberlain fan, I am going to hire it out this week, I have seen it like three times, and I am a person who hates to watch a movie more than once usually, but I can see this one over and over again.
I went and saw the movie ARE WE THERE YET with Melissa, it was a Home alone type movie, but with a different storyline competely, it was quite enjoyable, a little over the top, but had some good comedy lines and some sweet bits in it.
I love that mini-series! Have you ever seen Somewhere in Time with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve? If you haven't, you should!Quote:

I watched I am Sam tonight with my parents. What a sweet movie. There were parts that brought tears to my eyes, I just think Sean Penn is awesome.
I watched Garden State with my mother today. I said this in my livejournal already, but, I would do just about anything to bottle the feeling I get when I watch that movie. It just fills me to the brim, and, I love it. It's definitely one of my favorites of all time.
Today I watched Cellular, it was a VERY good movie! I personally loved it. Action and kind of suspense. I recommend it to anybody! :)
No Kari I have not seen that movie, but will add it to the list, I am sam is when I fell in love with Sean Penn as an actor, before that I never really knew who he was much except he was once married to Madonna, after that movie I try and see every movie he is in because he is awesome, he deserved an award for that role, cannot remember if he got one or not?
I liked Mystic River as well.;)
I just got through watching SEX TRAFFIC a two part series on the TV, it was very good, sad though, about illegal trafficking of women in sarajevo, not sure if it was based on true story or not, if so it was terrible, these poor women were treated so bad it was disgusting.
OH. MY. GOSH. Carole, you absolutely must see Somewhere in Time! My mother loves that movie and The Thornbirds. I think it's nearly impossible to like one and not the other. ;)Quote:

I can't remember when I really started liking Sean Penn. It's been before I am Sam, though, I k now that much. I really liked him in Hurly Burly and Sweet and Lowdown, those are two off the top of my head. And, Mystic River was a great, disturbing movie. He was incredible.
Sean and Johnny Depp are my all time favs, I just watched Secret Window in the weekend for the second time, just to see Johnny.:D
I will see if my son can get the movie for me this week when he goes back to work.:)
If you get to watch it, let me know what you think. It's super sap, but, I love it!Quote:

I love super sap , so should like it I think.:D
I recently watched Million Dollar Baby .
Excellent movie. I love all the actors in this movie and thought they all did a remarkable job. I didn't have a clue about what happened in the movie and I found out that it was a huge tearjerker! I bawled like a baby;). I must have been due for a good cry because I just couldn't shut off the waterworks...lol.
I was doing a search for something, and, saw that you said this. I loved this film. I saw it the day it won the Oscar for best picture. I'm not the biggest fan of Hilary Swank, but, man...she was fantastic in this. And, I think it's one of the best performances I've ever seen by Clint Eastwood. And, Morgan Freeman, too. Excellent movie...I think I read somewhere that they only actually filmed for a few days...I can't remember how many, though, but, it was not more than a month, which is crazy!Quote:

Alas Kari my son was unable to get any of the movies, they did not have them, slack I reckon, and Thorn Birds was out, still I will try again for that one.
The Horse Whisperer was one I really enjoyed, I am a big fan of Robert Redford, saw it first on big screen and twice on TV.
Today I watched:
Big Fish *tear*
Life Is Ruff
Disney Movie
The Notebook *another tear*
Little Black Book
Kind of a dissapointment, I expected more from the previews and that it!
I watched:
Raise Your Voice, which is actually a good movie!
Balto #3, I was watching my little sisters, *YAWN* What can I say?
Steph and Jes
"Must Love Dogs" and "Message in a Bottle"
The Gladiator-Sad :( But cool:D
My mom and I went to see The March of the Penguins...it was wonderful! Definitely a must see...it was so beautiful.
Oh, and, I saw Wedding Crashers the other night, too. I thought I'd posted about it, but, i guess not. Anyway, it was really funny. Very raunchy, and, the characters were very stereotypical and predictable...but, I liked it a lot. Fun concept.
I loved the dinner table scene. LMAO. :DQuote:

I'm going to see a screening of Deuce Bigalow at work in a little bit. Can't wait!
Just got back. It was hillarious! Loved it!
"Guess Who"
I thought it was cute. Got a few giggles out of it. Hubby thought it got a bit too mushy.
I watched "A dog of flanders" last night, sweet little movie, i think i may have to buy my own copy.
