Anne of the Thousand Days w/Genevieve Bujold and Richard Burton. I wanted to compare their account of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn to other movies and books. Richard Burton made me laugh; he's so dramatic. He'd wrinkle up his nose as though he was going to sneeze and then he spit out his words as though they tasted bad. It was a stormy night, though, so it was a good pasttime.
I finally got around to renting and watching Balto today as I've never seen it. I loved it. :D :love:
I've seen tons of movies the past little while.. I got a part-time job back at my old work (theatre).
Get Smart - HILLARIOUS! Great movie and cast!
Love Guru - Absolutely lived up to my expectations.. so many funny bits. Might check it out again.
The Happening - I want the two hours of my life back. It was like they ran out of money for the movie and ended it right there. Total disappointment.
Iron Man - I LOVED this movie! The action and graphics were just wonderful. Great cast too.
Hulk - Another fantastic one. Once again, action and graphics were great.
What Happens in Vegas - Eh... predictable but alright.
You Don't Mess with the Zohan - FUNNY! Not classic Adam Sandler funny.. but highly entertaining!
I just got back from seeing "Wanted". It was pretty awesome, but also pretty stupid. I'm not going to give much away but it there was none stop action and gore. I love Angelina Jolie's driving :p It was pretty intense. As I said it was a little confusing at the beginning especially and the plot was stupid at some parts but overall it was good. 10/10 on the action/gore scale. ;)
Wedding Crashers. =)
"This is a real world lady! You just can't go on shooting people on a whim!"
haha..
I just finished watching Como Agua Por Chocolate. (Like Water For Chocolate)
I liked it a lot. Usually, when I like a movie, I have two reactions, I either watch it right over again, or I sit there and think about it. This one is the second. I knew nothing about it coming into it, my parents rented it and so I decided to watch it. My mom told me she originally got the book because she liked the cover, but it turned out to be one of the best books she had ever read.
It turned out to be very much like Romeo and Juliet at the end, which I wasn't expecting, but I should have guessed from the way they did the beginning.
If you've never heard of it, it's about Tita, a young woman living on a ranch in Mexico during the time of the revolution with her two sisters, mother, and maids. She is destined to never marry because she is the youngest daughter, she must take care of her mother for the rest of her life. Enter Pedro, it's love at first sight, but her mother will never allow it. I won't tell you any more since I don't want to give away the whole plot before you watch it.
Argh, I forgot that I watched Jersey Girl last night on TNT. I remember not being thrilled with it at all when I saw the trailer, but I was flipping channels and I caught the very beginning, so I watched, and I liked it.
Now I'm about to watch Firefly for the billionth time. :p I love it too much, it seems to just get better every time. Joss is Boss. :p
I watched Vantage Point last night. I thought it was a really good movie--I watched it with my mom though and she didn't like how it went back and forth so much..you know how it went to the beginning several times and showed what happened to each of the people..
I also saw 10,000 BC I loved it..it was a sweet/sad story.. I cried at the end...;)
I've been wanting to see 10,000 BC, I'm glad you liked it.
I saw Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E and Wanted recently..
Kung Fu Panda:
SO incredibly funny! I normally don't like animated movies but it was a good laugh!
Wall-E:
The movie was really cute.. very funny and a simple love story behind it too. :D
Wanted:
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! :D It's possibly my new favorite movie. Tons of action, awesome visual effects, gore and I actually really enjoyed the storyline.

I thought this movie was beautiful! Nice little warning for us, too, I thought. ;) It's amazing how they can animate a character like Wall-E and make him so endearing!Quote:

My co-worker said the series lasted one year. I never saw the series when it was on t.v.

So, I immediately went out and bought the DVDs and watched all of them in a weekend. It's the only tv series I've ever loved like that.
I forgot about this thread. I had my nieces up in Tahoe with me for a few days and we rented 5 movies!!:eek: Bruce was like....why do you go to Tahoe to sit inside and watch movies? Well, because we didn't know what else to do. LOL We didn't have money to do much more.
Anyway we watched:
27 Dresses
Definitely, Maybe
Fool's Gold
How She Move
10,000 BC
It was nice to be "home" where you can wear your pj's and pause it to go potty. :)
That night I watched Shindig. I wanted to see Mal duel, as I'm in fencing class now. :DQuote:

Now I have 4 Firefly/Serenity shirts, I'm wearing one today, actually. I love it when I see another Browncoat. :)
I used to watch Angel when it was on TV, I'm a little too young to have watched Buffy when it was on, I'm exactly 10 years younger than Buffy. I watched the first 2 seasons of it on hulu.com but that's all they had, so I'm waiting for blockbuster online to have season 3, disk 1 available.

I just saw Wall-E tonight. :) I smiled quite a lot during it. My name's Eva, so now I have people calling my name in that voice just to annoy me. :rolleyes:
I especially loved the credits, they were like the evolution of art. :D
I also got a free watch when I bought the ticket, and I needed a watch so I'm going to wear it.
I saw Hancock last night. It started off lacking something.. it was pretty boring in the beginning. But it quickly got better and I ended up really enjoying the movie overall. The ending is great :D
I just got back from the midnight screening of BATMAN!! :D It was AWESOME! I was blown away by everything! The action, the effects, the cast.. it was all great!
Saw Mama Mia the Movie last night! It is wonderful - the audience laughed all the way through and the bit just after the credits was worth the entrance feel alone ;)
"Youth Without Youth" written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It's deep. Gonna have to watch it again.
My brother and sister went to see that and they got home at around 3am. I wanted to go so bad, but I had work. But I'm glad everyone thought it was awesome! Can't wait to see it!Quote:

We hired the Dvd P.S I LOVE YOU, out on our wedding anniversary, i must say what a lovely film indeed, comical, sad, happy, cute, all in one, and girls there is some rather nice eye candy in it too, highly recommend, probably more a chick flick, but i saw hubby enjoying it and having a laugh or two.:D
Carol, I had to laugh at the term "hired" a DVD. I guess it's a cultural difference, what with you living on the other side of the world from me.
I just finished watching the first 4 episodes of Dexter, and I'm hooked. I love the photography and music, and the storyline is great. I'm putting the rest of the season on my Blockbuster queue.
Yep it must be lol, what do you say then? i assumed everyone hired out a DVD lol, yep we have a lot of different sayings in NZ,one is rattle your dags, it means to get a move on.:D
Last week we went to see Swing Vote, with Kevin Costner. Went with another couple and we all enjoyed it - lots of laughs.
Just now watched Steel Magnolias - I do love that movie.

oh well we use both those terms rent and hire,funny the difference in things isn't it? glad you think it is cute lol.;)
For those who enjoy political thrillers, be sure to see "Vantage Point". The President is assassinated while attending a summit conference in Spain. The movie shows the assassination from the point of view of several witnesses. Every time you think you have it figured out, you don't. Lots of twists and a major surprise!
I saw Pineapple Express recently. It was SO funny! However, if you go in expecting an Apatow classic, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's good, but no comparison to his other movies.
I also saw Tropic Thunder last week. It was highly entertaining and the cast was great!
I saw Clone Wars last night too.. I was really disappointed. It was cheesy. The storyline was dry. The movie was excruciatingly long.
Blow. I can't believe it's taken me this long to see this film. I love Johnny Depp, and I'd heard this was a great movie. Definitely true, it was very good.
Melissa went and saw the new batman The Dark Knight , she loved the movie, said it was the best movie she had ever seen, apparently her friends thought so as well.
I saw Blow some time ago and honestly it is an amazing film, i really enjoyed it too.
Shaun of the Dead.
God what a stupid, thoroughly enjoyable movie!
I hadn't laughed like that in ages!
It truly is!Quote:

A friend bought me series 2 of Dexter as an early Bday present, but i have not started on it yet as i have not finished Series 1 ;).
I watched the made for t.v. remake of the original movie "On the Beach" which was made in the late 50's. It's about the aftermath of a global nuclear war in which somebody "pushed THE button". Rather depressing since it shows what REALLY could happen, but very enlightening also. This should be on everyone's "must see" list - especially for those that still think that this will never happen.
I just saw PS I Love You. I really enjoyed it. It's nothing amazing or life altering, but I really loved it. :) Sweet and lovely. And, eye candy, woo! I love all the men in it, Gerard Butler, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Harry Connick Jr. Such sexiness, but all three in really different ways. Great music, too.
Isn't it just the sweetest movie ever, and like i said some really good eye candy in that movie for us women,plenty of sweet offerings lol, i also really loved it too.
Just watched St Trinnians, there were some funny bits in it for sure, but i got tired of it after a while, i did not see the end, bed seemed a much better place to be,i love colin firth though so was worth seeing my favourite hunk,i would not rate it very highly,but it was ok,just a tad over the top for my liking,but hubby and daughter seemed to enjoy it.:)I have to admit i am not easily entertained, and my attention span is limited unless it is a really good movie.
My daughter went and saw The Dark Knight a second time, so i guess this one rates extremely high with her, she still say's it is the best movie she has seen in a long time.
I went to the movies on Friday to see House Bunny. It wasn't that great, I didn't really like it as much as I usually like those movies. It was funny, but it wasn't the greatest movie.
I also saw The Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 a few months ago. Eh, it was okay. Again not that great.
THE DARK KNIGHT IS AMAZING! <333
I want to see that movie with Richard Gear, I forgot the name and it's going to annoy me forever. It's another love story but it looks so cute.
Recently I've seen:
Ghost Town - SO funny! Great story and wonderful choice in actors
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - I loved this movie! It was really cute and again, wonderful choice in actors
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Extremely funny movie!
Beverly Hills Chihuahua - Typical, predictable, but adorable! I took my younger siblings and they both enjoyed it a lot
Eagle Eye - Stupid, stupid movie.
Nights in Rodanthe - Like all of the other Nicholas Sparks book-turned-movies (A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, The Notebook).. I cried like a baby. :p
Lakeview Terrace - I got pretty into this movie but the ending was very quick and blah.
The Women - Eh... maybe if Sex and the City didn't just come out, it might have been okay.. but it feeled like they were trying too hard to be SatC
Disaster Movie - I can finally say I've walked out of a movie :p:rolleyes:
House Bunny - I loved it! It was so adorable.. I went back a couple times cause it was so good!
Yeah... I see a lot of movies LOL
