That's incredible that it's the first time you've seen Johnny Depp. He's such a great actor and so diverse! I hope you'll take a chance on some of his other titles. There's something from every genre to choose from, or pretty close anyway! I am looking forward to seeing this newest one!Quote:

I have to laugh when folks go on and one about Michael Jackson and his music - have any of them ever heard of Richard Rodgers? He and Hammerstein (his 2nd partner) won 2 Pulitzer Prizes - along with numerous Academy Awards, Emmys, Tonys and Grammies.
The original "Taking of Pelham 123" with Walter Matthau & Ben Stiller. I'd recommend anyone wanting to see the new one coming out to watch this one first. Great movie!
I watched two Great Robert Redford movies. 3 days of the Condor
and The Horse Whisperer. I highly recommend both films.
"The Answer Man" w/Jeff Daniels. I loved it. There was even one scene that made me cry but I won't do a spoiler here. It hasn't been released in theaters yet. It was On Demand today and I took advantage of the $2 Tuesday deal while the concrete workers were here. Good flick.
Thanks for the review. We plan to see it when it comes out. Jeff Daniels lives in the next town over from us.Quote:

Hotel For Dogs made me get LES a couple of times. I had to keep reminding myself it's just a movie. But then I'd remember that this stuff really happens in real life. :( But it was a cute movie.
Trailer Park Boys the Movie/s were good, the Series is way better!!!
Canadians, does the CBC censor their TV shows, or are the TPB DVDs uncensored?
Have you seen "Knowing" w/Nicholas Cage? I watched in On Demand the other night. I turned it off. I could not believe how bad the script, the acting and the characters are. This new method of acting where everyone whispers and mumbles is getting on my last nerve. Actually, I guess it isn't new. It's more like the James Dean school of acting where everyone looks down and runs their hands through their hair. Speak up already! I probably could've overlooked it if the plot was any good but I just couldn't sit through another minute of that tripe.Quote:

I love this movie.
On the Recommendation of momcat I watched the original Taking of Pelham one two three. I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I have the new version on order from Netflix. Right now it is showing long wait. Hopefully It will be available soon.
The Quiet, with Camilla Belle.
It was kind of odd, but i've seen worse. Forgiveness & Irony. It could grow on me I'm sure if i were to watch it again, plus i am a fan of CB.
Devil in a Blue Dress With Denzel Washington. I liked this movie,
it could have been a pilot for a great TV series.
Thanks for the warning....I will spend my money elsewhere:DQuote:

Taking Chance.
I cant imagine a harder duty for any of our armed service members then escorting a fallen Soldier or Marine home to rest. This movie does a very good job portraying how we honor our fallen warriors on their final trip home.
From 1980 - Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
Wonderful movie.
FThat is my favorite movie, period.Quote:

Did you know they have an Annual Somewhere in Time Festival at the Grand Hotel.
Yes, I do know about that. I live in Michigan, not near Mackinac Island, but have been there.Quote:

I have! I actually liked it until the last 10 minutes LOL! It was complete junk but it kept me entertained for the most part :pQuote:

Grey Gardens was a very compelling movie and the acting and

My daughter and her boyfriend went and saw The Proposal, they really enjoyed it, so hubby and I are going to see it this weekend, give you my opinion then.:)
Gran Torino.
I read some of the other comments in this thread about the film, and I didn't find it depressing in the slightest. It was intense and definitely gets through to deep parts of your soul. Definitely has it's sad parts, but overall I felt the message was one of hope and love and friendship and forgiveness. Brilliant movie. Clint Eastwood is a top notch class act, through and through.
I've recently seen "What Happens in Vegas". I don't usually like Cameron Diaz, but have to say that I enjoyed this one.
The Butterfly Effect
It's really different. It shows how events effect lives. I was impressed with the way the sequences were shot.
Eagle Eye with Shia Lebouef (?) - this kid should stick to more not-so-serious roles. 1.5 stars?
The butterfly effect is an awesome movie, apparently butterfly effect 2 was not very good though, just going by word of mouth.
The Man Without a Face with Mel Gibson, Nick Stahl. Excellent
movie. Directed by Gibson also.
I watched Grey Gardens the movie, I am just starting the documentary.
All I can say right now, 10 minutes into the documentary, is Drew and Jessica Lang did phenomenal jobs as Little and Big Edith's.
They really did, didn't they? I compared a particular clip of Lang w/Big Edith and I could hardly tell the difference. They both did remarkable portrayals.Quote:

i went with a group of girls last night to see the ugly truth. it was funny and cute, definitely a fluff movie. no real deep substance or incredible moments. but it was funny. it's pretty vulgar, so keep that in mind if you're easily offended. :) i enjoyed it, but nothing i'd write home to mom about.
i also saw public enemies last week. great movie, not the best ever. not my favorite johnny depp film ever, but still really good!
Watched Righteous Kill last night. It got panned by critics, but it was really a good movie (The sex scenes were needless, but such is life)
Deniro and Pacino carried the movie, but they did it very, very well. What other actors could pull off calling Underdog a druggie?
"Damage" w/Jeremy Irons. I'll watch ANYTHING he's in. He's my favorite actor of all time plus he's easy on the eyes and he lives in a 14th century castle in England. C'mon! W/that velvety voice he could talk me into anything. ;) Anyhow...this movie is appropriately named. All the people in it are damaged and the course that Irons takes in the movie causes so much irreparable damage that at times the movie is difficult to watch. It's like flying over or driving through a scene where a natural disaster just occurred. The damage is indescribable. A must see.
I finally saw SAW! Four stars~
THAT was a pretty good movie. I love horror movies and this one was very good. A little gory, but if you remember it's just a movie.....
I saw some others but I can't remember what they are!:eek:
-------------
What is it with Depp and the makeup?
He's a fairly decent actor, but the parts that he does with the makeup weird me out.
The 'Mad Hatter' makeup makes me want to pass over THAT movie. I saw pics of that and it didn't make sense at all. It's probably my desire to avoid clowns and stuff like that.
It's not just Depp either, I hated the "Cat in the Hat" and wanted to neuter Mike Myers so he wouldn't make another CITH movie.;)
--------------
Pollock- Four stars! The story of Jackson Pollock the painter. Ed Harris is a great actor. A good story!
I re-watched a movie I had seen back in the 70's when it came out. Tora! Tora! Tora! is an excellent movie that i recommend. I was very uneasy watching the movie this time because of the US's total ineptness in allowing Japan to sneak up on us and all the missed communications leading up to the attack. It was like Déjà Vu of 911. The thing that bothed me most is to speculate on all the missed queues we will hear about when that next big attack occurs. it will probably be attributable to political correctness.
Tim Burton has a lot to do with Johnny Depp and makeup. ;) Burton's movies are really over the top like that, a lot of the time. I'm personally really excited about the latest version of Alice and Wonderland. ;) It's one of my favorite stories and the books are really trippy, so it's one story I don't mind seeing from many perspectives!Quote:
