I just watched the trailer for the latest Alice in Wonderland, and I can't wait. I'm surprised and super excited that it will be in IMAX and 3D. Whee!!!! Very cool that it actually seems that it's from the perspective of the Mad Hatter. Interesting! :)

Flyboys i really enjoyed this historical movie about a group of Americans that joined the French Lafayette Escadrille during WW1 before America got involved in the war. i guess you can say they were the Worlds first Fighter pilots.

The Mission w/my honey Jeremy Irons and Rober DeNiro. DeNiro was miscast. I have difficulty believing him in a role other than a gangster now; too many facial tics. Irons once agains saved the movie. Visually stunning, though, and a true story.

Taken with Liam Neeson ...... Action packed take no prisoners mindless fun... I enjoyed it a lot. If you enjoyed the Bourne Trilogy you will love this one too.

A former spy relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been kidnapped in Paris and forced into the high dollar slave trade.

Good flick saw it in the last couple of days, I agree if you like the Bourne movies you will likely enjoy Taken.

Rough Riders with Tom Berenger, Sam Elliott, Gary Busey 1997

This is a great made for television account of the story of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War. Tom Berenger did an outstand portrayal of Roosevelt. Highly recommend.

Music Within. True story of Richard Pimentel, a Viet Nam vet who lost his hearing in Nam and became the person responsible for pushing for equal rights for disabled Americans. Wonderful story and wonderful movie. Highly recommended.

The International very good movie. After our recent Bank bailouts it
drives home that The Banks own the world and feed on conflict.

I just saw a movie that rocked my world.

The Girl Next Door (2007) - It was based on a true story.
Evil that great cannot be made up. It was a brutal movie.
I am at a loss for words.:(:eek:

Hiroshima made-for-(Canadian)TV drama re-creates the events leading up to the Hiroshima bombing that ultimately ended World War II. This is a docu-drama looked at from both sides. Very well done and I believe accurate. Recommended.

Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon. The True HBO movie tells the story of Marine Lt Col Strobl's emotional experience traveling across America as a Volenteer escort officer for the body of Fallen 19 year old Marine Chance Phelps. This is an outstanding movie and I highly recommend. Beware LES

I think there was a remake of this movie called An American Crime on Showtime w/Ellen Page. If so, you're right, it was brutal and disturbing. No sleep for me that night.

I saw it twice on the nite it played.

I am still rocked. I just cannot imagine anyone being that effing mean and sick. I can watch horror movies until the cows come home? This really bothered me because it was a true story.:(:mad::eek:

Now I HAVE to read the book.....What a story.:eek::(

GI Joe. Not too bad! Pretty good for the type of movie. :) Good action, and it's fun. Not the greatest acting by any means, but it really isn't trying to be that kind of film anyway. ;)

Thirteen Days is a 2000 historical film about the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, seen from the perspective of the US political leadership.

I just watched Good Will Hunting and as much as I dislike Matt Damon (outside of the Bourne movies), this was an excelent picture.

Just got done watching the documentary portion of Iron Maiden Flight 666. I dont think there is any other band that loves their fans as much as Maiden does.

District 9 was pretty dang good. A little slw in some spots but for a good Sci Fi flick it delivered.

Duplicity I found the movie to uneven with to many plot twist. Maybe
I am just getting old but I had a very hard time following who was doing what to who. I can't recommend, but that is just my take.

I am not a fan of Rob Zombie and his music. The movie House of 1000 Corpses was about a B grade horror flic, I do like B grade movies though. He did do a decent job with the remake of Halloween.

Gonna take the thread to the documentary side?

HBO always has always had very good documentaries. Some are slanted a bit, but for the most part they very well done and always tell a story.

Just finished "Which Way Home", a film about the kids who ride trains from Central America and Mexico in order to come to the U.S.

Wow, a very powerful film.:(

I thought it was going to be an 'immigration' flick. It followed a handful of children on the trip. It was fricking crazy-those kids were incredibly tough.
