I heard it was really bad to, I was so excited to see it because I love the original one. Re-makes are never good. I heard the plot is completely different from the original one as well.Quote:

definitely not sitting through that sucker ever again.
My wife and I bought tickets yesterday to see WOLFMAN, but daughter No.3 decides to have a huge argument with the boyfriend.......a 17 year olds argument........so we stayed home so that we could cart tissues backwards and forwards thru the house.
Anyone want 2 free tickets to yesterdays 8.30pm session ????

Add me to the list of Avitar fans!!! I will admit that the plot is nothing new but the way it was presented was beautiful in my opnion. The visuals are spectacular! I love love love this movie!
Edited to add: I am a huge sci-fi film nut though. I even like that old black and white movie where the gigantic brain creatures try to eat people and one of the characters goes after the creatures with an axe...anyone know the name of it? Is Avitar the BEST sci fi film ever? No, I don't think so but it ranks up there for me.
I also like protagonist assemilates into alien culture because he finds them less objectionable than his own culture stories...even in books ;). Yay for plot devices!
Amazing Grace 2006..... Behind the song you love is a story you will never forget.
The idealist William Wilberforce maneuvers his way through Parliament, endeavoring to end the British transatlantic slave trade. This is an amazing film that I highly recommend. Beware LES content
Is that the very same Grace we have here on this forum ???:DQuote:

I just watched Finding Nemo again...I forgot how much I loved that movie...and it is soooo colorful!
My daughter and her young man went to see shutter Island, they both enjoyed it very much.
I watched the 1948 movie Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Very funny, the ending was the best part. An oldie but a goody for sure. :D
I watched Old Yeller lastnight. Even though I know what's gonna happen I still cry when he has to shoot him.
Tonight my little brother wants me to watch a scary movie w/ him...I think we're gonna watch A Nightmare on Elm Street :D

Long Way Round is a movie documenting the 19,000-mile (31,000 km) journey of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman from London to New York on motorcycles. They travelled eastwards through Europe, Russia,Mongolia, and Siberia then flew to Alaska and continued by road from there to New York.
I have only watched the first DVD with 3 more to watch. This is a once in a life time undertaking for both men. I wish i had the resources to pull off this type
of adventure.
A few nights ago we watched "Inglorious Bastards". Great movie and Brad Pitt was excellent!
I watched an oldie last night "The Edge" with Anthony Hopkins.
I love the way the bear eats that first guy.
My daughter put her head under the blanket at that scene.
She is definately no fun to watch movies with.
That was horrible...that movie ruined camping in the woods for me.
Well it shouldn't have !!! I think that movie sort of taught people how to fight back.Quote:

I watched Forrest Gump today :love:
I love that show. That and "The big Lebowski"......I watch them all the time.
went to the cinema yesterday and saw Valentines Day, i enjoyed it, so did hubby,was predictable but cute and funny, and good cast of actors in it, yep did not mind paying $30 bucks to watch it.
I watched Whip It on the plane last week. I liked it a lot. :) Since then I've just watched one classic Doctor Who story and that's it for tv or movies. I got a new audiobook though.
"9" - Uh yeah.
Ran it and walked out of the room multiple times.
Gamer - that was a turd someone polished.
Paul Blart/Mall cop - bearable....just barely. I love slapstick, so that saved it for me.:eek:
---------------------
I passed by the Academy Awards preshow.
I am still laughing about the security concerns they have surrounding thw show.
LOLm
Bin Laden is plotting an attack on James Cameron....he want to put him in the hurt locker?:rolleyes:
Alice in Wonderland. I loved it! Makes me want to read the books again!
Alice in Wonderland - I saw it this Saturday. I was expecting an epic fail of a movie, but no, I got the complete opposite. It was actually a very good movie. Johnny Depp made it all the more better. ;) To be honest with you, everything he did I thought "he did that in Pirates of the caribbean" or "Oh that'/s how he walked in potc". I'm weird, but either way I though Alice in Wonderland was great, definitely worth watching. :)
please don't think I'm trying to be a smarta**, but what made you think it would be so horrible? Are you not a Tim Burton fan? Not an Alice in Wonderland fan? And, again, I'm genuinely curious, why would you go to a movie if you expected it to suck?! ;)Quote:

Inglorious Bastards- was that a mess. (I won't even spell the title 'correctly')
LOL, I guess that if you make one good movie you can use your name to finance any old POS that passes for a screenplay.
Seriously?
I would buy the DVD just to take it out of the package to use as a frisbee.
How long was it until Helena Bonham Carter appeared on the screen? always a fun game with a Tim Burton film......Quote:

I watched Alice in Wonderland myself this weekend. I was not thrilled, although the special effects were great. I am just NOT an Alice fan to begin with, so when this one came out, with it Johnny Depp (who I do adore), but looking so weird, I was just not thrilled about going to see it. Dave's kids were all for seeing it, and they loved it, but me, eh..... I could have lived with out it.
I wanted to see Valentine's Day. That's more my speed, and it wasn't Rated R, so the kids could have seen it too (the one girl did want to see it, but wanted to watch Alice more... and her dad didn't want them in the theatre all by themselves, so we all went to the same movie).
Jesus Christ Superstar w/Ted Neeley, Yvonne Elliman and Carl Anderson. I saw Neeley's performance this past Saturday in Cleveland for his farewell tour. The man is more powerful now than he was when the movie was made in '72. Not too many singers move me but he did and he brought me to tears. His scene in the temple when Jesus threw out the money changers brought down the house, also his scene in the Garden of Gethsemane. He's 67 now and he still sings as though he's 28. Powerful, powerful man.
Well, considering what I had heard from some friends who saw it the first night said it royally sucked, I was expecting it to. I was a fan of the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland when I was little, and although I haven't seen it in YEARS and know it was based off completely different books, I didn't think it would live up to that one. I wanted to see it for myself, and get to judge it on my own rather then listen to people. Why did I go? Well, I just wanted to see if it was as good as the disney version, 'cause to me that was a great movie. But I generally see movies which I expect to suck, becauseQuote:

3.) Maybe it won't be as bad as I think lol
Tim Burton, well he definitely is not my favorite director. I didn't like some of his movies - especially Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also thought Corpse Bride was really dumb, and Batman forever sucked. James and the Giant peach, well no comment. :o I loved Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands to. Alice in Wonderland was good as well, and so was Batman (original) and Batman returns. It seems weird how I love all his films that star Johnny Depp, that's the only reason I watch tb movies mostly. So, I guess you could say I don't 'love' Tim Burton either. I have never seen his "masterpiece" as a lot of people call it - The Nightmare Before Christmas. I think I would like it though.
Sorry, I made this explaination waayyyyyyy too long xD
I LOVED Valentine's Day, I saw it on Friday. I thought it was so cute. It was unessicarily long though. Bradely Cooper was so cute in it, especially at the end. But overall, a very cute movie.Quote:

Johnny plays the Mad Hatter magnificently. I did notice a couple traces of Jack and one of Sweeney in there but other than that he has made a wonderful new characterisation for us.
I thought Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter(Red Queen) and Crispin Glover (Knave of Hearts) played their roles with equal excellence but was a little disappointed with Anne Hathaway's performance as the White Queen.
It was the first time I had viewed a film in 3D and that part wasn't quite as good as I had expected, but, having said that, it still added to the enjoyment for me. Will I go to see it again? Oh, yes, if I get the chance and can afford it.
For anyone who didn't quite understand some of the language used and would like to there is a glossary here and a link to the complete Jabberwocky poem here
My Melissa saw it in 3D too and really enjoyed it, she thought J Depp was fantastic in his role, but then he always is really isn't he? well for the most part anyhow.
