movies you watched today

I watched Sleepers (1996) An older movie, but one I had neither heard
of nor saw before. It was a quiet rainy afternoon & I thought I'd curl up
on the couch & fall asleep half way through, but no way. It was that good.
Great acting job by all.

Oh I LOVE that movie! Haven't seen it for a while, but I remember it well.

I went to see Failure to Launch over the weekend - very cute!

It is hubby's birthday this weekend on sunday, so Melissa is going to treat him to a movie outing, they are going to see the new Mission impossible, I think they will both enjoy it, me i could take it or leave it, so will let them have a daughter/daddy day instead.

I saw Stick It last night. It turned out to be better than I expected.. but still not worth the $10.95 I spent.

[carole]

Gosh that is pretty cheap, down under it will cost you 14 dollars for adults and 8.50 for children and around 12 for teenagers.

I ordered RENT on my tv today and just about bawled my eyes out toward the end, I actually started sobbing. I'm going to buy it on DVD, I loved it very much!

[cloverfdx]

I watched a couple of oldies last night, first up was Cool Runnings and i still enjoy it. And then i watched the first 15 minutes or so of "Indiana Jones and the last crusade" only because River Phoenix is in the beginning as young Indi lol . After that i snuggled up with the red dog and we watched "Dumb and Dumber" and yes it was as bad/ crap as i remember.

I watched Calendar Girls. What a wonderful movie about a wonderful thing! I'm thinking of ordering the new calendar for next year, as long as they are still making them.

I also watched Sweet and Low Down. I love Sean Penn, and, I adore this film. I may have mentioned in this thread already, but, I've watched it three times in the past two days. Not totally sitting down, watching, but, it's been on in my room while I pack. It's a fantastic movie.

Anybody seen The Libertine yet? How odd that I heard about that movie about a month or two ago, knew I had to see it, but, because it doesn't seem to be getting much publicity, I forgot about it. So, tonight...I'm watching Sweet and Low Down and decided to look the actress up. Her name's Samantha Morton. And, wouldn't you know? She's the actress in The Libertine! What a coincidence! Now, I **really** have to see that!

Kari, I wasn't able to see The Libertine because of a limited release, it wasn't shown at a cinema that I could get too. It had a limited release in the US too I believe.
I have finally got to see it though, on DVD. The US DVD release is July 4th.

It is not to everyone's taste that's for sure, given the darkness of the subject and being period costume and all, but I think it is an excellent film with superb acting from all concerned.
Sorry I can't give you a proper review, I am really bad at that sort of thing.

No, that's a great review! I love period pieces, and, I'm all over dark subjects. I'm fascinated by the movie, and, can't wait to see it. I can't believe I missed it, but, it probably didn't even get shown here in South Carolina. Dang it.

kari i Loved Calendar Girls, but then i love most british films, i believe Ladies in Lavendar is good too, have not seen it yet, must check out that film with Sean Penn in it, love him to bits.

Went and saw Shaggy Dog with Melissa for Mothers Day, a sweet, cutesy , funny family movie, i enjoyed it and i believe there was not one swear word in it, a nice refreshing change.

I loved Calendar Girls. I also like British films a lot. Haven't heard of Ladies in Lavendar, though...and, yeah, if you like Sean Penn, you must check out Sweet and Low Down, he's awesome in it.

I probably won't see The Shaggy Dog, but, I'm sure it's great. I loved the original. And, nah, you probably didn't hear any swear words, as it is a Disney movie as far as I know. Well, at least the original was.

[carole]

Hmm tell me Kari did i miss something, who is David? or is that another thread lol.

Yes Shaggy Dog was A disney production, i never knew there was a first one , I would not call it a great movie, but just pleasant and funny,a nice change from all the violence and crap we see on a day to day basis,just nice for a change, i have always loved Disney stuff, still puts out nice wholesome family stuff for all to see.

Ah, you noticed my ticker. Yeah, there is a thread about me moving to Texas somewhere in general...and, another one in dog general introducing everyone to dudley and freckles, david's dogs. finn and i are moving back to texas on thursday to be with david and his two dogs.

but, back to movies! I love Disney movies so much! And, actually they do put out some movies that aren't necessarily void of swear words. Two movies that come to mind are Miracle, the one about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team, and, National Treasure, a movie with Nicholas Cage. But, Disney is definitely known for wholesome movies. You really should check out the original Shaggy Dog, it's a great movie. Did you ever see Old Yeller? The same kid that plays the older brother in that movie plays the son in Shaggy Do. Or maybe he was the dog, hahahaha, it's been awhile.

I saw Just My Luck and Lucky Number Slevin this weekend. Lucky Number Slevin was AWESOME! Right up there with Sin City. Just My Luck was well.. what I expected. Not terribly bad but not that impressive.

[finn's mom]

Lucky Number Slevin was AWESOME! Right up there with Sin City. .

I hadn't even heard of this until yesterday, but, I loved Sin City! Gotta go see Lucky Number Slevin for sure, now!
