movies you watched today

[.powerful]

I watched Free Willy last night. I've watched it so many times, but it is one of those movies that you can never get sick of. After I've had a really bad day I always turn on Free Willy. Do you guys have movies like that? Where they cheer you up no matter what happened?

Garden State does that for me. And, a few others, too...but, that one in particular is one I turn to.

I watched most of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night, i'm sick so i couldn't stay awake for all of it haha. I'm going to watch the rest today. I watched an hour of it and it was *so* good. Usually movie's based off books don't really compare to the books but I have to say the movie was much better than the book. If you haven't seen it, you should. It is awesome!

I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a few days ago. There was something about it that really creeped me out. I haven't read the book in a long time but I recall it being happy and the factory being so upbeat and magical but in the movie it was so dark and drim. Something about Willy Wonka really creeped me out.

That's funny that you remember the book like that, I always thought it was a tad dark...I guess it's definitely all about interpretation. That's why I was so stoked when I read that Burton was doing the movie, because I knew it would be more like the book, with a bit of a dark edge to it.

Everyone I talk to says it was dark but I never thought of it like that Then again its been a long time since I read it. I do think that the movie was very well done though. So many people are comparing Depp and Micheal jackson in that movie. I personally didn't see the resemblence at all.

[finn's mom]

I personally didn't see the resemblence at all.

I didn't either. He was pasty white with a high voice, but, that was it. I mean, in the book he's pasty white with a high voice. Ummm...maybe Michael Jackson was imitating Willy Wonka.

haha. Another thing I didn't really like about the movie was the five children.I never pictured them to look like that at all. Especially the one, I can't remember her name but the one that turned blue

I Saw Enron: The Smartest Men In the Room, yesterday. It was very good. It explained alot of what went wrong and who dropped the ball. It's based on a movie so I think I may buy the book.

[elizabethann]

Oops..I meant it's based on a book, so I might buy the book.

If you like blood and gore check out Devils Rejects or House of 1000 Corpses.

I just saw the movie "Smile". I thought it was really sad. Has anyone else seen it?

[carole]

I saw some of the movie THE LONGEST YARD, I fell asleep , not because it was so boring, but I was tired, it seemed quite funny in the beginning and my family were enjoying it,but I think I would have got a little bored in the end had I managed to stay awake,lol.

I watched Napoleon Dynamite last night. Had never seen it. Pretty funny. I liked Pedro the best. And, I also watched two thirds of one of my favorite movies, L.A. Confidential. That movie just rocks so hard, it's awesome. I had to leave, but, it was my friend's first time seeing it and he loved it. I mentioned this in the Harry Potter thread, too, but, i saw the new one the other night. Excellent. I want to go see so many new ones, but, Walk the Line comes to mind right now. Love Johnny Cash and June Carter.

[sirrahbed]

We went to see Walk the Line a few days ago and just loved it!!! Part way into the movie - I found that I forgot the actor was Joaquin Phoenix and just believed it was really Johnny Cash. I learned many things about June and Johnnny that I did not know - looked them up on the internet to see if they were accurate and they were Reece Witherspoon was just perfect as June. I also loved the Maybelle Carter portrayal. There were a couple songs I have never heard but enough of the old favorites to get my toes tapping

We plan to go see Rent next. Daughter Missy loves that musical and so we have heard many of the songs for years! She went to see the live production in Cincinnati a few years ago and says quite a few of the original cast members are in the movie.
