movies you watched today

Went to see Pirates 2, Dead Mans Chest, last night and boy, what a rollercoaster ride!
It is a follow on story from the first certainly but beyond that is very different. Elizabeth's character is expanded (btw Kiara is fabulous) as are a few more of the orginal crew, Orlando's Will is still serious but has much more derring-do, Bill Nighy's Davy Jones is stunning and Jack Sparrow, well, Jack is... Jack!!

It is fast, funny, has bit's that make you go 'yuk' and is a wonderfully entertaining two hours of fun.

Chris, you described it just the way I thought of it. I just don't get the ending.

It was our wedding anniversary so we went to the movies and saw The Lake House,loved this movie, one of the nicest i have seen in a while,there was no swearing, violence or sex scenes that i remember, i know sounds boring, but actually it was not, a very tender lovely movie i thought and refreshing too,great fan of sandra bullock, and as usual she was great in it.

Hired out Derailed, well that was quite good, bit of a thriller and certainly a different role for Jennifer A,Also saw Just like Heaven, not too bad,light entertainment.

We recently saw The Wedding Singer. Yes, I know it's an 8 year old movie, but i hadn't seen it. Oh, what a nice movie; We thoroughly enjoyed it.

[carole]

I have watched the Wedding singer at least four times, and i hardly ever do that with any movies, it is such a neat movie and the combo of Drew and Adam is always great,have you seen them in fifty first dates, if you love the wedding singer you will also love this movie for sure.

Today i watch the Sister Act with Whoopie Goldberg. I love that movie its so funny. Also i like the second one of it.

[The Cat Factory]

The last movies I watched are Donnie Darko, Bubba Ho-Tep, Dungeons & Dragons, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back...I love all of those movies! I also bought Crash, and The Hills Have Eyes (1978), but I haven't gotten around to watching them yet.

Thanks, I'm glad you thought my Dead Mans Chest review fitted what you thought too Aylssa. What didn't you understand about the ending though? I may - and I mean may because it is a bit puzzling - be able to explain.

I watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby last night. That movie was super funny! I laughed out loud many times throughout it! If you like comedy, then I recommend this movie for you.

Couple days ago I saw the movie Benchwamers. That movie was also funny, but it was more like a dumb funny. I still liked the movie a lot!

[Danegirl2208]

I went and saw Descent yesterday ..it was good, i mean it wasnt terrifing, it had its moments though.. i think the small places the people were crawling through creeped me out the most honestly, im so claustrophoic, i seriously had a hard time breathing during a few of the scenes

I don't want to give anything about the movie away to anyone who didn't see it so I'll try not to use names. How did Captain B. Come back at the end when he was killed in the first one? That's what I don't get, it's way to confusing. POTC 2 was a great movie and all but it was rather confusing at the end.

I guess I didn't like "Charlie and the chocolate factory" because JD looked really bad in it, IMO. I didn't even know it was him when they first made the previews and all for it. I only like him as a Pirate and as himself. Also, I don't like how they changed the whole plot and all, with Willy Wonka's father and all. I liked the first one alot more.

EDITED: I also watched Scary Movie 3 2 days ago. It was very funny.

nothing today, but yesterday I watched Oliver Twist, because I saw the Movie Twist and its like this twisted version of Oliver twist so I wanted to see the real Oliver twist to compare it too, they kept the names and overall storyline, but Twist is more about Dodger then Oliver, and Oliver is a 17 year old orphan who ran away from his foster home and met Dodger who helped Oliver into his world of being a hustler, and both Dodger and Oliver are gay and Oliver likes Doger but Dodger hates Oliver, nancy gets killed by bill, Fagen kills himself for ratting on nancy, Dodgers brother visits, Dodger get uset and broken down, oliver was shut out the the person offering him a better life, Oliver makes a move on Dodger, Dodger beats Oliver up then kills Bill and there it ends lol but if you change the real Oliver twist to these details its actually follows the exact same storyline minus the happy ending and the workhouse boy beginning.

really? I actually liked this new one way better then the first one, Charlie and the chocolate factory actually explains WHY Willy Wonka is the way he is, and WHY he was locked away for 20 years, and he actually behaves like he has been in isolation, sure I miss the old oompaloompas but in the first one the loompas pretty much were the entire movie, and Wonka was just some random etcentric like any other, with no real reason for being like he was, and not really acting like he has been isolated, he was just, there. I found the end a bit cheesy, but overall I thought it was waaaaayy better made.

I think I've tried to answer this before, but I'll try again, even if it was directed towars Chris, I can't pass up anything that has to do with PotC!

*SPOILERS*


I think Captain B. came back because of something Tia Dalma did. Nobody knows for sure, but that is the most logical reason. The whole cliffhanger ending will probably be solved during the third movie. Earlier in the movie, when they first go visit Tia Dalma, you can see Barbossa's hat, and Jack is even 'playing' with it (examining it, obviously recognizing something). Then when Tia lets monkey Jack out of the cage, he runs and jumps on a pair of boots, and starts going all crazy, possibly noticing his 'master'. I hope that cleared it up a little. Maybe Chris can explain it better.
