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

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!

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.

Now I get it,Thank you, I never even noticed the hat and boots though, seriously, I guess I really paying attention then.

The Burning Bed with Farrah Fawcett.
It's based on a true story about
domestic physical abuse.
It really made me cringe the way this guy beat this girl over and over and the police never did anything.

I watched In Country last night, with Bruce Willis and Emily Lloyd. I had read the book a few times over the last couple of years, and was interested in what they did with the movie. It was ok i guess.... and i only paid $6 for it hehe.

I saw Taladega (I know I spelled that incorrectly) Nights, that was really funny. The children got on my nerves, but, I did laugh a lot, so, that's something.

I saw that someone didn't like the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think any time you compare a remake to the "original", you will probably be disappointed, just because that's the one you saw first and if you loved it (which a lot of people did and a lot of people didn't...including the author, Roald Dahl - he hated it!), it's hard to accept a different version. But, just from reading the book first, the newer version is far truer to the author's vision. I didn't really care one way or the other for the added insight to Wonka's past, that's mostly filler from what I have heard, as the book is short. But, I think I actually enjoyed this version better. Johnny Depp is more like Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, and, I also liked that the newer version is more about Charlie than anyone else. And, he is, after all, the hero of the story.

Just as a disclaimer, though, I absolutely love both film versions.

I hate movies.

Usually..


But the other day
I watched Space Buddies
it was so sad and funny at the same time
my favorite character was Budderball.

I love any movie
about dogs
and I give it a 100star. That's the only movie I'll watch 3 times in one day.

Last weekend I watched "The Blob"... the original from 1958 with a very young Steve McQueen! Loved it yet again.

Last night we watched "American Gangster". Great movie

[RICHARD]

Hellboy II was really good.



WHat was the big deal about Dark Knight?

THat movie really sucked. Heath Ledger was really ill in this movie-No wonder he killed himself-that was a totally effed up character he played and anyone could see that he was on his way to trouble.

I didn't see anything good about it and the people who praised HL for playing such a 'dark' role should kick themselves into a coma for thinking it was a good 'acting' job.

Sheesh.

Just got home from seeing The International. Really good movie.

Did you ever wonder who owns the U.S. national debt? This movie will make you ask that question.
