movies you watched today

[wombat2u2004]

I just finished watching Avatar. Not exactly the type of movie I would normally watch, but it was good. The special effects were amazing, but overall, it could have been at least a half hour shorter and not have lost anything in the translation. Just too long. That said - I'm off to bed!

I watched that a couple of nights ago....not a bad show really. But yeah, it did go on a little long.

yes funny you both should say that, because that is what everyone has said about it, too long, did you know most of the special effects were done by Weta Digital From Wellington NZ,I think they won a BAFTA award too.

I have just finished watching The lovely Bones, by our Peter Jackson, it was good, i read the book first, and the movie lived up to the book IMO, I commented on the special effects being really good to my husband, and saw in the credits, done by none other than our Weta Digital again,yep they are very good at what they do,they have done us proud.

Parts of the film were also shot in Wellington NZ.

And word of warning Wombat you are not stealing them and making them your's ok got that. lol

Dirty Dancing.

One of my all time favorites!

I've got the book written by Patrick and his wife - "The Time of My Life", but I have yet to start it. It sits with another "to read" book on my desk. I've got to get back to reading!!!

Finally The Blindside arrived down under on thursday, so hubby and i have just seen it this sunday, it was great, loved it, and Sandra, well what can I say , you did it proud, you are awesome, i so love that girl, she always looks gorgeous and especially so in this movie, very touching movie, and so well acted,8/10.

Hoping to go and see A single man next weekend, my other favourite actor Colin Firth, he is supposed to be brilliant in this. Anyone seen it yet?

Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Just saw The Hangover.


I am sorry, that movie Sucked BIG TIME.

I counted 7 laughs.

----------

I am constantly amazed at the dumbing down of the movie audience.

As much as I like to watch people get tasered?

I smirked once during that scene.

----------

The other complaint I have is about the sound levels while watching some flicks.

I had to keep adjusting the volume on the tube because every song played would get unbearably loud-forcing me to turn the volume down, then when the music stopped, I could not hear the dialogue.

Also, why is every soundtrack complete with the one loud, obnoxious rap song/music?

[carole]

saw The Blindside, awesome movie, sandra you were tops, but then when aren't you and you looked gorgeous as always, yep a big fan.11/10 lol.

Hired out Sherlock Homes, hated this movie, did not even watch it, even hubby was not impressed, and he watches anything lol, and my daughter who wanted us to hire it out, turned it off half way through.0/10

Also got What up with the morgans, was a bit hesitant as had bad reviews here, but it was ok, sure not the greatest movie, and i thought Sarah and Hugh's acting was appalling, however i did get a few laughs out of it, so maybe 5/10

And word of warning Wombat you are not stealing them and making them your's ok got that. lol

We don't need to steal them
They'll eventually succumb to the Money God, and just move here on their own....hee hee
