    Hello, I just finished watching "The Fighter". I thought it was a very good movie. If you dont like boxing, then you probably will not like this movie. However, it was about more than boxing. It's based on true story of Mickey Ward and his dysfunctional family. He had a controlling mother for his manager and his half brother a drug addict was his trainer. It's a story of how Mickey made it to a championship and his interaction with his family.

    Mark Wahlberg was great as Mickey. His brother in the movie played by Christian Bale won Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

    Amy Adams was terrific as Mickey's girlfriend.

    His mother in the movie played by Melissa Leo won Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in a movie.

    ALL actor and actresses were very good.... Kay in NC

    I just came on to post about this movie. I thought it was tremendous. And, I have to politely disagree with on this point...I don't think you have to like boxing at all to love this movie. I'd say it's 90% family and relationships, 10% boxing.

    The acting was top notch all around, and I definitely agree with Melissa Leo and Christian Bale winning Oscars. they were superb. Fantastic movie (and filmed in one month! crazy!).

    Going the Distance was really funny and a great romance/comedy film. I honestly thought it was one of the best I had seen in a LONG time, and I couldn't remember the last time I laughed and loved a lot of scenes in a movie. You should rent it! Worth seeing.

    I have just seen LIMITLESS, what a great movie, kept my interest the whole time, and it is a must to see on the big screen, Bradley Cooper is great in this movie, well worth seeing 7/10 From me.

    Burlesque. It was fun. I ADORE Stanley Tucci, he's got to be one of the most unobtrusively sexy men ever. There's just something about him that makes me just giddy. I thought everyone did a decent job, and although it was totally predictable, and the writing wasn't original...I really enjoyed it. I love that style of entertainment, so the costumes and music were fun. I grew tired of the whole Christina Aguilera/Cher/Whitney Houston/Celine Dion/Mariah Carey/etc/etc/etc style of singing, but it was still a fun little romp.

    I finally saw Unstoppable. I thought it was really good, especially Chris Pine. Really predictable, but I enjoyed it overall. It makes you hate stupid people. I also saw Little Red Riding Hood, on friday. It was a totally new difference to the original fairy tale but I liked it ALOT better. Definitely worth seeing, not the greatest movie ever but not that bad. It was more of a thriller movie than anything else, and it did it's job very well.

    Hmm interesting feedback on red riding hood, i have won passes so giving them to my daughter and her boyfriend Wom, i don't think they will like it that much, apparently it is by the same director or writer as Twilight, of which she was not a huge fan, but we shall wait and see what she thinks.

    Yes i liked UNSTOPPABLE too it was indeed predictable.

    Just been to see BLUE VALENTINE, don't waste your money on this one IMO, i did, however they were cheap tickets, it was ok, but certainly not one i would highly recommend.,Some parts were ok, but i was actually quite bored.

    I'm interested in seeing it. The visuals look cool, and I like Amanda Seyfried a lot. I'll probably see it when it's at Redbox.
