well tis me again, is no-one seeing movies anymore or forgetting to post.

Went to see the preview of HOPE SPRINGS last night, really really enjoyed this movie, two awesome and great actors meryl streep and tommy lee jones,both fantastic in this movie, which is funny,sad and moving i thought, an 8/10 from me, i love tommy in this movie, never been a fan, but i sure am now, wonderful job, and steve carrell interesting to see him in a rather different role, he was awesome too, go see it, will really appeal to those in the 50's and up generation ,but also to everyone i think.

We saw ARGO this afternoon - about the 6 Americans from the USA Embassy in Iran who were rescued by Canadians back in 1979 - 1980.

It was really good. I knew the ending, and yet I still got uptight toward the end, wondering of they would get out of the country safely.

At least Ben Affleck admitted he struggled with the movies' portrayal especially of the New Zealanders, but of course, he may have been one of the producers, but did not write the screenplay, and everyone knows "based on actual events" means that it is not all the truth, it is a movie after all, not meant as a documentary!

I have not seen the movie, will probably wait for it to be on cable.

[carole]

yes that is very true karen, i think he did produce it too or co-produce it,still surely they could get their facts straight, it is amazing how films influence peoples opinions though.

I am thinking about watching Young Frankenstein tonight. I picked it up for $5 at target 'cause I've never seen it that cheap. Gotta love it.
