Hostel. Wow. It's not the absolute scariest movie I've seen, and, it does take a bit to get into the scary part, while it introduces you to the city, the characters and the story...but, I liked it. It's graphic sexually (lots of women's frontal views) and graphic like you wouldn't believe in the torture scenes. There aren't as many torture scenes as I'd anticipated...but, the ones that are shown are incredibly realistic. The fear depicted, though, is what is really intense. I mean, it's exactly how I'd expect a person to react to finding themselves in that type of situation, I really felt for the people, and, it was pretty scary and sad, like...I can't imagine being in a situation even remotely close to that...it was pretty awful. Not for the weak stomached, that's for sure. I give it a thumbs up. My older brother liked Saw better, and, I would agree with him had the acting in Saw not been so absolutely horrifically distracting for me.

I went and saw this today, and I thought it was really good. I will definitely have to buy it when it comes out on DVD

I've never heard of that one, but maybe that's a good thing LOL - what is it about?

I think we're going to the movies tonight, but we are taking my neices so I think we are going to see Cheaper by the Dozen 2. That seems to be the only safe one for kids out right now (except Narnia, which they have already seen).

Phantom of the Opera.. mwhahaha lol

It's a documentary which I think is from Austria. There are sub-titles. It's about these people who treat their animals like humans. So I decided to rent it. Well, it was soooo depressing. Some of the people treated their animals like crap (hitting them, and getting a little kinky with them). There was one scene that had a ferret with a broken back!

It was poorly filmed. Everything was bleak and cold. There was no point to this film except I wanted to go to Austria and save these animals.

Please, for the love God, don't ever rent it. You'll be very very sorry.

Yikes that doesn't sound like good entertainment at all. Thanks for the warning!

Lets see....saw The Constant Gardner last night on DVD. It was very good. And went to see Brokeback Mountain at the movies today. It was good. However, I thought it was a very long movie and I wasn't crazy about the ending. It was 2.50 hours long.

I went to see Brokeback Mountain on Sunday with a few friends for my birthday. It was good, but I literally couldn't understand half of the things Heath's character said (sheesh, I forgot his name already!) since he mumbled so much. I want to watch it again after it comes out on DVD, and I do think it is good enough to buy. I didn't cry, but I don't usually cry the first time around when I watch movies unless if I'm alone. Like with the Notebook, the first time it was like I just reviewed it, and then every time after that I have cried I think I get distracted by my friends and family so I don't pay enough attention to it.

I saw Brokeback Mountain today.I thought it was good.A few people left because of the scenes with Jake and Heaths characters. Maybe you should know what the movie is about before you go see it..lol.

I watched Tristan and Isolde today. It was SO good! Very sweet movie.

I also saw Brokeback Mountain last week. Definitely not what I expected it to be. It was really sweet and made me tear up a bit.

YES!!! I absolutely love it
The movie is full of characters who probably represent many of the neuroses we all have! Talk about dysfunctional - the movie is like a parody. HA!! They are irritating and lovable

The Stone family consists of three sons and two daughters. The plot is the gathering of the members for a Christmas visit. The leading son is bringing home his very uptight and neurotic fiance - who the family has pretty much decided that they hate might dislike and are against the marriage of the two. The family includes the mom who reminds me of a ditzy yet smart Donna Reed or Martha Stewart. The dad is a loving sterotype of "every-dad". One daughter is separated from her hubby and has a precocious daughter. Youngest daughter is gossipy and spoiled - spreads negative reviews of the fiance and is the one who is displaced from her room to accomodate the guest. Another brother brings home his partner who is a nice calm person who trades recipes with the mom. The final son is a laid back, funny and non-judgemental prodigal who befriends the fiance.

I found the whole plot hysterical and loved every silly ( and bitter-sweet) event in the movie. Something for everyone!! It was like eavesdropping on a few days in the life of a family with all the problems we all have. I hope you watch it Carole We plan to buy it once the DVD is out - will be fun to rewatch each Christmas season.
