Family and I watched 'Baby Mama' this evening. It's actually not quite as bad as I thought, kinda funny.

Control The story about Ian Curtis, the lead singer of the band, Joy Division.

Wow,
If you like music biopics, check this one out. I had peripherally heard of this band and happened to catch the movie today.

I really was touched by what this guy went through.

I went to see "It's complicated". I didn't stop laughing through the entire movie. Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep were a riot!!!

A definite MUST SEE!

[RICHARD]

I saw "Watchmen".

Good.

I don't really like movies where you jump into a story with a long history to it.
I think that the movie based on where a character/s came from is more compelling that a movie that gives you a glimpse back in the opening credits-ala any movie that comes from a Marvel Comic.

The producer of AVATAR said that he has a couple of projects in the works with James Cameron. One is based on the sport of freediving. Competitors take a breath and see how far down the can dive with no oxygen tanks.

If he is true to form? He will take the movie-THE BIG BLUE-and butcher storyline that to get his movie.

No, stuff like that doesn't count. That is a cartoon/CGI prduction!

When they take motion capture technology and try to pass it off as something else? Years ago there was a Lord of the Rings Cartoon done by Ralph Bashiki.

From what I remember? It was a film that was colored in later on-to add special effects and background. The actors were real, then enhanced in post production........


Avatar just takes that idea and 'computes' it.

That is my only problem with the way the film is being marketed.

Same idea, different tech!

I saw 'Lovely Bones', although I hid in my hat literally for 3 scenes, I think it was a pretty good and interesting movie. VERY VERY creepy and dark though, VERY. The ending made me happy.

Hannah and I watched Disney's The Little Mermaid today. I haven't watched it in YEARS and forgot how much I LOVE that movie. I think we are going to watch it again tomorrow

This is on my to see list for sure.

I think Lovely Bones was filmed in NZ, correct me if I am wrong, and of course by NZer Peter Jackson, sounds like it was good, my son saw it and liked it.

My daughter is off to see Avatar tonight, it is booked out here and really popular.

I love the "old movies" and plan my Saturdays around PBS. Last night I watched "Treasure of Sierra Madre" with Humphrey Bogart. Last week I watched "Arsenic and Old Lace" with Cary Grant and Raymond Massey. For as many times as I've seen it, I still laugh especially when Teddy runs up the stairs yelling "Charge!!!!".

The best part is all the oldies are shown in black & white as they were originally made.

Blue i have just seen the girl with the dragon tattoo on dvd and then next day went to see the girl who played with fire at the movies.

I have to say both were intense, certainly not boring, a little too violent for me, but i still enjoyed both movies,the story line was good, although very explicit, and you will know the scenes i mean, however i would rate it pretty high 7/10, i am now reading the book the girl who played with fire, and it makes great reading, better than the movie so far, as there is so much more in it, and even though i know most of the story i am still finding it an exciting read.
cannot wait for the third movie ,might get the book.

Loved the scenery, sweden is beautiful indeed.


One has to admire Lisbeth salander, man you don't want to mess with that girl lol.

Warning, if you are easily offended this is not the movie for you.

RABBIT HOLE NICOLE KIDMAN and AARON ECKHART ... RABBIT HOLE
is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly witty portrait of a family searching for what remains possible after their son is killed in an accident.

NICOLE KIDMAN and AARON ECKHART both deliver, exceptional performances, in this emotionally dense film about grief, coping with loss and finding a way to get life back on track. The film takes us into some very heart wrenching territory. I found this to be an exceptional film. This was Nicole Kidman first
film where she both acted and produced, and she did an outstanding job on both.
