has anyone seen Dead Birds?

My brother saw the Machinist, and, I want to. I've heard mixed reviews, but, I still plan to see it.

I haven't seen Dead Birds, I need to tell my brother about it, he loves scary movies!

Dead Bird is one of the strangest film I've ever seen (and VERY scary!!!)... It's a western, well, that's what you kind of believe in the begining anyway, which then turns into a suspence film, and from there turns into horror!

It's VERY low budget, but it's all in the way they use the music, and it's really, really scary! If anyone has any plans on seeing it: Do NOT see it alone, but DO see it in the dark!!!

Best wishes, Sylvie, KS' mom

Last night I watched "The Big Chill".

One of my all time favorites. Great movie and great soundtrack!

I saw Wedding Crashers last night. Oh gosh.. it was HILLARIOUS! I'm definitely seeing it again.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory after summer school yesterday, it was funny. See my sig for my all time favorite quote that I agree with 100%!

[finn's mom]

Ok, well, I posted in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory thread, already. It was so much fun! YAY!

I also saw War of the Worlds. I was so surprised at how much I liked it. It was intense, and, I thought the ending was really good. It wouldn't have been appropriate in that film to go out with a bang, I don't think. I was pretty scared in some parts, actually, although overall my feeling was one of urgency, like, geez, hurry! Good movie, though. Dakota Fanning annoyed me in parts, but, not any moreso than an actual child her age. Sorry if that offends anyone, she did a great job acting, though. I thought the actor playing Tom Cruise's son was hot. He's probably barely legal, I should wash my mouth out with soap for even saying that.

Another movie preview I saw last night is a Disney live action movie about a golfer. It's called the greatest game ever played. and, it has that adorable boy from the disney show "even stevens", he has an odd name, I can't remember it. He was in that crap piece of a movie, Charlie's Angels 3. Ugh. But, he's so cute, here I go again. Washing my mouth out. It looks good, though!

Wow, what a great animated film! I laughed a lot, and, just really enjoyed the movie. I came home last night after a long, hideous day, and, was trying to figure out if I was going to watch Garden State or The Incredibles. I'd never seen the Incredibles, so, I finally decided on that. The only thing that would have made it better was if it had been in widescreen. I borrowed the dvd from someone and it was the fullscreen version, which bugs me. But, it was still a great movie. I highly recommend it.

I watched 'Hide & Seek' the other night. Wow that was a weird one. I loved it, and did not guess the ending. I like those psychological thrillers with twists.

[ChrisH]

I watched 'Finding Neverland' and 'Arizona Dream' last week, 'What's eating Gilbert Grape' on Wednesday, 'From Hell' last night and 'Astronaut's Wife' this afternoon.

(Added to the others I've seen I think might be about a quarter way through the Johnny Depp films now )

Awesome, what did you think of them? I've seen those except Arizona Dream and Astronaut's Wife......were those any good?

[ChrisH]

Arizona Dream was ok ... just an aside, I love it when there are extra/bonus features on a DVD, in this case a long interview with Johnny about the film, which I think I enjoyed more.

I really enjoyed Astronauts Wife. Even though the story/theme isn't a new one I found it to be well paced and intriguing enough to keep me in my seat and interested.

But maybe you shouldn't take any notice of my opinions, the ones I have liked the best, The Brave, Secret Window, Don Juan de Marco have mostly had bad to lukewarm reviews.

I love extras on DVDs, especially bloopers/outtakes and interviews. I'll have to watch those two movies....and, as for the other three you mentioned, I've actually only ever seen Secret Window. I liked it, but, thought the ending was hokey. It almost ruined the whole film for me, I was disappointed. I had made that list of Depp films, and, put that I loved Don Juan de Marco, and, I don't know why. I've never seen it, but, I think I'll like it. I must have just been just so used to typing "loved it" when I did that list.

I haven't watched any movies today, but a few days ago, we went and saw "Batman Begins"...it was really good, I really enjoyed it!!
