whats the latest movie you have watched?

[bhill]

IPMAN was a really goo doc./film!!!

[Becks19]

We watched

The sorcerers apprentice....very good

Alice in wonderland....very entertaining

Eclipse....hideous, no story line and too much face sucking! The worst of the three so far.

[cat in a bag]

We watched The Road the other night. Very sad, very disturbing. I don't think I could read the book, if the movie made me feel that bad.

[Lina]

Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows. It's good as all HP movies, I liked it. I liked even that this movie is more dark and even scary...though, it's a pity it's not a nice fairy tale for children anymore.

Mirrors 2. It's one more movie on my list of bad films. It's just awful, excuse me for being sincere here...But it is so. I loved the first movie, it's one of my favorite horrors, in fact. And I expected the second one to be just like that, and sure I didn't expect it could turn to be so bad. Okay, watching it once was alright, but no way I ever watch it again!

[nate_watkins]

I finally watched Shawshank Redemption in its entirety for the first time. I've seen it many times, but I always seem to miss out on the very beginning. I read it for the first time a couple months ago. I don't think I could ever get sick of the story, it is excellent.

I also re-watched The Shining (Kubrick's version). I remember being disappointed with it the first time I saw it, but the second time around I didn't mind it as much. Although I think the TV version is a much better portrayal of the story.

[JayneH]

Made in Dagenham .... it was on the plane on the way home yesterday and I thought it was fantastic.

It is the story of a group of women machinists at the Ford Factory in Dagenham who were reclassified as unskilled workers so their pay could be cut.
They were the first women to strike ever in the UK .... Brilliant movie and showed just how tough it was for women in the sixties....

Thoroughly recommend it !!!!

[~Ally~]

Just finished re~watching "The Crucible"--Daniel Day Lewis and Winona Ryder--about the Salem Witch Trials.
Such a sad movie/story, made all the worse by it's "real" origins...made me cry.

[Jojo87]

I saw Flightplan with Jodie Foster, a awesome movie.

[Silhouette86]

Watched the first half of "It" last night. Going to watch second half today. I have the movie on VHS. I don't really care that the quality of the movie isn't as good as blue-ray or even simply DVD. I just enjoy watching movies.:smile2:

[nate_watkins]

I watched Iron Man for the first time the other night. I thought it was alright. I'm going to watch Stand By Me in a few days hopefully after I finish reading the Body.

[Lina]

I watched Poltergeist. The movie is rather old, but it's definitely a very good horror movie. I liked it, it's worth watching.

[mojomofo]

I watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"- I loved it! I was enthralled from the first 5 minutes. Even though there were a few parts that were hard to get through, I would highly recommend it.

[sknut70]

I saw the new Tron, im a big fan of the old one, was a kid when it came out and I loved it. I think they did a great job with the new one. though i dont know why they bothered to put the 3d scenes in. it was like an afterthought . I liked seeing the old jeff bridges play alongside the younger jeff bridges.

[nate_watkins]

I watched American Psycho last night, which was an interesting story and surprising ending.

I also watched G.I. Jane a couple days ago for the first time. :biggrin2: I guess I was a bit behind the times on that one...

[Kahllie]

Family watched the Shrek 4 disc set (watched the last two), and the some of the specials at the end of the final Shrek, including cast interviews.
Puss In Boots still "has it."

[Neil W]

I saw Flightplan with Jodie Foster, a awesome movie.

Really??????


This was posted to the Internet Movie DataBase by a Paul Pensom from London:

Man: "You know we're always saying we could use 50 million dollars?

Woman: "Yes"

Man: "Well I have a cunning plan."

Woman: "What's that then?"

Man: "First of all we need to find an aeronautics engineer working in a foreign country, with a child, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the layout of a particular long-haul plane."

Woman: "Why's that?"

Man: "Well then, you see, we murder her spouse, in such a way as it looks like an accident."

Woman: "What for?"

Man (exasperated): "Well then of course, we bribe the mortuary assistant at the hospital into letting us place explosives inside the casket."

Woman: "But why?"

Man: "I'm coming to that. Then we wait until the woman decides to return the the U.S."

Woman: "But what if she doesn't?"

Man: "She just will, okay? So anyway, when she decides to return home we find out what flight she's on. Hopefully she is not only placed on the type of plane of which she has encyclopedic knowledge, and flying with the airline of which you're a flight attendant, but also on the same flight as her dead husband's casket. Are you following?"

Woman: "I think so."

Man:"Good, we're nearly there. Then all we need to do is falsify the checking-in information to remove all record of her daughter, make sure she gets on the plane half an hour before everybody else, ensure there is a row of empty seats behind her and get me on the flight, sitting nearby."

Woman: "And then?"

Man (laughing): "Now this the cunning part. She takes the empty seats, allowing her daughter to sit in the aisle seat, then when she goes to sleep, all I have to do is steal a food trolley, stuff the daughter into it and hide her in the hold. Oh, and did I mention that we must ensure that nobody on the entire plane sees the daughter?"

Woman: "Isn't this getting a little far fetched?"

Man (angry): "What do'you mean? It's a great plan? All I have to do then is remove the child's boarding pass from wherever the mother is keeping it without waking her, assist her search for the missing child in the guise of an Air Marshal, convince the captain that the woman is mad and that the child died with her father (through a forged note from the mortician), and wait for the mother to escape from my custody.

Woman:"Escape, why?"

Man: "Because the casket can only be unlocked by her, so once she's unlocked it I can set the timer on the explosives. From there we're home and dry. I merely have to recapture her, convince the captain that she's actually not mad but a hijacker who wants 50 million dollars and give the Captain our account number, asking him to ensure the money is paid straight in. Oh, Then we land, everybody gets off the plane, I shoot the mother and blow up the daughter and nobody is any the wiser. We walk away with a cool 50 million. Simple eh?"

[sam peebles]

Zombie Strippers, starring the always classy Jenna Jameson. It had its funny moments, not without its charm. Of course it was a stupid movie, but I expected that going in, so I wasn't disappointed or suprised.

[Anna Rose]

i watched Breakfast at Tiffany's the other night, it was really cute! <3 Cat was my favorite character (yes it is a cat and its name is Cat)

[Petrollika]

Just finished re~watching "The Crucible"--Daniel Day Lewis and Winona Ryder--about the Salem Witch Trials.

We've been studying that in English :smile2:
It begins to lose its magic (pun intended) after the third essay you write on it


I watched Iron Man for the first time the other night. I thought it was alright. I'm going to watch Stand By Me in a few days hopefully after I finish reading the Body.

Stand By Me has to be one of my favourite films of all time. I wish the ending wasn't different in the film though - although it was so sad to hear that all the characters died in the book, what was the point in including the moons and goochers bit when all but one of them survived in the film?

[Jojo87]

I watched Secret Window today. I've seen it dozen times. A very great movie.

[Silhouette86]

I watched Carrie two days ago. Did you know that Sissy Spacek was nominated for Best Actress for playing Carrie?

[Terry B]

Saw the new Robin Hood (with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett) the other evening. This movie was awesome.

[bobledrew]

Watched a documentary called "Pressure Cooker" which was quite good -- about a culinary arts class in an inner-city Philadelphia high school, and "Whip It" with Ellen Page. Not the best movie ever. Worth the rental on DVD, but I think I might have been disappointed to pay theatre prices for it.

[RandomMan]

The Fighter...great movie based on true story. Be prepared to hear the F-bomb about a million times. I really think some awards will be won with this film.

[Samantha_]

Step Up 3 - yes, really. Some good dance scenes.

[Utterpaj]

I watched Green mile on tv the other day, I've wached it a few times before but it's still amazing! Some movies you can't get tired of, and that's one of them!

[Cowboy]

Saw the new version of True Grit.....loved it as did the kids. I was quite disturbed that they would try and remake a John Wayne movie, but they did an awesome job and Matt Damon was bit of an improvement over Glenn Campbell.....sorry Rhinestone Cowboy.

[Raoul Duke]

Here's a short list of R-rated comedies I've recently watched. They were actually good

Step Brothers
Semi-Pro
Road Trip

[Neil W]

Gulliver's Travels - less awful than I expected. Suprisingly, Jack Black isn't the worst thing in it - Emily Blunt is awful.

Love And Other Drugs - NOT a comedy, although often quite funny. I enjoyed it, although not convinced by the ending. I hope Anne Hathaway makes more movies like this, call me selfish, I don't care.

The Next Three Days - tolerable thriller, although I preferred the French original.

The Way Back - impressive, but a bit impersonal - we needed to get to know them all a lot quicker.

[Lina]

Down. This movie was way better than I expected. In fact, I really loved it. But I guess after watching this movie, it's not soon I'm using an elevator again :)

[larasgirl]

Watched Shutter Island the other night. I thought it was pretty good. Very shocking twist towards the end. ( Although I wasn't crazy about the scene with his family by the lake.)

[nate_watkins]

The Number 23. It was very interesting to watch the story unfold, and I thought Jim Carrey was alright in a serious role.

[sam peebles]

I saw the Blob remake from the eighties. Co-written by Frank Darabont and his actor buddy there that appears in all his films (prosecutor in Shawshank, one of the guards in Green Mile, not sure of his name though) played the sheriff.

[Becks19]

Case 39 it started off a bit slow, but really picked up in the end. Cats and dogs the revenge of Kitty Galore. I thought it was too cute. ( Didn't hurt that a GSD had a big part LOL)

[Moderator]

I saw the Blob remake from the eighties. Co-written by Frank Darabont and his actor buddy there that appears in all his films (prosecutor in Shawshank, one of the guards in Green Mile, not sure of his name though) played the sheriff.

Jeffrey DeMunn?

[sam peebles]

Yeah, I think you're one hundred percent right Ms Mod

[bobledrew]

Saw a great documentary this weekend called Kings of Pastry (http://kingsofpastry.com/film/). Film was made by the same guy who did the Bob Dylan doc back in the day, "Don't Look Back." Deals with a competition in France to choose the best patissiers (pastry chefs). Amazingly engaging.

[Vado Tempestas]

Batman with Michael Keaton, directed by Tim Burton. Definitely needed some brain r&r, and this fit the prescription perfectly.

[mojomofo]

We've been on a bit of a movie marathon lately- we've seen The Black Swan and The Fighter. Both were very good, so whatever movie I see next is probably going to suck!

[sam peebles]

I watched Black Swan last night. It was...good. I think Natalie Portman is one of the most beautiful actresses today, so that helps, but she's so petite in the movie, it disturbs me slightly. The movie was a bit slow at times (I thought it could do with an injection of Jack Black to lighten things up, but I always think a movie will improve with Jack Black), but it was definitely interesting. Worth watching.

[motocop]

Had a mini Cheech and Chong marathon last night. Even though I dont smoke, those guys were still hilarious. I watched "Next Movie" and "Nice Dreams"

[Jojo87]

I watched Secret Window week ago. This is the third time I see that movie. A good movie.

[SHEEMIEE]

magnificent seven quad started last night- verdict to follow!
PRIMER has to be up there-still havent worked it out yet -6 viewings later!

[Anna Rose]

the ten things i hate about you :)

[Connie Reader]

I watched Despicable me last night and Dinner for Schmucks the night before, a mini Steve Carrell marathon of sorts. Both were funny, Dinner got a little long in the middle, but the ending was really funny.

[Jojo87]

I saw Messenger 2 Scarecrow today. It was a awesome movie. Littlebit scary too.

[Lina]

I watched Premonition. It was the second time I saw this movie and I guess I will watch it again. It's a good movie, definitely worth watching.

[sam peebles]

I saw this weird movie called Cyrus with John C Reilly, Jonah Hill, and Marissa Tomei. Good cast, and Jonah Hill was really weird in it, but altogether is was pointless and not very good.

[boogerb53]

I watched The Road....And I have to say I am a bit dissapointed. The book was 100 times better.

[lovely1]

I saw a lot of movies. I saw Date Night which was really funny Tina Fey and Steve Carrell make a good comedic couple. Frozen was like a real life horror come true. Precious, I finally saw this and Devil which had it's share of thrills and a "who is the devil?" vibe.

[sam peebles]

I watched Exit Through the Gift Shop, a documentary about street artists, focusing on the awesome British artist Banksy. The ending was amazing, but I don't want to ruin anything. Suffice to say it was the best movie I've seen in a while, better than Black Swan or True Grit.

Also, I'm not sure if it is a real documentary or an elaborate prank by Banksy. I looked it up online and found mixed things regarding it, some people positive it is real, others positive it is fake. Not Banksy himself--he is a real artist, although no one knows who he actually is--but if the ending and, entire movie are real. If it is fake, it is a much better fake than the Blair Witch, which I never thought was real.

[PatInTheHat]

I watched Premonition. It was the second time I saw this movie and I guess I will watch it again. It's a good movie, definitely worth watching.

I knew you'd say that:eyebrow:.
(:blush: somebody had to do it:biggrin2:)

[fljoe0]

Sin Nobre - excellent gritty tale about gang life, poverty and immigrants in South America. I think the movie is a Mexican movie. I've seen several movies made in Mexico that are really good. Y Tu Mamá También was a good one too.

[fljoe0]

I think Exit Through The gidt Shop was a prank but am not totally sure. I didn't think so while I was watching it but the more I thought about it after it was over, it seemed like a prank to me. Very good flic either way.

[Tinahorve]

Despicable Me - that movie was too funny.

[Raoul Duke]

8MM (suspense thriller starring Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, & James Gandolfini)
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (stoner classic with a ton of all-star cameos)
Zack & Miri.... full name: Zack & Miri Make A Porno (who would've guessed that Silent Bob's most successful movie does not feature Jay & Silent Bob)

[Lina]

Yesterday I rewatched Skeleton Key. One of my favorite movies, I like it. Not the best one, but still a nice movie to see.

[Jojo87]

This weekend I rewatched Dolores Claiborne. I kinda love that movie. This is the third time I see it and everytime is so good.

[fljoe0]

I watched "Dune" on blu-ray. What a horrible adaptation of a great book. This movie is a case where there is just too much story to try and cram in a movie. If you've not read the book, I highly recommend it. It's a very slow read though because there is a big vocabulary in the front of the book that you have to keep referring to as you read the story. It's worth the trouble though.

[nate_watkins]

I watched Good Will Hunting over the weekend. Interesting flick.

[Spade]

Buried (2010) with Ryan Reynolds. One of my favorites from last year.

[Tery]

On my own over the weekend so I finally (!!) watched Memoirs of a Geisha. It was beautiful - the cinematography was just amazing! And, yes, I cried ;)

[sam peebles]

I watched a couple of horror movies this weekend.

Train - the worst of the flicks I saw. A torture porn movie with Thora Birch. I hated this movie.

The Burrowers - surprising blend of western and horror. Has Clancy Brown from Shawshank in it, and Doug Hutchison from Green Mile. The monsters in it look kinda lame, but still decent overall.

Trick 'r Treat - my favorite of the three. Some clever writing, and it's not as utterly depressing as The Burrowers. It doesn't take itself so seriously. I'm amazed that this film didn't get a theatrical release. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes fun horror flicks. A hidden jewel!

[motocop]

I saw Inception on the airplane on Friday. It was good, but I definately need a rewatch. Pretty sure I missed things I should have seen.

[Sigmund]

We watched Case 39 and Devil. Pretty good horror films. You will jump once or twice, peek through your fingers and an eek or two might escape. Good fun!

[Christiane17]

I watched The Langoliers on steaming. I liked it, but I wish they would make a remake of it. The Langoliers looked too much like pacman to me. But I had fun watching it.

[LEELEEBG]

I watched True Grit ..enjoyed that, finally got my husband to watch The Stand...took a couple of days to watch but he did...(I guess I can untie him now ) and and The Final...(that was on syfy)...Don't know if anyone else saw it...Bullied Teens take revenge on bullies..Let me tell you pay back really sucked for them

[~Ally~]

"The King's Speech."

Amazing movie, I truly can't fault it in any way. No need to rely on special effects or overly dramatic storylines, just a true story portrayed by extremely talented actors. If this movie doesn't scoop up an armful of awards at the Oscars then I'll wonder if they really are "fixed." And that's all I will say...as y'all know how much I waffle and will end up writing a full review, ha.

[Raoul Duke]

Hannibal (it's no Silence of the Lambs but the infamous kitchen scene alone makes it worth the price of admission)
Mr. Deeds
Home Alone

[sam peebles]

Satan's Little Helper. I've been on a cheesy horror film kick lately. It was a terrible movie, but it had its moments. Certainly not as bad as Train. This movie had a sense of humor about itself, which counts a lot with me.

[motocop]

Is Train the one where the tourists have their organs cut out for the black market? If so, then I agree, very bad movie. Kind of a cheesy version of "Touristas", which I liked.

[CoolhandLocke]

Kings Speech (again lol)
The Color Purple
Book of Eli
Inglorious Bastards

Yeah i like to mix it up a bit lol..

[Doc Wilson]

Toy Story III. I was disappointed, I thought the first two were great. Before that, Dolan's Cadillac. Very nice, up there with the most successful king adaptations like Shawshank and Green Mile.

[sam peebles]

Is Train the one where the tourists have their organs cut out for the black market? If so, then I agree, very bad movie. Kind of a cheesy version of "Touristas", which I liked.

Yeah, that's the one. I can stomach the gore, I don't flinch or anything, but it was just pointless. Besides one or two brief scenes (seeing their friend's bright blue eyes in a little Asian boy's face) there was nothing I liked at all about Train.

[motocop]

Yeah, that's the one. I can stomach the gore, I don't flinch or anything, but it was just pointless. Besides one or two brief scenes (seeing their friend's bright blue eyes in a little Asian boy's face) there was nothing I liked at all about Train.

I totally agree, not many redeaming qualities. Im all for the hillbilly inbread gore scenes too, as long as there done right:eek2::eyebrow:
Like "Wrong Turn", or "The Hills Have Eyes".

[A Guest from Roanoke]

I'm going to finish watching Iron Man 2 tonight then onto the Book of Eli.

[motocop]

I'm going to finish watching Iron Man 2 tonight then onto the Book of Eli.

Both great movies. For those who have seen Book of Eli, can you answer this question.Was he blind or not?

[sam peebles]

Yeah, I was surprised how much I really liked the Hills Have Eyes remake. I haven't seen Wrong Turn though. All the other torture porn movies I don't really like--the first Saw was okay, but now we're on what, Saw 20? Didn't like Hostel either, but it was certainly better than Train.

[motocop]

Yeah, I was surprised how much I really liked the Hills Have Eyes remake. I haven't seen Wrong Turn though. All the other torture porn movies I don't really like--the first Saw was okay, but now we're on what, Saw 20? Didn't like Hostel either, but it was certainly better than Train.

Right about the Saw franchise, way over done. The first Wrong Turn with Eliza Dushku was good, cant speak for the sequel. Yeah the torture/rape movies are a little much to handle. Especially when I watch most movies with my wife. Not good movie night material. Dont think Ill be watching "I Spit on Your Grave". Heard that one is way too much.

[CoolhandLocke]

Definitely stay away from spit on your grave... Hostel, Turistas, Hills all those didn't bother me, but Spit actually did. Not a bad movie, but a bit too realistic i guess you could say for my taste..

[fljoe0]

I watched "Inception" last night on Blu-ray. I meant to catch it in the theatre when it was out and missed it. What an awesome movie, I really wish I would have seen it on the big screen. It requires your full undivided attention, so only watch it when you know you won't have any distractions. This is the kind of movie I'm going to have to see several times. Highly recommended.

[Neil W]

Sanctum 3D - good visuals, bad script

Hereafter - high octane start, then becomes very leisurely and low key.

[sam peebles]

Hey, Motocop, for the Book of Eli...

The director left it open to whether or not Denzel is blind through the whole movie, however, in the original script, he is completely blind from the start.

[Moderator]

Hey, Motocop, for the Book of Eli...

I'd assumed he must have been because the Book was in Braille.

[A Guest from Roanoke]

I'd assumed he must have been because the Book was in Braille.

I didn't think so for these simple reasons : He knew Salara's mother was blind and also he kept traveling west (how did he know which way to go?) maybe that is a bit ignorant of me but I would like to know if someone knows the answer?

[sam peebles]

He knew which way by feeling the direction of the sun on his face.

These are just guesses. Sometimes in the movie he certainly seems to be able to see, and then there are clues that he can't. They never come out and specifically say it one way or the other. My opinion is that he was blind, and the original script supports that, but I don't think there's a wrong answer.

You may be right about that. It would explain why it has taken him 30 years to get to his destination.

[CCAL]

Peeples: "but I don't think there's a wrong answer".
Hmm, havent seen movie but seems there can only be one answer--blind or not blind....

[sam peebles]

I'll have to disagree. I think he was blind. A Guest from Roanoke thinks he might be able to see. You can't prove it either way, as the movie never comes out and says it one way or the other. Its left up to your own interpretation, so there's no wrong answer.

[tower-obsession]

The last movie I watched was The Man From Earth. It was interesting.

[Neil W]

Never Let Me Go - falsely advertised as romantic drama, with unbelievable scenario overriding good performances.

Gnomeo and Juliet - funny British 3D CGI based on Shakespeare (who knew?) with great voice cast - James MacEvoy, Emily Blunt, Maggie Smith, Michael caine, Patrick Stewart, Jason Statham, Dolly Parton, Ozzy Osborne...

Paul - 2 Brits on US road trip play host to escaped alien. Very funny.

[Becks19]

Paranormal activity 2.:eek2: I thought I was gonna fall asleep!

[A Guest from Roanoke]

You Don't Mess With The Zohan - I didn't like it at all.

[Connie Reader]

watched Just go with it, the Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston flick...loved it...laughed the whole time! Nick Swardson is so funny, the chemistry with Adam and Jennifer was wonderful. The critics said skip it, and that is why I don't take their advice!

[nate_watkins]

Over the weekend I watched The Elephant Man with Anthony Hopkins, The Diary of Anne Frank (this one came out a couple years ago), and the Pianist. All three were very good movies. And all three show some of the cruel things humans do to one another.

[Raoul Duke]

Shoot To Kill (a great film with Sidney Poitier, Clancy Brown & Tom Berenger from 1988 that I hadn't seen until last week)
School Ties
The Roommate (as I predicted this was like a watered-down version of Single White Female)

[Brian]

Saw 12 Monkeys again. Pretty good. But not as good as when it came out in '97

[Roland17]

Wolfman - finally got round to watching it - was pretty unsatisfied overally. was too short, not enough actually happened and the story-telling was too jumpy. Shame because it was quite impressive visually and there were a few decent performances

[gniknehpets]

Went to Sanctum last weekend. If you are claustrophobic AT ALL do not go! I was in a cold sweat through the whole movie. All I could think was "Get out! Get out!" Had nightmares. Blankets were trapping me...

[Bev Vincent]

Unstoppable, with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine (Kirk from Star Trek). Pedal to the metal, full out thriller. Takes your breath away. Enough characterization to make it interesting.

[Becks19]

I watched Devil over the weekend. It was better than I expected. I would have never guessed The Devil was the old lady

[goodwitch]

Hi Mookie! I saw Devil over the weekend also. That was a surprise to me also! I had the brunette pegged as the Devil. It was a good movie, good suspense IMO. I also watched Paranormal Activity 2 not as good as the first but not horrible. I will probably watch it again. Saw it at work so I don't think the monitor did it justice. Last but not least, The Runaways which I really liked. Dakota Fanning is an amazing little actress.

[Becks19]

I thought the first Paranormal activity was way better.watching the pool cleaner pop in and out of the pool was endlessly boring

[sam peebles]

I watched this lame horror movie called Shrooms. Another film with American teenagers in a foreign country (this time Ireland, but a really backwoods part). The movie tries to inject some ambuguity by having the characters tripping on
mushrooms, so you're never suppose to know if everything is real or not, but it ends with an unoriginal and predictable twist. Fortunately it was pretty short, around ninety minutes, so I didn't waste too much of my life on it.

[Terry B]

The new Rambo. A bit bloody but pretty good. Brings to light the tragedy going on in Burma.

[motocop]

The new Rambo. A bit bloody but pretty good. Brings to light the tragedy going on in Burma.

Yeah it was ok. I was a little turned off about the horrible CGI. Doesnt hold up against the originals at all.

[Daphne Deschain]

The Stand funnily enough after having it sitting in my collection for well over 12 months =/
Lucky Number Slevin arrived through my door this morning so that will be next!!!

[nate_watkins]

I watched V for Vendetta last night. I thought it was pretty good. It's a good example of why people shouldn't let their govornments exert any more power than needed, or let them get out of control.

[Anna Rose]

Shutter Island :) with Leonardo DiCaprio :love:

[xkittyx]

We just recently watched on DVD Let Me In, Lucky Number Slevin, Swing Kids, Kingdom of Heaven, and Glory. About a month ago we went to the theater and watched True Grit, which I thought was really good.

[blunthead]

Watched Midnight Run yesterday again. My favorite buddy movie. If movie greatness depends on direction, writing, and acting, there you go.

[Anna Rose]

up, sooo cute but really sad

[Sigmund]

up, sooo cute but really sad

Can't watch that one. Too close and it'll stay with me.

[Sigmund]

It's Kinda A Funny Story.

My son REALLY wanted me to see it but, I was a bit reluctant-don't handle sadness very well. Surpisingly, good and uplifting.

[SusanNorton]

At the theater, I saw "Gnomeo and Juliet" with my daughter this past weekend.

On the television, I DVRed "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and we watched it Sunday.

[Anna Rose]

Can't watch that one. Too close and it'll stay with me.

it is sad, but the way he keeps his promise is so cute :) and kevin and dug=adorable!!!

[Goodlovin]

I just got done watching Inception on Blu Ray.

Pretty cool move and the special effects are out of this world.

I think its a you decide the ending sort of thing so I can see some not digging it.

[sam peebles]

I watched the Room, infamous as the Citizen Kane of bad movies. It's so bad, it's hilarious. It was written, produced, directed, and starring Tommy Wiseau. This guy is insane.

[Terry B]

SYFY had The Children of the Corn (new one) on the other day so I took advantage and recorded it. It wasn't too bad. It's been so long since I saw the original that it made it hard to compare but then I've always been a big Linda Hamilton fan. :cool2:

[Silhouette86]

I watched "Pet Sematary" yesterday. Still love it.

[Evil Queen]

I just finished watching "Spirit of The Marathon"...I love this movie! It's so motivational, it made me feel like going out for a run. I could feel the emotions of the runners at the finish line, & I cried w/joy for those who finished, Deena Kastor finished first, & could feel their exhaustion! I love watching people run, the body is a great running machine,...to see it in action is incredible! This is my year...going to get back to running, after 4 kids-the last 2 basically one right after the other, my body is yearning to get out in the fresh air & get moving!! Wow, sorry, probably way too much info there!!! That's how much this movie motivates me!!

[Petrollika]

I watched Tarzan yesterday... :laugh:.
I forgot just how great the Disney classics were. I was literally LOLing at some parts, call it witty jokes or extreme sleep deprivation, but it's better than a lot of the films I've recently seen :grinning:

[fljoe0]

The American with George Clooney. This is an excellent movie but it was probably ruined for some people by it's trailer. The trailer portrays this as some kind of Bourne-like thriller and it is not that at all. I hate when I see one of these deceptive trailers and I'm are all amped up for one type of movie and I get a totally different one. It's a character study about a hit man type that is looking to get out of the business and wants a more normal life. There is a little shooting and a chase or two but it is not the thrill a minute ride the trailer makes it out to be. Good flick - just don't expect what you see in the trailer.

[Evil Queen]

My kids love those Disney movies,...someone mentioned Up....OMG!! That movie makes me cry everytime I see it! Very moving......but I'm a big cry-baby when I watch movies now, always crying in the sad parts....

[xkittyx]

O man, Up made me cry, and Wall-E, and pretty much any other Disney movie. I'm such a cry baby too! :blush:

[Elemeno P]

District 9

Pleasantly surprised.

[sam peebles]

Yeah, I was also pleasantly surprised by District 9. Did not expect it to be that good at all.

I watched Jason X (aka Friday the 13th in Space). It was terrible, but what did I expect?

Also saw Paranormal Activity 2. I liked the first one, but this sequel sucked. I've been there, seen it. It offered nothing new from the original, and in fact, some shots seemed purposely duplicated from the first.

[Raoul Duke]

Trespass (decent movie with William Sadler, Ice-T, Bill Paxton, & Ice Cube)
Thinner (obviously not as good as the book but it's not too bad, & I liked SK's cameo as Dr. Bangor)
Pootie Tang

[CoolhandLocke]

Yeah, I was also pleasantly surprised by District 9. Did not expect it to be that good at all.

I watched Jason X this weekend too, cheesy but I loved it anyway lol....

I watched VideoDrome last night for the first time in awhile...great mind bending flick!

[bobledrew]

Saw Rango this weekend. Very funny movie. A bit more loosely structured and hallucinatory than the Pixar animated flicks (which I also love).

[Brian]

Saw the "Bourne Adjustment." - Lame...

[Neil W]

Ironclad - The Magnificemt 7 with mud.

[Cowboy]

The Kings Speech, I thought it was very well done. Having to do public speaking once in a while, my heart went out to the Stammering King.

[Lina]

The Eye. One of my favorite horror movies, I was really glad to see it again.

Beauty and the Beast. Nice old Disney cartoons, I love them so much! It was so nice to see this cute fairy-tale again, I simply enjoyed it.

[Tinks]

Paul
Very funny film with lots of sci-fi in jokes. Almost like a feature length Spaced.

[devernxo]

Crank :)

[sam peebles]

I watched Daybreakers. I like the actors--Ethan Hawke, Sam Neil, Willem Dafoe--but I did not like this movie.

[Jojo87]

I saw Frozen Kiss last weekend and thought that would be a great movie. But got dissapointed. It was not very good.

[Liselle]

Just watched Shutter Island, that was a really good film, didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did (even though I had sussed it out way before the end!)

[sam peebles]

I saw Frozen, about three kids stuck on a ski lift. It was okay...better than I thought it would be, but there seemed to be a lot of things the kids could've done to get down but didn't.

[Moderator]

Pirate Radio--pretty funny and also better than I was expecting it to be.

[motocop]

I saw Frozen, about three kids stuck on a ski lift. It was okay...better than I thought it would be, but there seemed to be a lot of things the kids could've done to get down but didn't.

I saw that. It was pretty good. What were some ways you think they could have gotten down? The scene wherethe wolves eat that guy were pretty gruesome.

[Silhouette86]

The last movie I watched was "Wonder Boys". Really good movie.

[fljoe0]

The last movie I watched was "Wonder Boys". Really good movie.

Awesome movie. I loved the part when you first see the novel Michael Douglas is working on and can't finish. This movie is my favorite Michael Douglas performance.

[tower-obsession]

127 Hours. It's about Aron Ralston, the man who cut his right arm off after it got pinned under a rock in a canyon.

[HorrorMama]

I'm about to put in My Soul to Take. I watch a lot of horror films but I scare easy, so we'll see how this goes. hahahahah. 2am horror film watching isn't a good idea.. but I do it every night almost...

[sam peebles]

Motocop, when I was watching Frozen, the first thing I thought was make a clothes rope!!! It may break, sure, but it will get you a bit closer to the ground at the very least. You'll be cold getting down the mountain afterwards, but it's better than slowly freezing to death. Also, there were bungie cords holding the cushion to the ski lift (you can see them when the camera pans around). They aren't long enough to reach the ground of course, but again, they'll get you closer. Or...could one of the kids have used his skis, or a ski pole, to sort of zip line down the ski lift wire? This seems the most risky of my ideas, and they threw all that stuff away trying to get the attention of the plow driver, but it might be better than tearing your hands apart on the wire. And I've never heard of a wolf attack on a person in New England. I do know wolves kill people, and Dan was an easy target with his legs broken (yeah, that was gruesome), but the other people? I don't know. I did like the references to Jaws, though.

[devernxo]

I wanna see my soul to take, horror mama, i just watched wrong turn, about to watch the sequel.

[Jojo87]

I saw Skeleton Crew yesterday. I thought is gonna be a typical bad Finnish horror movie. But I got suprised it was good.

[sam peebles]

I watched Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows Part One. I really liked it.

[Cowboy]

Watched Battle LA.....thought it was a pretty good shoot em up.

[Lina]

Finally I watched Let Me In. Yeah, I liked the movie. I really enjoyed it.

Also together with my friends I watched Due Date. It was fun to watch it, but still can't say that it will ever become my favorite. I simply prefer other kinds of movies.

[ILove]

I watched Con Air yesterday, it was on tv again...

[sam peebles]

I watched this Australian flick called Kenny. It wasn't very ambitious, but it was good. Basically it's about this guy Kenny that works with portable toilets for concerts and festivals, etc. It would've been crappier (pun intended) if Kenny wasn't such a likable guy.

[jacobtlong]

Last night I watched a movie called Identity starring John Cusack and Ray Liotta. I'd never seen it before, but I'd heard about it back high school. I thought it was really good.

[devernxo]

I watched the Happening :)

[juanfernandes]

Regrettably, the last movie I saw was The Human Centipede. Not the best film ever.

[devernxo]

Sick isn't it juan.

[skyrow]

If you like the lead actress in "Let me in" then you'll love "Kick Ass" if you haven't already watched it. Two of my fav movies!

OMG! that movie was sickening!! It made me hurt just watching it!

[skyrow]

"Red Riding Hood" Love it love it love it!

[Tery]

We bought the Blu-Ray DVD of Inception and watched it over the weekend.

:eek2:

Trippy.

[sam peebles]

It watched this movie called Monsters. I think it's a foreign film, British if I'm correct, but the main characters are American. It's about a Nasa probe that crashes into Mexico on its return to earth, and carries alien life form. Despite its name, there were very few creatures in the movie (their screen time reached five minutes tops). It was done well, but I found myself bored through the majority of it.

[bryras]

Last weekend I watched 3 movies.

It’s Kind of a Funny Story – I really enjoyed this one. Not to be blasphemous but it kind of made me think of a modern day One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (which is easily one of my favorite movies of all time).

Despicable Me – I liked it. What can I say? I am a big kid and I still love animated movies!

Case 39 – I put this one off for quite a while because I really didn’t know how Renée Zellweger would be in a horror movie. I friend of mine kept telling me I should check it out so I did and thank you to my friend because I found this movie very entertaining!

[devernxo]

Sam, i wanna watch Monsters, but its not being shown in england!

[tower-obsession]

We watched Thinner a couple days ago.

[Neil W]

Sam, i wanna watch Monsters, but its not being shown in england!
It was in cinemas last year. I think the DVD just came out.

[sam peebles]

It was in cinemas last year. I think the DVD just came out.

Yeah, I saw it on Netflix, so I assume it's not in theaters anymore.

[juanfernandes]

Yes, it was sick!

[fljoe0]

Kinjite, a Charles Bronson movie. This really gives Mandingo a run for it's money for the most offensive movie I've ever seen. Bronson really made some awful movies in the 80's and I think this was the last of that string.

There is a pretty hilarious error in this movie too. Bronson and his partner are hanging a guy over a balcony by his feet and accidentally drop him and he lands in the pool below. When they dropped him, he was a black man and when he was floating in the pool, he was a white man.

[devernxo]

It wasnt in cinemas near me then :L

[jacobtlong]

I watched Tombstone starring Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. What a great movie. IMO, there is nothing better than a good Western in the morning. :)

[devernxo]

I just watched Control

[dolphins813]

Hall Pass. I liked it.Very funny movie.

[jacobtlong]

I watched Reign Over Me starring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle last night. Really touching movie.

[fljoe0]

I just watched Control

Are you talking about the one about Joy division? That movie was excellent. I hope the UK isn't as bleak as it looks in that movie.

[devernxo]

No, its about this guy whos on death row :L

[sam peebles]

Oh, I thought it was the Joy Division movie too.

[Daphne Deschain]

I just watched 30 Days of Night, was ok but I did start to day dream in a few parts so not riveting!!! There is a very good scene of a head being decapitated if you're into that sorta thing!!!

Might just re watch Strangers this arvo!!

[Raoul Duke]

Flawless (about revenge & diamonds with Michael Caine & Demi Moore)
Cool Runnings (true story of the 1988 jamaican bobsled team)
The Addams Family (alright but not decent like the sequel)

[Neil W]

The Eagle - Butchus Cassidius and the Caledonian Kid.

Hall Pass - disappointing. Jason Sudeikis' character was too stupid to have reached adulthood and still be alive, and Owen Wilson - guess what? - played Owen Wilson. Again. Both of which spoilt it for me.

Battle: Los Angeles - Saving Private Ryan, only in LA with aliens instead of Normandy with Nazis.

[fljoe0]

Patrick Age 1.5 - A Swiss movie about a gay couple that thinks they are adopting a boy that is 1.5 years old and instead get a 15 year old homophobe. A comedy with a heart type movie but doesn't get overly sappy. It is a good flick - I rented it on netflix.

[aintshesweet]

I watched "Doubt" last night. It starred Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams. It was pretty good. Has anyone else seen it?

[~Ally~]

I watched "Doubt" last night. It starred Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams. It was pretty good. Has anyone else seen it?

Yup, this is a great movie, extremely thought provoking. (I can't ever fault performances by Streep or Seymour~Hoffman, though.)

I've just watched "Black Sheep" on the recommendation of Sknut70, and all I can say is...hmmmmm!
Genetically modified mutant sheep. Say no more. :eyebrow:

[Brian]

Paul: Pretty good. I had no idea it was essentially a remake of E.T. Paul looks amazing and he's so funny. But the story is a bit weak.

[~Ally~]

Paul: Pretty good. I had no idea it was essentially a remake of E.T. Paul looks amazing and he's so funny. But the story is a bit weak.

Ooh, do you know how tempting it is for me to look at spoilers?! Very tempting. :devil:
I won't do it, though, I can be a good gal. http://www.cool-smileys.com/images/angel8.gif

Think I will go see "Paul" this week, could do with a few laughs.

[Bev Vincent]

Hereafter, directed by Clint Eastwood starring Matt Damon. Essentially three films in one, one of which is French with subtitles. Almost too difficult to watch the tsunami recreation in the beginning. An interesting look at people's drive to know what happens next. I have a theory about Damon's abilities: I don't think he was seeing the hereafter. I think he was reading the minds of his subjects and telling them the things they needed to hear about lost loved ones.

[fushingfeef]

Thanks for the "Paul" review. I'm a big fan of those Simon Pegg movies so I'll get around to watching this one.
"Doubt" was great. Meryl Streep knocked it out of the park.

[JellybeanJay]

We watched Skyline on the weekend, what a horrible movie, 2 hours of my life I will never get back :laugh:

[JellybeanJay]

Paul: Pretty good. I had no idea it was essentially a remake of E.T. Paul looks amazing and he's so funny. But the story is a bit weak.


Thanks for the Paul review. My kids really want to see it because their grampa's name is Paul, too bad its rated R and not meant for little eyes and ears!

[devernxo]

Watchin Frozen at the moment.

[jacobtlong]

I watched Tin Cup starring Kevin Costner, Renne Russo, and Cheech Marin last night. It's a golf movie with a love story attached to it. Decent movie, but it took three hours to watch with all the freaking commercials.

[keto]

'100 Feet' with Famke Janssen - really enjoyed it...it made me jump :eek2:

[tower-obsession]

We just got done watching The Jacket. It was a good movie, kinda weird, but I liked the story.

[Brian]

Thanks for the Paul review. My kids really want to see it because their grampa's name is Paul, too bad its rated R and not meant for little eyes and ears!

Definitely NOT for Kids. Its all about the potty-mouth humor. :laugh:

[Brian]

I caught most of "Blame it on Rio" the other day on cable. I have mixed feelings. Its a fun and sexy comedy but still a little creepy. That girl was only 17 when she made the film. Yet she's topless in every other scene. I'm no prude, but I'm not sure if that would be legal today? - Even if they shot outside the US. Anyway, its classic 80s cheese. Or is it?

[sam peebles]

I watched Cronos, an early Guillermo del Toro film, with Ron Pearlman as the bad guy. It was an interesting new take on vampires, and I always love Pearlman, but its pacing was slow, and I don't know if it was my connection or the way the movie was shot, but it seemed to be running around 30 frames per second or so (I don't think it was my internet, as everything else I watched looked fine). It gave any movement a jerky-quality that was distracting.

[Raoul Duke]

Machete
Coming To America
Scary Movie

[jacobtlong]

I finally got around to watching the original Wall Street starring Charlie Sheen (before he started "winning") and Michael Douglas. Great movie. Kind of lost me with all the technical dialogue, but I got the general idea of what they were saying.

Way of the Dragon starring Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. I'd never seen this one before and I thought it was pretty good. I recommend not watching the english-dubbed version. It's weird and distracting seeing Bruce Lee speaking english while the words don't match the movements of his mouth. The final duel at the end of the movie between Lee and Norris was amazing.

[Jojo87]

I saw Wicker Man today and it was not my favorit horror movie. I wasn't even scary.

[jacobtlong]

I saw Wicker Man today and it was not my favorit horror movie. I wasn't even scary.

The original or the remake? The original is much better than the remake with Nicholas Cage, IMO.

[jacobtlong]

Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men (original), and The Hill (this movie proves that Sean Connery could be a great actor outside of James Bond, IMO). Sidney Lumet was a fantastic director and I think these films are among his very best.

[sam peebles]

Watched the Other Guys. It was a decent comedy.

Re-watching the original Die Hard for the billionth time. By far one of the greatest action movies ever. What's impressed me so far on this re-watch is how intelligent the villains are. They aren't bumbling fools, and Bruce Willis is often forced to flee and retreated when confronted head-on by them.

[SHEEMIEE]

time crimes -itallian - with a real time traveller theme and it all fits into place. even after working it out when the credits go up.

unlike Primer - ive watched 5 times and cant get my head around still

[LateSunset]

I watched Hannibal two days ago, definetly a masterpiece, however I prefered Jodie Foster as Starling.

[doowopgirl]

Just saw The Way Back. Terriffic flick. Very surprising who gets back and who doesn't. Won't say any more. Just watch it.

[Jojo87]

The original or the remake? The original is much better than the remake with Nicholas Cage, IMO.

I saw the version with Nicolas Cage. So it's was the remake.

[Sean]

Watched Cyrus last night. Thought that since Jonah Hill and John C Riley were in it, it would be hilarious...but not so much. Total indie film. Also watched The Haunting of Molly Hartley on Stars (unedited) and thought it was going to be more like Emily Rose but not even close. Molly had more false alarms in it (girl opens closet and cat jumps out type stuff) than a high school on April Fool's Day. Outside of one or two scenes w/Molly's mom, not a whole lot happened that was scary. On the brightside of things though, the new Pirates movie has zombies in it! So I got that going for me, which is nice.

[devernxo]

1408 :)

[sam peebles]

I watched Survival of the Dead, the most-recent in the Romero series. By far my least favorite. It was laughable it was so bad. The majority of the film takes place on a little island off of Delaware, and yet the majority of its inhabitants had Irish accents. Really didn't make any sense.

[cat in a bag]

We watched Devil last night. It was ok, I just wasn't very impressed with the "twist" at the end. Not much of a twist, for me. I was thinking the whole time that the cop was the devil, I was highly distracted by his hairline--he had a wicked widow's peak! :laugh:

[Terry B]

The A Team and it was so much fun to watch!

[aintshesweet]

The last movie I watched was "127 Hours" with James Franco. It is based on a true story of an adventurous mountain climber who finds himself "stuck" in a precarious situation. Amazing survival story. It does become a little gruesome, but it was worth watching.

[JayneH]

watched Dinner for Scmucks on the weeked ... love Steve Carrell ... bit of a slow start but the second half of the movie was hilarious !

[sam peebles]

Saw this movie Miracle Beach--it's from the early nineties, about this loser that finds a genie lamp on the beach and turns his life around. The movie was terrible (my girlfriend was nostalgic about it--I'd never seen it before), but it surprised me that it probably could've gotten a PG rating, there's no violence or swearing in it, except for a ton of nudity. And apparently you get unlimited wishes, not three.

[Jojo87]

I don't know if I can call it a movie. But I saw miniserie Shining today. Still very good as I re-watched again.

[fljoe0]

I recently picked up The Good, The Bad and The Ugly on blu-ray. Of course, the movie is great but on the blu-ray, the film has been restored and it looks fantastic. There was about 20 minutes of the movie cut out for the American release in 1966 and that has been added back in. There are a ton of extras too. This version of Clint is the closest thing you can get to Roland.

If you have a blu-ray player, there is this website I go to that reviews blu-rays. All the movies are reviewed and the quality of the blu-ray is reviewed as well. This site will tell you if you are getting a cheap transfer job or a spectacular blu-ray. I find it very useful if I'm looking to purchase a blu-ray movie.

[jacobtlong]

I watched The Verdict starring Paul Newman last night. Another great movie directed by Sidney Lumet and Paul Newman gave a fantastic performance. It was funny seeing Jack Warden in The Verdict because I remember him as the suicidal judge in ...And Justice For All.

[devernxo]

30 days of night :) amazing vampire film.

[BecciFlagg]

Remake version of 'Salem's Lot

[devernxo]

Girl, interrupted :L quite good. :P didnt think it would

[Lina]

Tangled. I love Disney cartoons and this one is definitely worth watching. It's one of the best cartoons I've seen in a few years. I absolutely loved it.

[kingricefan]

Re-watched David Lynch's Lost Highway. Man, David Lynch can take the most ordinary thing and turn it into something frightening. Robert Blake (TV's Barretta) is absolutely chilling in this film with his deliverence of lines like 'We've met before.'!! Creepy, creepy, creepy role. Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette are great too. I love's me some David Lynch films!! Muholland Drive is a classic! I could watch that film over and over and never get bored with it. So many layers and nuances to it and so-o many interpretations as to what it really is about. Naomi Watts does an incredible job here. She deserved an Oscar for her part.

[Elemeno P]

Zombieland.....it actually gave me a lot of chuckles.

[sdb_1970]

'Shadow of a Doubt' (1943) - film #4 in my home Hitchcock marathon ... I had high expectations for this one, but to tell you the truth, I really liked 'Rebecca' (1940) better. At times you would think you are watching a ghost story, but it's patent Hitchcock mystery all the way to the end. And Joan Fontaine is really outstanding. If you are one of those persons who are not turned off by older films, I highly recommend.

[Terry B]

I watched the new "Alice in Wonderland" with Johnny Depp. What a delightful movie.

[sam peebles]

I saw Salt with Angelina Jolie. I love Jolie, but this movie was just okay. Jason Bourne would kick the crap outta Evelyn Salt.

[sam peebles]

I watched quite a few movies over the weekend...

Gangs of New York - love Daniel Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher.

Robocop - Probably been twenty years since I watched this, and didn't remember anything about it. Was shocked by the level of violence. Robocop shoots some guy in the b**ls!

Return of the Living Dead - Classic. One of my favorite zombie movies of all time.

Maverick - Say what you will about Mel Gibson now, but he's extremely likable as Bret Maverick, and this is just a happy, funny, all-around enjoyable movie. I wish they made more popcorn films half as good as this.

The Bourne Identity - Perhaps the best action trilogy of all time?

[Elemeno P]

The Other Guys - another movie that surprised me with some good laughs. Marky Mark trying to be funny is funny in itself.

[fljoe0]

Young Adam with Ewan McGregor. Very bleak story, great acting and direction keep the tension up throughout this one. Probably not for everyone but I thought it was excellent. Can anyone who may have seen this or read the book tell me what "Young Adam" is referring to? There is no one named Adam or any mention of any named Adam in this movie.

[fljoe0]

Winter's Bone - Outstanding movie. A very dark and bleak tale (Anyone notice I seem to like dark and bleak movies?) that takes place in the Ozarks. It's about a 17 year old girl who because of a drug dealing father has all of the family responsibilities and has two young siblings to look out for. Meth dealing dad has a court date and has disappeared. He put up their house as part of his bond and the girl has to find him to keep from losing their house. Part detective story, part portrait of rural poverty. Highly recommended.

[sam peebles]

Problem Child! Love Kramer as the Bowtie Killer. Of course, it's a pretty terrible movie, but I knew that going in.

[jacobtlong]

Anvil! The Story of Anvil - this is a documentary about the Canadian metal band Anvil. The documentary follows the band and Lips the singer as they try to scrounge for money to make their thirteenth album. Despite being heralded by their peers and being around for many years they never hit it big. In fact, it wasn't until this documentary was made that Anvil really got the attention they deserved. Very nice documentary. IMO. The moral of this story is that hard work, sacrifice, and persistence will get you what you deserve even if it takes twenty-five years.

[devernxo]

number 23 :) someone watch it, its amazing ;)

[Alexandra19]

127 Hours and it was breathtaking.
I don't understand why The Social Network won the Oscar for the best adapted new item because the two movies were competing and I think Danny Boyle made a way better job than David Fincher.
Well it was about this Aron Ralston story who got stuck under a rock while exploring Blue John Canyon and stayed like that 5 days before cutting his own arm to get released. I happened to have a bad impression about the movie before I saw it as I expected it to be quite boring : 1h30 of a man stuck under a rock, you'd better be good if you want to create suspense. Well, not only Boyle managed to do it, but he made something really brilliant, even more than Slumdog Millionaire was. It has this black comedy touch that we also find in Trainspotting and man, the tendon scene... I'd better not think about it !
Anyway, I recommend it, it's really worth it !

[Sigmund]

The Switch with Jason Batemen and Jennifer Aniston. Romantic comedy. And they lived happily ever after. Yay!

[jacobtlong]

Metallica: Some Kind of Monster - another documentary and one that is worth watching if you are a hardcore fan or if you were wondering what went on in their freaking minds while they made the St. Anger album. This documentary proves that the lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is probably the only sane member of this band and the only one with any kind of humility or humor about himself.

After firing Jason Newstead, their bassist of fourteen years, the band brings in a psychiatrist to help them patch things up between themselves before they audition a new bassist.

Drummer Lars Ulrich and Vocalist/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield are the two huge egos that are the only real reason that a psychiatrist was even needed at all. They are the reason for all of the drama in Metallica and in this documentary. Both of them seriously need a kick in pants, if you ask me.

The interviews with Jason Newstead and Dave Mustaine (a former member of Metalllica and the founder and frontman for the metal band Megadeth) are an extra touch that I enjoyed.

All in all it is a good documentary about a band at its worst making their worst album.

[Terry B]

Watched Fair Game about Valerie Plame and I highly recommend it.

[Jojo87]

I saw Paranormal Activity 2 yesterday. I even got scared a few times.

[sam peebles]

Saw this scifi horror flick called Altered. It's a straight-to-dvd flick, but it was better than I expected.

[gniknehpets]

Made my husband go to Bridesmaids with me this weekend. I laughed so hard I snorted... I heard men in there laughing even harder than I was! My husband described it as "The Hangover" for women. If you want something very lighthearted and sure to make you giggle (even you guys) this is the movie to see.

[kingricefan]

Watched Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows last night. Not much longer to go till we get to see the end of the series! :wow::down:

[~Ally~]

Last night I watched "Mommie Dearest."

I still have doubts as to whether Joan Crawford was as much of a monster as her daughter Christina claimed, especially since her other two daughters--who conveniently aren't mentioned in the movie--claim to have had an enjoyable childhood. I think it's awful this woman did not have the opportunity to defend herself since the movie was made posthumously.

Either way, I love this movie. Faye Dunaway's portrayal of Crawford is extremely over the top, and camp at times. Okay, it's camp ALL the time, but she acts everybody--apart from "young" Christina--off the screen.

[JellybeanJay]

We went to Fast Fave a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! Vin Diesel and The Rock, what more could you want! By far the best in the Fast and Furious series!

Saw this scifi horror flick called Altered. It's a straight-to-dvd flick, but it was better than I expected.

Yeh, I watched this with Dawnie (Sknut70) a few months back. I didn't hate it but definitely won't ever watch it again.

The friendships of the guys, and alien subplot reminded me of Dreamcatcher (movie version) and I wouldn't be surprised if the writers had taken some inspiration from that.

Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different - This was the first of the Python movies, but this is really just a "best of" Flying Circus. Says so on the DVD case. Although there are a few skits that I thought could have been put in the movie instead of others. I think The Meaning of Life (just my opinion :)) is a much better skit movie, but ANFSCD is pretty good. The Dead Parrot and the Dirty Fork are two of my favorite Python skits and I'm glad they are in the movie.

My dad laughed, but mom didn't think it was funny at all. She thought it was stupid. Oh, well. :down:

My Cousin Vinny - funny movie. Joe Pesci may make fun of grits in this movie, but that is a forgivable sin. Marisa Tomei gives a great performance although I'm not sure I would call it Oscar-worthy. And Fred Gwynne is great as the judge.

Insidious - James Wan
A subpar Poltergeist wannabe. Too much is shown and the ending was obvious.

Insidious was rubbish, i saw it. It looked like they had taken old props from star wars and darth maurs face. It was incredibly stupid and so not scary.

Last night I watched "Mommie Dearest."

I still have doubts as to whether Joan Crawford was as much of a monster as her daughter Christina claimed, especially since her other two daughters--who conveniently aren't mentioned in the movie--claim to have had an enjoyable childhood. I think it's awful this woman did not have the opportunity to defend herself since the movie was made posthumously.

Either way, I love this movie. Faye Dunaway's portrayal of Crawford is extremely over the top, and camp at times. Okay, it's camp ALL the time, but she acts everybody--apart from "young" Christina--off the screen.
This movie has some of the most unforgettable lines in it: 'No more wire hangers EVER!!' 'Christina, why must it always be a contest with you????' This movie was made by a first time director, if I'm remembering right, and it shows. It derailed Faye Dunaways career for quite a few years too as she was so over-the-top in it (director's fault, not the actress'). I won't say I love this movie, but if it's on TV I have to stop what I'm doing and watch it. Maybe Crawford wasn't such a horrible mother as portrayed in the book and movie, but you might want to check out just exactly why she had such an aversion to those pesky wire hangers....... and it might change your mind some.:oo:
