What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

[Elijah]

We can start with that. But, also, please feel free to discuss anything movie related. Recommendations, criticisms, feedback, etc.

[Elijah]

Alright, I'll go first. I watched Milk this afternoon and wondered why I waited this long to watch it. Great movie, very moving. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for what he did for SF/The Castro and queers everywhere.

[Ms. Tabitha]

T and I saw "Water for Elephants" at the Cannery.
His mother read the book before she saw the movie. She told me she thought they had left out so much and I should read the book.
T has downloaded the book onto the kindle for our reading enjoyment.

[scootebaby]

my son and i went to see Fast Five on Friday...Last Friday we went to see Madeas Big Happy Family--the most hilarious thus far--i highly recommend it.. Jo and i watched the Lane Frost movie today "8 Seconds"

waiting for Bridesmaids,the new Pirates of Caribbean,and Harry Potter movies to come out

the last movie I watched was " The Girl "

Africian cats

[JAGG]

Oh sorry I guess I forgot comment on the movie I last saw, Africian Cats. Well it wasn't bad, but I could have stayed home and watched the discovery channel for free, same thing.

I haven't heard of it. Was it good? What is it about?

[Ms. Tabitha]

I haven't heard of it. Was it good? What is it about?



A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling Depression-era circus as their vet. There are so many characters that make the movie interesting, except for Rosie. You fall in love with Rosie. She is the one elephant in the circus, a wise old beast that only understands Polish. She is smart enough to pull up the stake that holds her in place, stick her trunk into the big container of lemonade when no one is looking, then return with her stake and pound it back into the ground. The owner of the circus beats her and his wife throughout the movie yet,she does, in the end, gain her revenge. It's a love story. Good guy, gets pretty girl. Good guy grows old to tell his story. I loved it and after I read the book I will watch the movie, again.

:bunchflowers:

[Martina]

On Netflix, a movie called Dangerous Beauty. It's not recent -- 1998. i liked it a lot. It's about a 16th century Venetian courtesan.

[Mitmo01]

Suckerpunch--it was an awesome movie if you like action and a mindfuck...visually and mentally stunning....

[Mitmo01]

IM actually really glad we saw Suckerpunch on the big screen i really thought it rocked

[Elijah]

I saw Love and Other Drugs last night...I was concerned I wasn't going to like it at all in the beginning, then they pulled out an average romantic comedy. They really missed in a few places where they could have deepened the story. Of course, not everybody likes deep. :|

[The_Lady_Snow]

We watched "Black Swan" on Sunday...

Still trying to figure out WHY she won an Oscar..

I haven't seen it yet, is it worth a look?

[The_Lady_Snow]

It's an excellent psycho thriller.

[Greyson]

'Mildred Pierce' starring Kate Winslet on HBO. I was very surprised I liked this movie that was aired in a miniseries format.

The story of a strong woman that was raising her daughters in depression era Glendale, a middle class suburb of Los Angeles. There was betrayal, romance, sexual tension, class struggle, redemption, mother-daughter relationship with all of its ups and downs, daddy's little girl/daughter idealizing her father that left the family. A woman that rises to the top both professionally and in her life.

We really liked Love and Other Drugs because we like the actors...okay, LOVE Anne Hathaway...but because how many love stories show a partner dealing with Parkinson's? Fantastic.


I haven't seen it yet, is it worth a look?

Black Swan was creepy good. Definitely worth a look.

The last movie we saw was Due Date.

[Sparkle]

The two most recent films I've seen:

'Get Low'
starring Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Bill Murray
Its about a hermitted old man who decides to plan (and attend) his own funeral.

I really wanted to like it; because the cast is excellent, the score is good, the concept is original and the humour is fantastically dry - a bit like 'Brother Where Art Thou' - but it was way too slow moving for me. I kept dozing off, I tried to finish it 3x; and never succeeded.

'Elling'
a Norwegian film about an odd couple, of sorts. Two mentally challenged men are placed in a half-way home together after spending a few years in an institution. It is a 'coming of age' film, of sorts. :)

This film was charming and very funny. The acting and writing were excellent. I really enjoyed it. It was touching and genuine in its portrayal of the characters and their issues. And wasn't exploitative in its humour. I laughed, out loud, a lot.

[Gemme]

w7NmaMgIy0U

Excellent!

[Cowboi]

Thor, and Fast Five. Thor 3D was great!!! Fast Five was good.

[asphaltcowboi]

Burlesque....pretty cool movie

[wolfbittenpoet]

The King's Speech

I love this movie. I stutter. I have gotten better but when I am tired or frustrated it just happens. I lisp as well. The way that George the VI worked to overcome is just brilliant.

[Sachita]

Just watched "Limitless"

http://www.awooh.com/limitless-online/

I liked it. I kept thinking "Gimme some of that" lol

Can you imagine a pill that allowed you to access all of your brain? What ever would you find?

[Elijah]

I just watched Fall From Grace, a documentary about Fred Phelps and The Westboro Baptist Church on Netflix. I will warn you, it's really tough to watch. I haven't seen so much hate for hates sake since I watched something similar about the KKK. Generation after generation of indoctrination. Heartbreaking.

[Gemme]

Growing Op and The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard.

yQZkxVzFBx0

dDXuLtz58Gs

Growing Ops was sweet and not bad overall and I loved that the guy from CSI was the dad. The Goods was purposefully bad, but we liked it. Will Ferrell had a hand in it, if that helps to clarify what I mean.

[jules5041]

I saw Water For Elephants yesterday. It was really good. I would recommend it to others if you are looking for a good Saturday afternoon flick. Not a date movie.

[scootebaby]

Jo and I just got back from seeing Bridesmaid...it was cute..not as funny as we thought,but had its moments.

[Kobi]

I watched the documentary by Darryl Roberts called "America The Beautiful."
Is about America's obsession with beauty, the cultural and economic issues, the health issues,
the racism and sexism, the procedures, the FDA......it was fascinating and informative!

[Gemme]

We watched Casino Jack and The Green Hornet courtesy of Redbox today.

Casino Jack was not as funny as we'd expected, considering the cast, but it wasn't horrible. Ebon didn't particularly care for it, but I had a bit more patience for it, I think. It's very interesting how things in government work, especially since it's based on a true story.

w1igM1mfzPI

The Green Hornet was not bad. Kind of fun and cute and the action is good, but I kept wanting to smack Seth upside the head for his stupid, harrassing, ignorant comments. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he'd co-wrote and co-produced it. Good for him. I still want to smack him, though.

Watched No Strings Attached on dvd over the weekend, it was decent. But then again, I like Natalie Portman so...

Watched History Boys I love this movie. Perhaps the best thing is history is written by liars. If you can lie you can be a historian.

I watched this last night and it's one of the best movies I've seen in awhile.

[RadiantYearning]

The last movie I saw at the movies was Source Code ... it was good, but it's definitely a movie you need to be tuned in to while watching.

:koolaid:

[Mitmo01]

G-Force which was soooo cute

and a korean movie called "Oldboy" which was good but disturbing....dont watch it if your depressed it was just sad....

[Fancy]

Waiting for Superman - a documentary about US schools and the educational system. I thought it was eye opening, if a bit dramatic, but it did well to convey the director's message.

[Canela]

I saw BRIDESMAIDS this weekend and it was fabulous!

[Lillie]

I actually watched "I love you Beth Cooper" for the first time this weekend. and i found it funny..I think Im digressing :blink:

[Dutch Leonard]

I watched Tideland, directed by Terry Gilliam and Blues Brothers 2000, a musical with car crashes.

[Gemme]

Watched No Strings Attached on dvd over the weekend, it was decent. But then again, I like Natalie Portman so...

02b-qiquWqM

We TRIED to see that but Redbox was out of them.

:blink:

We watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows tonight.

I'm ticked. That's all I'm going to say. They irritated me fairly early on, but they did a bad, bad thing in the last 15 minutes of the movie.

[Canela]

I saw BRIDESMAIDS this weekend and it was fabulous!

I think I laughed the loudest in the theater! So hilarious!

[Camo Eagle]

Unstoppable
The Conspiracy of Fear

[Martina]

The Fighter. Good, i guess. Great performances that's for sure.

[Random]

Iron Man 2
The Legacy...

Mitmo hadn't ever seen the Legacy, so I made her watch it... She said it wasn't half bad for a seventies satanic thriller....

heh

Iron Man 2.. I like the cgi and the chick who played black widow did an outstanding job (except for the american accent when Natasha was russian) Maybe it would have been better on the big screen, but I felt like the story line was a bit light...

I have a hard time when they make comix into movies... If it's a comix that I know, then I nit pic it to death... I have a hard time *suspending belief*

[Camo Eagle]

Latest Chronicle of Narnia
Triage - great movie about the PTSD suffered by a war photographer.

[ruffryder]

Fast Five at the movies. wished there was more fast & furious racing but it was still bad ass. ****


No Strings Attached rented. I <3 it. Then again I like Kutcher's movies. This movie I will buy! *****

[Gemme]

This weekend, we saw Bridesmaids and both of us loved it.

At home, we've seen (via redbox and Netflix):

Backwash-it's hideous and a waste of an hour and a half. It ties with Punch Drunk Love for worst movie we've ever seen.

No Strings Attached-it was cute, though Natalie started to lose me towards the end. I wanted to smack her.

[EnderD_503]

Saw With Love from Le(z)banon and Pa(lez)stine at the Inside Out film festival here in Toronto. Was really great and ended with a talk about homosexuality in Egyptian film. I recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to see it.

[Fancy]

Recently watched...

Grand Torino (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205489/)

and

Million Dollar Baby (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405159/)

...and felt the director's view on life and harsh reality smacking me in the face. Both movies left me deep in thought.

[Camo Eagle]

Dark House
Cheesy B rated horror - dont waste your time.

[PinkieLee]

OMG.... we saw Bridesmaids a few days ago. I swear that I laughed so hard, I had tears rolling down my face! I think that we are even going back to see it again with D's mom!

**yep, this one is definitely gonna be added to the movie collection**

We watched Stone with Robert DeNiro and Ed Norton.
2 thumbs up!!!

Green Hornet
I thought it really captured the original radio serial. It was very very cool.

[kannon]

http://youtu.be/uHBnrJowBZE

the best movie I've seen this year.

[NJFemmie]

Despicable Me. Loved it.


http://pics.livejournal.com/karthikb/pic/0001h3cr

I'm playing catch up on my movies.

[pajama]

Pirates of the Carribean, On Stranger Tides.

You know, I have loved, loved, loved all of them. But really getting to number four in a series can get old. So I was very apprehensive about this one, specially since it didn't have Orlando Blume or the girl in it. Well it was still a great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I hope to see Thor soon, depends on what Mme is in the mood to see tomorrow night since I will be getting her off the mountain for the second time this year. LOL

[Andrew, Jr.]

Bridesmaids...hysterical. :hangloose:

[uglyboi]

The Gingerbread Man!

[Semantics]

Late last night I watched A Beautiful Life, which is a low budget film based on a play that I liked.

It didn't translate to film very well. Even Debi Mazar's four minutes as the hot librarian couldn't save it.

[Kobi]

The Way Back - Colin Farrell, Ed Harris

During WWII, Siberian gulag escapees walk 4000 miles overland to freedom in India.

A wonderful tribute to the human spirit, the will to survive, and the benefits of cooperation.

[Venus007]

Friends and Family

It was a campy movie about a gay couple who are also lieutenants for a mafia don.
One of the men is just beautiful in that cartoon way.
The story is silly and I found it to be charming.

[starryeyes]

Soul Surfer

It was very good and inspirational!! I recommend it!

[LaneyDoll]

I went Saturday with two friends to see "The Hangover 2." Yes it was funny, I think I like the first better but the second certainly had its moments.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Bridesmaids...hysterical. :hangloose:

OMG! It was so funny I almost wet myself!

[Apocalipstic]

Black Swan which was...creepomatic

[NJFemmie]

Black Swan which was...creepomatic


Now I have to see that one. Thanks :)

[foxyshaman]

I saw Jodie Foster's latest, The Beaver. I am split on whether or not I liked it. I thought the premise and the story were interesting. I like Jodie's directing abilities so it was a no brainer for me to go. Dealing with mind numbing life crashing depression on film can be tricky. While the movie offered no solutions, it was an interesting glimpse into "what could be". The movie was not so much a story (to me), but rather a snap shot.

[uglyboi]

"Stone"

I wanted to poke my eyes out after watching it.

[JakeTulane]

I went and saw the 4th installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Like pajara I had mixed feelings on seeing it too. I KNEW I would see .. it is Johnny Depp after all..and I own the first three in the series.. regardless of this movie not having Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in it.. I still HAD to see it.

I really liked it. However, you can absolutely tell that it was directed by a different director. Also, one of the main reasons I liked the first three movies was that they all had awesome special effects. This movie? I did not see alot of that. I am also not a huge Penelope Cruz fan. I think they could have picked someone different to be Jack's "interest".

In the end.. I will buy it when it comes out on dvd.. to add to My collection. Also, the way this movie ended ... I am guessing there will be a fifth installment as well. I will be looking forward to seeing what they put together next.

[Starbuck]

I was lucky enough to see two new movies last night. First I saw X-Men: First Class and then Kung Fu Panda 2.

The X-Men movie answered a LOT of questions I had from previous X-Men movies. It explains how Magneto came to be and how he and Professor X were freinds but yet became adversaries. In this movie you also meet the Professor's first class of students.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is cute and if you liked the first one, you'll like this second one. The Dragon Warrior finds out about where he comes from and saves China from certain destruction, all in the same trip.

We got into the 1st movie for $3.75 as a matinee and then walked into the second movie after using the bathroom...not bad for two movies!

[iamkeri1]

I saw "Pirates" last week-end. I had no particular feelings about her before I went, but thought Ms. Cruz was sexy as hell in this movie. Woman dressed masculine-ly swinging a sword and kicking ass? Oh yeah, I like it.
I thought it was the best of the series, pretty much for the same reason you found it lacking, Jake. The movie focused on the story rather than the special effects - the story is what I am all about.

Saw "Xmen First Class" last night. Loved it. Found the relationships believable., enjoyed the story, thought the scene of the young mutants fooling around showing off their skills to be both believeable and funny. Teenage humans can pretty much wreck a room showing off as well, LOL, Dang, I wish I could "smoke" my way from one place to another like the devil looking guy could. I did think it would have been an interesting twist if he had been one of the good guys rather than the rebels. Just a little too trite that the guy who looked like the devil would be a bad guy.

Further waxing philosophical, I found lots of points of comparison between the struggle of the mutants and the struggle we face as queer folk, especially the conflict between the mutants who could "hide" and those who were too blatantly who they were to be able to hide anything. Probably members of other minority groups could draw a similar parallel.
All in all a good film.
Smooches,
Keri

[Rockinonahigh]

I just finished watching the priginal of the Howling,with tv so crummy these days its nice to havhe a colection of over 200 movies to choose from.

[pajama]

I don't really keep up with who does what very often. So I didn't know the director had changed. Now it makes much more sense. I too was disappointed in the special effects. Or in this movie the more hoakey effects. But yeah, overall like it.

Tonight me and The Boy went to the drive-in. We saw Panda 2 and Thor. We like the first Kungfu Panda enough that we were like "eh why not". It was cute and there were several lines that I bust out laughin' hard at.

Thor was okay. I was expecting more I guess. I understand you can't develop a ton of story line in 2 hours, but I felt it was lacking somewhere. I didn't feel the Thor character developed very fully, or something. It was eh, okay. I did however love, LOVE, LOVE Anthony Hopkins as always. Damn, I don't care how old he gets there's something powerful about his roles that always work for me. grrrrr

[I'mOneToo]

I love Anthony Hopkins too, so I saw "Hannibal" recently -- everybody said if I liked Silence Of The Lambs, I'd love the sequel.

Blechhh.

:badscore:

:badscore:

It took a long time for Hannibal to grow on me. And that was soley because of both Anthony Hopkins and Hinnibal the character. I couldn't stand the way they portrayed Clarice. And felt personally betrayed by Jodie Foster. LOL

The book however was a whole 'nother story....and ending I might ad. I did like it alot.

I hated both the book and movie Hannibal Rising. I liked both Red Dragons, although the first one with William Petersen held more closely to the books.

[Merlin]

Was disappointed with pirates 4 .. Other three were so cool.

Hangover 2 .. Loved it .. The monkey deserves an Oscar !!

[MysticOceansFL]

The last movie I had seen was Saturday " Thor" and it was sorta ok.

[Elijah]

Last night I finally watched Black Swan...now I'm calling My therapist.

I liked Hannibal least of the series. I loved Red Dragon, maybe even more than Silence of the Lambs.

LMAO got back from Bridesmaids last night and OMG funniest movie in a VERY long time...very well done. I kept wondering why everyone was ranting and raving about a movie that I personally thought looked less than appealing but it was amazing

Saw I am Number Four. Entertaining. Updated Terminator. I like Arnold better tho.

Getting ready to watch Green Hornet next.

[~BluEydFemme~]

The last movie I saw was a fantasy called Tuck Everlasting starring: Scott Baristow, Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Alexis Bledel, and Joshua Jackson. It was a wonderful movie! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good love story or fantasy flick!! :moonstars:

[tapu]

You mean, in a theater, right? Let's see, musta been Jaws. The first one. (I'm not much one for theaters.)

[Dutch Leonard]

I saw that recently, I liked it. Nothing with Johnny Depp disappoints me. Angelina Jolie is ok too, I used to have a very negative reaction to her, I guess I resented her in Gone in 60 Seconds, maybe I should watch that again to see if I am over it. I thought she was good in Salt, too.

[Leigh]

I havent seen the inside of a movie theatre in months so Netflix it is ~ last two movies I saw were The Final Destination & National Lampoon's Van Wilder :-)

Love both movies!!!!

[Kobi]

The Green Hornet - I thought it was going to be a lame kid type movie. Was very entertaining, lots of action, nice humor, and I loved Kato.

[I'mOneToo]

Shutter Island. I like Leonardo di Caprio, but he'll never shed his squeaky-clean face no matter if he lets his stubble grow for a movie or not. He is really an actor. Watching Ruffalo in scenes with him, it's like he has this weird smirk as if he's just enjoying watching Leo act too, and has a few lines to throw in every now and then.

I won't spoil the ending for others,though it was spoiled for me, still enjoyed watching it. Some of the continuity errors are weird, but there's a lot of hoo-haa about it being intentional on Scorcese's part. He'll never tell ;)

[pajama]

Got The King's Speech yesterday from Netflix. I got it mostly because it was reviewed and awarded so highly. I really didn't have a clue what it was about. Wow! I really liked it.

[foxyshaman]

Sin Nombre... excellent and very well done. Foreshadow and everything.

[Ebon]

Killers, it was funny.

[Canela]

Midnight In Paris. It was quite enjoyable.

[dark_crystal]

"Tree of Life"

From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, comes
The Tree of Life, an impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life. Winner of the Palme d'Or (top honors) at this year's Cannes International Film Festival

Key word: impressionistic!!!!!!!

[Jett]

Bridesmaids... and it was funny as hell!

[Cowboi]

Saw The Green Lantern 3D last night. Loved it.

[DapperButch]

Has anyone seen it? We are considering going to see it at 5pm today. It has gotten mixed reviews by the public.

[Elijah]

I just watched The Kings Speech...I was a little suspect of it, but I ended up enjoying it very much. I really loved the character of Geoffrey Rush, who played the man who helped the king. Well worth a look.

[Starrynightaw]

I saw "The Hangover 2" last night. Amazing.

[Starbuck]

Saw Green Lantern...I really enjoyed it, a lot!

Then we went to Bridesmaids and despite the funny parts, I really wasn't that impressed. The best part of the whole movie is when they got food poisoning...other than that, it was almost a difficult movie to watch.

[TIMBERWOLF]

Just got back from seeing
Green Lantern
YES it was a great movie.

[Dallas2010]

I watch Jarhead with my pre-military son... I'd seen it before but now that he is going into the service I watched again with him.

[Bohemian Rhapsody]

I just watched a movie called " Ran" pronounced Rahn. Its a Japanese King Lear. Very excellent movie.

Independent Lens: Two Spirit

I caught that too. I recorded it as well. I have run across the four genders in my shamanic studies, quite often as a matter of fact. I thought all in all it was a great show.

I finally watched the social network. I loved the screenplay. Very quick, sharp and spot on for the acting. I was surprised I liked it. But I do like Sorkin screenplays/writing. I was not familiar with the Director, but who cares... thumbs up from me.

Cant decide if I liked it. Lisa will always be Phoebe from Friends, and tackling a role where she is the ultimate bitch of an ex wife just wasnt plausible to me.

[Gemme]

Naked Ambition by photographer Michael Grecco. Ebon and I thought he did an excellent job and we are on the hunt for his book now.

What was the last movie that I saw?

I can't remember.

Who am I?

[Andrew, Jr.]

I watched "Hereafter" w/Matt Damon, and "Just Go With It" w/Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston. Both were ok. Nothing spectacular. Just entertaining.

[Diavolo]

I just rewatched "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf". Just an amazing film. There's the craziness of the script (the play really) and then there's the photography, the way the thing is shot , the direction was amazing and seeing them make Elizabeth Taylor look ugly was amazing.

YouTube - &#x202a;Bad Teacher Trailer&#x202c;&rlm;

Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz is very funny.

[InsatiableHeart]

I went with friends last night and saw Transformers in 3D!! What an awesome movie

[NJFemmie]

I've recently watched Stone and Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
Stone was an ok movie (I guess). Nothing to rave about - it left me in an odd mood.
Boy was a good movie if you are interested in that subject ... I certainly did not expect the ending.

[pajama]

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2. It was actually kinda cute.

Red Riding Hood. Finally got this. I always thought the previews looked cool, but part of me kept thinking "Really? A movie about the children's story. I bet it'll be lame." Plus it kinda had an M Night Shyamalan look to it and I am generally disappointed in his movies. So I wasn't expecting much. I really liked it. The filming and costuming was actually pretty good. The use of the red and the way the wolf looked and interacted with Red, was very hot. Plus the whole story and Gary Oldman didn't suck. :D

Now getting ready to pop in Rango, the one with Johnny Depp in it. hmmmmm We'll see how that goes.

[Jess]

Recently viewed: Burlesque; cute/sweet movie, it def gave me a different view of Aguilera, she has a lot more talent than I had thought previously.
The Rite: Anthony Hopkins is of course, amazing... good flick, kinda creepy.
Insidious: best "scare" flick I have seen in a while. Actually "jumped" at a couple shots!
Adjustment Bureau: Good story and interesting in that kind of "Inception" sort of how things are affected. Very modern day forbidden love story.
Sucker Punch: If you're into the CGI style fantasy/graphic novel, it was awesome. Great soundtrack and tons of action, albeit a bit hard to follow the internal story line, the visuals and action did keep me engaged. ( or maybe it was my inner 17 year old boy) whichevah... I dug it. LOL.

[ScandalAndy]

Sunday night i saw "Gigola" at the Qfest queer film festival. I love foreign films and this one didn't disappoint. This is a French film about a young butch in 1960s Paris. When the credits started to roll I immediately felt the need to talk about it. Personally, I felt there was a lot to process. Some of the most powerful bits are left open to the interpretation of the audience, and the conversation afterward was amazing.

I just rented and watched The Lincoln Lawyer. I am not a huge Matthew McConaughey fan. The premise of the movie is that he plays a sleazy lawyer who has a crisis of conscience when finding himself representing a rich kid who is guilty as sin. Now the guilty as sin does not bother him.. (because he takes payoffs all the time to represent the guilty and get them off) however, he finds out this rich kid killed a woman he put another man in prison for years ago. The movie also stars Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, and William H. Macy.

I would not buy it to add to My collection. In the end I was glad I only paid a dollar for it through the RedBox rental machine.

Oh and the Lincoln part of the title.. he has a driver that takes him around in an old black Lincoln and that is his mobile office... right down to the back seat being littered with a ton of paperwork.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Midnight in Paris.

A better life.

[Gemme]

We saw Transformers and Horrible Bosses. Good flicks!!!!

[StillettoDoll]

Social network great movie

[Jett]

Harry Potter, I was coerced as it's not my thing, I wasn't bored at all although it was slightly long (but worth it because next time she has to accompany me to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" haha ;)

[MsTinkerbelly]

Harry Potter, I was coerced as it's not my thing, I wasn't bored at all although it was slightly long (but worth it because next time she has to accompany me to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" haha ;)

I can't wait to see the movie after seeing the previews....my Dad and I saw all of the original movies together, and I have always enjoyed the "alternate universe/reality" type movie.

[PinkieLee]

Last weekend was a movie watching marathon for us...

the final Harry Potter movie ~ LOVED IT!

Lincoln Lawyer ~ only because of Matthew McConaughey ;)

The Rite ~ scarey exorcist stuff, but pretty good.

Jo Go With It ~ Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler... funny!

Larry Crowne ~ Tom Hanks & Julia Roberts. Ugh, could have been better.

[Merlin]

Bridesmaids - dissapointing,it had so much scope.

Can't wait for captain america,am an x men fan.

[scootebaby]

Jo,the Prince and I went to see Harry Potter!
next one-i think-is gonna be planet of the apes(date night)...unless we decide to go see Zoo Keeper first.

[I'mOneToo]

a crap load of movies. most of them are 'sickbed' movies so take the choices with a grain of salt.

Jaws -- the original. Have not seen it since it was in the theater (swaddled in a baby buggy, *ahem* okay maybe not). I still like it!

Conquest of The Planet Of The Apes -- uh, don't even ask me why. Still trying to figure out why I wanted to watch it, and since I fell asleep after the first ten minutes can't even tell you what (if anything) it was about.

The Others -- kinda spooky in the end, but a snoozer getting there. Not Kidman's finest, but I still like her.

The Lovely Bones -- the main character, a teenage girl, seemed a lot like Chloe Sevigny. Her name in real life is Saoirse Ronan, which is an anagram for "oars rise anon" which is what I dubbed her. Her character's name was Susie Salmon. Girl gets a camera for her birthday and takes a lot of pictures, girl meets creepy neighbor, girl has bad things happen to her, and director gets a lot of special effects money and sort of ruins what was probably a better book.

My Life -- Michael Keaton stars in a 9.0 magnitude tear jerker. Do not busy yourself with filling out your last will and testament, your advance directives, or making arrangements for "pre-need mortuary services" while watching this movie. Another with Nicole Kidman, I must like her if I keep seeing her movies.

The Sting -- Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Eileen Brennan, Robert Shaw and a ragtime score (evoking nightmarish recollections of 7th grade band practice, with Mr. C telling the clarinetists to sloooowww dooowwwwwnnnnn and the flutes to speed up!). A great movie.

Georgia Rule -- for probably the fifth time. It's too bad that Lindsey Lohan got such bad press during the making of this film, because it's a pretty good movie. It's got a tough premise to start with, but with Garry Marshall directing it isn't heavy handed. I loved Jane Fonda in this. Her role was sort of a buffer between Felicity Huffman and Lilo (mother and daughter, respectively -- Jane is grandma/Georgia). It's kind of gross seeing Cary Elwes play a step-dad/molester, but somebody had to do it. Dermot Mulroney co-stars as a veterinarian who has mostly human patients, I just love him cuz I LIKE his name. Though I usually confuse him with Dylan McDermott. Probably because it's almost an anagram.

Bridges Of Madison County -- heh. Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. 'nuff said.

The Enforcer -- for the billionth time. I just like watching Tyne Daly. Nah. Clint!

The Outlaw Josey Wales -- once upon a time was the movie I'd use to put myself to sleep. Haven't watched in a long time, had to dust it off and see if Clint was still the roughest toughest cowboy on earth. Yup, he is! I might have a crush on him :|

The Switch -- not to be confused with "Switch" (which was a funny movie with Ellen Barkin). This vehicle was supposed to star Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, but they and all the other grownups got upstaged by a 7-year old. I don't want to spoil this one for any of you, I am sure you are clamoring to see this. Hint: there is a sperm scene.

The Silence Of The Lambs (again) -- to redeem myself after being force fed Hannibal a while back. Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster, superb.

Deliverance -- admittedly, in a vicodin haze for that one. I could not get through it otherwise. Beautiful scenery, horrible dialogue and just plain bad acting. Yet, it is now in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." I assume it's for the outdoor setting and not the, um, "scenes". Like Burt Reynolds said in his final scene: "ah don't remember nuthin" (don't want to, anyway).

[foxyshaman]

Young Victoria - I liked it. I do not know Queen Victoria history, so it was an interesting take on something I knew nothing about. Whether it is historically accurate I will never know, or care.

44 inch chest - LOVED IT!!! I like Ray Winstone which is why I taped it. The movie was unique, good one liners, great actors and some fantastic introspective scenes.

Edison and Leo - I love stop animation and this one did not disappoint me. I was tickled that Canadian places were featured in it. Like Flin Flon... when do you see Flin Flon Manitoba in a movie that is not sponsored by the Canadian Film Board??

[Elijah]

I tried to watch Dark Habits, I just couldn't...subtitles, camp and bad hair did Me in. No offense to the person who recommended it to Me. *toothy grin

[The_Lady_Snow]

If you've never seen it, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"

[Gentle Tiger]

If you've never seen it, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"

This was a great movie!

[Gentle Tiger]

I would definitely recommend Out of the Ashes. It will make you think and cause you to ride an emotional roller coaster. Very intense. I found it on Netflix.

[The_Lady_Snow]

Speaking of NetFlix,

The Fighter!! It's on instant play...

[Elijah]

If you've never seen it, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"

It was great, but it's also really rough, especially the ending. I have an incredibly tough time with movies about The Holocaust, I only made made it about 1/2 hour into Schindler's List and I had to turn it off.

I watched in horror the man cub kept coming in the room and I would shoo him away next thing out of his mouth was:

"Mom I've seen it at school"

:|<~~~ me

They never even explained what it was I had to:|. Grant just finished watching it he too agrees it's distressing. Truth can be.

[Gentle Tiger]

Just finished watching Black Book. Wow!
It's based on a true story. Intense. Part thriller, part mystery but mainly story of survival.

Yep, through Netflix.

[Hack]

Saw "Horrible Bosses" a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was hysterical. I mean, it's a no-brainer low-brow popcorn movie.

Going to see Captain America tomorrow with my housemate.

[T4Texas]

Alright, I'll go first. I watched Milk this afternoon and wondered why I waited this long to watch it. Great movie, very moving. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for what he did for SF/The Castro and queers everywhere.



I have a copy of Milk I've never watched and think I will sit down with it this weekend. Lately, Ive been checking a lot of PBS things from the library and watching everything from Mary Pickford to JFK's presidency. I love biography/A&E/American Masters and likeminded productions.

[JakeTulane]

I purchased this movie today on a whim (it was also on sale).. normally, I do not purchase a movie until I have watched it and feel I will want to watch it again. I have read about the storyline.. so it seems interesting enough. I more than likely watch it tomorrow and will stop back and let everyone know what I think.

I scrolled back a bit and tried to see if anyone else has seen it and posted their thoughts. I did not find anything (although it is late, and I could have that eyes glazed over insomnia look).

Has anyone else seen it? your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

[Hack]

I have watched Gran Turino. I liked it a lot. I watched it for two reasons. First, I like Clint Eastwood as a director and actor. Second, this movie was filmed in Michigan. Some have thought the storyline is indicative of Detroit, and it's really not.

I have also watched it and really enjoyed it. But I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan, post gunslinger phase. I also found it an interesting aside that it was filmed in Michigan, as I live here.

[Hack]

I watched "I Love You, Phillip Morris" last night. Loved it.

[Semantics]

I wasn't crazy about the new Harry Potter. It fell short.


I recently watched Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart and while it was sad and hard to watch it was also very good.

[Elijah]

I watched "I Love You, Phillip Morris" last night. Loved it.

Just got this from Netflix...looking forward to it.

[I'mOneToo]

I initially resisted watching it because from the trailers it seemed racist. But I was coaxed into it and told it wasn't really anti-Hmong. It being a Clint Eastwood product, I found the race issue treated with due sensitivity. Like most of his movies (even the westerns) it was really a love story -- love of humankind. I liked it. I own it now too, though I don't watch it unless I can pay full attention. There are always new subtle nuances that I didn't pick up before, it's always deeper and more interesting every time.

(dont know how to quote right half the time)

My Life in Ruins...goood fun. Have ice cream in the freezer.

The Lovely Bones--unnerving movie

[JakeTulane]

Thank you Jake, Eli, and One. I agree with your recommendations. I just finished watching it and I, too liked it very much. I am also glad I own it now as well. Odd that it should happen I end up buying it on a whim without seeing it first and it turning out that I enjoyed it.

I believe what I enjoyed about it the most (probably odd as well) the bits of humor here and there. Especially when he spits his chew and the old woman on the porch across the way spits her's as well.

Well done Clint, well done.

[TIMBERWOLF]

THOR

[MysticOceansFL]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2

[Elijah]

I just watched I Love You Phillip Morris, it had it's moments but overall I was underwhelmed. I have never been a fan of Jim Carey, this was no exception.

[Gemme]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2

We saw this in 3D today and really enjoyed it.

[JakeTulane]

I just purchased these movies.. all were in the bargain movie bin (which I love) except the Harry Potters.

Shawshank Redemption (no movie collection should be without this).

Presumed Innocent (an old Harrison Ford movie based on a novel by Scott Turow)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

(I have read all of the books and own them.. so I decided I would get the movies as well.. as I believe there are a couple I have not seen yet)

Diary of A Mad Black Woman (hysterically funny)

[Sparkle]

I just watched I Love You Phillip Morris, it had it's moments but overall I was underwhelmed. I have never been a fan of Jim Carey, this was no exception.

I really wanted to love this film. But I did not.

I'm also not a Jim Carrey fan though I *treble-heart* Ewan McGregor.
I thought the story/writing would be enough for me to get over my dislike of Jim Carrey. But no........There were comical moments, but overall it felt like a chore to watch it through to the end.

I have 'Mao's Last Dancer' at home from netflix; at some point in the next 2-months I hope to have time to watch it. :|

I also saw HP Deathly Hallows Pt 2, and loved it.

[JustLovelyJenn]

The X Files Movie... that's whats on right now.

[Elijah]

I agree, it did become a chore. Bad stereotypes and camp. Ugh.

Cowboys and Aliens... wasn't really predictable like I thought it would be, and kinda had you right from the beginning all the way to the end... great!

[JustLovelyJenn]

Kinky Boots... A personal favorite of mine!!

[Hack]

Been catching up on my Blu-ray viewing....

Wartime in Winter (a Dutch film) -- excellent if you like foreign films. Just really superb filmmaking -- not something the Dutch are readily known for, btw.

Lincoln Lawyer -- I am a fan of legal thriller novels, and this is one of the better legal thriller books made in to a movie, I think.

Source Code -- normally not a fan of sci-fi, but this came highly recommended. I liked it a lot.

No Strings Attached -- bad romantic comedy. To be honest, I only watched it because I think Natalie Portman is hot. lol

Treme -- ok, not a movie, but an HBO series from the same people who made "The Wire," which I think is one of the best, if not the best, American TV show ever made. Treme is about the people of New Orleans post-Katrina and how they are fighting to reclaim their city. I recommend it.

[Leigh]

I watched a movie last night on Netflix with a buddy of Mine called Van Wilder ~ Freshman Year. If anyone has seen National Lampoon's Van Wilder, and if not you really should, Freshman Year is the prequel movie showig how Vance (Van) Wilder became the party animal that he was known to be at his college.

Awesome movie, but then again I'm probably biased :D

[Hack]

Saw Cowboys and Aliens over the weekend. It was kind of cobbled together in places, some Indiana Jones overtones in others, not as many laughs as I would have liked. I wanted it to be more rousing or something. Wait for the DVD.

[Soon]

Stupid Crazy Love

[moxie]

Since I am in the middle of nowhere, the nearest theatre is about 40 miles away and the only place to get movies is redbox, I renewed my Netflilx membership.

This weekend I will be watching (500) Days of Summer (finally) and Dogtooth.

wlN5qpp8j74

Will keep you posted.

[Kobi]

Potiche (Trophy Wife)

Catherine Denevue, who is still incredible after all these years and Gerard DePardieu.

I loved it, even tho it is a flashback story to the 70's where a woman assumes control of a company when her husband gets ill. She turns it around, gets betrayed by her own daughter (gotta love those woman turns on other woman for the sake of a male dynamics), reinvents herself and continues to move along in her new life as a free, vibrant, successful woman. Many other subplots along the way keep it entertaining as well.

[NJFemmie]

Last week I watched The Rite. It was just "okay".

Rango - it was okay, nothing spectacular.

Last night, we watched Diary of A Wimpy Kid - Roderick Rules. Pretty funny but then again I enjoy kid movies. Thought it was as good as the first one.

Just finished watching Gulliver's Travels on Blu Ray. Eh. Campy and I started to fall asleep. Glad I didn't see it in the movies.

We're in intermission right now. Next two movies to watch are The Dilemma and Sucker Punch.

[NJFemmie]

It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. I think you'll like it.

ETA: Just read your after=post. See? I told you you'd like it!!

[NJFemmie]

Harry Potter Part One was a snooze fest for me. I couldn't get into it. I hope part two doesn't repeat. I'll wait for it to hit dvd though.

[Fancy]

Beginners (https://www.thelittle.org/moviePage.php?filmID=1207)

...I dozed off toward the end. No joke.

[I'mOneToo]

Cast Away. Tom Hanks making conversation with a soccer ball for two hours. I realized if you watch the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes, you can skip the middle altogether.

[Kobi]

Hall Pass

Two middle aged guys get a week free from marriage courtesy of their wives.
If you can get thru the weekend at bernie's type beginning, it is kind of entertaining. Even contains some ethics and values stuff.

[NJFemmie]

Sucker Punch = different. Storyline was pretty weak, but if you like to see chicks kick ass, it's a must see. Definitely a movie made for guys.

Battle: Los Angeles = better than the Syfy version, but the acting was basically the same. Eh. Nothing to rave about.

The Dilemma = Good thing I like Dodge cars (although I am a Pontiac girl at heart) - because it's easy to see who paid for this movie. It had it's moments of funny, but I am glad to see Kevin James moving on to better things.

*passing the popcorn*

[ScandalAndy]

The Eagle: Interesting perspective on the Roman/Briton conflict. Bit of a predictable story, boy sets off on crusade to restore family name type thing, but beautiful scenery and some romanticized history. In general, I liked it. I may or may not be biased, though, since I love Gaelic, and there is plenty of it in this film.

I am Number Four: Typical action movie, kind of meh for me. Interesting concept but I would have liked to have seen more continuation of the story line. It looked like they took a tiny part of a large story and expanded it to be juuuuuust long enough for feature film length.

[Kobi]

The documentary "Reagan".

I love this stuff. Helps my recollection of history - hard to believe stuff I lived is now history, ancient history at that!

What I really liked about this was the info on the strategies used in his various campaigns. Those fascinate me.

[Elijah]

Just finished watching The Lincoln Lawyer...it was entertaining, nothing stand out. The best two things about the film were Marisa Tomei and the soundtrack.

[Semantics]

Jack Goes Boating with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It was weird and filled with one awkward situation after another but it worked for me.

[The_Lady_Snow]

Today we watched "I Love You Phillip Morris" I laughed and shook my head a lot and enjoyed Jim Carrey in it and usually he annoys me...

Last night we watched a very somber "Biutiful" it's heavy for sure but great.

[Sassy]

Whip It. Watched for about the 10th time a few days back, over coffee, before work. I'm strangely fascinated by roller derby. Which I never get to see live because I always work on Saturday nights. And I just :heartbeat: love :heartbeat: Ellen Page -- and by love I mean I'd like to chain her to a radiator and keep her as a pet. :whip:

Hmmm, before that, I watched a documentary on Dungeons & Dragons fanatics. It was slightly scary and entirely too true to life.

Before that the Harry Potter finale in the theater, which I enjoyed just because it was HP.

And before that "Thor" in the theater -- which was entirely more of a let down that I wanted it to be. Though visually entertaining if you are someone with an appreciation for CG.

[Daywalker]

Crazy Eights

Planet of the Apes

don't ask I have no clue why.

[casey35]

Burliques the movie, it is a bit older not a new release, but if you enjoy music and dance and gorgous outfits , it is a must see. Have to say it made me feel like a girl, loved it had me dancing around the house to the delights of my friend.

[Daywalker]

Oh, and the other day I watched this one:

I assumed it would be fantastic because I liked the cast listing.
Not too bad, but slow. I have mixed feelings.

I LOOOOVE the original movies and it's been way overdue that I NOT have this in my dvd collection, so l just sent away for The Planet of the Apes: 40-Year Evolution Collection Blu-ray: Planet of the Apes / Beneath the Planet of the Apes / Escape from the Planet of the Apes / Conquest of the Planet of the Apes / Battle for the Planet of the Apes

Nine Dead = sucked. Melissa Joan Hart needs to stick with Disney movies.

Grumpier Old Men = cute and funny. Was in the mood for something light and this hit the spot.

I want to see Planet of the Apes and the Green Lantern.

What did you think of Doubt? I watched it and found it to be very good. Although I am also a huge fan of Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, so I might be biased. I thought it was a well put together film.

Doubt, with Meryl Streep (On Demand)
Horrible Bosses (Theatre)

"red" *big thumbs up*
"flushed away" (fun film)

Monster's Ball (yeah, Im a little behind on movies) and Aristocats. I recommend both.

Gotta love Redbox's $1 movies! Friday, we rented...

Soul Surfer - I think I cried almost the whole way through the movie!

and Source Code - it was ok

[LaneyDoll]

Final Destination 5. For all FD fans, I have 4 words for you...

BEST MOVIE ENDING EVER!!!

:sparklyheart:

[NoahMacchione]

Just watched Notting Hill and Backdraft. I have seen both of them before and could watch them over and over. Just some basic moviemaking that is not taxing on the brain (when one wants to watch a movie that does not really need to be figured out in any kind of depth).

I watched this BEAUTIFUL FUNNY DELIGHTFUL HEART STRING TUGGING fantastic claymation movie called Mary and Max. It is a story about pen pals on different continents, Mary a young austrailian girl and Max an older (44) new york male with Aspergers.

Four thumbs up!!!

This summer I have been having fun with Netflix.....and I must admit I have seen one or two phenomenal movies.

The best of the Best was -

Departures

it is an independent foreign flick with English subtitles....The story line sounds a bit....young musician looses his job and had to find a job and ends up working for a funeral home.

It sounds rather bleh...but it is a movie that will draw you in, you will watch, and you will loose your extensive vocabulary...as the story progresses and silently you are drawn in and at the end of the movie all you are capable of uttering is.....nodding your head,,a soft gentle smile and an inability to express what you have just viewed, experienced and feel. You grab a tissue and wipe a year or two...and you smile.


\I give this 7 out of a 5 star rating. :praying:

Haven't seen them yet, but I just got Hall Pass - which I heard was very funny - and Red Riding Hood.

"head in the clouds" (good film)
"godsend" (difficult storyline, but worth watchin')
"unstoppable" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477080/) *thumbs up*

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Pt. 2 - thought it was good
The Kings Speech (compliment of Netflix) - excellent! I will purchase this.

[diamondrose]

The last movie i watched was Soul Surfer.

[ruffryder]

Planet of the Apes - ok. I would have waited for rental.

Just Go with It - good.

I plan on watching Dilemma and Love & Other Drugs before the end of the week.

A total blast from the past memory.....

Party Monster

... I remember those days. In fact, when we'd go out clubbing we would make it a point to pass the Limelight just to check them out.

Yeah, I think Lady GaGa jacked the Club Kids for sure.

I love Natalie Portman. Been watching her since she was in the movie "The Professional".:thumbsup:

Sadly, we watched Baby on Board today. I kept thinking it felt familiar, only to realize about 20 minutes from the end that I had, indeed, seen it before.

We watched The Birdcage again on Thursday. We enjoyed that much better.

This was just an incredible awesome movie!!! Based on the book by the same name, it chronicles the lives of white and black women in the South during the Civil Rights Movement. I don't want to spoil it by telling more, but suffice it to say that it's been a helluva long time since a movie came out that had women's roles of this caliber and strength.

I believe that this is also based on a true story by the writer, Kathryn Stockett. You will NOT be disappointed! I can't wait to see it AGAIN!!!

PS...Bring the tissue-you will be laughing one moment hysterically and then crying the next....

[Dean Thoreau]

Boots you are so right about the tissues!!!


Just went and saw THE HELP yesterday
I rarely (maybe every couple years) go to a movie theater but I read the book a few years ago and ...movie excellent, keeps to the book very well and the message comes thru loud and clear. Highly recommend this extraordinary movie...even if u have to sit in a movie theater....Dont wait for the dvd.

I'm a major documentary fan. I just watched the companion documentary "If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise" by Spike Lee, his follow-up to "When the Levees Broke." The latter deals with the immediate after-math of Hurricane Katrina. The former deals with the after-math five years later, compounded by the BP oil spill in the Gulf.

Spike Lee is one of those filmmakers -- you either hate him or love him. I've often liked his work, but not all of it. However, in my opinion, I think he has crafted two of the more socially relevant documentaries in recent memory.

If you have not watched either of these and like documentaries, I highly recommend them. Both are available on DVD. However, be prepared to get mad all over again about the Bush administration's anemic response to New Orleans post-Katrina.

Ebon had not seen Over the Hedge, so we rented that since Netflix didn't have it. We also saw The Crew. I'd seen both, but really enjoyed seeing them again and seeing Ebon's response to parts of them.

Precious.....

I know I know.. it's an old movie now.. But it had such and effect on me I haven't been to a movie since. It truly was the best movie I've seen in a very long time.
