Immortals: BLATANT rip off of 300!
Friends With Kids: Meh Panic Button: Interesting Another Earth: Sick, and not in a good way The Rum Diaries: Zzzz.... ...given the fact that the movies lately are lacking in quality, and the fact that i'm moving this week and most everything is packed, i'm resorting to RETRO... Alien (1979) Aliens (1986) Die Hard (1988) Good Will Hunting (1997) Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Sense and Sensibility (1995) |
Sherlock Holmes fun for sure :)

The 400 Blows...
French...1959
While I have watched it before, many times actually, it is one of those movies in which you notice new and subtle nuances each time you watch. I love this movie! One on my top five! |
I've loved..
the Twilight series, but the new one, not so much..I thought perhaps they might make the movie a little more interesting..but I kind of expected it wouldn't meet my expectations:hk11:
|
I'm going to see Girl with the Dragon Tattoo tonight.
|
Just saw New Years Eve...predictable, cheesy, lacking substance. There were a few laughs, very few...mostly the bloopers.
|
We can talk any movie you have seen recently whether it be in the theater, on dvd, Netflix...it matters not. Enjoy.

We saw an awesome, inspiring, eye opening one last night. It was an oldie, but neither of us had seen it..... The Beautiful Mind. About John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner. What a great film. As i said, it's been around for years, but if you haven't seen it...i HIGHLY recommend it on DVD. |
'The King of Masks'
Chinese...1997...a beautiful movie!!
Wang is 'The King of Masks', an aged street performer who practices the change-mask opera art of 'bian lian'. He laments that he has no male heirs to carry on his mysterious and complicated art and trade. At an illegal child market, Wang buys what he believes to be an orphan boy to become his adopted grandson and apprentice. However, Wang soon learns his new disciple is in fact a girl. As tradition dictates that he cannot pass his art onto a girl, he tries to abandon her, but she stubbornly stays with him. While looking at his masks, she accidentally sets his humble residence on fire. Out of guilt, she runs away. When Wang is falsely accused of kidnapping a rich family's child, he is thrown in jail. His former disciple goes to one of his friends, a famous performer in the local opera, threatening to kill herself if he or any of his guests, including a local military leader, are unable to help Wang. The King of Masks is eventually freed, and he finally accepts the girl as his granddaughter and teaches her his art. |
Someone bought me the extended version of Lord of the Rings this summer. I proceeded to put it in one of "those safe places" and found it on Christmas. I am LOVING this series. I have to admit I am crushing on the elf people. I have watched about 6 hours, and am half way through it. :heartbeat: it.
|
Just saw the American version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It was pretty good but not as good as the original. I watched the trilogy in its entirety while recuperating from surgery and absolutely fell in love.

Bloopers
I love finding bloopers in shows (most times). In the high cost blockbusters, I can never figure out why they are there. They must have continuity workers.
(friend told me I would love that job) lol Quote:

The King's Speech
|
On Christmas Day I went to see Warhorse, being an avid horsewoman I couldn't wait for it to get here. Some of the scenes were disturbing I had know idea that over 100,000 horses died in World War 1 and watching inhumane and heartless people and conditions was upsetting. But on the other hand watching the bond between a horse and it's person, the intelligence the desire to do anything you ask of them was uplifting and beautiful..

Either way, there are some incredibly bad parents that take their children to films that are violent (against women) and think nothing of it--This practice of theirs greatly diminishes my enjoyment of the film, always. |
We Bought a Zoo
and August Rush :) |
My Girlfriends Boyfriend - Alyssa Milano Jesse finds one guy who is Mr Right, and another who is Mr. Perfect. Or did she? Sweet romantic film with a plot twist I didnt see coming. Weapons of Self Destruction - Robin Williams live in DC. Man still gives new meaning to still crazy after all these years. Brilliant but nuts. His Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin stuff had me rolling on the floor. |
Pariah----highly recommend seeing it! Very well done with some great acting!!!
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo---excellent movie!!! |
Night at the Opera - I like Duck Soup better, but anything with the Marx Brothers is great fun!
|
The Muppets. Was like visiting with old friends.
Sherlock Holmes. Didn't like it as well as the first one. Had to many guns and shoot-em-up scenes and not enough Sherlock deducing scenes. |
the help ....it was amazing!
|
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
"Did I ever tell you I was struck by lightning seven times?" Mr. Daws. |
"Cowboys and Aliens" I really thought the title was a euphemism. Silly me. Silly movie. "Dad's in Heaven With Nixon" Billed as a documentary about a man born in the 60's with neurological damage who is later diagnosed as autistic, and his mother's quest to do everything she could to unlock all his potential. The film was made by his older brother. However, it seemed like more of an attempt to have a cathartic experience by reviewing generations of dysfunctional family dynamics colored by undiagnosed and untreated substance abuse and mental illness. |
Just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead a documentary on 2 men who changed their lives by changing their diets.
I may give it a try Myself. |
I really thought the same thing about "Snakes on a Plane." It HAD to be a metaphor for something important, right? Uh, no.

i watched the remake of the girl with the dragon tattoo....it was good...i'd still take the original if i had to choose...but the remake did have some good strong points...
|
Bought a Zoo-with Matt Damon...it was funny,cute,heartwarming...definitely worth seeing....and based on a true story!
|
I watched rise planet of the apes,was a good movie.
|
Margin Call With an all star cast, including Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci etc, I expected more. But, I suspect it was a pretty accurate portrayal of how damage control is/was done on Wall Street. Very different, emotionally stifled, values barren kind of thing. |
Detective Dee
It is sort of a cross between Sherlock Holmes and House of Flying Daggers. It was good, visually interesting and I am a sucker for ninjas |
"Chasing Amy"...I love Jay and Silent Bob! :pirate-steer:
|
Source Code - did not like it. Could not hold my attention.
War Horse - typical Spielberg, happy ending and whatnot. Not a huge Spielberg fan. Fantastically trained horses. Enjoyed it Sucker Punch - Loved it. Can see why it was panned by the critics. Give me a movie with strong kick ass women lead roles... Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - different aspects from the Swedish version, I preferred the original. They made Lisbeth a more "likeable" character. Overall I can not find fault with it. |
Son and I watched "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" couple of nights ago. My boy really liked it even though he JUMPED outta the recliner at one point lol
|
Fire in the Sky
Watched "Fire in the sky" on netflix last night. I never saw it before. I kept waiting for James Garner to reveal the hoax and he never did so....
today, I had to research the so-called true story on google. |
