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.

'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.

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.

Girl with Dragon Tattoo
 

Catalina, I agree wth you. It was pretty good, but not worth all the hype that has been advertised. I am going to read the book to try and piece together parts I didn't at all understand.:confused:

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

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..

Young Adult w/Charlize Theron

Have seen this 3 times and love it!!

just saw Sherlock holmes
 

the new sherlock holmes film wasn't bad. looking forward to the new shakespeare film coming out in January

I finally saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was awesome.

Great film and E had to stop me from walking down the aisle and asking some bad parents if they really thought that their grade-school child should be watching a woman *censored here for my tendency to give away the endings of movies*.

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.
