@lipstixgal, so you'd recommend District 9? I'd heard mixed reviews of it when it came out and wasn't sure if I should see it or not.

i am not sure how new it is...but it was in new releases...the lovely bones.
what a beautiful movie. i have never read the book, but i hear it is great.

so, I'm delayed in these responses...
 

I read Push before I saw Precious. They both hurt my heart and gave me hope for my own future.


Seen all three and enjoyed them thoroughly. Did you? Thoughts?

I felt the same, I was disappointed greatly. Tarantino is apparently also allowed an off day, though I wish otherwise. No matter, I'll most likely watch the next one when he gets around to doing another.

movies rented recently because i loathe the theater..
 

Hot Tub Time Machine : Laughed a lot .. B+

The Fourth Kind : Creeptastic, seriously disturbing at some points .. A-

X-Men Origins: Wolverine : I <3 anything Wolverine .. B

Sutures: Snoozefest and I'd like to find the director, writer and sound guy and slap them all .. F-

Inglorious Basterds : So much promise, so little delivered. It's about 1.5 hours too long .. C

Babysitter Wanted : Surprisingly decent. Not your average babysitter horror flick .. B-

Repo Men : Liked it enough to watch in twice in 24 hours. A

Good Movies
 

i really want to see Gnomeo & Juliet
comes out Feb 11th

*smiles*


and of course THIS!
but this one doesn't come out til August i think!
*sniffle*

Loved: True Grit

Liked A Lot: Never Let Me Go (a bit odd and creepy but very well made and sweet)

Excited to See: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, I Love You Phillip Morris, The King's Speech and Black Swan

Disliked: The Social Network (why in the world has it garnered so much praise? I just don't get it, it is good - but nothing strikes me as exceptional)

We saw Season of the Witch last week... it was ok. Most of the movie was pretty good, but the ending was kinda corny.

I am looking forward to seeing The Rite (with Anthony Hopkins) when it comes out Friday!

The Fighter was better than I expected.
 

Yes. Great movie. Benning is fantastic. Saw it on DVD, then on the Big Ccreen yesterday

Yesterday went to AMC OSCAR Nominee Movie Marathon with a friend at 10:30 Am and got out after 9 PM..and saw, in this order

Toy Story 3 - Best of the 3..

127 Hours - Powerful Performance.On the edge of my seat at times

The Kids Are Alright - The Best

True Grit- Slow starter for me

The Fighter - I was happily surprised. Awesome interaction/Cast of Characters, based on True Story and yesterday, it was my favorite.


Next Saturday see the other 5 Oscar Nominees..Unlimited popcorn too. Then we went bar hopping till 1AM and saw Corday, my favorite performer at Lucilles's.:seeingstars:

Smooches,
Keri

Not released yet!

Coming soon!

This was VERY GOOD indeed...........

I just never thought this movie rang true especially when it came to one of the lesbian sleeping/having sex with the kid's dad!

Hot filmmakers of the moment....:movieguy:

Based on the book The Tender Bar: A Memoir by JR Moehringer
 

~~
The Tender Bar....


GREAT music, but for the most part I didn't care for it! :popcorn:

Same ole same ole from Hollywood I see.......
 

'Top Gun' and Tom Cruise return to the danger zone.......


Instead of showing these characters at their favorite waterhole as in the previous Top Gun, perhaps they'll show them rubbing liniment on their aching joints in this one......:giggle:

Just what we need. A new bio-pic about......
 

Elvis (2022 film) by Director Baz Luhrmann


REALLY?? IS there anything we already don't know about Elvis?

IMHO Hollywood had at least a year and a half, due to the pandemic, to search and shift through various submitted scripts and the best they came up, by the looks of all they studio hype, with is this AND a new Top Gun!?

Spencer Tracy, Steve Martin, and nowww....
 

Andy Garcia for the 3rd remake of Father Of The Bride........



It's just one NEW & FRESH idea after another from Hollywood..:movieguy:

With all of Hollywood's recent creative endeavors, can another movie about the titanic be far behind!?

I loved the King as much as the next guy, BUT give me a break...

Homoe, have you gotten to "Maverick" yet? I haven't been out of the apt. socially for about 3 years, but this one has me tempted.

Has anyone else been to the flick?

Sorry, no I have not.

I'm so disgusted by the movie industry'a lack of creativity and their releasing of MORE prequels, MORE sequels, and MORE re-makes instead of taking a chance with something original and new that it'll be some time before I'll be venturing out to a movie theater......:popcorn:

Yes, I meant sarcasm....but ya know, when it comes to the movie industry, nothing would shock me at this point..:movieguy:


I'll get off my soapbox now REGARDING my disgust with Hollywood and the movie industry in general!

It just irks me because I knew several writers when I worked at the video store who tried and tried to get their stories to either studios or indivuals and never had any luck.

P.S.

Thanks to everyone for their patiences while I ranted on and on!

It's not like the "Star Trek" series where none of the original actors were in the last one (or couple). and walked out of the "Enterprise" first movie. It was NOT the Enterprise, there were none of the original actors, and lastly, they tried to act like Spock had not died. They just had a new, younger version without a storyline to explain.

The whole party I was with (all Trekkies) came to the same conclusion at the same time and walked out en masse. This must have been in the late 80s.
They really pushed it on the sequel frontier.

I'll give "Maverick" a chance to prove itself, maybe.

This movie must of cost a pretty penny to make~

For years hoped to see a sequel to Desert Hearts......
 

Never happened!

Now my wish would be a sequel to The Break-Up (2006)
