It isn't often that a romcom is told from the guy's point of view. I thought the ending was a bit contrived, but other than that, loved it.

Fantastic...!

up in the air and precious both awesome

I saw "Law Abiding Citizen" with Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx on DVD this weekend and it was a really good movie. I need to get Chris Rock's "Good Hair" next.

one of the weirdest things I've seen lately but i still enjoyed it nevertheless:

I watched the rest of Jennifer's Body and it had some funny satire in there of pop teen culture. There are some gemlike lines. And Megan Fox can act well. I didn't care for the latter half of the underlying honest story of the film, but the funny stuff was... funny. Makes fun of teen pop alt rock bands too.

omg
I'd watch that!

The Secret Garden
Evil Dead Trap
Wind and the willows disney version
Evil Dead
French And Saunders Assorted dvd's

Forgot one. I've not seen it lately, but it's always one I recommend.

A Rumor of Angels.

I finally watched "Anvil - The Story of Anvil!" just now.

It was GREAT.

LOVED that.

Eden Lake- really good. It was what The Strangers could've been.

Cute movie, though it has a premise flaw in which people not only cannot tell lies, they cannot refrain from revealing embarrassing details about themselves. There is a difference between lying and not sharing everything about yourself!

But I did like it.

Just watched 'From Paris with Love' good movie albeit a bit sketchy

NDRU said:

Yeah, that movie was not without its flaws, but I think the idea is we often invent lies to put in place of what we do not wish to be sharing with others. It is a big hit with people who do not believe in the Bible.

I liked the movie, we just watched last week. The comedian Louis C.K. is funny in his stand up act. He was ok in the movie.

Great movie!

The only problem I had was seeing James Gandolphini (sp?) in it and not seeing him as Tony Soprano.

wow....ppl get upset about the darnedest things.

MrsMdiver said:

yeah like their religious beliefs

Cinnie said:

It seemed to be a very lighthearted movie... a comedy. There have been many comedies made about religion.
I am not a big fan of Jennifer Garner, would not have picked her for the role.

I very, very seldom go to the movies these days... what's the point with 12,000 cable channels.


I watched director Julio Medem's, "Los Amantes del Circulo Polar" last night.

The premise: An eight year old boy and girl they meet on the school yard and from that first encounter you understand they'll be apart of each other lives for the rest of their lives. Events and coincidences keep them bonded together one way or another but also keeps them apart.

I haven't seen this movie in a while (it came out in '98 or '99) and it still moves me; a haughtily romantic melodrama but with cerebral European sensibilities. It was a joy to watch superb acting, visually beautiful, and heart-renderingly personal.

looking forward to seeing Alice in Wonderland

I of course didn't mind since I don't believe in the man in the sky, but it did occur to me as I watched "wait, he's saying that religion & God is a lie"

The fact that it was a lie told to comfort people doesn't change the fact that people will think it's anti-religion & anti-god

whatever, him using pizza boxes as his Moses tablets was funny. And there is a long tradition of making fun of religion in British comedy, look no further than Monty Python

I saw Surrogates last night, nothing to write home about

I actually liked this movie

better than Surrogates
like a LOT better

although, anything with robots in it is OK by me

I saw this one last night:



AJAMI 1/2 - Different Middle Eastern families' lives are interconnected by drugs and murder. Nominated this year for an Academy Award for best foreign language film.

Gonna have to check a few of these out, thanks everyone!

Shutter Island was a good mindfuck

District 9 had me on the edge of my seat because I had no idea what it was about until I was neck deep in it.

Up was good, sad when he lost his wife, I cried like a little girl

2012 or whatever that end of the world movie was, funny (not suppose to be but the writing was so bad...) with great special effects.

Freeks & Geeks was solid, just seeing all of those actors I've recently enjoyed starting out was cool.

Wanted to see Sherlock Holmes & The new Werewolf but I guess they'll be rentals...

I just rented The Cell 2 (yeah I know, Cell 2) watched 15 minutes of it and turned it off. Bad movie just riding off the title from The Cell.

Crazy Heart. Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gylennhal are magnificent! A real actor's movie.
