Were they worth seeing in your opinion?

Man on fire with Denzel. It was okay, anyway I want to see that movie where Manhattan gets flooded. It looks very interesting.

Maybe I'll rent that next. I am watching the New Texas Chainsaw which is Scary as Hell.

Cinema: Shrek 2, Mean Girls, 13 Going on 30

Rented: Sweet Sixteen, The Cooler, Triplets of Bellville

Watching Previews 21 Grams looks Awesome with Sean Penn and Benecio Del Torro then I'm looking Vanity Fair looks Interesting. And Jim Carrey's New one. The Eternal Sunshine is Gonna Rule for Sure.

seen in the cinema: TROY. just loved the men

borrowed on DVD: DOGVILLE, a great movie.

THEATRE: Going to see Shrek 2 tomorrow

RENTALS: Kill Bill, Scary Movie 3, Love Actually, Big Fish, Prince Live at the Alladin, a couple others I can't remember because I just woke up.

I rented The Road to Perdition on Friday. Being a Tom Hanks film, I expected no to enjoy it but was pleasantly surprised to an extent. The movie had convincing performances and a solid plot. What I felt the film lacks though not fatally, is human warmth, something to engage us emotionally, rather than just aesthetically and viscerally. It's rather like watching a drama enacted at the bottom of a calm ocean or walking through an art gallery in which panels from a comic strip have been turned into oil paintings.

The Road to Perdition is also familiar stuff to. Those who have seen both Witness and Leon together with this film will be aware of what I'm talking about.

Saw Kill Bill vol 1 the other day. Really enjoyed it but now I need to see volume 2

It was like- Bugger! I was watching that!!

I really liked the film. Was expecting it to be duff because the reviews weren't outstanding. But it was very atmospheric & well acted - only bit I thought was poo was the ending, which was typical saccharin hollywood stuff.

Just to let ya Know..Lost In Translation is Sooo Great a movie ....I next have Girl with The Pearl Earring.

i just watched that HBO movie "the reagans" last night - i don't see what the big whoop over it was. nancy reagan came off like an evil cooze most of the time, but she had her decent moments and crap, who doesn't want to be portrayed by judy davis? ol' ronnie was portrayed pretty lovingly - all the negative stuff they put in the flick was stuff we already knew, i don't know what was supposed to be so "provocative" about it. i thought it was as positive as it was negative. for a TV movie, it was pretty decent.

I just saw One Hour Photo. Very creepy

Last nite I saw TROY...Loved it,,,

I saw a preview for a creepy lookin movie with keanu reaves,,,its a one word title,,,Can anyone tell me it?

Just saw Shrek 2 Thursday night. Before that it was Jersey Girl. Both were pretty good.

I haven't rented in a looooong time.

My favourite movie of last year along with Return of the King. Bought it on DVD.

Girl With a Pearl Earring was pretty good, too...but not nearly as good as LIT.

I watched Breathless last weekend - a classic of French new wave cinema. It's dated slightly but worth looking at if your interested in film history.

I watched In Cold Blood and Blowup this afternoon, and both of those are fairly classic films as well, though I actually prefer Brian De Palma's remake of Blowup called Blow Out...

Troy.
and it sucked.

You should have waited until the extended version comes out later this year.

It was a cold and rainy day today, so a few friends and I went and saw Mean Girls and Shrek 2. Both were very enjoyable. I love Tina Fey. I laughed quite a bit today.

I just went recently to see Troy (it's only just come out here in Australia) and it's an awesome movie!!

there's some good movies coming out here in the next few weeks! can't wait!

Kill Bill 2 in the cinema and it was DEFINATELY worth it!!

Ohhh! Okay, my mistake.

I saw 21 Grams in the theater, and it's an awesome movie! You definitely have to rent that one!

Shrek 2 ~ started out slow (2 scenes where everyone is showing their boredom isn't good cinema), but quickly picked up and ended nicely.

rented School of Rock ~

Eternal Sunshine was very good, too!
