Okay - guilty confession time: Since I purchased it the other day, I have watched The Holiday four times.

For some reason, the romance of this movie totally grabs me - and I am even delighted with Cameron Diaz (an actor I normally find fairly repellent). Jude Law is another thing altogether - I have never liked him in a role before (I found him kind of creepy and unctious), but there is something about him in this role that I just love. He has transcended into the Cary Grant-esque performance, and that is the highest compliement I can pay.

I bought that today at He||mart! And going to watch it in a little while and tune out the kinder smile.gif


i despise Diaz as well but I am a sucka for Bad Boy Jude wub.gif

Nah, it's on in the background while I'm at the computer. Hugh Grant just came on, so it's OK for the moment.

I saw it when it first came out, not since. Maybe not ever again.

Watching the Egg and I tonite. Think I might watch a under rated goodie- I'm gonna get you sucka. Going through some tapes again I found. I found I taped running scared. billy crystal and gregory hines. Still have no idea why.

I do that too. Ever notice though that the stuidos had lots of contract players. Weird little thing when I was watching Laura, the credits listed a make up artist-Guy Pearce. How strange. that the exact same name of two different people would both be actors from different generations.

A good comedy is the LONG LONG TRAILER. It's lucille ball and I think henry fonda? Haven't seen it in a while. but I know a fonda is in it.

The new Posidien movie, hubby was/is watching. God I want to sue the motion picture company for wasting my listening and viewing time. The only good thing to look at was Josh Lucas in wet clothing wait maybe thats why hubby was watching but for the women in wet clothing laugh.gif....Josh still needs to do better movies laugh.gif

Yeah- during the 30's, 40's and 50's, many studios "lent out" a lot of there actors to other studios for certain movies too.

I own that one- I have the Lucy and Desi Collection and that one is in there. I'd seen it long before I got the collection though- it's pretty funny laugh.gif

Love His Girl Friday!!

I'm not sure if I've seen The Awful Truth.

And have you seen the version (Broadway Version, I think) of Oklahoma! with Hugh Jackman?

Hmmm. . . I'm thinking about having a little movie marathon tonight. I haven't done when in a while. Any suggestions?

I watched The Island today. It was one of the only things I haven't seen on HBO On Demand. By no means a great movie, but I enjoyed it....and sometimes that's all that matters. The whole "Brave New World" thing (and cloning) kinda intriques me, so I was cool with it.

I saw it in the theaters cause there wasn't anything else out..I hadn't realized I said this out loud- "fergie! I don't want to be stuck on no boat with no da.mn fergie, let it sink" I didn't know she was the lounge act, but it got alot of laughs.
I did the same thing at cry wolf. I saw bon jovi pop up on screen-out loud, "Fing bon jovi, waste em' ".

Time for my weekly movie update rolleyes.gif

Instead of writing a history essay tonight, I opted to watch a movie instead laugh.gif I got The Ghost and Mrs. Muir from netflix today. Wow that was a good movie. I'd been on a comedy movie streak lately- so this one was kinda different- thought it had a few funny parts. It's definitely on my list of favorite movies now! (It's also probably a girls movie- I'm not sure what guys would think of it.... wink.gif )

I saw that movie years ago, but now you guys have made me feel I must see it again, now! smile.gif By the way, there was a movie loosely based on it back in the '80's with Sally Field and James Caan. I really liked it.

Hey, bw, I have one that you may not have seen... did you ever catch "Desk Set" with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey? It was considered kind of risque at its time... now all the so-called sexy stuff is just totally funny and charming.

Because I have a broken brain (113 hours of work since last Thursday - ugh!), I'm about to pop in my old-favorite "Charade" and fade away. Even if I'm asleep in the first five minutes of it, it is bound to give my sleep a positive background (and if I end up dreaming of Cary Grant, so much the better!).

Oh yeah- I love Desk Set. I actually find it kinda tame compared to some of the scenes in Women of the Year with the both of them. I actually couldn't believe a few of the scenes in that movie being made in 1942 and all. Not that it was anything like today's movies- but still. It was a great movie too. But yes- I do like Desk Set smile.gif

I was wondering if anyone here is an Ingmar Bergman fan. I recently saw The Virgin Spring; very interesting film, I recommend it.

WOS?--love your little spin on the Calvin and Hobbes comic! I collected all of Watterson's books as a kid and absolutely treasure them.

I've always loved that movie. It's so well done, but you do have to keep a healthy skepticism about the conspiracy theory stuff, (personally, I think there's lots we've never been told, and probably never will be).

My favorite part is the scene with Donald Sutherland. I just think he is fantastic in the Mr. X role. Adn I can't help but be drawn into his story. Great.

I just saw a great movie called A time to Kill, it has to be Matthew McConaughey's best performance that I have ever seen and as usual Samuel L. Jackson is great. I highly recommend the movie, I think it is coming on TNT again tomorrow afternoon.

well, what movie is good and based on actual fact?

My husband is watching Talladega Nights right now. We never get to the theater so we usually have to wait for Netflix -- I am enjoying the cameos (guest stars from The Office)-- Dave Koechner and the guy that plays the building manager. Other than that, I am having trouble even listening to it -- those kids talking so much trash is killing me.

Review: Reign Over Me

What a wonderful movie just plain and simple as that.

This movie really did have everything and the cast did a wonderful job. Who says Sandler can't act? They are lame if they still say that after this movie. Don Cheadle was just perfect his acting was really perfect to say the least.

I'll just put it like this if you liked the trailer then you won't be disappointed. In fact it was even better than I ever dreamed it could be.

This is not a 9-11 movie so do not let that scare you off it's just part of the backstory of Sandler's character.

You care about the people in the film and feel that they are real and that is what makes a good film.

I am not really sure what to rate this film I really don't I feel that I would not be able to do it justice if I were to just put a number on it.

So Verdict: 10 out of 10

A wonderful story with a perfect mix of everything.

OFFICE RELATED: BJ Ryan played a part and wow he may have played the biggest jerk I have ever seen in a movie. I would have used a stronger word but it would block it out I am sure. P.S. He was a lawyer with no heart. Good thing he was put in place.
