Glad to hear someone saw and liked 'Brick' -the fast language was so good. There's another one just out that looks good, called 'The Lookout.' I also like foreign movies. One of my all time favorites is a Dutch film (Eng subtitles) 'Flight of the Rainbirds.' It's hilarious and serious too (similiar premise as '40 yr Old Virgin'). It came out about 1992. Other good foreign movies:
'Fanny and Alexander' (based on Ingmar Bergman's childhood - no wonder he made movies like 'Hour of the Wolf'...poor kid). Irish film about the boy who wanted to dance ballet 'Billy....?'

I haven't been on the boards forever!!!

Thank you for the Reign Over Me Review, Fechin. I really want to see it
Espeacially because Adam Sandler looks exactly like BOB DYLAN!!

Also,

I finally saw 300!!

And was utterly speechless for a whole day after seeing it.
Glorious, it was Glorious.
Gerard Butler is my new favorite man.
THIS IS SPARTA!

The Lookout looks very interesting! I'll add that to my must see list. I'll also have to check out Flight of the Rainbirds and Fanny and Alexander but its very hard to find foreign movies around where I live. I've seen Billy Elliot, great film. I also have a lot of films to recommend but its just too many.



300 is awesome! All that blood and action throughout the entire film! Along with 300 guys just to look at and Gerald Butler's a$$. It was great...

^^

I'm sorry but I guess I missed the whole 300 is awesome thing.

I thought it was a VERY medicore movie.

The new Die Hard 4 Trailer.

Yeah I can't wait too see it! Woo

Die Hard!

MEDICORE?

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME (PAM)?"

How was it medicore?
I thought it was great.
Not too gory, because the way it was filmed was stylized. The bllod squirting was beautiful., to say the least.

Well I guess I don't consider blood squirting beautiful no matter what the angle .

I thought the narration during the movie was about as exciting and a 7th grade science video.

I just did not like it I mean I can see why people like it. It just was not a movie for me I did not think anything was that great about it.

Plus if I heard them scream Sparta one more time I was about to kill someone with a sword .

i rented 4 movies last nite..
Rocky balboa- I sorta liked it. I'm a sucker for a rocky movie though.
Turistas- oh my god-it's poo on a dvd. horrible horrible movie
P&P(jane austen) the new one- haven't watched it yet
We're not married- marylin monroe, ginger rogers, mitzi gaynor- saw alittle last nite and it's funny. Ginger rogers is really very funny, she dishes it out like a man. Going to finish that one later today

I have to go and change the tv-mad max is on and I think thats one stupid movie

I saw Gone with the Wind for the first time yesterday.....all I can say is wow.

I just got back from seeing GRINDHOUSE. It was freakin' awesome!!

The 1st movie, Planet Terror was insane; non-stop action, blood and guts - I laughed so hard I was crying. The 2nd, Death Proof was slow at first, but by the end, the entire audience were yelling, laughing and clapping.

That was one of the most fun movie experiences I've had in a long time. Two thumbs up from me (and a leg, an eyeball and some flying body parts)!

I'm going to be watching the Ten Commandments in a bit. Now THAT is a good movie. Joshua is a hotttyy.

I'm watching it too- it's an Easter tradition for me

About the 300 thing, Fechin, I guess you are not a sucker for gore. Did you like Gladiator or Lord of the Rings?

Ten Commandments....Niiiiiiiiiiiice.

Awesome, I can't wait to go see it. I hope my friend will want to go.

The classic, we're not married is pretty cute and funny.

Cate you just saw Gone with the wind for the first time? It's my all time fav movie. I'm glad you liked it though. Now you have to see the dvd extra of the making of.

Can you believe just 10 years before that they were still making silent films?

Will do.




No, honestly I can't. Also, if the phrase " Frankly, my dear, I don't give a d@mn" seems to appear in my posts quite often, ignore it. Hopefully it will pass soon.

there is a ton of great history behind that movie. Can you imagine if selznick couldn't use the word d@mn cause of the censors.
Most people know this, but when rhett and scarlette are leaving atlanta and that huge building is on fire..that building was the gates in the orginal king kong. they burned it. I love that bit. And scarlettes wedding dress when she married charles, was viven leighs real mothers wedding dress.

I think I will stay up late tonite to watch p&p tonite. Not a keira knightly fan but I hope it's still good.

Let us know what you think.

yeah of course. when she talks she's like liz hurely, sounds like she's got a mouth full of something. Her accent is annoying. I could use a good old fashioned drama/romance right now

People usually attempt to throw things at me when I say this- but I prefer that version to the BBC version (and I love the BBC ) Hope you like it Liz- I saw it at the theatres when it first came out and have since seen it around 10 times

I like the new one. And yes, british accents are annoying. British people bug me. I don't know why, and no offense.

I'm quite the opposite. I love listening to British accents. Wish I had one... I think that's why I prefer the BBC mini-series over American stuff some of the time

I hope you still like me and I don't bug you my fiancee is british I'm a sucker for a british accent but there are some really common ones out there and are dead awful. As my hun says.

you know bubble you can bet money on it that I watch Sense and senseability at least once a month, I never get tired of that movie.

Such a good movie! I haven't seen it in awhile though. I've been renting a lot of Jane Austin period movies lately. I'm not really sure why...

Then we agree to disagree.


And Liz, you could never bug me. Unless it was your fault that Dwangela doesn't live happily ever after, then you would bug me. But only if.

I'd never do anything to Dwangela, I like them. If any two people deserved each other they do.

Oh bubble would you like my sweetie to call you up just to chat in his sexy accent?

Good. I'm glad you see it my way. *puts pepper spray away*

Does that offer stand to everyone on the board? I'm sure my husband would understand. Who could ever turn down a British accent?

Not me!! *raises hands* and stands in line anxiously...

Snobs.

Looks like I will be starting a list today then. bubble, muffy, OH. oh GP you always make me laugh.
There is nothing snobbish about a deep clear sexy british accent especially when it tells you to come here and give us a cuddle.


Alrighty, I stayed up late last nite and watched P&P. First impression, it looks like a mini series that wants to look like a film thats a flim that wants to look like a BBC miniseries on film. You following me. It was very controlled the directing, way too rigid. And I don't know how anyone else feels, but I didn't believe for a second that those two actors had any real chemisty. The story is so wonderful and it can be done so much better I think. I loved the look of the film but it never really captured me. I prefer the mini series. Perhaps emma thompson should have had a crack at the screen play.

I think well have to agree to disagree on that one.

yeah. But still it was a beautiful looking movie atleast.

Aww, GP.

Being annoyed with women for being turned on by British accents is like a woman being upset with a man for being attracted to boobs. And a British accent is much more rare around here!

I may crush on Brits, but I'm in love with an American.

Hey Hey,

Girls this is a MOVIE thread one of the only thread on here that is not off topic talking about sex or something .

Let's keep it to MOVIES ONLY otherwise I will have no more threads to post in anymore .

Saw BLADES OF GLORY last night it's funny as heck I sugguest you go see it!

Just as long as you don't go the Madonna/Gynith Paltrow route and affect an English accent yourself. That's really pretentious.




Yeah, no more sex talk on this thread.

Via GMMR:

Ultimate yumminess and this yumminess is movie related so there

Emily is making me watch 13 going on 30. Someone, seriously, please kill me. I cannot handle this!

Soo, anyone here see Grindhouse??

This makes me laugh so much, I hope your head hasn't exploded chocolate.

Yes, it was a visually beautiful film at many times. Wouldn't that have been great if Emma Thompson had tackled another Jane Austen book?


The right person with a British accent can sell a movie. "Bond,. . . James Bond" with a New Jersey accent just wouldn't be the same.

This just give me an excuse to post this again:

How is my death funny?!?! That movie is deadly!

Nice pecs. still need to see that movie. Might be a good date-night movie, even if it's a rental by now.

your death isn't funny chocolate, but you actually sitting there and watching it is.

I rented Quills. I hope it's good. I know it's a old movie but felt like a kate winslet movie.

Have a good question.. I walked around blockbuster for 15 mins tonite, what are some great love story movies. I need a good romance story.

Oh and incase any of you are wondering I asked my hunny about giving you all a call, he asks are you all mad and does being on the board make you crazy. And which one of you is the easiest?*shakes head at his horrible dry witted comment*

I don't know if you've already seen it- or if we've talked about it before but the new Phantom of the Opera movie is really good. I saw it 2 times in the theatres and about 15 times since then It is a very good movie!

Ive not seen the movie. Wrote it down a little list Im keeping of suggestions.
