I watched mel gibsons apocalypto. It was really really good! I know he's crazy but the movie was alot better than what I was thinking. If anyone has seen it, you should, it's so beautiful. I tried to watch the ring 2 cause I've not seen it and the dvd wouldn't play.
Obscure but excellent, a Chinese film "The Road Home" is a sure to please love story, but don't expect fight scenes or love triangles, but do expect subtitles. Spider-Man 3 doesn't deserve to be capitalized, so....spiderman III was almost as painful as Michael Scott trying to fire someone!
I went to the movies and saw Hot fuzz, so funny! Only the guys name was nicholas angel. Nearly close to weird guy friend. My friend andera just hit me and said isn't that just a shame. but hot fuzz was funny. So many people going to see spider man 3 and 28 weeks later. I want to see that next.

I liked Hot Fuzz too.
I did see 28 Weeks Later over the weekend... no where near as good as Days. I suppose it had a lot to do with Cillian Murphy - he was so good in Days and totally made the movie. No one really stood out in Weeks - they had a couple kids as the main characters and they were pretty lame.
One of my favorite old movies starring Joan Crawford and Betty Davis. "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane". Betty Davis states the quote in my signature. (Which I hope is working.)
My family is a bunch of very twisted Italians. As we watch the very ending where Jane (Betty Davis) says to Blanche (Joan Crawford) after Blance says: "You wouldn't be able to do these awful things to me if I wasn't in this chair." we can't help but laugh. And at the end of the movie when Jane is trying to feed Blanche an ice cream cone on the beach and Blance dies we LAUGH and we LAUGH.
The relatives that married into the family are horrified.

Is the Hugh Grant - Drew Barrymore comedy that just came out any good?
My wife wants to buy it (no, not just rent it) and I'm kinda on the fence with this one. Not sure what to make of it.

ugh 28 weeks wasn't that good? Well I guess I won't go see it. Wait to get it on dvd then. I would think with robert caryle it would be pretty kick butt.
I stayed up and watched 2 bios on grace kelly and gary cooper, they were so good. gary cooper was just awesome. they don't make em' like that anymore

The fact that you are entertaining this idea in any way proves what a wonderful husband you must be!
I got the breakfast club on in the background. Why can't john huges make another great movie like that? There should be more movies like this for the 20 something and 30 something and now 40 something generation.
Watching the 1977 BBC version of Anna Karenina tonight.
Pan's Labyrinth is coming out on DVD tomorrow (today if you are an east coaster). I'm running out to the Target first thing to pick it up!
Brilliant movie! Can't wait!!!

I haven't been this excited about a DVD release for a long time!
Pan's Labyrinth played in 1 small theater here in town. I was away when it showed so I never got to see it.
I can't wait.
Pan's Labyrinth- Just a warning, it's violent. Disturbingly violent at time because it's a movie about war. It's not a kid's movie. It's brilliant and wonderful, but sad. The way it is shot, the acting, the visuals are all beautiful...but be warned!
Yeah! Going to get it soon.

I was actually planning on getting that tonight. Both me and my roommate want to see it really badly, so I was going to surprise her by buying it and then we could watch it tonight. After that, we could watch Beach Games again!
And DON'T WATCH DATE MOVIE. It is the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of crappy movies.
Oh, and it's in Spanish! Subtitles galore. 
Let me know what you all think.

information on The Mummy 3:
Maria Bello will replace Rachel Weisz in the third installment of "The Mummy." She joins Brendan Fraser, Luke Ford, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in the Rob Cohen-directed film for Universal Pictures. Bello will play Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell, the adventuress played in the first two films by Weisz. After Weisz declined to reprise, Cohen and the studio cast a wide net for a replacement. Scripted by "Smallville" creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the film brings the O'Connells and their full-grown son (Ford) to the forbidden tombs of China and the Himalayas, where they battle a shape-shifting mummy, a former Chinese emperor (Li) cursed by a wizard (Yeoh).The first two films grossed more than $830 million worldwide for Universal, which will release the third installment next summer. Sean Daniel, Jim Jacks, Stephen Sommers and Bob Ducsay are producing.Most recently seen in "A History of Violence" and "Flicka," Bello next stars in "The Jane Austen Book Club" for Sony Pictures Classics, and "Butterfly on a Wheel," which Lionsgate will release in August. She's repped by CAA and manager John Carrabino.

Are you kidding me? A Mummy 3? What's with all these sequels? Pirates 3, Spiderman 3, Ocean's 13, Shrek the Third. Most of the time the sequels don't live up to the original (of course Star Wars 4 - 6 are exceptions to this rule). Can't people come up with original movies anymore?
I just saw Reign Over Me ... oh my lord, that was a good movie! Very sad and touching, but overall an excellent movie. I like Adam Sandler in his kookie (sp?) roles, but he's amazing in serious/dramatic ones. And I love Don Cheadle! Ever since I saw Crash, I have loved him as an actor.

Yes I have. Make sure you have a box of Kleenex! It's a little odd at first but TOTALLY worth watching. I love Hugh Jackman in this movie.

Agreed. That film was a huge piece of crap, along with Epic Movie. Films these days aren't doing very well at spoofing other films. Bleh.
The last film I watched was the 1958 "Houseboat" staring the legendry & gorgeous Cary Grant & Sophia Loren. I rented this film purely for the fact that it had Cary Grant. Anyhoo, I enjoyed it a lot but it's not as good as Cary's other work. His characters children were adorable, especially his daughter. It was heart breaking to see that he struggled to raise them. I kinda understood his anger & frustration, as being a single parent is probably a major challenge. Sophia was good too & her Italian accent is adorable. Also, I thought the woman playing Carolyn Gibson was Grace Kelly at first. I had to do a double take.
Basically it was a cute movie. I'm glad I rented it.
I rented jezebel tonite, I love bette davis. I never get tired of her movies. I liked houseboat too, cary grant is great nearly everything.

Jezebel is such an awesome movie! I love Bette Davis. She's always been my favorite actress, and Now Voyager is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Just watched Walk the Line, again. Excellent. It is interesting to see the similarities between it and Ray. Dying brothers, drug use, domestic abuse, rehab, spot on performances, everything works out in the end.
I finally saw Pretty in Pink tonight. Liked the movie- hated the ending. Maybe I've watched Some Kind of Wonderful too many times and it's corrupted me- I dunno. But I just did not like the ending. I think I'm going to try to rent Sixteen Candles next. I'm on an 80's movie kick at the moment.
I also rented Dreamgirls. (Yeah- I still hadn't seen it) I hope it's good....

watched ball of fire on TMC, more gary cooper. very good.
I'm just returning from seeing Spiderman 3.
If you haven't seen it, DON'T!!!!!
If you did see it, I feel your pain.
The beginning is pretty good so when you see it, you think , "Ah, everyone is crazy. This is fine." Then you reach the middle, bout the hour and a half mark, and all Heii breaks loose. I legitemately hate Tobey McGuire and am considering that he is gay. The fact that they tried to make him Spiderman and Topher Grace a villian is absurd. Their good actors. I like them in other stuff. (Tobey in Seabiscuit and Topher in That 70's Show) but these roles don't fit them at all. The ending is a twist.
I'm going to throw up the Milk Duds that made that movie semi-enjoyable.

Spiderman 3 was exactly what I was expecting. Pure cheese. The first two were, and this one was no exception.

Did you catch it on VH1? It's on all weekend. The end is pretty cheesy, but gotta love the Duck-"Blane? That's not a name! That's a household appliance!"! Apparently Jon Cryer ad-libbed that line. Sixteen Candles will always be the best John Hughes 80s teen movie to me, hands down. ("I'm not really a farmer, I'm a freshman")
Ok, obviously I know a little too much about these movies!
Is anyone a fan of "Better Off Dead"?? Love it!
PS) Has anyone seen "Shrek the Third" yet? What did you think, from an adult perspective.
I watched million dallor baby on tv last nite, wow what a great movie. clint eastwood still has it. True its in a older package but the man just has this presence on screen.
spiderman 3- blew
shrek 3 I heard sucks big time as well
better off dead.....wheres my two dallors!

Killed a afternoon and went and saw Disturbia. I know it's old but I hadn't seen it. It was okay not great, but okay. I love that guy though, he's really good. Thought it would be abit more scary though
I just mentioned this movie in the What's Stuck in Your Head thread, but I thought I'd mention it here as well. Has anyone seen the movie Loser with Mena Suvari (sp?) and Jason Biggs? I really liked that movie and think it was so underrated. Any thoughts?

i didnt really like the ending of sixteen candles either, mostly because she mutilated that pretty pink dress her friend gave her. that dress she made was so ugly!! (i'm still upset by this, andi havent seen the movie in six months)
i loved dreamgirls, mostly because i like broadway, and broadway inspired movies, and i love jennifer hudson cause she can sing!
Also, i saw shrek the third last weekend, it was okay. not as good as the first two, but some parts were stilll funny. And of course John was great, though if i didn't already know he was going to be lancelot, i probably wouldn't have recognized him, and he only had, like, five lines.

I hate to say this- but I absolutely hated Dreamgirls. It's not often that I really dislike a movie- but this was one of them. It was about an hour too long. Some of the songs were good- but some were really random (and this is coming from a person who loves musicals. It was just a really slow movie- and I'm glad I didn't go to the theater to see it.
I got Sixteen Candles and Benny and Joon in the mail today. I can't wait to watch both tonight
Is anyone else a fan of 'The Devils'? It's a 1971 film by Ken Russell. It's one of my favorite movies. Unfortunetly it's also very hard to find (not out on DVD).
This movie I'm Reed Fish looks really good- but I'm not sure how many theaters it's being released in. Hopefully one near me!

i don't know what to say to this, i would shun you, but we share a birthday, so i'll forgive you this once, but be careful next time
on an unrelated note: i just watched Donnie Darko. that is a very good movie, really bizarre and pretty deep. i'm not entirely sure i understood it, or if i was supposed ot understand it, but i liked it alot irregardless.

I liked DD too, but I didn't care for the ending. I did, however, enjoy the part with the earmuffs...
I just finished Benny and Joon. What a good movie. Everyone should seriously rent it. (I might have to think about buying this one too

Sixteen Candles up next!
Well thanks for not shunning me (good thing for that birthday clause

I'm watching "The Queen"....I don't think it's fabulous.
I just watched Amelie for the first time last night. I was amazed at how funny it was! Maybe it's just the fact that I have a strange sense of humor, but I loved how far-fetched and absurd everything was.
Oh oh I got "The Good German" today from amazon! 
I just watched "The Prestige" tonight. What an AWESOME movie, huh? I LOVED it!
anyone go see pirates 3 tonite??
