QOE- I really enjoyed Black snake moan. stick with it, it's can drag but I found it to be worth it.

RC I would pick transformers. I'm not a harry potter fan.

anygoing to see harispray?

There was so much potential with that premise, but it feel extremely flat. When it came out, I saw this article that compared it to Children of Men. It's sort of interesting.

I'm on board with your spoiler. There's a part of me that believes that you should have to pass a test to vote. Not an IQ test or anything like that. More like an "of sound mind and body" test. It bothers me when my friends brag about how little they know about foreign affairs and current events. I think you should have to understand them before you're allowed to shape them for, better or worse, by casting a ballot. End rant.

Oh, and I loved the new Harry Potter movie.

I watched The Shop Around the Corner tonight. Very cute movie. Reminded me of a Frank Capra movie. It was actually the movie You've Got Mail was based on. (I've never seen it though)

I would recommend You've Got Mail.
It's a really cute comedy and Meg and Tom are hilarious! Plus, it has good music, and Steve Zahn, what more can you want?

Thanks liz, I might give it a chance later tonight.



I love The Shop Around the Corner. It's so sweet and romantic without being sickeningly-sweet. It's so funny and cute. I liked You've Got Mail too, but you can't improve on the original, IMHO.

No- you can never improve an original most of the time. That's why I usually hate remakes of old movies (why do they even try....?)

My kids rented Bridge to Terabitha. Do I want to see that???

I didnt watch it but my kids did and they were pretty quiet while watching it....... play some MB games instead

Off to read fanfic instead of kidfic. I loved the book as a kid but for some reason I just can't take it right now.

Any good movies lately?

It's good. Very sad though.

I can only tolerate Nanny McPhee because of Colin Firth how can i change the channel when I see his lovely face on the tv?

The Collector's Edition of Red Dawn just came out the other day. I'm psyched about picking that up.

That's an easy one. Don't

He would have made an excellent werewolf, don't you think?

Yes i think he would have been an excellent werewolf. I also think that Todd Packer could give new life to the rat.

I finally watched Black Snake Moan, and I was a little disappointed. It was good, but now that I've seen it I don't get the hype around it (which was probably mostly about bone-thin Christina Ricci running around for an hour in panites and a cut-off t-shirt). Samuel L. Jackson was great, but I was most impressed with (it's weird, I know) the sound editing. I never really got into the story and I never really felt that much for the characters, but the sounds of the movie were just fantastic. All in all, I'm glad I saw it. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if it was more like this.

If anyone sees Chuck & Larry, can you let me know how it is? We are probably going to see it regardless, but it didn't get such great reviews here, and I just wanted to see if there are others in agreement!

hahaha, White Possum Scream...niiiice!

Did anyone see Rescue Dawn? It looked really good.

You said you were disappointed, yet your description makes me want to see this immediatley. Yeah, I am typical male.

I can't resist good sound editing.

^ Yeah, it's not that it was bad, I guess I just had higher expectations for it. Does being a typical male have to do with seeing Christina Ricci or the sound editing? If you're a fan of either I'd definitely rent it.

Sooo anyone with Rescue Dawn?

i haven't seen it but every review i've heard has been very good. even the critic in my local paper liked it and he hates everything. ebert and roeper gave it two thumbs up and said that there was definate oscar potential, if that persuades you

i just watched Amelie, i thought that was such a wonderful movie i love foreign movies, particulalry those in french, and this one was fantastic.

^ That's one of my favourite films! I could do with that scene of all those people erm, going at it but besides that it was such a warm & fun film.



I absolutely adore that film. The scene with the pizza shop(??) breaks my heart but the ending was soooo sweer, after she found out who her admirer was . Jimmy Stewart's legs are quite skinny though .

20th Century Fox has set Gavin Hood to direct Hugh Jackman in Wolverine, the "X-Men" spinoff that was written by David Benioff.

The film, which begins production in November for a 2008 release, will be produced by Lauren Shuler-Donner, Jackman, and his Seed Productions partner John Palermo.

Hood is the South African director whose 2005 film Tsotsi won the foreign film Oscar. His next film, the thriller Rendition with Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, opens on October 12.

Using several resources that include the Marvel Comics lore, along with the more recent Weapon X graphic novels by Frank Miller, Wolverine mixes action with an origin story about how Logan emerged from a barbaric experiment as an indestructible mutant with retractable razor-sharp claws.

After three "X-Men" films grossed over $1 billion worldwide, the studio has made Wolverine a top priority.

"I have long been a fan of Gavin's work and know he will make a masterful film with the character intensity and action beats the fans expect," said Jackman.

At least we know that if the movie sucks, we can mute the sound and just watch ^ that for two hours.

stop practicing Legilimency you prat!

Last nite I watched the hills have eyes 2, unrated..I was grossed out in the first 2 mins, so for the horror fans, yeah it was good!
The I had never seen mystic pizza so I watched that, and ya know what...wow, talk about dull. I watched it but could never get into it. Not as good as some of the other realtionship movies from the 80's.
Then today I watched all about eve. I just adore bette davis. She never acts does she? She just is that part.
tonite I will proberly watch the lady in the water.
I want to see numbers when it comes out. I have a thing abou the number 11 always poping up, so my curiosity(spelling) is peaked by it.

I finally got around to watching Miss Potter, which I'd rented a few days ago but I was avoiding it because my sister had spoiled part of it for me. Anyways, spoiler or no, I completely loved it. It was so good! I've never been a big fan of Renee Zellweger, but she really is a good actress, and she was fantastic in this. The story was sweet and simple, but really beautifully told. It's definitely something I'd watch again. Oh and bonus: Ewan sings.

i know waht you mean. at first i was liike, thsi would be a great movie for my french class, and then, wow, maybe not

I woke up a decided to count the DVDs we own that I haven't seen.

If any of these are a 'must see' for tonight, speak up!

Brotherhood of the Wolf
Amelie
Land of the Dead
Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Underworld

My friends have bypassed the title and simply refer to the movie as 'Checking out Christina Ricci' :lol She is really sexy so I wouldn't mind seeing that.

But I do like sound editing as well.

I can't wait to see this movie. However, it's on "long wait" on my netflix list and my local video store "isn't carrying it" for whatever stupid reason I really want to see it!

MUST SEE:
Close Encounters
Hunt for Red October
. . . These two are required to maintain movie literacy, and they are really, really, good.
Amelie
. . . Because it is unique and wonderful. We had our Netflix copy stolen out of our mailbox once.

Much appreciated MB!!! Thanks!

These are all movies that I'd heard were very good, bought them, and somehow never got around to seeing them.

I've seen none of Red October but bits and pieces of the other 2.

I really want to see Rescue Dawn, all I have heard about it are good things.

This is particularly for you, Office-holic.
One of your favorite people.
It also looks like a great movie.

Shoot 'Em Up

Watch the trailer and enjoy.

I can't believe you've never seen Close Encounters! I agree with mixed. Watch it tonight. It's practically required viewing and I think for everybody, whether or not you like sci-fi. It goes way beyond sci-fi, it's just a great movie.


(just the mention of it and I hear the score in my head)

Well, thanks to Phyllis, you already know everyone in the engine room drowns. except that's Titanic

eh, eh?

Desperate...

Yup, I am.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this, and while Hunt for Red October is a really, really, really good movie, Close Encounters is that and art. It's just a level above and beyond.

Does anyone know the name of this movie with Kevin spacey, I think is teh actor, and he has multiple personalities??

^ According to my good friend google, the movie is 99.9% likely K-Pax. Google has yet to let me down.



It would make the males in the class pay more attention. I just guess European films are more free compared to what we have in North America.

I hated lady in the water. I watched it after we got home today. The village is so much better and it was kinda flat. He's lost his touch.

Wow. I just found out that they're planning on making my all-time favorite book (Ender's Game), into a movie. I'm really not sure how I feel about this, I mean, pretty much the entire cast will be child-actors.....hopefully they don't screw it up too badly.

My dad and sister raved about Lady in the Water, and bought it as soon as it came out. My dad even said it made him cry! Then they made me watch it: I really wasn't impressed. And I usually love his movies. I loved the Village and Signs, which was on TV tonight. That is a great movie, it's still so suspenseful to me no matter how many times I see it. Maybe he just needs to make more movies with Joaquin Phoenix.

Me too - I can't wait!

I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday... I bloody hated it! I was bored and kept yawning. The story felt really disconnected. The only scenes I liked were at the end and it just didn't make up for the 2 hours I just wasted.

I just watched Cinderella Man.
My, my do I love that movie.
Russell is amazing in that, in fact, I realized, that he has never failed to entertain me in any movie.
In every movie he is in, he is phenomenal.
One fo the greatest actors of all time.

Jam- have you even seen Master and Commander??
