just watched a movie a friend lent me on VHS a old one called the bedroom window, she thought i would like it cause it's a curtis hanson movie, its okay not bad bad, but alright. hanson has come a long long way thoughlol

what do you guys think about Casino Royale and what do you ladies think about Daniel Craig?

- I will keep my eyes on Treasury's money and off your perfectly shaped ***.

- You noticed.

"Much Ado About Nothing" is one of my favorite movies! I've seen it a million times and I never get tired of it. And your right - Denzel Washington definitely helps!

Emma Thompson was also fabulous in "Sense and Sensibility." Hugh Grant makes this one nice to watch, too!

there is a great movie, mill on the river floss, check it out if you like that austen type movie

I've never heard of that one! Who's in it?

Hey scrantonbranch, I forgot to ask earlier. What is your opinion of Topher Grace playing Eddie Brock? I am skeptical to say the least. Thanks for the trailer clip by the way.

No problem!

I'm a little skeptical myself. In general I like Topher Grace, but I have trouble seeing him as anything other than Eric on That 70s Show. But judging from trailers, he has Eddie Brock's "look." We'll see if he can pull off the character. I'm placing my trust in Sam Raimi on this one. I don't think he'd pick just anyone to fill that role. He's been good the Spider-man story, so for now I trust his choices.

i thought it was great. it was kind of different from previous james bonds, but still really good. daniel craig was gorgeous, especially his eyes, they were soo blue.

It's a group of english actors. I didnt even know any of them, I dont have a copy any longer, might be up on imbd(i think thats right). sorry I couldnt give you more info scranton branch. if i find it i will let you know.
Still out on the whole daniel craig thing. I rented layer cake....and it was bad. so he's made me a fan of his. nor that sienna miller.

I loved Daniel Craig in Lara Croft. It was nice that the film-makers did the hot shower scene of his to mirror her hot shower scene (not to mention how hilarious it was when the maid threw the towels at him!). It's not often that there are scenes in movies that are meant specifically for women's pleasure the way that there are scenes in movies that are meant specifically to turn the male audience on.

i loved bridget jones i hope they will make a movie of the shopoholic series of books
i saw some bad movie with richard greico an jamie pressley the other night.

is this a chick flick thread?

NOlol was thinking this thursday is flash back nite at the movies and it's die hard. kick butt!!

I like your style! I have all of these as well. Gotta love those Brits!

Love Actually Rules

I LOOOOOVE "Love, Actually!!"

That's one of those movies that I fell in love with the first time I saw it. I went back to the theater at least 3 or 4 more times with different friends, and of course I own it on DVD.

I also own a book about the movie and the US and UK versions of the soundtrack.

Yeah, I get obsessive about things sometimes.

Book? I did not know there was a book too!

The other day I went to my friends house and The Sandlot just happened to be on TV. This is one of the best movies ever! We all decided that it was the 7th best movie ever, right after Star Wars Episode I, II, III, IV, V, and VI.

So now, whenever someone says, "Oh, this is like the best movie ever." We just say, "Oh this is like the 7th best movie ever" because Star Wars is automatically implied as being superior.

You would put it behind episodes I&II?

Yeah- I think I would have to put The Sandlot at least before episode I. That one was just disappointing- I would rather watch IV, V & VI any day over the first 3- even though episode III was a bit better than the first two. I love The Sandlot- one of my favorites! I saw the second one- it was ok- but obviously nothing is going to be better than the first one- sequels are rarely as good or better (excluding LOTR, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc...)

I drew my sister's name for Christmas this year- that was all she asked for!

Oh my god! it's so neat finding out other people love this movie as much as i do (or more form what you've told us about your obsessivensess;) ) i love colin firth, and the story line with him and the portugese girl just melts my heart

on the subject of colin firth, i also love him as mr darcy in the bbc pride and prejudice miniseries. i liked the movie with keira knightly, but colin firth as darcy tops it.

Wow, I didn't even have to jump on that one.

You're supposed to be resting stress-free. The last thing we need is for you to start getting all worked up over Colin Firth again.

You might want to open one of those Lemony Snickets or that book that your sister loaned you.

Or...Bookworm!

I'm having dreams about the Bookworm game now. It's time to take a break for a few days.

Back to Colin Firth...was Nanny McPhee any good? I want to rent a movie.

Colin Firth is an awesome Mr. Darcy. I think he is fabulous in anything he does! But Matthew McFayden (spelling?) won me over in the 2005 edition, (of course I loved him before in MI-5). If anything, Mr. Darcy is just an amazing character all the way around.

I feel the need to add to our British comedy/chick flick list - Notting Hill is one of my favorite movies! It's on my core movie list. (The core movie list consists of the movies I watch on a rainy day or when I just want to put a good movie on without having to stare at my DVD shelf for an insane amount of time trying to pick out a movie.)

Nanny McFee was adorable. I would rent it.


And of course I have to jump on the bandwagon, Colin Firth is awesome. Cannot read P&P without imagining him as Mr. Darcy.
Along that note, did anyone see the Gwenyth Paltrow Emma? I thought Jeremy Northam (or whatever his name is) was a great Mr. Knightley.

I haven't seen that movie in years.
I hate to admit it because it's the genre I usually despise more than any other, but Clueless was a brilliant update of the Emma story. I'm sure it's fun for girls on its own, but it's so much more hilarious if you've read the original.

Clueless was awesome. But I do get a giant stick in my craw when girls say that Emma is based on Clueless. No, tards, Clueless is an adaptation of Emma.

I just got the extended edition of the new king-kong! 15 more minutes of awesome kongness!

Just got done watching "Clerks 2" twice LOL funny film if you like Kevin Smith flicks!

Kevin Smith is a good man. Most of his films are ones to buy. as long as ben affleck is not the main star.

Top Five film Kevin Smith had something to do with:

Clerks
Donnie Darko (special thanks- sure he did something then)
Good will hunting (co-executive producer)
Mall Rats
Chasing amy / Dogma

top five down falls:

Jersey girl (all of it)
DareDevil - Jack Kirby, Forensic Assistant
Friends with ben affleck
Clerks tv series - did he really need the money
"Joey" .... Himself (1 episode, 2005)

Kevin had nothing to do with Donnie Darko. He bacame friends with Richard Kelly years after the release and was asked to be on the directors cut commentary.

Kevin will be in Kelly's second film, The Southland Tales.

Best Smith Films:
Chasing Amy
Clerks
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Dogma
Mallrats

I don't know about Clerks 2 since I have yet to see it, but I have a feeling it will be up there with the original and CA.

An Evening With Kevin Smith is great too.

I took my ex to see him speak last year. She can't stand cursing or suggestive language. That was an awkward ride home.

Hey, I told her exactly what to expect ahead of time.

Me? I was in tears because he was so darn funny. But her...We'll here's a rough sketch of her shoulder.

The only Kevin Smith films I liked were Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I know why you guys liked Chasing Amy. Something about lesbians, hmmm? Am I right?

i love clive owen aswell! have you ever seen king arthur, i loved that movie.

I can't say that I love Ben Affleck, but I do love him in Chasing Amy, and Jason Lee too! (Hmm...facial hair in Earl and Chasing Amy, good moves!) Back to Ben, I do hear he was good in Hollywoodland. Anyone seen it?

Did anyone see Kevin Smith on Jay Leno about 5 years ago, as a traveling commentator going to obscure locations for unusual tourist attractions? He came to my (former) town to the world's smallest church. What a great guy!

i've never seen it, but my friend watched it and liked it. is jonathan rhys-myers the actor from bend it like beckham? i loved that movie, and i loved the actor who played the coach.

Saw the new Bond yesterday: My review here

Yeah I really liked the new bond movie too. Loads of action but with a depth unparaleled in other bond films. As I have an obsession with top 5 lists, I have decided to include in my top 5 movies of 2006

5. Casino Royale
4. Superman Returns
3. Flags of Our Fathers
2. The Departed
1. United 93

I think I liked the summer movies better this year, and the oscar season movies better last year.

It's brillant! I am not a woody allen fan myself, but I saw it with a friend in the theaters and I was left speechless, it was seamless. And if you like it you will love the other one, if i can only remember the name of it nowlol with hugh jackman. It's unlike any thing he's done in years. I hope you will love it as much as i did.

i just saw vanished the jeff bridges movie, why didnt you get to see them digging up bullocks character. I was mad, it was left on a really bad joke.

I lost track of how many times people got hit in the head!

It looks kind of funny. I think that I like the office's sense of humour better, which is weird because I really liked Borat.

they made another movie, im so far behind, it's called epic movie? must have taken forever to come up with thatlol

How is Snakes on a Plane epic? Where are the Star Wars and LOTR jokes?

I just hope it isn't as horrible as Date Movie. Date Movie disappointed me after Scary Movie.

I just got around to watching Pirates 2 last night. I loved how they found a way to bring everyone back. (I started squealing like a little girl when they did the "reveal" in the last few seconds.)

And can I just say....

Is it just me, or was Norrington (Jack Davenport) just the hottest looking thing in this movie???? I was not expecting that- a total turnaround from the last one. I'm convinced it was in his contract, "If I'm coming back, I'd better look hot." I've never seen any of his other work, so it took me off guard. So much in fact, that in an especially dramatic moment, I said to my husband, "Wow! He is really HOT!!!" To which I got an eye roll, and a "Geez, honey, did you have to ruin the movie like that??!!"

Sorry, girls, I don't get the Orlando Bloom obsession. I really hate pretty boys. I don't even think most guys start to get good looking until they've hit their mid thirties or early forties. I'd much rather go after Aragorn than Legolas.

i agree wiht the aragon is hotter than legolas statement. i'm a sixteen year-old girl, and i can definatly see aragons older man appeal am i too young ot be writing this? anyway that lord of the rings, such good movies...

You are never to young to have good taste. ;-)
