^^I have a Cary Grant collection- but it sounds like you have a different one than me. (Aren't there like 20 Cary Grant collections available? ) I have "The Signature Collection" (you know- the ones in the blue box. Which one do you have?

Parent Trap and Parent Trap II....


Best Buy also has this dvd set for 5.99 this week

I have the one with...

1. Holiday
2. His Girl Friday
3. The Awful Truth
4. The Talk of The Town
5. Only Angels Have Wings

I don't know the proper name of the collection though. And yeah, it does seem like there's about 20 Cary Grant collections ahaha.

Hmm- I may have to check into this one. I love His Girl Friday and The Awful Truth. Mine has:

My Favorite Wife
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
Destination Tokyo
The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer
Night and Day

I like this Simpsons so I 'may' be into the movie. I'm just really confused - Is it exactly like the tv show just longer? In that case, I'm not interested. But if there is something special about the movie, I'll check it out.

Like the Flintstones - The movie changed from a cartoon to live action, that was the difference. Is there any differences with the Simpsons?

Aint it cool news website always has reviews of sneak previews of all movies some from reviewers and some from regular folks....Here are some reviews now.......spoiler warnings blah blah blah

You definitely should. It comes with two vintage postcards for every film. One has Cary Grant & his leading lady & the other is off the movie poster. Instead of it being 5 DVD cases, it has 5 discs, like season two of the Office. It has extra features & there's quotes on the inside from all 5 movies. Plus, when you open it there are 5 different Cary Grant faces & who doesn't want that . I paid $67 with tax & if you were to buy those 5 films seperately, you'd pay well over $100.00.

I saw the collection that you have & I'm looking into getting it.

I just looked up the one you have on amazon.com. It's around $50- so I may get it on my next purchase. The 5 disks instead of cases is so much better. I've noticed they've just started doing that recently with the older movie boxed sets- like the Myrna Loy and William Powell Collection I pre-ordered mine the other day. It's suppose to come on August 9th. I can't wait!!

Wow, you got a better deal than me. I ordered mine off chapters.ca with my giftcard.

Speaking of those two, I seriously need to get the Thin Man series boxset. I love those two together & Mr & Mrs Charles. In fact, there's tons of other classic films that I need to add to my DVD collection. The ones I have consist of:

1. An Affair To Remember
2. Arsenic & Old Lace
3. Bringing Up Baby
4. Breakfast At Tiffany’s
5. Charade
6. Dark Passage
7. Funny Face
8. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
9. His Girl Friday
10. Holiday
11. How To Steal A Million
12. It Happened One Night
13. Key Largo
14. Monkey Business
15. My Fair Lady
16. My Man Godfrey
17. North By Northwest
18. Only Angels Have Wings
19. Philadelphia Story, The
20. Roman Holiday
21. Sabrina
22. Some Like It Hot
23. The Awful Truth
24. The Big Sleep
25. The Talk Of The Town
26. To Catch A Thief
27. To Have & Have Not

Whoa...

I didn't mean for the list to be that long......

The Thin Man Boxset is great. I loved the extra DVD with 2 biographies.

If you've not seen it, The Women with joan crawford is so good. kinda saucy for the time actually. Great great cast, crawford, goodard,shearer. and rosiland russell.

I had been meaning to get this movie since you said something about it. I just added it to my netflix list. (Looks like it might be a little while though- it hasn't been released on DVD quite yet- but it says soon)

Wow, you have quite the extensive list. I have to admit that I don't know a lot of films on your list. I only really know what's on TCM, if that. I have seen Meet Me in St. Louis & now, I suddenly have that Trolley song stuck in my head. Blast. Oh, & I've watched The Wizard Of Oz & It's A Wonderful Life. TCM will be featuring Singin' in the Rain on Sunday & I've been dying to see it. Libeled Lady sounds good too...

It is very good. I rave about it all the time to various people who will listen 4 of the biggest stars from the 30's are in it: Spencer Tracy, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy and William Powell. Here's the IMDB page for it Libeled Lady (1936)

There's a scene at the beginning of the movie where Homer says exactly the same thing.

Rescue Dawn is playing here tomorrow and I have to go watch it. It looks like such a good movie . I'm excited about it .

I bought Zodiac today at Hellmart and will try to watch it tonight

http://whysoserious.com/images/theknife.jpg

My geekery is going into overdrive.

bubble I think you really really like it. It's such a chick flix. I rented the dvd at the video store. It's got some great extras on it as well.

The good people over at Paramount have just released this photo of Johnny Depp in the upcoming movie ‘Sweeney Todd.’

Check out the Westminster Clock Tower looming in the distance and the blood seeping between the cracks of the wooden floorboards.

Johnny stars in the title role as a London man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

The film is due out in December

Harry Potter is even more awesome the second time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He he.

The Simpsons Movie

I am really excited about that too.
I think it came here yesterday. I really want to see it.
Nothing but good things I have been hearin.
Has anyone here seen it?

My thoughts excatly, I saw it last night and it did not disappoint.

I saw this bad horror flick late last night....the terror, with boris karloff and jack nicholson and a guess who was a the first asst director.....a young franis coppla. The movie was so very awful.

Tomorrow I'm going to the simpsons

I saw pics of karen allen and harrison ford in the Indy Jones 4 movie. They are both so much older. It feels weird. I hope the movie doesn't suck

Hubby and I went to watch it (Rescue Dawn) last night and it was a really good movie . There are some parts when it could've been better, but you just have to remember that it's based off of a true story of a real man's life, so I'm sure they tried to keep it accurate. Anyway, it was good and I recommend it .

I just saw a preview today of a western movie with both Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in it. I just might have to go watch it .

Mrs RC has 'NO DESIRE' to see 300

I don't get it, it looks like a great film!

I'm buying it anyway. And I'm buying the most deluxe version too.

It's not the most historically accurate movie... so if you're concerned about that, you'll have to remember that it's just a movie. Other than that, it has some great action, great lines, and lots of cool effects. My hubby and I loved it, so I think you'll enjoy it . As for Mrs RC, she might not like the gruesome parts and the "oracle" girl/nudity. The nudity was the only thing that I didn't really care for. There are some pretty bloody parts, but I didn't mind that at all. I dunno... she might like it, but if not, you'll have a really good movie to watch by yourself . Enjoy!

my sister liked this movie as well...I didnt get to see it in the theaters so I'll be buying it on Tuesday.

Action, boobs and effects are all up hubbys alley

Thanks for the review!

I can't wait to see it.



Wait! Mrs Snooks said 'nudity' and you said 'boobs'. Which is it? They are different

nudity and women usually equal boobs and my sister told me there was boob nudity

boobs and nudity there is a difference? sheesh

I'm not really a boob guy, so I need the clarification.

I watched a really cute movie tonight- Under the Greenwood Tree. It's a BBC movie- not a mini-series though because it's only an hour and a half long. It was really, really good though. Definitely going on my "to buy" list

I also watched Daniel Deronda on Friday night. Another good BBC mini-series but not quite as good as ones I've seen before.

I *love* that film. It made me so proud to be part Spartan! Normally I don't watch films like 300 but I'll watch anything that features my ancestors kicking some @ss!

The last film I watched was the 1937 classic, "Double Wedding" featuring William Powell & Myrna Loy, best known from the popular series, "The Thin Man". Anyway, I adored the film *so* much . My favourite line was when Charles said, "I love you!" & Margit, totally stunned, replies, "I beg your pardon?". The way it's said was so sweet & the fact that the line was repeated was hilarious. However, the funniest scene was when Margit kept calling for Charles help, not knowing that she kept knocking him out .

I'm in the mood (no TWSS), I'll finish "The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown", with Jane Russell. I have about 30 minutes & it's ok so far, I guess.

I can't wait to watch Double Wedding! I've wanted to see it for so long now- and it's one of the DVD's in the new Myrna Loy/William Powell set. It's being delivered on August 9th. I don't want to wait that long!

Ooh, you're gonna love it! Powell & Loy are easily my new favourite on-screen couple. They're awesome in the Thin Man series & they're amazing in this film. The ending makes me laugh so hard.

I just learnt about the Powell/Loy set over on hmv.com & I can't wait to buy it. However, I'm torn between that set & the Thin Man series. Decisions, decisions .

Yeah. They are great. I think that's why I loved Libeled Lady so much- just for the fact that they were so great together in it. I actually bought this movie poster back in February. (I have a few movie posters in my room )

^ Ooh that poster is so lovely! Did you find at a vintage poster shop or elsewhere. I'd love that for my bedroom! Here are some clips taken from the Thin Man taken off youtube:

Witty Thin Man Lines

Alcohol

The way they deliver their lines is absolutely priceless. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, best on screen couple ever!

I bought the poster on ebay

I love those.
"You were shot twice in the tabloids"
"It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids"

They missed my favorite one though: "What's that man doing in my drawers?"

I love true stories.
I am really excited to see it now!
Thanks for the review.

And...
Chistian Bale and Russell Crowe?
I am so there it's insane.

I love 300!
I am definitely buying the special edition at Best Buy to get a free Spartan Helmet. Geeky, I know.
Seriously, that movie was really good. The stylized fighting was so fun to watch. A good plot-line too.
I love the parts with the Queen, cause she is trying to defend herself and her husband. Women will like this movie, because of the heroine-quality in the Queen.
The battle scenes were fantastic and a visual marvel. Did I already say that? Well, its worth saying it again.
Can't wait to see it again. And again. And maybe another time.

Our last Netflix was "My Favorite Wife" with Cary Grant. It was such a great movie! I was cracking up the whole time . I didn't expect it to be that good, but I really want to buy it now. Our next movie will be here tomorrow - The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. After Rocker Creed's (Shirley Temple) confession, I had to see it! I'm really looking forward to it . I love old movies, so I've been getting 1 action movie for the hubby and 1 classic movie for myself. It's a win-win!

I own both those movies. I love them. My Favorite Wife is one of my favorites- I'd never seen it before I bought a Cary Grant box set. I bought the box set with both of those movies- it's got 3 other good ones also. I think you'd really like Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. It's hilarious I think I saw it for the first time when I was about 7 and immediately liked it. Here's the link to that box set

Ooh, nice choices! "My Favourite Wife" is a classic. One of my favourite scenes was when Cary Grant's character was trying to get away from his bride so he could be with his wife. "I need change!" "I need cigarettes!" Priceless .

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer is a classic too. One of my favourite scenes was when they were doing all these races at the picnic grounds. One memorable scene went:

Richard Nugent: Hey, you remind me of a man.
Susan Turner: What man?
Richard Nugent: Man with the power.
Susan Turner: What power?
Richard Nugent: Power of hoodoo.
Susan Turner: Hoodoo?
Richard Nugent: You do.
Susan Turner: Do what?
Richard Nugent: Remind me of a man...

Ooh! I might just have to get that. The more movies I see with Cary Grant, the more I love him (as an actor ). I remember seeing Father Goose when I was little and it was immediately one of my favorites. I'm excited to see the Bobby-Soxer movie . Thanks for the link!

I just watched the end of The Princess Diaries.... so corny, but it still made me smile . Now it's time for bed.

oh oh oh 300 is on blu-ray........ gotta invest in that!

Raise your hand if you are buying 300 tomorrow!!!! (As everyone should.)

I know my hand is in the air.

I'm going to take the kids to see Stardust when it comes out. It will probably suck but I do like Michelle Pfeiffer and Bobby De Niro

spoiler synopis:


A young man named Tristran (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire, by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristran finds the star, which has transformed into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes). However, Tristran is not the only one seeking the star. Lord Stormhold's (Peter O'Toole) three living sons not to mention the ghosts of their four dead brothers all need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristran must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristran battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love

Yeah, Stardust looks okay.
I like Claire Danes, so maybe I will check it out.
And Ricky is in it! Can't really pass that up!
