I do that all the time. I have over 50 movies in the queue and I'm always adding more But I thought it was really good- a little slow through the first part- but I liked it. I'm partial to BBC series anyway

It's the film festival here in montreal. My mom went last weekend, she usually goes every year and has always wanted to take us, so this weekend we're gonna go. There are SO many films, and a lot of them may ever get picked up, so you may not be able to see it again. There are films from all over the world. I hope we see a few good ones.

I watched blades of glory, cute but not great. jenna was really cute. Tonite maybe I'll watch the John k. movie.

John heder kinda creeps me out now. And he does look like a 15 yr old girl. I couldn't stop laughing about that

i'll be watching that later tonight after the kids go to bed

I just watched some silent films. My favorite was one called Rescued by Rove made in 1903 (I think). The dog--a collie type--was super cute and really smart. I think it was like the original idea of Lassie, I loved it!

Im going to watch something tonite. I feel like a horror flick now instead of John K's movie.

Anyone seen The Lookout yet??

I have Babel, Blades of Glory, and Zodiac on standby for this weekend. Lets see how many I watch.

I watched Blades last night.........eh, so so, I turned it off then turned it on again......The only part I enjoyed was the beginning with the orphans & nuns skating and the back history on all the skating weirdos.

Fav lines:

"I'm un-adopting you.
"



"What?"



"Well, legally I'm disowning you."

Babel is an extraordinary film--I saw it with my mom and sister in the theater. I thought there was something missing that you didn't feel as connected to the characters as much or something, but the cinematography and editing and everything was fabulous. The same director did 21 grams (same editing style too) and I likes it better cause I found you could really relate more to the characters.

I hope you enjoyed you movies (Zodiac has two people who played in Carnivale--Clea DuVall and John Carroll Lynch--sorry, just had to add that !)!

Just found my Netflix dvds that we got in the mail before we moved a month ago! I guess we should watch them this weekend.

Proof and Thank You for Smoking

Good, anybody?

^^ Thank you for smoking was alright. Had it moments but not outstanding imo. Katie holmes and eckhart are flat together however. But you'll like the office pop ups by certain people.

I watched this horror flick, The rise of leslie vernon. Not scary. Was dull. I don't find the whole aspect of waiting to be scared the scary part. I thought it would be a throw back to 80's slashers.

I want to see Halloween today. Anyone here went to see it yet, let me know if you liked it.

Zodiac sucked.

I think that was intentional with Babel. The disconnect communicated the disconnect between the characters, and their inability to communicate and all the resulting tragedies.


Aaron Eckhart was amazing in Smoking, and the writing was really sharp IMO. Great satire.

A new wave...so not good. John had one or 2 funny moments but it was just hard to watch. I can't pin point it but it had the same feel as Dancer in the dark. Out of focus, spotty at best and finally feeling unsatisfied at the end

Proof is really good. I thought it was at least. Gwenyth was fantastic and Jake wasn't so bad either. I would reccommend it. Haven't seen Thank you for Smoking though.

Anyone seen Hot Fuzz yet? It's definitely graphic and gory (not usually two things I go for) but this was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Best parts:

"Decafinated?" (It's better than the Office's "His cappa was detated," line)

"Yarp. Narp."

"Look, it's Sanford's most wanted"

"Where did you get all these [guns]?" "I found 'em."

"Facist." "Hag."

"This really hurts" (while impaled on miniature church's steeple)

British comedy at its best.

OMG, I Freakin love that movie! I could watch it a billion times. Yeah, it was gory, but it was funny-gory.
I love those parts you mentioned, especially, "Yarp."
Haha, also,

When the priest says, "Enough of this mindless violence." then pulls out some guns, hahaha.

"Where's the trolley boy?"
"In the freezer."
"Did you say 'cool off'?"
"Actually, I didn't say anything."
"Shame."
"You missed it, earlier, I distracted him with the cuddly monkey, and then I said, 'play time's over' and hit him with the peace lily."
"You're off the effing chain!"


^^My favorite part!!!

It's alright, Andy! It's just bolognaise!

So many good quotes. I love it!

One of my favorites too but I think my favorite was either the old lady riding the bike while firing the guns she pulled from the little basketor the sequence when Danny is asking him all the cliche questions but my favorite line is still decafinated?

I'm going to rent it again now that I'm in school and make my roommate watch it. She'll appreciate it like I do.

I would like to rent it again too. Haha, Decafinated? was really hilarious.
I also like, "Have you ever screamed AHHHHHH and shot your gun in the air?"
Or....

How they open the door for the swan and the 'door open' sound goes off. I thought that was hilarious.


Gosh, I could think of quotes like all day. Lets just leave it that it was a hilarious movie.

^^^ And other people need to see it too.

I LOVE "HOT FUZZ"!

My favorite part is really small. He rides in, packin' heat, and says "Morning" and all he|| breaks loose. Love it!

Hahah, i love that part too. I love ridiculously deep his voice is. Its hilarious. Did anyone watch the bloopers? They were funny too.

Most people I know said it wasn't as good as Shaun of the Dead. I think it was better.

Well, I think Shaun of Dead was great cause it was so ground-breaking. Shaun, for me, was hilarious the very first time I watched it. Hot Fuzz, I had to watch to twice to get all of the humor and really laugh. I think Fuzz, was a little too long, however.

They were hilarious. We were watching those when my mother walked in and were laughing too hard to explain what it is we were watching and why it was so funny.


I haven't seen Shaun of the Dead yet but I'm definitely going to now (although I don't know how Hot Fuzz could be topped).

Shaun of the Dead is brilliant. It's way more gory though. But who cares, right?

I just re-watched a french movie called Un Long Dimanche de Fiancaille or--in english-- A Very Long Engagement. It is a fabulous movie! The cinematography, editing, everything is wonderful! It happens circa WW1, and it is kinda gory with the war parts, but it's a lovely movie, really touching and sweet and romantic. A must see !

I agree with just about everyone's comments on Hot Fuzz. I got it through Netflix on Friday and my hubby was laughing at me for it... until we started watching. We were cracking up. I especially love the end, how they ended up doing most of the things they saw in the movies. Hilarious!

Hot Fuzz was my all time favorite movie this year.

I especially liked the part where . . .

Stephen Merchant is giving the specifics on what the swan looks like. It was awesome to have an Office connection.

I just went and saw a screening of 3:10 to Yuma. Wow. Absolutely fantastic. Russell Crowe is great in it. And I didn't look at the films cast before I saw it and was suprised to see a couple of faces. When it comes out I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen a good western in awhile.

^^ I want to see Yuma. I saw Halloween, the remake not that bad. It's got it's own twist that's pretty good. Weird to see it all set like modern and not the 70's feel but decent. The guy who was playing Michael was just as good as the orginal. He was really creepy. You know how it is when they keep making the movies and new people play em' some of them are dumb. This guy was really great.

I have been wanting to see it so bad. it kinda randomly came out. Thanks for the review.

Omg, that is one of my favorite parts! I love how he's so calm about it and stuff. That swan cracks me up.

Another of my favorite parts:
When Sargent Angell beats up the 'trolley boy' and Agent Butterman walks in and sees blood and the guy on the floor and the peace lily is broken. He says, "Oh no, what happened to your peace lily??!?!?"

Thats a good one.

I know I'm late on this, but we just watched The Queen. It was an okay movie, but what really got me was all of the footage of the days after Diana died. It was just too sad.

I finally saw Hot Fuzz. Brilliant!!!! A+

The whole movie was sad or the footage? Haven't seen it yet (obviously), but it's in my queue. Watched MI:3 this weekend. I was so excited that Simon Pegg was in it. Except that his role wasn't big enough. Otherwise, it was meh. Just about everyone else EXCEPT Tom Cruise was good. Typical.

Fact: Superbad is NOT a date movie.



I know from personal experience.

The footage of her death--the movie was very lowkey, not too emotional. It was interesting.



Ooh, that's not good. And definitely not a first date movie, either!

Yeah, Simon was funny in that, with the little parts he had. Seriously Tom Cruise wasn't that great at all. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was real good though, he was quite scary. I thought it was a cool movie though. Johnathon Rhys-Myers was a hottie,

Simon Pegg. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was scary! I was impressed by him. And of course, Jonathan Rhys Meyers...such a hottie!

Last night I watched Double Wedding for the forth time. Not only is it my favourite film, but it's one that I can never get sick of. Plus, it's impossible to go wrong with Myrna Loy & William Powell . They're fantastic together. The final scene was an absolute classic, with that huge fight going on in Charlie's lodge. The best was when Margit knocked Charlie out with that palette. She had no clue . I also loved the scene where Charlie was sleeping under the tree & Margit covered him with that branch(???). That was such a sweet gesture, despite her "hating" him. So cute . However, nothing topped the part where Charlie revealed that he loved Margit & she kept going, "I beg your pardon." The ending always makes me so fuzzy on the inside . Waldo was great, & I'm glad he got some yumph at the end hahaha. I can't wait to watch it again.

*eta* Also watch Monkey Business a couple days ago. Cary Grant's best moment was when he acted as an Indian. Oh lord, I laughed so hard that my mom told me to be quiet .

Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh

two words: Velvet Goldmine

I'm going to have to watch all of the movies in that set again. Maybe tomorrow night...

I've never seen Monkey Business- I'll have to check that one out

I saw this for a new movie coming up and thought it looked different. All 3 actors are on different spectrums(to me) and yet working together on this movie.

Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman, Jack Black and Jennifer Jason Leigh moved in together during filming for new movie Margot At The Wedding, because they wanted to perfect their roles as a dysfunctional family. The three actors lived in a house in the Hamptons area of New York while working on the Noah Baumbach-directed drama earlier this year, and Kidman has fond memories of their time together. She says, "We all lived in this house in the Hamptons. Jennifer would cook breakfast on Sunday, and we'd all go to work Monday to Friday, and hang out on the weekend. Jack (Black) would play guitar. (And) we'd lie around in the bed, rehearsing. You don't make films like that right now - it's more a seventies way of making films."

( Trailer for Margot At The Wedding! )

my friend annette left me a message.. I can't wait to see The brave one. jodie foster is a great actress but come on. I sat through Nell with her, I'm a really great friend

So true. How high can a person's voice get when yelling, anyway?

A local movie theatre where I live provides loads of unintentional (I think) humour by the way it lists what it's showing. Listing one film above another can be very funny. Sorry, but this is the way my warped mind works....

Examples:

The Simpsons Movie
Superbad

Mr Bean's Vacation
Death Sentence

I've been already to string together as many as 5.

I got Our Mutual Friend (BBC) from netflix today. I've read it's good- we shall see

I'd like to see how it turns out! I've got the book at home to read.

I want to see 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. That is all.

When does oscar season begin? I know september is the reject movie month but is October when the good movies start coming out?? I can never remember
