Which version did you watch? The original or the remake?

Glad to hear there's another crier. I was crying the hardest right as the credits started rolling, and I was with four friends, all of whom thought it was the funniest thing that I was crying and mocked me to no end...

I'm dying to see it again!

I watched licene to wed last night. It was okay. Cute, but not like really funny. I got Mr. Brooks too. it's supposed to be a decent suspense story.

Got Holiday Inn today. I haven't seen the movie in a really long time- so I don't really remember it all that much. Now if I can just find Christmas in Connecticut- my Christmas movie collection will be complete

I watched Mr. Brooks. If you haven't seen it, it's great. Kevin Costner was actually decent. The story was a lot more interesting than I thought. A few scenes here and there are like, yeah okay whatever but this one got my attention. A great rent actually

Just watched SpiderMan3. What a dumb movie. I really didn't like it at all.

Yeah, I know I'm 6 months too late on this review!!

I completely agree with you! I mean, how many story lines can you cram into a single film? Honestly, it was way too busy.

going to see Lars and the Real Girl tonight at 7pm

I loved it too! Steve is so great. I want to see it again.

If you don't go see Lars and the real girl you are so missing out on one of the years best movies. it was so touching. Ryan gosling is just a wonderful wonderful actor

I finally saw Spiderman 3 last night.

I didn't like it. I think my whole problem is with the cast. Tobey McGwire seems really smarmy to me and I don't find MJ (or Kirsten Dunst) likeable or appealing at all.

I wish we would have watched Ratatoullie instead, but my kids picked Spiderman.

It's let's bash SpiderMan3 time!!! I am so glad we didn't pay to see that in the theater!! And they want to make two more? Please. I'm so over it.

Liz--I want to see Lars, but I'm waiting until with comes out on DVD. It got very good reviews.

My copy of spriderman 3 is being used as a coaster.

Wedd, you will simply love Lars and the real girl. It made me cry.

I'm going to start recommending a good indie film once a week. No, no one asked me to And it's not that I'm any kind of film buff, but I do have a decent amount of good independent films.

Today's pick is

SCOTLAND, PA

It's a dark comedic take on the classic MacBeth story, set in a burger joint in 1970's Pennsylvania. It's not a silly comedy and definetly has a dark edge to it.

Highly entertaining.

Named actors in it include Christopher Walken and Maura Tierney.

^ I heard that was a great movie.

If you're gonna post a movie a week, at least post the IMDb or metacritic link with it.

Christopher Walken scares me. I didn't even like him in 'Sarah, Plain and Tall.'

I loved Ratatouille! It was adorable! We (the fam) saw it on our vacation this summer, and they bought it last week when it came onto DVD. So cute!

I watched Singing in the Rain tonight. It had been awhile since I'd seen it (a year or so) That's the first musical I ever watched- I think I was about 5 or 6- thanks to my papa's huge VHS collection of old movies he had.

I'm also dying to buy the complete collection of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies. It's pretty expensive though ($87!) But I guess for 10 movies that's not a bad price.

Last night I watched "Hoax" with Richard Gere. Eh.

The night before I watched "The Last Sin Eater" and "Ratatouille."



I liked both a bunch!

Tonight I am watching season one of the BBC Office.

I saw "Loins for Lambs" the other day. Great movie to say the least I'd give it a 8 out of 10.

It's a talking movie though so if your not into that I would suggest seeing something less "smart".

I saw Fred Clause, the critics panned it but I thought it was just the right kind of funny for what it was supposed to be.

has anyone seen the new Ang Lee movie? It only opened here I think for a couple of days only.

That's pretty common. People seem to find him either uber-creepy or extremely funny. I'm in the latter group.

Then there are the people who just think he's a great actor. Trolls. *shudders*

I watched hostel again. I'm so excited that die hard live free or die hard will be out soon. I just saw a preview for Awake, it looked good. I want to see it

I watched my last Myrna Loy and William Powell movie, Love Crazy (1941). It was So cute and funny, a little--maybe more than that--crazy, but I still loved it! Aww, now I'm sad, I'll have to re-watch them all!

I rented and watched Omega Man which is basically the movie I Am Legend but done a little differently. Omega Man was sort of close to the book with some difference that made it a bit more subtle.

I wacthed clerks 2 this morning. I love that movie so much. Anyone watch the credits at the end? How mnay people does kevin smith need to thank?

I rented "Wrong Turn 2" last week, and I see why it went direct to DVD. It was okay, and definitely better than the "horror" movies that are played on the Sci - Fi channel on the weekends.

I finally got around to watching Dan In Real Life & wow, that was the best film I've watched in a very long time in the theaters! Steve Carrell just blew me away. Watching him play someone who isn't a total imbecile was just fabulous. He blew me away. I can recall crying on two occasions, & both were very close towards the end. I'm so glad I had the opportunity of watching this film. Never has 95 minutes gone by so quickly. With the exception of Dane Cook, I thought the cast was phenomenal, especially Steve & Juliette. His youngest daughter was adorable. And OMG, the scene where they went bowling is pure love . I hope everyone gets to watch this gem before it's released on DVD. Sure, it may win no Oscars but it's a film that every Office & non-Office fan should get to experience . I think I may watch it again real soon.

There's reviews here in this thread and over here as well.

I liked it, too and I know when you were crying!!! I put it under spoiler bars in the other thread!

The trailer for the movie "Awake" freaks me out.

I just watched The Purple Rose of Cairo, a Woody Allen film. I liked it, it was sweet and sad and the fashion was swell! But there were a few things missing that weren't right, but it was still good.

^ totally agree not the biggest woody allen fan but it was pretty good.

awake does look pretty weird. I kinda want to see it.

Telling you all, Lars and the real girl is in the top 3 of years best movies. If gosling doesn't get a oscar nod I'm gonna be ticked.

Pride and Prejudice(1995) my favorite line that leaves me reeling with laughter:

Mr. Bennet: An unhappy alternative lies before you. Your mother will never see you again if you do *not* marry Mr Collins, and *I* will never see you again if you *do*.

I need to see 'I Am Legend'. I love 'The Omega Man'. Charleton Heston was amazing in it.

I have the split DVD with 'The Last Man of Earth' which I think is the first run of this story (with Vincent Price). The movie is great, but the print sucks. But there is a new DVD release coming in a few weeks, so I'm hoping that will be a good print.

I Am Legend looks alright. I am hoping that Will Smith doesn't ruin it. I haven't seen The Omega Man since I was a kid. I love that story... no wonder I'm such a huge fan of Romero's zombie flicks.

So what do you think of the band Goblin?

Iron Man

I think 3 drops of pee escaped me as I watched this.

I'm a nerd...so help me.


Can't wait for I Am Legend. I read the book but have never seen Omega Man which is odd because I consider myself a Heston fan. Should I see Omega Man before I see I Am Legend?

I haven't heard any of their stuff besides what was in Dawn and Deep Red. Those movies wouldn't be the same without Goblin's weird music, that's for sure.

Though, my favorite score from all the Dead films is Day.

And The Gonk rules.

WARNING: Clips contain blood and guts.

I've just seen pics from the mummy 3 and the trailer for the day of dead remake both look uneventful.

I'm pretty angry about the Day remake. Not only is it going to be atrocious, but they are planning to release it in February '08, the same month as Romero's own Diary of the Dead.

Mummy 3 I probably won't see. I still haven't bothered to watch The Mummy 2 or The Scorpion King. Don't look that interesting to me.

I feel exactly the same way. I kept clicking through pics and links and was so unimpressed. Do we really need a mummy 3? They replaced rachel weisz(spelling) with maria bello. not even close imo as having some sort of chemistry

OMG! Me too. I haven't watched the full trailer, but I've seen the commercials on TV. I'm not quite sure what the plot is, but I am pretty sure I am not going to want to see it.

It sounds pretty (okay, really) ridiculous, but I have a big...phobia/fear about being awake/aware during surgery. I watch too much of The Learning Channel and Discovery Health I think.

Any Paul Thomas Anderson fans here?...I'm very excited about his new movie There Will Be Blood coming out in January

Obscure movie of the day -

"Fear of a Black Hat"

I love "Spinal Tap" and I put this movie right up there with it. This film is basically a rap "Spinal Tap" as it's done in roughly the same manner. The film is silly, funny, irreverant and pokes fun at the rap culture in much the same way Tap poked fun at the metal world.

Chris Rock's "CB4" is usually cited as the definitive rap mockumentary, but I liked 'Fear of a Black Hat' MUCH better.

I love that movie and totally agree with you

Has anyone seen No Country For Old Men yet? I love the Cohen brothers and I'd see any movie of theirs, but this one looks really great. I think I'm going to see it this weekend.

I just watched "Shaun of the Dead". I had heard it was good when it came out, but oh my god, it was fantastic.

I was a little iffy about watching a zombie movie, but it wasn't scary at all, and it was hilarious. It was a little gory, but not too bad. And sad. Not to mention that it was artistically brilliant as well.

The Office UK connection: I was excited to see Dawn in the movie, and I jumped off my couch when Tim showed up! How exciting.



I also have Hot Fuzz. Going to watch that tomorrow!


I heard that was good. And I love the Cohen brothers. "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" = Some people get very annoyed when filmmakers use other movies to influence their work, but I love it, and the Cohen's do it a lot.

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I've been reading about it for months now- it looks so good. Amy Adams and Lee Pace in the same movie?! What's better than that?

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

WOW! It looks awesome! I can't wait now too! I must say, Lee Pace is very cute!
