I Shaun of the Dead! You should watch it with "Zombo-vision"; it's like pop-up video! Hot Fuzz is wonderful too.

I love both those movies! I can never decide which one I like more. They're both so brilliant and funny, and have some of the best/worst death scenes ever. Besides, Simon Pegg is adorable.



How could anyone get annoyed by the Cohens? They're beyond brilliant. They take those influences and create something entirely new and unique.




Oooh, that looks so good! I hadn't even heard of it before, but now I can't wait. Amy Adams looks really cute in it too.

Oh that looks really good! And I love that time period! Oh, and Amy Adams is the girl who played Katy!

Thoughts on 'Breaking the Waves'???

I loved it (one of my favorite movies), but I know many people that called it one of the worst movies they've ever seen.

Simon Pegg is adorable. He'll be adorable in Star Trek too.

Kids are subjecting their dad to Shrek 3

Noooo, really?! I'm not into Star Trek so it's not something I'd normally go see, but now...

Oh yeah. He's playing Scotty.

I just watched My Man Godfrey (1936), and I really liked it! It had William Powell in it! I just really disliked the end, didn't really get it.

Today's obscure movie pick

"TIME OF THE WOLF"

It's a French apocalyptic drama, but it's not a horror film and there are no zombies. We're never told what's happened, but it's clear that society has broken down and merely surviving day to day is the only goal.

This isn't an action film, in fact the film is realistically slow and bleak with much of the day spent scrounging for food.

The movie has it's violent moments and they are very unsettling. They aren't particularly graphic, but very effective to the storyline.

Hmm....what was it that you didn't understand?

That's one of my favorite movies. I laugh so hard everytime I watch it

I just didn't get the end, does he merry her? Other than that it was great! I mean, like every girl fell in love with him! And Carlo ! Hilarious!

Yeah- they get married. That's what makes it so hilarious. By the end he's trying to figure out how everything ended up with him getting married to her- of all people I read somewhere (probably on another message board) that in real life he wouldn't have married her- but in the screwball world the ending makes perfect sense because it's just as screwy as the rest of the movie

Thanks for clearing that up!

laying flat on my back the only movie in the dvd player..clerks 2 again. I watched it 3 times since late last night.

My Man Godfrey is one of the greatest screwball comedies ever! It was just so zany & witty & insane . Irene was crazy & at times, I felt for Godfrey but the ending was adorable .

Tonight I'll hopefully finish The Thin Man, which I tivoed from TCM. It's a classic!

Ooo I LOVE The Thin Man movies--thanks to Bubble ! I want to re-watch them, especially since we have time with no Office .

I'm a bit behind; I just watched this trailer. Lee Pace!! With an English accent!!! I'm so excited! I'll probably have to rent it; no way my hubby will want to watch this. I can't get over the Lee Pace part!

Um yeah I have watched the trailer about 7 times now I can't wait to see the movie!

I got a copy of Live free or die hard..sexy bruce willis tonight..yummy yummy.

i also got half nelson, hot ryan gosling

Yeah, I'm about to watch it again...


I liked Live Free or Die Hard! Hubby wasn't as convinced, but hey...

I watched American History X in school over the last few week. It was good, technically very nicely done, but really not my type of movie. It's very violent and has a lot of very mature content, but it had a good message. Now we have to write about it. Fun.

I think I'll do that too . I'd buy the entire set, but I need to save up some $$$ to buy Christmas gifts for five family members. *sigh*

You should watch Fast & Loose, which is the poor man's version of The Thin Man. I'll give you a link to the imdb page:

Fast & Loose

Unfortunately, it's nowhere to be found on DVD & VHS but I'm happy to say that TCM will be airing it in the coming days. Check this to see when it'll be airing. Also, speaking of a must watches, you *have* to see His Girl Friday. It's highly regarded as the best screwball comedy film ever, & it's filled with lighting quick wit which is bound to happen when Cary Grant plays the male lead . It's one of those films that gets funnier & better with every viewing . You'll love it if you already haven't .

Ooo I am SO going to check it out ! Oh, and I did watch His Girl Friday, it is AWESOME !

I can't wait to watch Saving Private Ryan and the Pianist in school next week! AHH! No, I haven't seen either of them. Please don't shoot me, I'm just a kid! hehe. Its about time that I watched them.

Let me know how that is--I am dying to see it!

Ooo, cool! I ain't watched them, so tell me what you think! We are gonna finish The Corporation in economics tomorrow. It's a GREAT documentary, really a must see! Kinda depressing how we are killing out planet, but it makes me want to make even more of a difference.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up! I really liked the movie, but the end was weird. I thought it was so funny though, and I loved Willam Powell in it too! He looks cuter with the sruff thought!


Oo, I'll have to see if I can find that one, never heard of it.

Oh you have to see His Girl Friday! It's great! Cary Grant is is really funny and cute in it! It was a play I think before it was a movie too.

Oh, and I love the the Thin Man movies!

I happen to think it is a very overrated movie. Great acting and you really learn to hate that main character but I think most people think it's great because it was contraversial.


Brody was amazing in The Pianist.

And Saving Private Ryan's opening scenes are some of the most powerful you will ever see. It was the first rated R movie I saw in theaters (that my parents knew about) and I was awestruck. Absolutely amazing film. I hope you enjoy it and tell us what you think. It's top 5 for me.

When I went to watch it again, I read the comments this time. Every single comment is about Lee Pace.

I had so much fun watching the last Die Hard movie last night. Just a good action movie and not nearly as bland as DH3. Plus bruce willis is just sexy all bruised and battered.

half nelson was good. I wish it went alittle longer and dealt more with the addiction and how it plays against all the students. Still really a great movie

Saw Hitman...was prolly one of the worst movies evah!

We finished The Corporation today, and I have to say it was fantastic! Everyone should watch it--this and an Inconvenient Truth! It's very long, but well done and not boring at all, and I learnt a lot. Makes me want to do even more in terms of being environmentally friendly and a conscious consumer.

I hope you'll get the privilege of watching Fast & Loose . It's too bad that it's not too well known, but I guess it'll happen with something like The Thin Man series. As for His Girl Friday, every classic film I know absolutely adores it. It's hard not to love it .

I have another recommendation, & this time the film is called Twentieth Century. It stars Carole Lombard & John Barrymore. While there are hints of romance, the film mostly focuses on the aspect of comedy. John Barrymore was utterly fantastic as a man who is completely zany & eccentric. Carole Lombard was great too. One memorable scene was on the train in which John's character was telling Carole Lomard's character that she is who she is because of him, & she's just throwing a fit, kicking her legs out at him . Oh, it was great.

Luckily it's out on DVD, & I'm sure your local library will carry it. I hope you get to watch it .

This movie looks great! I'm going to have to rent it soon

I FINALLY got around to seeing Office Space. All my friends insisted that if I loved The Office, I'd love Office Space. They were right!

mrs. snooks sig is from Office Space!!

Um, I'm going to have to ask you to come in....

It looks great! I'm gonna go look for both tomorrow, I'll have time to watch it I guess . Tonight we are watching Grand Hotel, with Gretta Garbo, tell you what I think a little later!

Yeah, I love Saving Private Ryan. That beach scene is both jarring and moving at the same time. Same with the final scene at the bridge...just beautifully done and absolutely in the top few of my favorite movies ever (actually, only The Shawshank Redemption probably is in the same league as it).

I watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry tonight...pretty funny. Stereotypical, as expected from Sandler, but quite a few hilarious parts.

During the summer a cemetery here in LA does movie screenings outisde against a mausoleum wall. People bring picnics and for being in the middle of a cemetery at night, it's very peaceful and a lot of fun. They show a lot of the classics, and it's interesting because a lot of the stars are buried there! Their slogan is "Enjoy the movies above and below the stars." Anyways, Twentieth Century was one of the movies they aired last year, and I really liked it! It's such a great movie. My friends and I still use "I close the iron door on you."

That reminds me of the scenes from "The Wedding Planner" with Jennifer Lopez.........yes I love that movie.......sue me

That's it- I'm moving to LA That sounds really awesome!

I ordered movies tonight for Christmas. I selected the slowest possible shipping so they don't get here too soon It would kill me to have movies just sitting around for a long time not being watched

The girls are going to watch Hairspray tomorrow. And I will be having them watch it on grandmas big screen tv. Football be damned

I went and saw No Country For Old Men tonight.

WOW!!!

The Coen Brothers are truly brilliant. For those of you who don't know, they directed Fargo as well as couple other of my favorites (The Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona). This is arguably better than Fargo but I still think Fargo is my favorite Coen Brothers film. That is saying a lot though because Fargo is easily Top 10 on my list, maybe even Top 5.

The actor who played the sadistic killer, Javier Bardem, was amazing. There were a few times where I was shocked by the hatred I felt for this guy, but at the same time I sat in awe. I'll go so far as to say that the dialougue is better than Pulp Fiction. And of coarse, it wouldn't be a Coen Brothers film without some well placed humor.

10 out of 10 and not a doubt in my mind.


"Yeeeeahhhhh, I'm gonna have to....sorta...disagree with you there."

That isn't in response to your post, I just happen to love that quote. Sweet sig BTW.

"Just a mooooment!"

Jump to Conclusions

You finally saw Office Space. Thats a must in any movie collection. **** it's good to be a gangster is on my ipod.
Office space and Super Troopers are must haves!

I really want to see this. Fargo, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, and O Brother... are among my favorite films, and I've read this new one is a return to form after their last two being such disappointments. The only problem is that I have to see Southland Tales when I get the money. That is my first priority. Hopefully it will be a big enough hit to stay in theaters for awhile.

That is AWESOME! ITA with Bubble, I must move to CA --especially since I'm freezing my arse off here . I am so gonna rent that movie ASAP!

Last night I watched Grand Hotel (1932), and it was quite good! Not the best plot but it was still nice. The fashion was swell *day dreams*, and I really liked Joan Crawford in it, she was gorgeous!

Edit: Oh, and Bubble LOVE the quote in your sig (and the graphic is awesome too), I so want to re-watch all of the Thin Man movies--maybe Santa can get me the box set !

Thanks- I couldn't decide which quote to use- there's so many

I almost went to see Enchanted this afternoon- but decided not too. I'll go sometime soon
