I saw that! Haha When he says that he snapped at her about the kitchen the last time he spoke to her, I had to pause the movie because I just lost it.

Ugh I had to explain to my husband who Isabella Rosselini was tonight I swear sometimes he surprises me! His big favorite genre in movies is science fiction, westerns, heavy duty action, war/military.

The other night we were watching a show that Kate Moss had a cameo in. I made some comment about her, and hubby says, "is that someone famous?"
"That's Kate Moss!"
"Who's Kate Moss?"

I really shouldn't have been surprised. This is coming from the man who was never allowed to watch TV growing up and had never even seen an episode of I Love Lucy until after we were married.

I loved Reign Over Me easily one of the year's best movies.

Hmm I don't think he punches anyone but he does throw some things lol.

That and Zodiac are up there. Almost the time of year to make my top 10 list of the year woo-hoo!

I'm a terrible HP fan. I haven't even watched HP5 yet. We're so behind in movies. It's awful. Just bought POTC3 which we haven't seen. We'll be getting The Bourne Ultimatum as well, again we haven't seen it. Argh! And yesterday, my hubby went to Best Buy and I asked him to pick up The Faculty and they didn't have it!

I wacthed Superbad. It was funny. It could have been more crude considering I got the unrated verison. I did get the biggest laugh in the cop car confessions. Craig Robinson is in it! It's funny. It wasn't as funny as knoked up or 40 yr old but funny. With out that Jonah Hill it wouldn't have been very funny at all, he's the main reason I wanted to see it so bad, but still a good rent if you need a laugh

I just watched this, and it was ehhhhhhh. I have to say I was disappointed. I really like certain parts of it, but the middle dragged. And where was Craig Robinson? I was looking for him, but must have zoned out or something.

The best part of Superbad was "THESE EYES...ARRRRRRRRRRE CRYIN'..."

Well, that's the best part that I can put on these boards without getting in trouble.

I just watched Mystery Men for the 2 millionth time, good as always.

Movies for tonight/weekend

Waitress- I can't wait to watch it. I wanted to see it at the theaters but never got around to it

Serenity- The movie to the series Firefly. It concludes some things left open when the show got canceled after only 14 episodes

Oh no....! I was really looking forward to 'Superbad', but after reading these comments (and some on other boards) now I'm not so sure.

I'm concerned about Liz's comment. I didn't really find '40 Year Old' or 'Knocked Up' funny at all. Both were enjoyable films worth watching, but I found them lacking in the comedy department.

I bet I'm going to be really disappointed in 'Superbad'.

I'll probably watch SuperBad tonight after the play and the kids go to bed.

I really liked Knocked Up and it was alot better than I thought it would be. I really laughed alot in it.

craig robinson is in the extras in the dvd bailey.

I got my moms gidget movies today for xmas
And my b comedy horror flick, Jack frost. Killer snowman! It's a guy wearing a snowman mascot suit, it's that funny!

To me it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I rented it this week, and I remember some people somewhere comparing it to American Pie. Well it wasn't nearly as good, but I don't feel cheated by the $2 rental fee.

I liked 40 Year Old V, but Knocked Up was "OK".



Make sure you turn down the volume.

Bubble I hope you like Waitress as much as I did. I was sobbing but a happy sob by the end. It's one of those little movies that most people miss.

I watched my Jack Frost dvd last night. I'm so happy with it. I bought it used from amazon, and it plays perfect!

My brother sent me a dvd that I will watch tonight I think...Billy the kid vs. Dracula. yes, you've read the title correctly. My brother and I love a B movie

I don't know if it's a bad thing or not, but Alvin & the Chipmunks actually looks like a movie I might enjoy . A couple of movies are coming out in December that I'd like to see... I Am Legend, Walk Hard... hmm... I thought there were more, but I can't think of them. I want to see 27 Dresses and Be Kind Rewind in January, and I just found Fool's Gold for February. I don't know what the point of this post is, but I guess I'm just reminding myself what I want to see . Any other recommendations?

I was. It had a few funny moments, but the constant cursing was a huge turnoff.

I rented Hot Rod last night...now that I found hilarious. The funniest movie I've seen in a long time. And super cute Isla Fisher is in there for some value.

Time to move up 'Hot Rod' on the want list over 'Superbad'! A funny movie + Isla Fisher = MUST SEE.

Thanks Stl!

I'm desperate for a horror movie, so I'm planning to rent "Wind Chill" from Timewarner cable. I know it's a long shot that it will spook me.

I might have to resort to books to get my horror satisfaction. On second thought, the idea of reading a book is scary enough.

I so want to see Atonement ! My sister and mom read the book (which I'm gonna read as soon as I finish a few others on my list) and they adore it, plus it looks fantastic!

^^ I'm a huge horror buff if you ever are looking for something let me know.
excellent gory bad horror movie: Bone Sickness
excellent bad horror movie: Dead Alive
one of my recent fav is Feast. it's got blood, lots of killing, swearing, a hot chick, creative use of everyday items as weapons and henery rollins in pink capri sweat pants.

I loved it. It's one of those movies I didn't want to expect too much out of so I wouldn't be disappointed- but I wasn't! I might pop it in again tonight. It was really good

Last month I saw two very different movies.

AMERICAN GANGSTER (with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe) and BEOWULF (with the character captures of Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Crispin Glover and Angelina Jolie).

AMERICAN GANGSTER was a very impressive movie. Denzel was nothing short of a pure natural force, and Russell more than held his own. The fact that it's based off a true story makes it all the more remarkable. Mostly plusses, but two minuses were the lack of interaction between Denzel and Russell until the very end, and the inescapable fact that despite their aims to specifically avoiding doing so, I thought they glamorized the drug trafficking biz. Frank Lucas' (Denzel's character) body broke down after his prison sentence and he lost everything in real life. They didn't show any of that, only two sentences about what had happened afterwards. Still I can see Oscar noms aplenty for this movie, but no wins in the big categories. Worth watching. 3 out of 4 stars.

BEOWULF was a likewise impressive movie. I have no idea who Ray Winstone is, but they crafted Beowulf to be a 6-foot-6 twentysomething version of Sean Bean. I've never read the original ancient poem, but I've heard the movie was and was not faithful to the story. The characters were much more conflicted and flawed than their perfect literary counterparts. The movie is absolutely amazing in 3-D IMAX, btw. That is the only way to watch this film. This might be the future of film-making, it's wayyy better than the creepy look of THE POLAR EXPRESS (all of BEOWULF's eyes are animated). Worth watching. 3 out of 4 stars.

Bubble I was feeling the same. I was mad I missed it in it's release but I wasn't expecting a heck of a lot. But wow, I was just like that really blew me away.

I was watching this old movie..if any one knows what it is, let me know I will look it up as well. It was Barbra Stanwick(spelling) and gary cooper. She was a new paper writter and he was a ex ball player who went along with a scheme playing a made up guy called John Doe? The stupid station cut it off before it finished!! I was really enjoying it as well I want to finish it.

Oh it was Jesse james vs. Dracula and it was God awful.

Oooh! Liz, that's Meet John Doe! A fantastic Frank Capra movie, I love it! Gary Cooper is adorable in that movie, so cute, and so is Barbara Stanwyck. (In case you missed the beginning...) She's about to loose her job as a newspaper columnist, so she makes up a suicide letter to the newspaper from an anonymous person, "John Doe", and that saves her job. The "John Doe" character writes columns for the paper, but it's really her. He gets so popular with the readers that they have to find someone to play him, so they hire a homeless Gary Cooper. I hope you get to see the whole movie at some point. It's very sweet and touching, I love it so much!

Ugh. It kind of makes me sick that they made Beowulf into an animated movie. I recently read the book and actually really enjoyed it, and (just like you said) I heard they didnt follow the plot at all. Sad. I would like to see a real-people Beowulf true to the actual epic. Even though I heard it was good from people who hadnt read the poem (like you), I just think I would automatically go into watching it with a negative attitude.

I don't know why I've never heard of this movie! I love Gary Cooper and I love anything that Frank Capra made. I'll have to see if they have this on netflix. It sounds like a really cute movie

I'm pretty sure we are taking Jay to see that Sat after his dentist appointment (more sympathy for him!) so I will let you know!

QOE I could just hug you! Thank you, I had got busy with my mom so I didnt have time to look it up. I'm going to look for it later in the video stores

I remember reading it all in one evening in high school, and then spending the entire night having nightmares about running into Grendel in all sorts of random places!

I agree with you though, having read the poem, I'd have expectations...I'm sure I'll watch it when it comes out but I'm expecting to be a little disappointed.

I had already moved 'Hot Rod' above it on my list, but Mrs RC had already bought 'Superbad'. So we watched 'Superbad' last night.

The formula for these movies is always shock mixed with comedy. Porkies had the shock shower scene, American Pie had the pie, etc. Superbad tries to be shocking with the crude dialogue (and some cartoons as well). I can deal with crude dialogue (I like Deadwood) but the Superbad dialogue seem forced and a little too much for me.

I enjoyed the comedic scenes and I was entertained by the film, but overall I thought that Superbad was overrated. 8.00 on imdb? No way.

About the acting, I'm assuming that the directors asked Michael Cera to act just like his AD character of George Michael. I'm a huge Arrested Development fan, so I was ok with that.

I found this interesting trailer for the movie The Namesake its a modern movie about Indian culture and American culture regarding love and differences. The trailer is really interesting, IMO. But may not be someone elses cup of tea.

I wtched It's a Wonderful Life last night, I LOVE that movie, it the best! I don't cry very often at movies, but I was like this-> + + + !

I watched almost the first half of the film last night. I always keep forgetting how it's such a marvelous holiday film. The scene that always gets me bawling is when a young George explains to his old boss(I forgot his name) how he mixed up the pills & how it's not the bosses part for what happened to his son. I could never hold back the tears. Now I plan to finish it tonight.

Last night I finally watched Superbad. It was actually pretty funny. The only scene that made me want to throw up is when Seth discoverd the blood on his jeans. Ewww, it looked so real. Evan was absolutely adorable. I wish there were respectable men like him in the world . Fogell was a riot ahaha. McLovin is a pretty sweet surname. However, I think the best characters were the cops . The world needs more cops. Overall, I liked it & found it pretty good .

I know, I loved that too! The end is just so sweet and not sappy or anything, it's just so nice that after all he has done for others, they repay his kindness! Jimmy Stewart was also just amazing in it! And Donna Reed is so pretty and did a wonderful job too! Oh, and they had a charleston competition, they were SO good !

I haven't seen Superbad, heard a lot about it though.

Edit: OMG, I'm one post away fro 4000 ! Awesome !

I watched 16 candles late last night. I miss movies like that

I looove Sixteen Candles, Liz! Its so funny!

Question for anyone who has seen BBC's North & South!

What MPAA rating would you give it? I still haven't seen it, but I'm considering getting it as a gift for someone.

Its pretty tame, I do not recall any curse words. There is no nudity for sure.

I know that bubblewrap can add more to it than me.

Now you have me in the mood to watch again

Thanks!

Liz!! (and anyone else who loves Frank Capra movies) that movie, Meet John Doe, is going to be on again tonight at 6:30 PT. I hope you get a chance to see it again!

I would say PG- especially the 4th part. Like OH said- there's not really anything bad in it. There's just a few violent moments here and there

I thought the entire thing seemed forced. The language was too much for me...an unrealistic amount of cursing.

I'm watching Cinderella Man on TNT right now...I've seen it before, but it's still one of my favorite sports movies.

AGH QOE I don't have cable!! I saw it on a weird station that normally doesn't come in. freck! I'm going to rent it, thats a sign I need to see it

Aw, sorry Liz! When I saw that it was on, I immediately thought of you. When you rent it, let us know what you thought!

Bubble, you may appreciate this:

Hollywood Past and Present

I agree with the language in Superbad. I was uncomfortable with the amount of cussing and other language in the movie. My husband and I laughed through most of the movie, but it wasn't because of the crude situations. I think we were laughing mostly at the cops and the ridiculousness of McLovin. They could've taken out most of the language and it probably would've been a better movie.

I saw that Cinderella Man was on tv and wanted to watch it really bad, but hubby didn't want to. Hubby told me he hadn't ever seen it before! It's such an amazing movie! I laughed, cried, got the warm fuzzies, my heart was pounding during the fights... it really does offer a little bit of everything. I need to put it on my list of movies I need to buy .

Thanks for posting that! I'd seen it before- but it's been awhile.

What better could have been on than Cinderella Man to watch last night? Certainly the football game wasn't worth watching... I agree though...it's not just a sports movie, it's great in so many areas!

I watched The Prestige last night and WOW! It was one of those movies I wanted to see when it came out in theaters, but never got around to it. Now, I'm sorry I didn't see this one on the big screen. It has a great story with twists and turns, with multi-layered characters. I'm in awe of the screen writer on this one!

I loved that movie too! I remember when I saw it, The Illusionist was out about the same time and many people told me The Illusionist was good. I ended up watching The Prestige first which pretty much ruined my desire to watch TI. No way could it possibly match up.
