I am the biggest NON Hillary Swank fan, thats all I can say and still be nice about it. But maybe i'll go watch, Gerald is total eye candy. He was excellent in 300 and 300 isnt an easy movie either, its rough with battle scenes and such. But I enjoyed it.

My buddy just called to see if I want to see Sweeney Todd this afternoon. I'm far too unmotivated to do that right now. I think I'm going to spend the next ten hours in my living room with some Hobbits. It's gonna be a geek-a-thon.

Hey! If I'd known that I would have waited for you.

I'm about 1/2 way through Return of the King. Intermission time.

If your a hard core futurama fan then Benders Big Score is a must rent. It's really so funny. It proves why should have been renewed.

It was very sad, but after you cried there was a funny scene to uplift your mood. Definitely, well balanced. I agree with your favorite scene. Every time he opened his mouth was my favorite scene. haha. No, I loved every time he sang to her, he is so passionate, I love it! At one point, at the beginning of the movie-they were fighting and he was yelling at her, reminded me so much of 300. I found the song-Love you till I die, and its so beautiful. Let me just say, I am very happy with the resolution between Harry Conick's character and Hilary Swank. If they would have gotten together, I would have been very unhappy. Yes, it was a chick flick, but a really good one!

That ^^ song is the one she sings during karaoke, right? If so, it's #1 on the album & is called "Love You 'Till the End." The one I'm thinking about is the one the new Irishman (Gerry's friend) sang, which made her remember when Gerry sang it to her right after they first met. It's a more upbeat American-Irish song. Next time I see it, I've got to pay more attention.

Should we use spoiler bars until they're out of theaters or something? Just wondering...

Yeah, thats the song I meant. Gerry also sings it with his guitar after he is dead-and she tells him she had a terrible dream. That song you are talking about was good too! I know I want to see it again too!

Yeah, I'm not sure on the rules of spoiler bars...haha

I think its safe to not use spoiler bars. If you want to be extra careful, post FIRST that you are going to talk about a movie's spoilers and give some space






like this if you want. Like with the tv thread it says spoilers may happen. I'll add it to the sub title as a CYA move

The version on the CD sounds good, based on the iTunes 30-sec preview. I really might end up going to see it again!


Thanks for the clarification, Oh!

ugh, the nanny diaries. What a bore fest. I haven't read the book but I will now cause I thought the movie had so much to offer in the begining and then went so awful.

Now that sounds like F-U-N, fun! Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

I watched tons of movies while my Internet was down--Underdog, Rush Hour 3, POTC 3, Stardust (lobed that movie!), and the LOTR trilogy.

is stardust really that good? I had mixed feelings on it.

Anyone seen catch and release? I keep picking it up and putting it down. Maybe I should just rent it with jersey girl this week

Thank you! Now I understand.



I like that song, if only Gerard could sing it to me...
I think I might go again too! No joke, I really would like to see it b/c i find myself looking on youtube for videos, but they don't have any yet-just trailers...

Leave it down. I have that movie listed on my extended info on facebook as on my movie hate list. I HATE that movie. Ugh. Do yourself a favor Liz....don't do it.



I'm seeing Sweeney Todd again tomorrow. Squeeeeee!

I saw Hot Rod today. I liked it. It was enjoyable.

Isla Fisher was AMAZING in it. Short of classic Pam, I'm not sure tv/movie women get any better looking.

Has anyone here seen Walk Hard? I'm trying to talk my husband into going, but I haven't really heard any (personal) reviews of it. I've heard that it's funny, but that's about it. Please help me out!

Yeah, I could see you as Hot Rod!! I posted to you about this a few weeks ago--that you would like her in it. Let me see if I can find that.

Just saw Evan Almighty--it was just okay. Not as bad as I thought, but not great.

Here it is--what did you think of the music?

Loved it! Very different for a movie soundtrack. Lots of guitar



Tell him that Jenna's in it!

I heard that walk hard has some full frontal male nudity

Ok this was from IMDB.com:

Michelle Pfeiffer is desperate to star in a remake of seventies movie musical Grease - and she wants Jessica Simpson to play Sandy. The actress is desperately embarrassed about her performance in the ill-fated Grease 2, and wants to erase all memory of it by making a new version of the original film. Pfieffer is thrilled by reports Simpson is being touted to play prom queen Sandy Dumbrowski - and has her eye on the role of the comical Principal McGee. She says, "It's a great idea, and I hear they would like to get Jessica Simpson for the role of Sandy. She would be good." Pfeiffer adds of her own Grease experience, "I hated that film (Grease 2) with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was. At the time, was young and didn't know better... I hear it's a cult movie now."

Seriously Grease NEED NOT BE REMADE, ever! And do I need to get into about casting Simpson? I would have to put myself on suspension if I typed what I truly felt!

God help the person who would think that Gone with the Wind needs to be remade. <~ doesnt even cut it.

^^ In my opinion, Michelle Pfeiffer has a whole lot of things on her resume to be embarrassed about, so why single out Grease 2.

I agree. They need to leave Grease alone, because the original is a classic and won't get any better... ever... especially not with Jessica Simpson. Olivia Newton John did such an awesome job and I think JS would dumb it waaaay down... no offense .

I also agree with not remaking GWTW. That one should be left alone indefinitely... times infinity.

^^If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ITA with O-h and snooks!

I'm going to see Juno tonight. Can't wait.

So, the most anticipated movie of the year is coming up on 1/18/08.
I am so pumped for this film its insane.
Cloverfield is its name.

Official Trailer.

See for yourselves.

The trailers look good. We were talking about this back on page 196 with a few of us.

I'll probably go out the day it premiers

I saw the alternate music trailer for Cloverfield

Wow, looks freacky. Not my type of movie though.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Grease and doesn't want to see Walk Hard ?

I think my mom, sister and I are going to go see The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. It has subtitles cause we're gonna see it at an english theatre, but I don't mind cause it looks really good!

Somebody tried to make a Peter Jackson movie on an Ed Wood budget, and got some beloved b-listers, like Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds and the dude who's like the British Steven Segal to sign on. This looks absolutely horrendous. I can't wait to see it.

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

What kind of wizard has a leather jacket and a pompadour? Elvis the Black?

Edit: Actually, it looks like an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. Some of it looks kinda cool. Some of it looks pretty cheesy. Some of it looks like it was shot in the tiny patch of woods behind my house.

2nd Edit: I've just discovered that Dungeon Siege is a video game. That explains things. Apparently, this movie is to epic films what House of the Dead is to zombie flicks.

Diapers -

Have you seen 'Fishing with Ghandi'?

I'd never heard of it. I just checked youtube for a trailer, but all I could come up with was a rant about ending seal hunting in Canada.

I wanted to catch up on my films today in theaters instead I'm just watching DVDs.

The new Potter movie and new Die Hard came in the mail today so nice alternatives .

For those of you planning on seeing Cloverfield, the Star Trek trailer will be attached to it.

I haven't decided if I'm going to see this or not. It looks really good- but I'm a sissy when it comes to scary movies I had to sit through both Saw and Hide and Seek because my friends rented them one time. I think I saw 10 minutes of both and the rest of the time I was covering my eyes

I watched the final movie from the Fred and Ginger set I got for Christmas The Barkleys of Broadway. It was the last movie they made together. I thought it was good- but not quite as good as their older movies. I found a great tribute video on youtube with clips from all 10 of their movies. It's really cute and the clip at the end of the video is one of my favorite scenes: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - A Tribute

Last night I started on The Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland Collection. I watched the first 2 movies- they were really cute movies. I might watch the third movie tonight.

Juno was fantastic! A great "teen" movie with moderate swearing (unlike Superbad).

RC and Queen (and other Arrested Development fans)--It was refreshing to see Michael Cera and Jason Bateman together again on the screen.

And for any Alias fans (JAM4NEVER, I think?) Jennifer Garner was also in it, which was a nice surprise.

Yeah, I saw the trailer when I saw Transformers a while back, I've been pumped ever since...



What is that exactly?



I love the way it looks! Haha. A LOST and Alias type thing. Well, it is J.J. Abrams.



Thanks PaxLux! Good to know. So, I will see some ZQ action before his movie even comes out!


This doesn't look like that scary of a movie. Saw and Hide and Seek are definitely much scarier, they are horrors. I think this is more of a thriller. Suspense, you know, J.J. style.




Yes! That is me! I did hear Jen Garner was in it and I have been wanting to see it so badly! I also love Arrested Development, of course Jason Bateman and Michael Cera are always hilarious! They have good chemistry. Also, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman had previously worked together on the Kingdom, so they should have chemistry as well. Ahh, I need to see that movie! I have heard the best reviews.

ITA that they should NOT remake Grease, ESPECIALLY not w/ JS. I guess I'm a member of a cult b/c I like Grease 2. Saw it when I was young (way TOO young to have seen it, but I didn't get half of it so no worries). It would have a better reputation if it wasn't called Grease 2. There's no comparison, but it's still cute.


I could see why young people aren't crazy about Grease. I mainly like it b/c it takes me back to my youth. And I love some of the songs ("You're the One that I Want" & "Sandy" - but I know all of them). I'm still trying to decide about Walk Hard. Honestly, Jenna's latest MySpace entry about it kinda scared me off.

I watched the new Hairspray for a second time yesterday, and I think I officially love that movie. It has to be my favorite rendition of the story. And to think, I didn't want to watch it the 1st time. Silly me.

I also saw Sweeney Todd last week. It was good. Not spectacular, not the greatest movie ever made, but it kept my interest! The anticipation of the gore made me a little crazy- but it wasn't that bad. It was gory, but I was expecting it to be worse.

I absolutely adore all Fred & Ginger films & I admit that I watch them purely for the dancing. I pay no attention to the plot . I could watch all their dances for hours on end. The way their feet move to the rhythm is just something I can't describe. It's like watching angels dance.

On the back of the Cover Girl DVD it read something along the lines that the film establised(sp?) Rita Hayworth as the greatest film dancer. Now, while I adore Rita (prettiest classic film star ever) that title belongs to Ginger. She was a phenomal(sp) dancer & it's one of the instances where I was the female move instead of the man. Speaking of great classic dancers, who could forgot Gene Kelly. What a man he was .

I recommend The Bride Came C.O.D with Bette Davis. It's not the best screwball comedy, but it's pretty hilarious. It was nice to see Bette in a comedic role.

Good to know! Thanks for the review . I actually just now watched the trailer thing at the top of the screen and it looks really good! I was surprised. I had only seen one of the trailers on tv and I wasn't really paying attention then. I might have to see if hubby wants to go... or at the very least add it to our Netflix .

Ok, I just saw this the other night. I was so freaking tense I couldn't enjoy myself. But it was good. So, yeah, Will Smith can act. But did I really like watching 50 Gollums onscreen? No. One Gollum is enough. I would have preferred it a little less cgi.

Love your signature HereComesTrouble!

Superbad = Superfunny

I want to see Walk Hard really bad, but that looks more like a rental than a theater movie.

^^ Yeah, I'll probably just add Walk Hard to netflix. Hubby doesn't want to go to the theater and we can't spend the money anyway .

I watched 2 movies tonight- the final movie in the Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland boxset: Girl Crazy (1943). It was my favorite out of the 4 movies in that set. It was a really cute and fun movie. The other movie I watched was The Broadway Melody (1929). It was the first "all talking, all singing, all dancing" movie ever made and won Best Picture in 1929. It was pretty good- though it had a really thin plot and still had silent movie characteristics (cards shown between scene changes to advance the plot for example) The musical numbers were good though. It was just a fun movie to watch to see the costumes and hairstyles of that era.

Oo, those look good! I'll look for them next time I go to the video store! I can always count on you for great references to old films! Thanks!

OMG, I need to go rent these !

I would like to see Juno very very very badly.
