Man in the Moon is on TV right now. I can't watch, it's too sad. And Reese Witherspoon is so young!

I LOVED that movie!!!

Just finished watching Big Daddy. I love that movie too. Didn't realize when Tom and I first saw it years ago it would turn into our life, but oh, well!

I've heard a lot of great reviews from a lot of men . My husband has been talking about it for weeks, so we're going to go see it as soon as we can... probably on Friday night or something. I'll let you know what I think if I see it before you .

I saw Persepolis today. It was very good. Funny, and yet tragic in some parts. I highly recommend it.

I watched this tonight: wow- amazing movie. I'm sad I didn't see it sooner! I absolutely loved it though. Slight spoiler Movies don't usually make me cry but this one sure did!

There were two links, one was the Goo Goo Dolls song. I was thinking of doing something fancy to show there was more than one, but I figured it's their loss for not clicking both words just to make sure.

I decided one day to check to see if Anything, Anything was Dramarama's only good song; Work For Food got the honor. It is great. And yeah, wrong thread, but oh well.

I envy you. A pair of 3-d glasses came with my Nightmare DVD set, but it would have been so much cooler to see it on the big screen.

I was terrified of Freddy after I walked in on my mom watching Nightmare 5 one night (it was the scene with Freddy skateboarding, oddly enough). I mustered the courage to rent Freddy's Dead when I was 11, and I was finally able to tell myself he was just a silly movie character. Then I rented New Nightmare...

After the nightmares subsided, I was a huge Freddy fan. I watched the entire series out of order, I think part 1 was the last I saw (or maybe it was 2). I even bought one of those toy gloves, which is not even close to being as cool as the movie one. I'm still considering ordering a exact replica online, but I fear it's the horror nerd equivalent of hanging a model of the USS Enterprise from the ceiling of my living room. Plus, I know if I were to have a party get drunk at my house, I'd end up putting it on and waving in peoples faces.

I FORGOT TO RECORD JANE AUSTEN! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'll have to set my Tivo today. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Has anyone seen Rambo? Mr. PL really wants to see it; he'll be going without me, but I'd like to hear how it is so I can prepare myself for an onslaught of disappointment and moping.

D'oh! Well, I'll just have to go back and edit my post. No one will ever know.

We just watched The Lookout. It was really good--it's about a kid who gets a head injury and these people try to convince him to rob a bank.

And RC, your girl Isla Fisher shows some skin.

We finished watching C.R.A.Z.Y. in french class today. It's actually really good, probably the best Quebec film, at least that I know of! The cinematography, editing and concept was all really well put together, and it was touching and relatable. I saw part of it this summer cause my cousin rented it, and it was nice to see it the whole way through. I know it's french, but I would recommend watching it, it's really quite good!

Watched Big Fish today. What a heartwarming and quality movie. I always seem to forget how adorable Ewan is in it and every time I see it, its like it is new, and I swoon over him all over again...

I love Big Fish- one of my favorite movies!

I watched Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) tonight. (I was in an "80's" mood ) I've probably seen this movie 15 times but it never gets old. I would say that this one is my favorite 80's teen movie followed by Pretty in Pink

That's the best John Hughes movie that he never directed.

I finally saw Cloverfield today and I tried to read through all of your responses to this AMAZING film, and I hope I didn't miss anything if this has already been mentioned...but I think I have an answer for you BTB about why or at least how it happened.

Ok...so you know when Hud was following behind in the alley and was coming up with lots of hypotheses about some sort of alien creature or somewhat and that it was possible it came out of the ocean and got into the city? Well in the last scene with the two lovebirds in the ferris wheel..if you look behind them in the upper right hand corner of the screen you will see something fall out of the sky and splash in the ocean. Their trip to Coney Island was a full month before the happenings, giving the creature time to grow and somehow infiltrate the city? Did anyone else notice this????


I LOVED this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^

Here's a handy dandy link to an interview which confirms my thoughts above. Cloverfield


And hats off to Lizzy Caplan (Marlena) in this movie. I loved her in Mean Girls and she's just as delightful in this role despite the circumstances.

Ya, I've heard that Sharpie. I found this article on Wikipedia (the best thing ever) that says that thing is a satelite

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slusho

What About Bob is just amazing.. Ha ha. "I want, I want, I need, I need, gimme gimme!"

I finally saw Cloverfield this past Sunday and I really enjoyed it. I kept hearing good things on the web, and thankfully the movie didn't disappoint. The movie did an effective job of getting the viewer to care about the characters. That's more important to me than special effects.

I'm glad to see that everyone on these boards who has seen Cloverfield enjoyed it so much. I saw it the weekend it came out and it amazed me. I was kind of worried the first couple of minutes because of the hand-held camera - I get motion sick pretty easily - but I acclimated to it quickly and it didn't bother me the rest of the movie. I read an online article the first Monday after the movie was released and there was a link to a discussion board. After reading all the positive reactions on this board, I was amazed at how many people hated it on this other board for mostly one of two reasons - the handheld video - many people claimed they actually had to leave the theater - and the lack of answers as to the creature's origins and what happened to it after the video went blank. Heaven forbid we use our imaginations anymore, or let some mystery remain after the last reel. Oh, well, I guess we're in the minority, but I don't mind...

Okay, I know I've said it before but everyone needs to go see There Will Be Blood.

8 Oscar nominations...

An instant classic.

PLEASE GO SEE IT!!!

It won't be in theaters for to much longer.

I LOVE that film !



Yes, I want to go see it!

I also really want to see Persepolis! I looks wonderful !

I'm a huge fan of PTA and DDL. I'll do what I can to not let you down. Plus, I'm really curious to see what else that kid from Little Miss Sunshine, Paul Dano, can do.

okay it's done. They are remaking NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET!! WHY!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!

the director of the first mummy, is making this one.
nightmare on elm street remake

NO?! That is so stupid--I didn't even click on the link because that annoyed me so much.

^^ wedd, you have no idea how angry I got when I read the whole story. I'm not a happy girl. That was the first horror movie I watched. My neighbor angel came over and we snuck it in the VCR and watched til we both got too scared and screamed and my mom caught us. all I can say is Noooooooo!

Although I'm not optimistic about this project, I'm 95% sure that I would give it a look on DVD. The 5% hinges on whether they have Robert Englund involved.

Agreed. Baby-steps, Bob. Baby-steps.

I watched Avril (or April in Love, in english) last night. I's a sweet french film about a young girl who grew up in a convent to become a nun, and something happens for her to leave for a short time in search of her brother. It's such a cute film--with an equally cute guy --not extraordinary, but really good worth watching!

I like spirit away the one with chihiro and haku

There's a haiku movie?!

[deep movie-guy voice]
one man...in a world
with no rhyme, just syllables
and lots of action
[/deep movie-guy voice]

Man, I'm rusty. Hands up - Who here's ever seen Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie or are planning on seeing Meet the Spartans? Thanks for destroying America.

lol noooo the characters name are chihioro and haku

Um, I saw Scary Movie (even paid for one of them) and some of the sequels. Date Movie was quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.

Know what was a good movie--maybe what Glacier was talking? Howl's Moving Castle

Yeah, I'll admit to seeing one of the Scary Movies too. It was the one with Chris Elliott and David Cross. Apparently, two rights can make a wrong.

^^^ I knew what you were talking about. I just couldn't resist the Haku thing. I've seen a lot of great reviews for Spirited Away, but I still haven't seen the movie.

Howl's Moving Castle also went over really well with critics.

I have a really long list of movies to get through and no time to sit down and watch any of them.

Spirited Away is a very good movie, it's really confusing or it was for me the first time I saw it. I used to really like japanese anime and cartoons (especially dragonballz...) but I don't really watch many so much anymore. Either way Spirited Away is a great movie, I would highly recommend it. They seem to show it a lot on tv so you could probably catch it one weekend on cartoon network or even TCM if you get the time.

Both of those movies are great, i loved watching them.

Another movie in the same style/genre is "Kiki's Delivery Service" I loved this movie alot! Smooth and easy going. (Kirsten Dunst voices the main character Kiki, and Kikis cat is voiced by the late and great Phil Hartman )

Hubby and I watched "Cinderella Man" last night and it reminded me of how much I love that movie. He had never seen it before and I watched it when it first came out in theaters, but not since then. I love everything about it... I could go on and on about every aspect of it, but I'll spare you . It's definitely in my top 5.

Most Miyazaki movies are excellent. I highly recommend them. "Spirited Away" (which won an Oscar), "Howl's Moving Castle," "Porco Rosso," "Whisper of the Heart," "The Cat Returns," "My Neighbor Totoro,""Nausicaa," "Kiki's Delivery Service,""Princess Mononoke," and "Castle in the Sky."

They're all available in English, released by Disney. They're all fabulous movies. I can't recommend them enough.

That said, is anyone else excited for "Jumper" and "Vantage Point"?

I have all of those listed above !!!

I have all of them except Castle in the Sky.

For my birthday, Mr. PL got me a little stuffed Totoro and a soot gremlin keychain.

looks like it maybe a multi movie weekend, and including Monday as the kids are off for 'winter holiday'

i'm off to figure out the movie list now

Remember how much we all hated the promo for Steve shaving his nose for Evan Almighty? That promo was just on Jay's Land Before Time DVD and he yelled, "That's gross!! Why are they showing that?"

Exactly!

I rented 3:10 to yuma and night of darkness.

I'm really looking forward to seeing 3:10 to yuma. I was disappointed I missed it in the theaters. That will be on my to do list today

Last night I watched night of darkenss before I started a office marathon. It was alright. A low budget zombie flick. It's full of people you don't know their names but you've seen them on other stuff, bit parts. The only person I did know what a guy who used to be on a soap opera, another world
They must have used every cheap effect on their camcorder to make this movie

Forget 3:10 to Yuma. I need to see a cheap zombie movie right now!

George Romero's new one comes out in theaters in two weeks. Gareth already posted the link, but I've never been too concerned with oversaturation. Diary of the Dead

I just watched 28 Days Later. It was OK, pretty good. I didn't think it was scary at all. Pam is a wuss. I did find the part about promising the women to the men disturbing.

I saw Mad Money last night. It's the kind of movie you should watch on a girl's night out.

oh diapers it was indeed a cheap zombie movie. They even used that doggiecam effect. Did you know zombies hate booze?

I posted it, maybe not on this thread but the vent thread..a remake of nightmare on elm street, how screwed up is that?

3:10 to Yuma, EXCELLENT! I love Elmore Leonard he's one of my fav writters. Crowe and bale worked nicely together. I thought it was a seamless western.

I just watched 'Le quai des brumes' (1938) (Port of Fog in english) and it was just spectacular ! What a wonderful film noir! Not only was the story intriguing and interesting and the acting wonderful, the cinematography was stupendous and revolutionary!

For those of you who are film noir/fans of film you have to see this film ! And for those of you who saw Atonement SPOILER WARNING this is the film that Robbie sees after the beach scene in that basement with the actress that says "embrassez moi", just to remind you! The love interest in Atonement as well as many aspects of the film seem to have been inspired by 'Le quai des brumes'. Director Jo Wright must have seen it!

My husband and I just watched "Unbreakable" again. I liked that movie when I saw it in the theater a while back. Since buying it on DVD, I've watched it at least 5 more times. I love it more each time we watch it. It's just a really different and cool movie.

It's my favorite M. Knight film and possibly the greatest superhero origin movie of all time.

Sorry to quote myself but I just realized 'Le quai des brumes' in english is Port of Shadows and not fog ! (Brume is fog in english, hens the mixup!)
