Great movies

[Twilight Flyer]

Here's some of my favorites:
Animated - The Lion King

I have a feeling that Wall-E is going to score as one of the funniest Pixar movies ever.

Comedy - Born in the USA

Ground Hog Day, Caddyshack, Walk Like A Man

Adventure - Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Arc

Good flick, one of my favorites, too. I loved the LotR movies, too. Can't wait for the Hobbit to come out. The Harry Potter movies are all well-done, too, and extremely enjoyable. Die Hard was a great one, too.

Drama - On the Waterfront

Mr. Holland's Opus, if that could be considered a drama. Fantastic movie.

Romantic Comedy - The Wedding Singer or When Harry Met Sally

Wedding Singer was good, so was 50 First Dates. If you haven't seen the latter, do so. Fun movie.

Romance - African Queen (some of you might not view it as a romance movie)

Never got into sappy for the sake of sappy. Wife isn't into the, either, thankfully. So we look for Romantic Comedies. But the one that stands out in the Romance category was City Of Angels with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. If that don't make you bawl, you're heartless.

Sci Fi - Andromeda Strain or Running Man.

Running Man was good. Matrix was excellent. Any of the Star Wars movies are re-watchable over and over again. For the Andromeda Strain, are you talking about the old one or the new 4-hour one that just came out last month? Never saw the first one, but we're halfway through the recent one and it's really good.

Speaking of Disney, I was listening to my 'Lilo and Stitch' soundtrack today. I remembered what a great movie it was and all the Elvis references. I thought it was a 'different movie' from what Disney usually produces.

I am counting the days to the Dark Knight. I think even my husband maybe interested in seeing this one.

I cant remember the name but the movie starring Jamie Fox and Jake Gillenhall where they go to fight in Iraq, I thought it was pretty good

Jarhead.. that's it
also one of my favorites is Clint Eastwood Heartbreak Ridge

I took the family to see Kung Fu Panda this past weekend. I swear, I haven't laughed that hard in quite some time. Very funny, very good movie!

[Roadhog]

I'm looking forward to "The Incredible Hulk."
I enjoyed "Ironman." :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

I'm a sociopath...so I avoid theaters. Unless I can lurk about in the back row...with the rest of the sociopaths. mmmhuh...maybe I'm not so antisocial after all. Naw,,,I'm too busy trying to control and keep saving the seats next to me, for my imaginary friends...and telling everybody to shut up, and watch the movie. :?

I really only remember one scene in this movie,
:shock: :evil: .
I think it's better left unsaid.

Attention all moms with young daughters.

Penelope is totally adorable, :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
It has a host of great actors, stars Christina Ricci aka Wednesday Adams.
No I'm not partial to my own work.

James McAvoy is so smokin hot. :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
he gets his own five light bulbs ... though I wish he would have used his own accent, not an america one.

Actually Dad....errr Drew10:

You got! Penelope....errr Christina..... errr aka Wednesday is cute.
But in the movie that is so adorable, she plays the modern day Beast and McAvory plays the modern day Beauty.
Ok Ok..... That may be a bit confusing but it's a take on Beauty and the Beast but done in a way the man has to over come the ulgy to get to the woman within.
It is actually very sweet, Produced by Reese Witherspoon
For Young girls to realize they are more then just the outside and you definately want a man to love you for both.

James McAvoy is ... errr.... His eyes.....His voice...... His umm (flustered)
Is gorgeous. He plays a wonderful beauty.

I saw Transformers. I was impressed at the special effects. It was a good movie all in all, just a few gripes though. They never really introduced the Decpticons until the end. Since when was Starscream brown? Wasn't he a blue jet fighter? I guess they had to update for today.

[Twilight Flyer]

Saw the Dark Knight Saturday night.

:shock: :shock:

Good movie, but damn disturbing.

:idea: :idea: :idea:
well .... It wasn't the most amazing movie, but knowing nothing about black jack it was interesting.


Step Up 2 the streets.
:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
Im sure you can guess, I enjoyed it. very urban for me, but it was fun to watch and my boys start Pop , Lock, and break dancing. Cool.

Finally saw Hancock

I like it. I wanted to see it so I made sure not to pay to much attention to the comments on it. I like to be surprised.
:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

I was happily surprised , and ..... Dont call me crazy :twisted:

It was unique and funny, of course there is one scene I could have lived without seeing. The faces of the inmates was enough, they did not need to go there. But still good.

[Roadhog]

I still haven't seen "Dark Knight." :P
I wanted to see "Wall-E"...but that slipped by.
(can't believe I allowed myself to miss a 'Toon.)

I finally watched "Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End."
:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
...but you all have seen it...I'm sure.

Our local Library rents DVD's for a buck.
That is usually how I get to see a movie.
...about a year after release.

Watched "Into The Wild."
:idea: :idea: :idea: :?:

148 minutes long, a film based on a true story.
The only reason I couldn't give it a higher rating, is I was left feeling
how stupid and wasteful this young man was, for such a smart and genuine person.
It had some touching moments and keeps you engaged.
I guess an idealist would reflect some deeper message.
I just left with why do the rich and privileged feel the need to abandon comfort with distorted freedom?
...and why do we need to feel that is a worthy quest?

Well... this movie will have you reflect human conditions and emotions. Good scenery, and interesting characters.

On the advise from a friend I checked out Dune a sci fi classic.

Well it looked vaguely familiar to me, the kids were unimpressed but watched it anyways. They prefer StarWars to it, they used a lot of made up words and definitions it was hard to follow at first even with the outline. It was cool seeing present actors when they were younger. I recognized quite a few.

Dune
:idea: :idea:
I can't say it is going to be one of my fav's.

The Bank Job
:idea: :idea: :idea:
Well it is foreign that's for sure. I got to see tons of the female anatomy.
Mostly during those seens I just watch my husband. :twisted: I love to spoil it for him. Said to be a true story or based on one. Definitely couldn't have been done today, but it was funny, I enjoyed the english accents and the role the ham radio operator played in the whole thing. Roadhog I am sure you will enjoy this and for the rest, I wouldn't watch it with the kiddos.

The Bridge
:idea: :idea:

Not sure who's brain child this was, but a documentary on the San Fransisco Bridge and the people who use it to end their lives.
Morbid. There are enough depressing things in this world then to waste one's time watching depressing movies. I didn't care for it. :?

American Gangster
:idea: :idea: :idea:
Ok so I like the two main actors not the characters they play. It was sickening to see all the drug use, and the disgusting man that could help destroy his fellow man and still sit in a pretty suit on Sunday in church. I wanted to make myself vomit.

I enjoyed that they took him down but 15 years was not enough.
Cudos to the cop who busted other dirty cops, it took big ones.

Nims Island
:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
Of course I enjoyed it, It was cute, and light hearted, Jodie Foster has always been a wonderful actor. She could have used some more steamy scenes but it was a kids show so.

I loved Hancock because I liked the total package of the movie, the amnesia, the back story of where Hancock came from, its being a somewhat comedic scifi movie and his decision at the end.

When I went to see The X-Files: I Want to Believe, I was one of only 3 people in the theater and we all realized at the same time that what we were seeing of Hancock was NOT a preview but the actual Hancock movie. Being a big X-Phile as well as a fan of Billy Connolly and the other 2 patrons agreed that we paid to see The X-Files and would not be satisfied seeing any other movie so we got it fixed within 5 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed it especially because it was so "crowded" in there (I am very allergic to scented products and had no problem finding a seat where I had no problem with that - my husband's and my enjoyment of Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D was almost aborted 15 minutes into the movie when a crowd of people walked in all wearing loads of perfume/cologne and decided the best place to sit was very close to me - I had already found best place for me prior to their entrance so there was nowhere else for me to go - this is why I will NOT see The Dark Knight before it comes out on DVD, has been being too crowded every showing being sold out or very close to sold out even in middle of day)

Trukrswyfe how long was the version of dune that you saw.? it was released in three different versions. their is ALOT cut out of it in the shorter ones, things like the intro by the printess at the start runs around 4min in the short and 11min in the long version and that extra 7min tells you alot more about the story line.

the copy i have has had ALL the deleted scenes reinstalled and longer versions of some scenes also reinstalled and you would not believe how it changes the story line.

if you rented it you most likely got the short one (has over an hour cut out of it) and it is dam hard to follow what is going on
