I just watched True Lies (Excellent movie)

The last movie in a theatre was 'Cars'. I have a 4yr old so it was a no brainer. Like I need an excuse, I had a collection of 12 disney movies, before Evan came along already. Cars is actually one of Pixar's better movies.

I'm just too dang poor to see as many as I want.

Superman Returns

Pirates 2. It was pretty good, minus the fact that Captain Jack Sparrow seemed far more competent than in the last movie, a little too much. Unlike what I've heard from other people, I liked the constant addition of plot lines and the inability to tie them up. It fits the style of the movie, and who needs closure?

The Pirates of the Caribbean - the first one.

"Eight-Legged Freaks"----giant spider movie.

My son and I watched this for, like, the 6th or 7th time the other day.
We like to watch people die horrible deaths by being eaten alive by gigantic horrid arachnids.

We're a nice family..........

Pirates of the Caribbean followed by, My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

I dont recommend either movie.

V for Vendetta.

A true masterpiece. Seldom do the movies deal in disturbing and truly profound subjects ......subjects like the dominance of the elite Few over the restless Many.

This is IMO one of the best movies you will ever see.

Woohoo! FT is chatting about movies, and a good movie at that. A lot of people I heard talk about it didn't care for it, but it and it's graphic novel source material make for great entertainment and a powerful message.

Marked for Murder -- Pretty good....A con was released to help the police stop a crime ring..

How wonderful in a few years youll be watching hostel together lol.

Oh and the last movie I watched was Final Destination 3 it was pretty kick ass as far as horrible deaths go :) one thing I've always liked about final destination is the chain reaction factor, and the gruesome gore.

Last theater movie: Pirates 2. Really enjoyed it. Great brain candy.

Most recent tv movie: Daytime Wife (from 1939). Watch it if it happens to be run in your area. Was pretty funny.

I also saw Pirates 2, while I like the first one more, this new one was worth seeing.

Nah, not "Hostel".
We're kinda picky about our horror movies and from what I've seen of the previews, that movie looked like a load of pigslop, with a tiresome plot that's been done 1000 times before.

I don't think I'll ever understand why watching innocent people die in horrible ways makes for "good entertainment."

Yes, "Eight-Legged Freaks" made no pretense to be anything other than it was, a fun, kinda freaky grade B movie. Not overly violent, funny, very fake--it was FUN.
I don't care for splatter films either--they're not scary, just sickening, IMO.
Give me good suspense any old day.

Innocent people is one thing. But to see stupid people die is another thing altogether. Hey look, half of the people from our illegal party out in the deserted house in the woods have vanished. WAIT!! There's a noise in the basement. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE SHARPENING AN AXE!!!!!!! LET'S GO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE.

I love it. You know it's coming, you just don't know how.

007.

Last movie seen in a theater, John Tucker Must Die. Completely stupid and my wife and I were the only non-teenagers in the theater. We enjoyed the movie though. Before that was, You, Me, and Dupree.

Last t.v. movie was Ron Clark. It was the story of a teacher in Harlem and was really good.

Mrs. Doubtfire. Why that movie was popular completely eludes me.

I want to see John Tucker Must Die. That guy is cute and gets into a thong...HAH.

Yeah, there's that, and it is also a funny movie. I find lots of the teen movies to be funny and socially perceptive; Heathers, Mean Girls, Freaky Friday, You Me and DuPree, John Tucker Must Die, Teaching Mrs.Tingle (original title Killing Mrs. Tingle.

"World Trade Center". It wasn't a rehash of countless news stories / documentaries about that fateful day, but focused on a small rescue team of Port Authority cops.

I won't be seeing that one. The wounds are still too fresh.

What silliness.

evakian, I know people who died on 9/11. Mpore than a dozen parents of students in the school district where I worked at the time were either in one of the towers or were emergency personal trying to save them. My son was supposed to be in the WTC that day and had he not already gotten an offer from a different law firm would probably be dead.

I see nothing silly about still feeling too close to the situation to see a movie about it.

I do, case closed.

I guess that is because you are young and live rather far from the site of the Twin Towers. I doubt if you personally knew anyone who was in the buildings or was directly affected by the terrorist act.

I sincerely doubt that if I even knew 100 of the people who perished that day, my feelings would not change.

This movie was not made too soon, it wouldn't have been 2 years ago and it isn't now. Also, you always seem to use my age since you've discovered how old am I, that is not an obligatory thing to do, you know.

I am not using your age in a derogatory way, or at least I didn't mean it that way. Young people are often further removed from death than older people. Younger people more often feel omnipotent and see death as something distant that happens to other people.

Sorry if you thought I was ragging on you.

That may be true for some teenagers, but now you are pigeon-holing me what what you think I believe, you're merely extrapolating. And in this case, you're very wrong, like every time you've assumed what I believe.

Movies like WTC and Flight 93 are something I think every person connected to 9/11 should see.

What silliness.

You tell me I am being condescending and yet you posted the above. Perhaps you should look in the mirror, evakian. I did not appreciate you telling me my feelings are silly.

If you can post where I said that, I'd love to read it. And I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

You didn't hurt my feelings. You pissed me off. That is something completely different.

Someone is having issues with everyone these days. :lolhit:

The difference is, I respect evakian. I really don't respect you, Overdose. I find evakian to be a thoughtful and perceptive poster. I find you to be a whiney pain in the ass.

I've been in a sour mood and so have avoided posting, disregard my "silliness" comment.

evakian, You sometimes annoy me, actually you sometimes piss me off no end, but I stll respect you as both a poster and a person.

I just saw "Little Miss Sunshine", it's worth seeing.

Little Miss Sunshine indeed.
Just came home from the theater as a matter of fact.

Fantastic picture, well-written, and perversely well-executed.
I laughed, I cried.
Sometimes I did both at the same time.
:thumbs:

My wife came home from a trip to one of the 'dollar stores' that are ever so popular these days with a 5 VHS boxed set of Band of Brothers (the WWII epic), unopened, costing her a grand total of $5.00!

I just watched Spy Game with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt on TV a couple of days ago. It was a pleasant surprise. I don't watch a whole lot of movies, but I was channel surfing and got caught up in it.

I rarely go to the theater. I think the last movie I went to see was HP and the Goblet of Fire.

Very good buy. I saw some ridiculous prices for it, and it is an amazing series.

I just watched again the anime box set of Last Exile.
If you like anime this is a really good set to watch along with cowboy bebop.

We finally got around to watching "Sleepy Hollow" the other day.
Great gothic atmosphere, but I do wish that Johnny Depp wouldn't twitch and mumble so---it's like he has palsy, and it's hard to understand what he's saying.

On the Edge of innocence..

Pretty good...

Beerfest.....pretty average movie if you ask me. Nothing too special about it except that it involves...well...beer.

I just saw "Fear" 1996 -- Pretty good!

www.imdb.com/title/tt0116287

Dreamgirls. Excellent movie, lovely musical

I just watched Rush hour one and two..might start on the Blade triology.

Sun Dogs!!

great movie you guys gotta see
sundogsmovie.com

Gone Baby Gone. Real edge of the seat thriller with a surprise ending. I recommend it.

Seen "Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour" last weekend. It was alright for what it was. Some of the acting was kind of cheesy but overall a pretty decent ghost movie

In the Valley of Elah. It was good. Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon were both very good in their parts. It is by the same guy that directed the movie Crash, which won the oscar for best picture although I did not think it should have. I thought this movie was better but it's not going to win best picture or probably even be nominated for best movie.

The Darjeeling Limited

The Darjeeling Limited Is it worth seeing?

Shaun of the Dead

Great movie! Turns out the guy in the movie, Simon Pegg, is going to be Scotty in the next Star Trek movie. :)

March of the Penguins. (2nd time I saw it)

A GREAT movie and should be seen by all. Some parts are rathers sad/depressing but that's how life is for these wonderful Emperor Penguins.

A MUST SEE!

Does anyone agree?

Bourne ultimatum and harry potters newest...
That is it for me for the last day or so..
and watched hot fuzz today.. omg laughed my arse off

watched Nightmare Before Christmas last night with my girls

Last night I watched The Incredibles. It was on TV. We enjoyed it. The movie before that was Live Free or Die Hard with Bruce Willis. We thought that was good.

Watched "Becoming Jane" last night, it's a romantic movie, but also political/historical, so not entirely a girls film :)

I'll just copy the plot outline from imdb, but it is very much a recommended movie, I loved it :)

The year is 1795 and young Jane Austen is a feisty 20-year-old and emerging writer who already sees a world beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice, and dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable - marrying for love. Naturally, her parents are searching for a wealthy, well-appointed husband to assure their daughter's future social standing. They are eyeing Mr. Wisley, nephew to the very formidable, not to mention very rich, local aristocrat Lady Gresham, as a prospective match. But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sparks soon fly along with the sharp repartee. His intellect and arrogance raise her ire - then knock her head over heels. Now, the couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible dilemma. If they attempt to marry, they will risk everything that matters - family, friends and fortune.

Watched Terminator 2 on DVD....

What a piece of garbage!!!

The sound was horrid,it was in WIDESCREEN and white text kept coming up all thru it!!!

Im so glad i have an ANALOG copy!

sounds dumb:rolleyes:

sounds dumb:rolleyes:

Does not!

Although that plot outline payed less attention to the part of the story about her independence and writing, but that is an important part of the movie, and is what made it good... Neither were there a "happy romantic ending" :)

I don't care about the plot line or a "happy romantic ending" it sounds dumb plain and simple. I don't like movies like that and sitting there trying to tell me all the good points doesn't make me want to see it anymore than I did while reading the synopis above.:rolleyes:

Gees...

Well, what then was the point in calling it dumb if not to get a response?
Some of us actually do like movies that makes you think a bit you know.
Anyway I didn't post it to make you wanna see it, just posting in a topic about "films I have seen"..

Back on topic...
Saw another movie today called "The Man from Earth", interesting and different.
Also saw "Invasion", not much new, but ok...

you're right-another "chick flick"....i guess it's not the happy ending i was hoping for :(


:corn:

i still say it was a love story:corn:

:corn:

Notting Hill, now that is a chick flick, one of the few funny ones as well. I'm not overly enthusiastic about those kinda movies, that is exactly why I liked this one, it actually had an interesting story with some food for thought.

Anyway, downloaded American Pie 1millionth (or so) ill have to see that one tomorrow :)

i still say it was a love story:corn:



yes we agree it's a greatly animated love story:p
