Movies You Watched

[sattie]

I always liked this thread, so I'm gonna fire it up over here!

Last night I watched two rather strange movies...

Funny Games - that was a trippy movie.:shock:
Diary of the Dead - yet another odd movie that does not seem to be the run of the mill horro flicks.

[High Cheese]

I just watched Four Rooms again. lol

[chowhound]

I watched Tropic Thunder yesterday. It had funny parts, but I was very disappointed.

[sattie]

Hey CH.. did you ever manage to catch The Ruins?

[lilylove]

Re-watched Castaway with Tom Hanks again Saturday night.

[chowhound]

noooo. I gest I forgotzt.
I'll go look for it right now and stick it in my queue!

[chowhound]

I just saw that within the last few months, Trish. Good movie. Better than Crusoe, though I liked that, too. I like those stranded kind of movies. Lord of the Flies....

[lilylove]

I just re-read Lord of the Flies last year... SCARY book!!! I haven't seen the movie and I'm not sure if I want to. I'm a big chicken!!

[FooD]

FooD will be screening Frost Nixon this evening at Park Drive Bar & Grill.

[sattie]

Re watched:

Almost Famous
Funny Games (truly freaky movie)
Grind House... all time fav!

[chowhound]

Sattie, I got The Ruins in this week, just need to find some time when I'm not so whooped from snowblowing to watch it. Lately TV has been putting me right to sleep.
Maybe tonight.

[joec]

I got the Black Knight and August Rush for tonights movies.

[FooD]

I enjoyed August Rush. I cried watching this film. My wife thought that was funny....me crying.

[BamsBBQ]

just watched Benjamin Buttons - actually pretty good movie

[Calicolady]

I'm watching 'The Insider' with Al Pacino.

I'll watch anything with Al Pacino. Again, and again, and again, and....................................

[Maverick2272]

Tropic Thunder was a huge disappointment!!

I did like the ruins, pretty good movie.

Just finished Babel, I thought it was a well written movie, but kinda weird in places and slightly disjointed.

Next up is Hancock.

[heb1976]

I got the Black Knight and August Rush for tonights movies.

August Rush was fantastic! Loved it! The boy in it is going to be an awesome actor when he grows up.

We saw Dark Night tonight. I am not big on comic book type movies. It was good, and not to shame his name ... but I do not believe it was Oscar quality for Heath. He was much better in A Knight's Tale. I think they are doing him a disservice giving him an Oscar - seems more out of sympathy. And trust me ... I loved the guy!

Watched Mirrors the other day with Keifer Sutherland. Yet again, disappointed with a scary movie. I swear ... will I ever agian be spooked? Hubby tried watching it with me, that is a big surprise - but left after 20 minutes because it was too intense. He is my sissy man! LOL

Saw Tropic Thunder about a week ago. I have no comment on it ... I hate slap stick humor movies.

I love A Knight's Tale!!! One of my favs!

[Deadly Sushi]

You really bring up a great point on 'scary' movies. They SUCK!

I havent seen a good one in a very long time and I thing Ive given up.

Does anyone have suggestions for them that were made in the last 2 years? :unsure:

[heb1976]

Does anyone have suggestions for them that were made in the last 2 years? :unsure:

Ya know ... there was one that was good ... not really scarey, but good. I rented it 3x before finally watching it because it was made my Disney so I didn't have high hopes. Dark Water with Jennifer Connely. It was really good.

Ok Dark Water.

Ever see The Pledge?

[Maverick2272]

I love A Knight's Tale!!! One of my favs!

One of my favorites too!!

[sattie]

Semi-pro.... what the hell was that???

[chowhound]

Semi-pro? Where do you see that?

[sattie]

Saw it on cable last night, Will Farrel and Woody Harrelson.

[smoke king]

Grind House... all time fav!

Oh yeah! rewatched Grindhouse/deathproof the other night-I Love that movie!!

Also got "The Rocker" from netflix-its as bad as you imagine!!

[chowhound]

Saw it on cable last night, Will Farrel and Woody Harrelson.

Oh...oops.
I thought you were commenting to someone's post :sad:

[sattie]

Sorry CH.... no, it was a really stupid movie in my opinion!

[sattie]

I saw previews for that and wanted to see it, that bad?

[Maverick2272]

Watched Hancock last night, it was so-so.

[FooD]

We watched a very nice Hindi film a couple of nights ago... Jodhaa Akbar

[joec]

There are a couple I want to see 'W' is one that I've not been able to get my hands on yet for rental.

[waybomb]

The Best of Marylin Chambers was on Dish last night. I watched semi-pro instead. probably shoulda just went to sleep.

[joec]

Marylin Chambers, haven't heard that name in years.

[waybomb]

I agree. I thought it was a bit odd. I was going to look at it out of curiousity, but failed too.

[Maverick2272]

Didn't see this around anywhere, and I always like it. So let's get it going again.

Me first: Mr. Brooks. Way wicked film, not scary but just really cool and well directed I thought.

Kids watched Speed Racer ( yea OK I count myself as a big kid so I watched it to, well some of it), they loved it I didn't think much of it at all.

Who's next?

[BamsBBQ]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons... was actually a pretty good movie.. i am not a big Brad Pitt fan but this one was good

[Wart]

Enter the Dragon.

[Keltin]

Just saw Lakeview Terrace with Samuel L. Jackson. He is so awesome. The movie was a bit slower than I thought it would be, but still great.

Sounds like some here have Netflix? I love Netflix. Anyone got the Roku box for watching instantly on TV. We got that, and it is AWESOME!

[Keltin]

Enter the Dragon.

:thumb: :punk::punk:

[chowhound]

Mr Brooks rocks!

[Lefty]

Tomb Raider

[joec]

Watched Dark Knight last night and it was OK. I'm not a fan of Bat Man movies though I do enjoy other comic book based movies.

[BamsBBQ]

dark night - not a big fan of batman but enjoyed this one

Taken - was an awesome movie. Never had an opinion on Liam Neeson but he was great in this one..

going to watch Gran Torino tonight :whistle:

[Maverick2272]

:yum::yum::yum:

Sorry, just had to laugh at myself! Despite posting to this thread three times, I started a new one cause I didn't think we had a movie thread....:huh:
jeesh memory isn't what it used to be...:sad:

[Luckytrim]

Watched Gran Torino last night - - a good Eastwood offering; the story line is interesting, there are several outstanding acting efforts.
The climax has an unexpected twist to it, but not disappointing at all.
The only thing I can actually find to criticize, it would be after the movie is over and the credits are running; Eastwood sings the movie theme song ..................what was he thinking ??

[chowhound]

lol, must be a holdover from his Bronco Billy days....

[Lefty]

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa206/catchspider2002/English%20movies/IntoTheBlue.jpg

[heb1976]

We watched Wanted with Angelina Jolie in it. It was pretty good. I am not an action type movie liker - but this one was cool!

We also just watched Horton Hears a Woo. It was cute, kids loved it.

We have Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (which I will be watching alone) and Fly Me To The Moon (I think I am more excited then the kids on this one).

[chowhound]

I watched that movie a few times, Lefty.
It may have even had a plot ;^)

[sattie]

Meet the Spartans.... what the hell was that?
Harold and Kumar 2 ..... another what the hell was that?
Sicko...... now that was interesting!
Double Jepoardy.... Always liked that movie.

[joec]

I saw Meet the Spartans last night on HBO and I also wonder what the hell that was. Parts of it was funny though I never did finish watching it as I fell asleep about 20 minutes into it.

[chowhound]

I saw Double Jeopardy yesterday, sattie.

[heb1976]

are you really seeing that for the 1st time Chowhound and Sattie??

[jim_slagle]

I fell asleep about 20 minutes into it.

That's my problem. I get comfortable, start the movie, and never see the end! :mrgreen:

I got a copy of "The Sea Wolves" for Christmas. I think I will watch the first of it this afternoon. :yum:

[sattie]

are you really seeing that for the 1st time Chowhound and Sattie??


Don't know about Chowhound... but it we be more like my twenteith time. There are some movies I just need to flat break myself of. But DJ has not been on in a long time so I treated myself to a rerun!

[heb1976]

gotcha! i was wondering cuz i know it has been out for a long time. it is a great movie. i love ashley judd & tommy is one of my favorite actors!

we have the blockbuster online rental thing. i watch way too many movies!

[chowhound]

I didn't think I saw it before, but once it got going I realized I had. Still..... nothing better was on and I could "watch" it while doing other stuff.

[BamsBBQ]

i agree with u on this one... he acted,directed and had to sing the song??

We watched Wanted with Angelina Jolie in it. It was pretty good. I am not an action type movie liker - but this one was cool!


its a must see for any Angela fans...i really enjoyed it

[FooD]

Taken (again)
Terrible acting but I give high marks for its entertainment value.

[CharlieD]

I finally saw Cars. Pretty good actually.

[suziquzie]

I loved Cars!!

Actually saw The Breakfast Club without commercials for the first time in a long tme yesterday.... love that movie!!

[Maverick2272]

Actually saw The Breakfast Club without commercials for the first time in a long tme yesterday.... love that movie!!

Love that one too!! And the title song!

[Keltin]

Just saw Gabriel yesterday. Good action flick.

[AllenOK]

PeppA just told me she's off to the store to get some cheese (she likes that junky American cheese on her pulled pork sammies), and that she's going to get Madagascar II for the kids.

I really wish she'd develop a sense of patience when it comes to movies. We've got a used DVD place here, so if she could wait a few weeks, odds are, they'll have new releases at a discount.

[The Tourist]

I keep a DVD of "All That Jazz" around and I make sure I watch it periodically.

I first saw it as a younger man of 29 years. But as time went on, I found that different sections of the film "spoke" to me for new reasons.

Now that I'm retired, I should watch it again soon.

[babe]

watched the first part of three. about a jewish family in germany during the second world war. lasted three hours. think it was a series on education channel. so far it is very good and very intense.

[TexasGirl]

I watched Twilight.

[Luckytrim]

I watched Deja Vu - gonna have to watch it again when the grandkids aren't in the house.........

[FooD]

Nights In Rodanthe ......Richard Gere/Diane Lane

[heb1976]

Nights In Rodanthe ......Richard Gere/Diane Lane

was it any good???

[FooD]

was it any good???

It was ok.....although it made me cry at the end though...

[Keltin]

Anyone see that new movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson. I just watched it today, and it is AWESOME!

[Maverick2272]

We watched "As Far as my Feet Will Carry Me" last night. Tonight is 'The Bucket List'.

[TexasGirl]

Anyone see that new movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson. I just watched it today, and it is AWESOME!

I would love to!!
I watched Grand Torino. AWESOME!!!!! if this really is his last movie, he went out with a bang!!

Mav, if you haven't seen the Bucket List, it is a really good movie!! Funny!!

[chowhound]

Last night was Righteous Kill. Good, but disappointing.
Looks like crap on TV tonight, so I may put in one of two Netflix movies I've been holding back on.

[sattie]

Fools Gold - 2 hours too long!!!

[TexasGirl]

Fools Gold - 2 hours too long!!!

really?? we were going to watch tonight, but, new cold case and the unit is on.

[sattie]

I think it sucked. Both Kate and Matthew have done much much better. I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. If you rented it Stacy, take it back and tell you want your money back!

[TexasGirl]

Nope, thankfully, it was the new movie on HBO last night and we recorded it.

[FooD]

Anyone see that new movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson. I just watched it today, and it is AWESOME!

Not my kind of movie, but I saw it 3 times already. The film is very entertaining to watch, although story and acting suck....but the action scenes are fantastic.
I put it on for the third time this last Sat for my daughter and her husband who hadn't seen it yet. They loved it.
Needless to say, the film was still very entertaining to watch.

I love Liam Neeson and really enjoyed the movie. I actually watched it twice Sunday.....not to mention all the rewinding I did! LOL! Great action. "You focused yet????" :biggrin:

[FooD]

Rewinding???? What sort of primitive equipment are ya running?? :lol:

:lol:

I suppose there is a better word for it these days. Digital Frame Reversal??? :biggrin:

[joec]

I just got Showtime for 3 months free due to my anniversary with DirecTv. I caught a couple of movies I've been wanting to see over the last couple of days. One is the new James Bond flick that was pretty good and Sicko (documentary). I also caught the one with Jolin about the news guy that was decapitate right after 9/11. Even caught a good period piece fantasy on there yesterday. It had an all star cast (only because I have seen them before).

[FooD]

:lol:

I suppose there is a better word for it these days. Digital Frame Reversal??? :biggrin:

It's like dailing the phone. :D

[Ol-blue]

[/URL]We watched Trapped over the weekend. It has Kevin Bacon in it. It is an intense movie about a young girl with asthma who is kidnapped and held for ransom. My family really enjoyed this movie.
[URL="javascript:void(0)"] (javascript:void(0))

[CharlieD]

Departed, wow, it was good movie, but the lenguage and violance was horible, I do not know why it had to be so bad.

[FooD]

We watched Body of Lies on the dish last night. Good film.

[Ol-blue]

Anyone see that new movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson. I just watched it today, and it is AWESOME!

I saw taken last Friday and I liked it.

[Maverick2272]

We watched Wall-E. I thought it was OK, kids found it hilarious.

[joec]

I watched Sicko by Michael Moore today for the first time. This needs to be seen by everyone is all I can say. For those that don't know what it is about then it is about the state of health care in the US and many other countries as well in comparison.

[buckytom]

i saw "right america" last night.

please tell me that it was just a very strong left spin on things. i mean, i know there's idiots everywhere you go. but i hope that was just a small minority that was selected to make the entire south look bad.

if not, i think i need a gun.

[Luckytrim]

We loaded "Secret Window" last night; hadn't watched it for a couple of years and decided to re-visit it. It's in my top three Johnny Depp movies, and I highly recommend it as a must see.................

[joec]

I haven't seen it yet have but have heard a bit about it. I don't think this is spin but more truthfully than many would really believe nor want to. The world is full of stupid people that are scary in their beliefs so it doesn't surprise me if it was 100% factual. I have actually meet people that have many of the same beliefs in my life, surprisingly more so of late.

[Luckytrim]

This Review of "Right America" pretty much reflects my reaction to the film
(BTW- could we even be HAVING this exchange at our old home-site?)

I have to confess that I enjoyed the film on 2 levels. As a liberal, I laughed out loud through much of the movie. The evil partisan in me took dickish glee at the crying of McCain supporters. I then felt bad about it, and re-watched those sections.There are many genuinely funny moments in the piece. I almost spit my drink when the McCain campaign worker confides to the camera, in a stage whisper, that the house in her neighborhood with the new Obama sign has "two lesbians" living in it.

What the film really does well, though, is to humanize people who are often seen as caricatures. I especially liked the guy who shows up about 28 minutes in. He's disappointed that he can't fly the confederate flag anymore or go to "tittie bars." It would be easy to laugh at the guy, especially when he starts crying, but If you listen to him, he's not against the government helping people. He just doesn't think it will help him.

Then, there's the Mississippi man who matter-of-factly says that Obama is the "wrong color" to come to his state. Another man, a trucker, tells Pelosi he isn't going to vote for a "n****r." But then, a black Mississippi man chides Pelosi for showing that clip to "paint Mississippi bad," when there's racism in New York, in Los Angeles, all over.

I have another confession to make. I secretly was kind of on the side of the guy who attacked the dude with the "Emperor has no clothes" sign. Of course, I'm against violence, but I can understand the guy getting angry. That's the kind of self-satisfied, smug "cleverness" that makes me want to slap some liberals upside the head. Why humiliate McCain with a bad photoshop job, when you can just read his health care plan !

I also must further confess that, when a McCain supporter yelled at a protester to "Get a job!", I was reasonably certain that the person she was yelling at did not, in fact, have a job.

[buckytom]

liberals like to be smug. it's what makes them better... ;)

[BamsBBQ]

I watched Sicko by Michael Moore today for the first time. This needs to be seen by everyone is all I can say. For those that don't know what it is about then it is about the state of health care in the US and many other countries as well in comparison.

i liked this movie as well... mind you if you get a chance, i would watch any Michael Moore movies...

we just watched "7 Pounds" with Will Smith last night. The movie was ok..it wasnt as good as i thought it was going to be but it is still watchable.

[YT2095]

I`v got "Push" and "The Unborn" to watch over the weekend, I watched "the Mutant Chronicles" last night, what can I say other than it wasn`t worth the bandwidth used to download it.
I`d give it a Miss.

[Luckytrim]

anybody seen "Changeling" yet ?
got a bootleg copy laying here, but I'm not sure I'm interested..............

[FooD]

anybody seen "Changeling" yet ?
got a bootleg copy laying here, but I'm not sure I'm interested..............I watched it again on the dish network just last night. I originally saw it on a dvd several months ago. It's a great movie based on a true story.

I saw this movie a couple of years ago. Interesting film about our health care system compared to some other nations'.
But since I don't like his politics, I do not buy into a lot of 'facts' presented in any of his films.

[QSis]

Does anyone use the website "Rotten Tomatoes" when deciding what movies to rent?

I do. Or did. I think I'm going to give up on it.

Today, we watched "Hancock" with Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron, which was panned by critics but we found surprisingly funny and entertaining. My brother picked that one from a Blockbuster list.

And then we watched "Adaptation" (Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep) which was highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes. That was a big "what the ......?"

Maybe I'll just use this thread for recommendations from now on. :smile:

Lee

[Luckytrim]

We enjoyed HANCOCK yesterday........ entertaining...... but I'm wondering why he didn't start losing his strength around her BEFORE she "enlightened" him.........

Then we put in The Ninth Gate, which I've had forever but never watched........shoulda' watched that one first, as I dozed off about 20 minutes into it............

[sattie]

Mr. Brooks.... decent movie, but overly long in my opinion.

[lilylove]

We just watched one of the Harry Potters last night. Twas really good!

[Miniman]

We watched Stormbreaker the other day - quite interesting.

[QSis]

Saw "Mirrors" with Keifer Sutherland last night. It was scary, but could and should have been a LOT scarier, more nerve-wracking, with less blood. Crummy ending.

Mirrors can be verrrrrrrrrrrrrry scary.

Lee

[Fisher's Mom]

And then we watched "Adaptation" (Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep) which was highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes. That was a big "what the ......?"
LeeI had the same reaction to Adaptation, Lee. I thought it was just me...

[Keltin]

Watched Saw 5 last night. It was ok. Mostly flashbacks to the other movies explaining how things happened, but it did have one central new "game" running through the middle.

[Maverick2272]

Watched Book of Secrets... again... and again... kinda makes me miss Transformers...

[heb1976]

Hubby watched Righteous Kill - said it was dumb
I watched :
Mama Mia - hated it - turned it off half way through
Nights In Rodanthe - it was ok - the ending mad me mad

Going to watch (hopefully) either Swing Vote or Step Brothers tonight

Well don't miss it too much.
Right now I'm watching a Nokia cell phone trying to shoot it's way out of a glass box.........:bonk:

[QSis]

Nights In Rodanthe - it was ok - the ending mad me mad



Me, too, Heather! pfffft!

But any time I get to see Richard Gere in a romantic movie, it's worth it. And that inn on the beach ......:wub:

The Glass House

[sattie]

Penelope - Cute movie...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Out of all 3 movies we watched this weekend (Mr. Brooks as well), this was the most entertaining of them all.

[Maverick2272]

Well don't miss it too much.

Have you ever found yourself rooting for the Nokia? I have...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Out of all 3 movies we watched this weekend (Mr. Brooks as well), this was the most entertaining of them all.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall must be pretty good. I watched Mr Brooks several times before I sent it back. I thought that was so cool and unique the way they handled his alter ego.

[sattie]

I really liked the way they did it too Chow.... I loved Hurt in it, perfect for the part.

I saw Year of the Dog last night, odd movie, but I liked it.

[chowhound]

lol, I saw Year of the Dog Sunday (I think it was), Sattie.
Very odd movie, but very watchable, too.

[buckytom]

i couldn't sleep last night, so i stayed up and watched "death on a factory farm".

another leftist slanted documentary. this time i have to agree with the conservative right. and i love pork. :thumb:

i've personally assisted with bludgeoning a pig to death (something i'll never forget), so hanging doesn't seem that much worse. yeah, i understand that it takes a long time, but these animals are there to be slaughtered. is 4 or 5 minutes too long when you are putting a downed animal to death? it seemed humane in a way.

a bullet would be better, of course, but the farmer might get it as well. lethal injection is economically impractical, not to mention that it would require more time for the beast to suffer being alive until a vet could perfom the task.

i thought the prosecution should have concentrated on describing the amount of time electrocution or a captive bolt takes. that would have served their case that hanging is cruel because of how long it takes a pig to asphyxiate.

the whole thing is an ugly business, so i don't blame the farmer. i wouldn't want to do it.

although i'd consider hanging or bludgeoning a few lawyers...

[sattie]

lol, I saw Year of the Dog Sunday (I think it was), Sattie.
Very odd movie, but very watchable, too.

I enjoyed it as well.... not the kind of movie I would expect out of Molly Shannon.

BT... that sounds like a hard movie to watch. I get emotional about stuff like that.

[buckytom]

sattie, it wasn't that bad, really. i guess the tasty boneless pork ribs that i munched on during it helped.

talk about dinner and a movie.

[sattie]

LOL!!! That sounds so like you!!!

[joec]

DirecTv is free this weekend and I just caught a movie called Wild Hogs which is hystrical. A story about 4 urban bikers that decide to travel cross country on motorcycles to add some spice to their rather mundane lives. It stars Tim Allen, John Trovalta, Martin Lawarence and William H. Macy as the four guys with appearences by Ray Liotta and many others.

For the rest of the week I have a few more to watch. House Bunny, 21, Death Race, National Treasure 2, and Zohan.

That is the best!! I love W.H. Macy, lol, too funny!!



I finally got to watch IronMan last week! I love it:tongue:

[Keltin]

Just watched “Twilight”.

What a wonderfully fun movie that was. It’s a Vampire flick, but with a twist. It’s also a “teenie” movie as the main characters are teens, but it is done very well…..and face it, we’re all young at heart.

I love the twist on the Vampire story, and it is a love story of sorts. Very fun, a bit of action, some suspense, nice character build up, and some good suspense building as well. The “kitchen” scene is to die for and all NCTers should at least see that part!!! :biggrin:

Over all, 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I love the twist on the Vampire story, and it is a love story of sorts. Very fun, a bit of action, some suspense, nice character build up, and some good suspense building as well. The “kitchen” scene is to die for and all NCTers should at least see that part!!! :biggrin:

Over all, 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Oh and the baseball scene was awesome!!! :thumb:

[homecook]

Oh and the baseball scene was awesome!!! :thumb:

I just watched that movie the other night with my son. I'm not into the vampire type movies but I have to say it was pretty good. My son's girlfriend is so into that movie!

The baseball scene was the best!! That would be so cool to play like that. I agree about the kitchen scene also. lol

[buckytom]

i couldn't sleep the other night, so i watched "no country for old men". very good movie. i was on the edge of my seat for most of it.

then, since i was still awake and couldn't find the remote, and i broke my legs, and had a temporary stroke so i couldn't get up to change the channel, i watched "sex in the city", the movie.
it wasn't as bad as i'd thought it would be. but i need to get rid of the picture of cynthia nixon getting the snot banged out of her out of my mind. {{{{{shudder}}}}}}}}

it's like eleanor roosevelt in a porno...

[joec]

That "No Country for Old Men" is an excellent movie. I have Twilight that I will be watching probably tomorrow night and watched "Death Race" last night. Don't know why Monday nights are so bad on TV and always seems to stink regardless of the year. Always a dead zone.

Death Race was OK though not a great work of art but a lot of action in the vain of a one of the Transporter movies which has the same guy staring.

[buzzard767]

Last night - "Into The Wild"

[sattie]

The Promotion - eh.... funny parts.

Sex and the City - Fun movie to watch... but my ADD kicked in after the second hour.

[joec]

I also caught Sex in the City the other night on one of my premium channels. It was OK and reminded me why I like the big blond the best of the bunch too. :wink:

[QSis]

BT and joe, perhaps one, better yet, BOTH of you could tell me what the .... re: No Country for Old Men.

I completely missed the point!

Lee

[buckytom]

lol, i guess it's a guy movie.

i guess it's a macho thing to "never quit, no matter what the cost", and to be able to tough out the worst life throws at you.

[QSis]

No question, a guy movie. Thanks, Tom!

They just don't make enough movies like Dirty Dancing. "No one puts Baby in the corner". :in_love:

Lee

[joec]

That is funny Lee since I think the last 3 movies I've watch have been chick flicks, Sex in the City (Movie), Twilight and August Rush. Now I enjoyed them especially August Rush but didn't get into it like the women in my life did.

I agree with Tom too that Now Country for Old Men was a man's movie.

You think Twilight was a chick flick? Well, it was a love story more than a vamp movie. Very little blood (maybe a whole 2 cups through the whole movie), gore, or killing.....not even much show of teeth. But I don’t know that I’d say it was a full blown chick flick. :lol:

What did you think about the baseball scene?

What did you think about the baseball scene?

Sure I would consider it a teen chick flick really. Now True Blood on HBO is more and Adult men's version of vampires. Oh and the baseball game was a great scene also though I found the one with him showing off in the woods for her perhaps a bit better. Now I enjoyed all 3 of the ones I listed with August Rush moving into my top 10 list but still I consider them chick flicks more than a "man's" movie but then I rate Steel Magnolias in my top 10 all time list also.

I've also seen a few others lately that I enjoyed such as No Reservations among others.

[Keltin]

Sure I would consider it a teen chick flick really.

I can see that. It was a fun movie, but a bit soft to be a "Man's" movie. No Vin Diesel, no Chuck Norris..........there was that one seen with some bone breaking though! :lol:

But you're right, it's a bit "soft". Definitely not Punisher 2 material.

Still, as you said, I liked it! The baseball scene was really fun and worth the price of admission.

[joec]

I don't consider movies like the Punisher, a Chuck Norris, etc as men's movies either more a teen boy movie. Now I've seen Vin Diesel in both teen boy movies, chic flicks as well as men's movies so he pretty well has covered all the groups. I actually consider a man's movie more of something along the lines of The Godfather, A Few Good Men, The Devinci Code, historical pieces, good science fiction or even fantasy like Lord of the Rings. However those thing can also cross gender lines as well much like and August Rush or a Steel Magnolias.

Now with that said there are times I don't want to think, be concerned with social issues so I like all movies if I catch them in the right mood can be fun or entertaining.

I prefer my movies to take me away. I don't like political movies or current events. Give me fantasy. I can watch real world on the news! Ever see A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger? Great flick!

You know, I just read the first book - Twilight. I didn't expect to like it but I did! Now, I'm kinda wanting to see the movie.

And I watched Big Stan a couple of nights ago. It's got Rob Schneider and David Carradine. I enjoyed it - laughed a lot. If you liked Deuce Bigalow - American Gigolo, you'll probably like this.

[TexasGirl]

FM, I after reading the book, the movie isn't so good. It is a good movie though. You need to read, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. You will go nuts!!
Glad to see you back too!!

I know my grand daughter is into these books and read them all last summer. I know that is all she talked about for a while. :dizzy:

[TexasGirl]

I know my grand daughter is into these books and read them all last summer. I know that is all she talked about for a while. :dizzy:


My supervisor had all the books and once she finished one, she handed them to me to read. After hearing the two of us talking, the 3rd started them too, they are just addictive!! LOL
Besides, I will take fantasy over real life sometimes.

[joec]

I'm the same with books a good example is I've read the whole Patricia D. Cornwell series about Kay Scarpetta. I help a retired nun years ago learn to us a graphics program and she sent me the whole series in paper back. She passed away a few years ago but I really got into the series. I also read every book written by Dan Brown after reading The De Vinci Code. Probably the first series I ever read was Ian Fleming's, James Bond series long before the first movie came out. My favorite book of all time is the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. I probably read these 4 books 6 times over the years and still get something new out of them every time I read them.

[TexasGirl]

I like Patricia Cornwell. I have only read Portrait of a killer. I need to read more of her stuff. Twilight is my first books in about 5 years.

Adam Sandler always got the good lines, and that cracked me when I heard that for the first time.

[joec]

I like Patricia Cornwell. I have only read Portrait of a killer. I need to read more of her stuff. Twilight is my first books in about 5 years.

What was good about it is I got the series complete to the date and each book built on the previous one. Isabella (the retired nun) actually gave me a list of what order to read them in. It fascinated me that a nun would read this series until I got to know her better. She was a really interesting woman.

Cornwell also did the definitive book on Jack the Ripper, which some historian's beleive she actaully solved the case of who it was. I know she is a family friend of Billy Graham and his wife and wrote a book about them also. She is an excellent writter.

Another of my favorite books was one called Audrey Rose but can't remember the author's name.

[Derek]

what got me was when Bob kicked his ass and said, No, the price is right....Bitch! ROFLMAO!!Your right, That was freaking funny, I'm surprised Bob Barker played him self in that movie, or any movie that period.

The other night I stayed up for about the same amount of hours to watch Black sheep and Tommy boy.

[buckytom]

lol derek. umm, no, this wasn't a chick flick. "sex in the city" or "steel magnolias" are chick flicks. boobie flicks just have a set of redeeming qualities, often shown in pairs.

[heb1976]

We saw Yes man - Jim Carey's new one. It was pretty funny! I liked it.

We watched in the past 2 weeks :
Seven Pounds - not what I expected, get some kleenex for sure
Marley & Me - great movie, very funny - but OMG, grab about 10 boxes of kleenex - maybe not suitable for little kids (mine cried like babies - they are 8 & 4)
Bedtime Stories - I really liked this one, but I love Adam Sandler
Ghost Town - Surprisingly very good! Lots of funny spots!

[TexasGirl]

Wow Heather, lol, you don't watch movies very often, huh??
Thanks for the reviews. I have heard about Marley and Me. I can't wait to see it.

[heb1976]

umm, I have no life! LOL When I canceled Blockbuster - the total movies rented last year was 1345. We have had Netflix for 2 months and I have rented 37. I love me a good movie - problem is - there aren't many out there.

[BamsBBQ]

we watched two kids movies last night

The Tale of Despereaux
Bolt

these were both very entertaining... yah we were bored and needed some comedy..i would recommend these.

cant wait for True Blood to come back this season.. ohhhh Sookie:wub:...lol

[BamsBBQ]

bumping this up

with mrs bam visiting her family in WI, i have lots of free time on my hands..lol

Milk (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013753/) - pretty good movie, was difficult to watch Sean Penn play an openly gay guy..lol

Cadiallac Records (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1042877/) - very good movie

i would recommend both of these movies.

[heb1976]

Hubby left for FL today so I watched some movies.

Fred Claus - actually pretty good considering I do not like Vince Vauhn

The Day The Earth Stood Still - also pretty good, but I think it could have been better.

Friday night I will be watching Dorothy Mills.

Did you ever see the orginal of the Day the Earth Stood Still? If so this one was a poor knockoff with better special effects. I'm sure you are a little young to remember it though I saw it in the theather when in came out. You might have caught it on TV now.

[heb1976]

No I haven't. I will have to rent that and see. I know hubby will want to watch the original.

I saw "Doubt" the other day. I thought it was a good movie, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep both did a great job. Growing up in that era and going to a Catholic school as I did, I could relate to a lot of the content. I thought it was written and directed very well.

And I also saw "Pineapple express". Again relating to a lot of the.....aw who's kidding who-I just like stoner movies-LMAO!!

It's the same guys in it and I laughed my ass off. It's weird though. You either like stoner flicks or you hate em. My best friend and I watched Strange Wilderness one night and we laughed so hard that our sides really hurt. We even watched it again the next night. And of course, we both told everybody how they just had to see it because it was soooo funny. Most of them told us they didn't know what we were smoking that night, but they didn't find the movie funny at all! WTF? (It worries me what that says about me and my sense of humor...)

Watched Terminator Salvation recently. I liked it much better than the last one.

DW went to a Red Box tonight with a Free Promo Code and got a DVD for free.

We watched: Farm House

I’ve got to say, I’m incredibly impressed with this movie. It’s got some serious twists, so to get the full brunt of the movie, don’t look, read, or listen to anything about it. Just watch it!

The execution in this movie is nearly flawless, and really carries you through the emotional roller-coaster as the characters develop.

And, since we’re all foodies…..there is a scene in the kitchen involving a grater that I may never get over. It’s probably one of the most horrific scenes I’ve seen to date. OMG!

If you get a chance, pick this DVD up and watch it blind. Don’t read about it, don’t investigate it, just watch it and let it unfold without knowing a thing about it. AWESOME!

Odd thing is, you get even more out of the movie the second time you watch it. It’s really good.

7 Pounds is like that also which I caught this weekend. I had no idea what was going on till the very end then it fit together completely. I think Will Smith is one of the better actors out there but the whole cast was good.

I watched "No country for old men" this weekend-still trying to get the stink out of my TV room!

Pretty obvious which one of the Cohen bros has the talent........

You didn't like that, Bob?
It wasn't a classic to me, but I've watched it a couple times. I like dark movies like that with no resolve. Kind of like the anti-Fargo (lol).

[buckytom]

i watched "the namesake" again the other night. i really like this movie. a heartwarming story of the love shared between the members of a family from india who emigrate to america.

Sooo, "Pretty Woman" and "Dirty Dancing" aren't high on your list of favorites, then?

Those movies aren't anything like No Country for Old Men. I don't follow you... but for the record, Pretty Woman, no, once was enough, Dirty Dancing, yes. I've seen that a few times all the way through.

And I just saw 7 lbs this afternoon. Pretty predictable, but great movie. sniff... :blush:
