The Beach: Ehh, it was okay. I don't like really the kind of story that it focused on, like where someone wants to get away from the "evils" of society and get to a perfect place. I don't think I realized that's what it was about until I started watching it. Leo was okay, and I wasn't familiar with anybody else in it and wouldn't take the time to look them up.

Been on a movie watching binge lately:

Sugar (okay but not a great movie)

Luster (not a great movie either but okay)

Yogi & Jasser (not very good at all)

John Tucker Must Die (very good)

Dreamer (one of the best movie's I've seen in awhile)

Masquerade (one of my favorite B movie thrillers of all time)

It's A Wonderful Life, Little Women, & Miracle on 34th Street (my 3 favorite holiday movies)

I saw 2 other movies that were okay but I can't remember the titles.

One was about a gay guy who goes to work at a restaurant and falls in love with his boss who is married. And another was a comedy about a gay actor in the 1950's who has to get married to keep his fans from finding out he is gay.

Little Miss Sunshine-really enjoyed it! Abigal Breslin really is the screen stealer in this movie! :)

ETA: Also saw The Holiday yesterday...love Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Kate Winslet so of course I loved it! Jude Law was also really good in this film. Loved the ending!

The Devil Wears Prada: TOTALLY different from the book.

IIRC, there isn't an annoying, guilt-tripping boyfriend in the novel. The friends really brought down the movie. I didn't like the "selling your soul to fashion" tone.

Stanley Tucci's character should be a hip young guy.

I wish they had done the sequence when they're unwrapping Miranda's Christmas gifts and sending out bottles of wine to everyone.

Meryl Streep, Hathaway and Emily Blunt are great. So is the fashion.

United 93: Phenomenal. Amazing. Fantastic.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's chest It was alright but there was too much Keira Knightley in it. She looked like a frog or fish when she was trying to seduce and kiss Jack at the end. I seen another of her movies about King Arthur and she makes the weirdest faces when she is doing a love scene. Totally distracting froggy looking. :blink::lol:

Over the Hedge Very cute. :)

Xmen 3: The Last Stand I liked this one but I wanted to get to know Angel. He was really a blink and you will miss him character. And I was floored when I recoginized McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy as the guy that could make multiple copies of himself. :lol:

Yeah. The writing was the weak point there. By the time they checked into their 6th Homeless Shelter, I was done. The story dragged and dragged and dragged and dragged, and then the ending came out of no where. It was not a feel good movie, at all. I felt like there was no pay off.

I love that movie! Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths are just great together, and ya, ABBA is a bonus. :)

I always thought that if that movie had been made in America it would have starred Juliette Lewis and Ricky Lake..... :lol::lol:

*****

Just watched Frida, finally, being that she is one of my fav artist, and I adore Salma...... the movie was GREAT! Very true to her life, altough her affair with N. Muray seems to have been casually left out :blink:

The director did a great job, very cool style and the movie length was just right....biopics can tend to be long and boring, but not this one....

    • Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.
    • Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.  She is trolling this thread.
    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
