Members bandbfan Posted December 19, 2006 Members Share Posted December 19, 2006 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted December 19, 2006 Members Share Posted December 19, 2006 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Laurie Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) 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!

Members Tishy Posted December 25, 2006 Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 A Christmas Story, again and again and again. You know, we own it, but it doesn't seem the same unless it is on TBS and on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted December 25, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) 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.

Members JinkiesP Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 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. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JinkiesP Posted December 31, 2006 Members Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) Charlotte's Web It was very cute. I got choked up though when Charlotte died and I even knew she was going to die. Oh yeah I also watched The devil wears Prada. I liked it but I think I prefer Ugly Betty.

Members KLN Posted December 31, 2006 Members Share Posted December 31, 2006 LoL! I thought it was a little long, but for the most part, I liked it... mainly for the performances, more than anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted December 31, 2006 Members Share Posted December 31, 2006 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bree Posted December 31, 2006 Members Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks to digital cable, I've been able to catch a lot more movies and I recently watched Muriel's Wedding. It was a very good little indie movie, and anytime you hear ABBA in a movie, well it's going to be entertaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mateo22 Posted December 31, 2006 Members Share Posted December 31, 2006 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..... ***** 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 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.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
