And it's time to start a new thread to discuss what movies have we seen. The old thread is right here - feel free to refer to it or quote from it and enjoy your discussion here biggrin.gif

I've watched Love Actually for like the twentieth time. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy watching all those people who are in love. And the performances, I think, are just great. Doesn't hurt that we have Alan Rickman in it, too. tongue.gif

So, what movie have you seen today?

I watched Enchanted last night for the first time. I loved it! Hilarious and just great. XD

We watched Pan's Labyrinth last night. I'm sorry, but I really didn't like it all that much (and neither did my hubby-- for once, we actually agree, although he wasn't freaked out by it like I was). I understand that Ofelia wanted to escape and all and got the parallelism and everything but I couldn't get past the violence and gruesomeness of the movie. And, I thought that Pan dude was really creepy. eekout.gif

We finished up watching Hotel Rwanda in my History class yesterday. It was a very good movie, but hard to watch because of the violence. I don't get affected by many movies, but because I was pretty ignorant about the genocide in Rwanda, this movie taught me a lot and made me really see how serious genocide is and was.

We're watching Rush Hour--It's on TV! I love this movie biggrin.gif

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The remake. Johnny Depp scares me in this.

Just finished watching Catch and Release... I found it very charming and quirky.

I saw Ratatouille again the other day.

I'm watching Death At A Funeral again..I love this final part..the priest was so funny when he screamed at everyone so he can finish the service..

and the other part when Robert screamed "what the hell are you doing in my dad's coffin?!"

hahahah..soo funny!!

This is one of my favorite movies ratty.gif I have the two-disc collectors edition DVD biggrin.gif

Anyhows I saw The Flintstones movie again. I still havent seen the sequel in Rock Vegas but I love this movie and how they adapted the classic cartoon into big screen format. In my opinion it worked really well & the movie is just fun anyways smile.gif The DVD has neat bonus features, too.

I just saw Remember the Titans again for the millionth time. I love that movie and when I found out that I had to do a paper on it, I was thrilled because I got an excuse to watch it. smile.gif And I caught part of Father of the Bride Part 1 on TV, which is another good movie.

I just got back from Vantage Point. It was soo good! One of my favorite movies-- I love all the action, and Dennis Quaid rocks!
Danica56
I love 'Love actully' it is the best. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy to. I just finished watching Transformers, best movie ever, who ever has not seen it see it you will not regret it. It has the best car in it!!

Queen of the Damned Pretty decent for a vampire movie (it did at least have a plot), but far from a great movie.

Christine This wasn't quite as scary as it could've been, but that seems to be the case with Stephen King movies/books.

Stepford Wives (1975) It was interesting to see the difference between this one and the newer version which I'd seen sometime earlier this year. I think this one was a bit subtler

National Velvet I enjoyed this one. It was very sweet and fun. I couldn't believe how young Elizabeth Taylor and Angela Lansbury looked in the movie.

The Yearling This was exactly what I thought it would be, an excellent coming of age sort of tale.

Old Yeller and Savage Sam weren't as good as I thought they would be. Somehow they just didn't really have the emotional impact I thought they would.

I watched American Gangster with Denzel Washington, it's a wonderfully realistic and awesome movie!!

Also, Apocalypto is very very sweet I give both 5 stars!!!! clap2.gif

THE SAVAGES **1/2
Cast: Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Bosco, Peter Friedman, Debra Monk, Margo Martindale.
Dir: Tamara Jenkins.

Although it is very well-acted, well-directed and well-written, there's nothing really extraordinary with Tamara Jenkins' latest effort. It tries hard to be both a family drama and a quirky, brainy comedy. But ends up not being really outstanding at both. It was all just...fine. Linney, Hoffman and Bosco make it interesting to watch.

I watched, "Sense and Sensibility", last night. I had completely forgotten that Imelda Staunton and Hugh Laurie were in it!
SnapesSister
I'm watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition.
I'll be watching The Two Towers straight after!
potter2005

I love these films great acting and really well written

Hugh Laurie took a tiny throw-away role in that movie and created a hilarious, and ultimately, humane character that rises above the original that Austen created. It is not often that happens.

I saw Ocean's Eleven on DVD *again*. I still havent seen the sequels ... are they good? It's an interesting movie and not too intellectually or emotionally demanding lol which is good because sometimes it's nice to watch something that doesnt require any effort or make you cry rolleyes.gif

This week I saw a couple of Uk releases.
21 I enjoyed it, however they could have cut the length a bit. I actually read the "true" story a couple of years ago, & the film certainly added lots to make the story more interesting. In reality the MIT students had to practically shout out- 'look we've been cleaning up Vegus for ages & you haven't noticed'!

Street kings something about this film just didn't work. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it was the plot holes, or perhaps the length, but it just didn't quite work.

In Bruges Awesome biggrin.gif Very funny, very violent, superb city, superb cast, great script
Deathly Hallower
At the moment I'm listening/watching GoF on t.v. It's definitely my least favorite HP movie, but I'm watching it anyways. Gambon is far too dramatic and angry in this film. I just got to the part where Harry's name came out of the Goblet, and I had forgotten just how angry Gambon was in this film until now.

I had it on for about five minutes but now my mom has it and is watching Design to Sell..so that is what I am watching now...I will watch GOF in a little bit though!

I saw this movie called Imagine you and me. It was like some sort of Love actually-like film. I mean, it had the main pairing (although they were two girls in this one), the old, married and disfunctional couple, two little kiddies who were super cute and smart, a really nice soundtrack and the usual English humor (or lack thereoff sometimes, you still can tell it is English). Whatever! It was really too cheesy for me, and I could have done without all the sex jokes/references. So, all in all, I wouldn't rewatch it.
kendra.dumbledore
Now I am fully watching GOF! But now all I can think about is how horrible Cedric (Robert Pattinson) is going to be as Edward! sad.gif

I watched Shaun of the Dead earlier today with a friend! I really like this movie.
And, I think that I'm watching either Casino Royale or Pillow Talk tonight! Both are really good movies. biggrin.gif

I finally got to see The Golden Compass today.

I liked the acting and Ian Maclellan's voice was amazing, as usual.

NYBookworm
Father of the Bride I and II was on last night and 16 candles was on tonight so of course I had to watch for the billionth time. smile.gif

Walk the line I didn't realize that I knew that many Johnny Cash songs. I definitely didn't know anything about his life (other than the all in black thing). That really made the movie very interesting for me, though I have no idea how accurate it was.

Cutting Edge III I'd seen the first two a while back and enjoyed them so I figured I should watch this one as well. It was cute and sweet and extremely predictable but that works for this type of movie.

Princess It was exceedingly cheesy, poorly acted, and had numerous not so great CGI. Nonetheless the storyline was cute and enough to sustain the movie.
{{voldy}}
Eugh, I saw the commercials for Princess, and it seemed like a typical cheesy ABC Family movie. XD

Anyway, I watched the last half hour of Goblet of Fire, as it was on TV. ^_^
Fer_keeper
I forgot I also watched the Black Cauldron today! I love that movie, but it makes me feel so very old. Hehe, who else thinks that Helena should have smacked the hell out of Tarold when he said "What do/can girls know about swords?"?
Harry's Horntail
My Boy Jack was just on TV here cry.gif It was very emotional, especially the family's reactions after they found out he had died. I just know I'm going to be an emotional wreck after Dobby dies in the movies. The reactions of the survivors always gets to me more than the deaths themselves cry.gif
Lord Montymort
I watched Next last night. I liked the format of this film, but, I was severly disappointed with the ending of the film. Felt it was such a cop out.
Moose_Starr
I watched Flushed Away on DVD again lol. I love this animation, it has a totally awesome cast, the sound track rocks and the story is great, too. It has laugh out loud moments but also has real depth to it. And of course the singing slugs are totally cool lol biggrin.gif And, the DVD has neat bonus features, too smile.gif

DVD: Pitch Black. I wasn't sure if this would be any good, but gave it a shot. Vim Disel is GRRRR Vim Disel. Not bad for an Indy, but when I was trying to watch the extras with Vim talking about the film I got very bored.
sherman
I'm watching Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson. It's a really good movie! biggrin.gif

I'm watching The Last Samuri with Tom Cruise now! I really like this movie; most people I know don't, but I don't really know why. biggrin.gif
Lord Montymort
Got round to watching Beowulf. It may not be amazing, but I enjoyed it.
syimishah
Sethtaylorsummer, I'm soo jealous! I wanna see it too..the poem alone made me sad.. cry.gif


I watched Babel last night (well, half of it actually..) I didn't quite understand it since it was already 1 hour into the movie..so I checked it out at Wikipedia and learn what the whole movie was all about..looked really interesting. I usually would avoid such movies as it's too heavy sometimes..but I always ended up watching them cause it's always good..maybe I was really in the mood for it.. wink.gif

Thirteen was better than Twelve, but Eleven was still the best.
BaronessTarletonTavington
Dragonheart, with Jason Isaacs( squee.gif ) and David Thewlis(Lupin). Not the best movie ever made, but it was worth watching, just to watch Jason drop his pants! surprise.gif darkmark.gif
Phoenix_226
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I can never watch this movie too many times even if I know all the lines by heart. I'm so excited for the "second" one coming out soon!! biggrin.gif

And now, Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I haven't seen this in forever. Somehow I cannot get the image of Johnny Depp as a bloodthirsty barber out of my head though. blink.gif

Three great mvoeis on Tv yesterday, so of course I had to watch.

Mrs. Doubtfire I love this movie! there's just something so cute and sweet about it, along with it's funny moments.

Selena The music and story (esp. as it's based on a real person) are heart wrenchingly great in this movie and I could watch it a thousand times.

Stepmom Another tear jerker type movie that I just love and can't help crying while watching.

I love this movie. I haven't seen it in a while though. ponder.gif

Now, I'm watching Freaky Friday. The remake. I think it's hilarious. One of the movies with Lindsay Lohan that I can tolerate. tongue.gif
Harry's Horntail
Well we had a huge day of movies yesterday since it was school holidays and a not very nice day.

So, we first watched Night at the Museum, which is always entertaining, especially now that my kids have moved on from watching it every day to just once in a while smile.gif

Then it was the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice. I love that version it's just so faithful to the books but lively and charming as well wub.gif

Then I watched Mr Brooks, which is creepy and weird and both Kevin Costner and William Hurt were brilliant. It played out nothing like I expected at the start. But I did work it out how it would play by about halfway through.

And finally by way of settling down I watched PoA for dessert.
firekeeper
I watched The Mummy again today. I really like this movie. cool.gif
Harry's Horntail
I forgot to mention that before I had 'dessert' of PoA I also watched Strictly Ballroom to relax a bit after Mr brooks. I love that movie ... it's just so happy smile.gif
Moose_Starr
I saw Over The Hedge on DVD. I've seen this movie a couple times at a friends house but, this time I watched it at home which meant that I could watch all the bonus features, too lol biggrin.gif
It has an awesome cast, and the animation is really good, I think it was probably one of the best (like using technology for realism) before Ratatouille came along. The sound track rocks and I just love the story, it's funny & sweet & has depth. And the animals are so cute lol rolleyes.gif
Moose_Starr
(No one else is watching movies?) unsure.gif
I saw Sky High which I thought was really good in places but less good in others but, overall it was a good movie, and the stunt effects are cool.
