I have just watched Slum Dog Millionaire and it was excellent. I know that any film that wins 8 Oscars should be pretty good but I was still surprised.
I can highly recommend it!

I concur

Slum dog was a great movie.

I watched a horrible movie recently, Twilight.

I watched Gran Torino last week, it was a good film and it is worth going to see although it was a little predictable.

If I fall out of my wheelchair in the woods would anybody hear me?

Does Murderball count? Just got my copy and watched it yesterday. Inspirational. Everyone should see it whether or not they are disabled.

Whoever on here recommended it, thank you.

The other evening Eva and I watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

It was certainly 'curious', but we just had to keep watching. We liked it.

Well, last night I watched The Last Unicorn. Seriously. I bought it on DVD, got all nostalgic since it was my absolute hands down favorite movie as a kid, and it was still as awesome (yet much cheesier) as I remember it. It's a freakin' classic. Anyone in their late 20s and early 30s should know what movie I'm talking about. It's a cartoon.

I happened to get my hands on a copy of Taken, with Liam Neeson. I am not a huge fan of action movies but this did prove to be a decent movie.

Yeah, I heard Taken was good. A few people I know have said the same thing. Maybe I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD.

Last week I watched Changeling and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, both movies disappointed me. I also watched Inside I'm Dancing which is a pretty good Irish movie that made me cry!!!

The drive in i go to always does double features so i end up seeing some random good ones. Dragonball was good...but i never watched the show. And Wolverine Origins was interesting and certainly had plenty of action but didnt feel as much like an x MEN movie.

Forgive me for being so opinionated, for the ten thousandth time, but, "No Country For Old Men" is a work of frigging art!
And the ending was PERFECT!

Course that's just my opinion, but I DO know better than every one else. el oh el

Yep, I've given a couple of copies of that away to a few people newly injured and in rehab thinking that their life is over.

The Wrestler was suprisingly pretty good and damn Marisa Tomei was hot.

Wanting to get out and watch the new Start Trek and new Terminator coming out later this week.

Watched 7 lbs a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty damn good also.

Quantum of Solace was not a good Bond movie.

I'm so glad my brother introduced me to Redbox at Wal-Mart. I hadn't rented a movie in years, but now I have pretty much 2 or 3 times a week for the last 3 or 4 weeks.

Talking about strange people; I just watched "Quid Pro Quo" and then went online to check on those strange and sick people and I couldn't believe my own eyes! Damn :doh:

I just saw Star Trek. Growing up outside of the US, while I was aware of the show and had seen a few episodes, I didn't know it well. I was more of a Doctor Who fan! I loved the new movie. It was exactly what you want from a summer blockbuster: it was fun. Loud, entertaining, don't-think-too-much-about-the-science fun.

Watched Kidulthood http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Kidulthood

Good movie, brought back some very strong memories.

(sorry for the wikipedia link, instead of imdb, lazy and already a tab open on it)
