Rewatched The 13th Warrior. I love that movie.

[twisted_ophelia]

I saw that X Men Wolverine movie on Saturday and then Angels & Demons on Sunday. I haven't gone to the movies in ages so it's kind of funny that I saw two this weekend. Both were pretty good. Not great but good.

Yea 13 Warrior was a good movie, wife was watching it on TV last night.

Wolverine was ok, but to much special effects that looked like special effects to me.

I'm not a trekie(sp?) but the Star Trek movie was pretty damn good. Of course tons of special effects like Wolverine, but they were done very good and didn't look like half the movie had the actors filmed in front of a blue screen. My wife who is also not a trekie and probably hasn't ever watched any of the original left the movie wanting to go dig up some of the old shows to watch it, so I recommend this movie more then any others I have seen in the last year or two.

I watched seven lbs. over the weekend....real good movie.

seen twilight and i liked the movie(because edward was nice to look at...hehehe) the book is a million times better. books always are but to me in this case the movie doesn't even do the movie justice.
I hope im not the only one who understands what i just said.

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.

Don't even get me started on that trash

[kdenon01]

Watched In Bruges last night, very funny.

So looking forward to 'the wrestler' - loved 'no country for old men' was satisfied with 'angels and demons' - The Clint is great, the rest of the cast was so, so in Gran T'
If you want something else on your plate, go and see 'Antichrist' by Danish Lars Von Trier - it's .. well.. different.

Ya, great music, great actors, and great cars. But that '55 would've wasted that coupe

Just saw the Wrestler from Netflix. Ireally liked Micky Rorke in it. He bulked up ALOT and reminded me of a Hulk Hogan look-a-like.
4 out of 5 stars for me, and I don't do tv wrestling, ever.

Thanks Q for this update, I'll give it a shot.
I don't like wrestling as well and that was keeping me from watching it!

Mirsa Tomei as a stripper, worth 4 out of 5 on that point alone.

Guess what was in my mailbox today, a gift from NetFlix; The Wrestler. I'm a big fan of Mickey Rourke's, have been since I saw him in The Pope Of Greenwich Village with Eric Roberts...a great movie if you haven't seen it...Body Heat and Domino aren't to bad either.

I watched it last night! Good movie and Marisa Tomei - She just took Angelina Jolie place in my heart.

Watched The Wrestler late wednesday night, enjoyed it a lot, Mickey Rourke's performance was great and yep MT is looking mighty fine; with and without clothes

Finished an old favorite last night, Ladyhawk, just wanted a bit of fantasy/romance for a change.

I watched the curious case of Benjamin button...I have to agree with scribs...its curious alright.

We own the night...could have been better.

Cocaine Cowboys; Was a nice documentary on the cocaine trade in the 80's in Florida.

I watched "Endless Summer" for the 213284308th time...still good.

What the hell? Just on that point alone the movie got 7 out of 5. Holy damn was she hot in that or what. And she's 40+ isn't she?

The International

Kinda makes you wonder about all that debt out there and whose is really dancing, pulling the stings...not a half bad thriller.

Wathced Mall Cop . . . meh.

I also watched Inside I'm Dancing which is a pretty good Irish movie that made me cry!!!

Inside I'm dancing is on tv, looks like I'll be crying again tonight

[twisted_ophelia]

I went and saw My Life In Ruins with a friend of mine who really felt like seeing a chick flick. It was pretty cute. VERY cheesy. And it may not be a movie but I just watched the True Blood Season 1 box set and it was AWESOME. That show kicks ass. Totally bizarre, spooky, witty, clever and funny all at the same time.

Watched "The Hangover" - hilarious movie!
Remind me of my younger days!

Saw "The Happening" directed by M Night Shyamalan

His movies are scary in a thought provoking sense, not necessarily a gory sense.
I liked it mosly because it wasn't a chop-em-up psycho thriller. I guess I've outgrown that genre or they've just gotten to scripted and predictable.

His last movie, "The Village" was good too. Scary, but with a real story line and also thought provoking.

I love his films in general. Very thought provoking indeed. Movies like Signs, The Village, Lady in the Water, I own and love to watch over and over again. I like that they creep me out but without the chopping-body-parts-gore factor. I mean, sometimes I enjoy a good gorey horror movie but most horror movies these days are cheesy crap.

A few weeks ago I bought Beetlejuice at Best Buy because it was really really cheap. A friend of mine and I watched it twice in a row because we had forgotten how awesome that movie is and got such a kick out of it. Total classic. Tim Burton is fabulous. I can't wait for his Alice in Wonderland film that he's currently filming!

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Running Down A Dream

One of the best rocumentories I've seen. Not only do we see the band's personal and musical evolution, we also get a glimpse into the life of a master poet/songwriter, the wheres, whens and whos that helped shape him and his unwavering ethics that helped change the music industry.

Don't miss this 2 DVD set, it's fantastic

[fatdave]

Crank 2: High Voltage - Funny action movie, more like a video game than a movie.

Transformers 2 - don't get me started on that crap, its almost unwatchable.

WHAT?? there was actually a argument over "No Country For old men" being a good movie or not?? Hmm.. i couldn't stop watching it from beginning to End myself. I just watched "watchmen" it's pretty cool.
