At the cinema - saw "Little Miss Sunshine" last week. Funniest thing I have seen in ages!! Highly recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of off-the-wall humour (e.g. Arrested Development, Scrubs etc).

On DVD - watched "Slither" (gross but hilarious) and "Nanny McPhee" (quirky and fun but forgettable).

I am half way through wolf creek. I was alone when watching it... I need someone in the house before I watch the other half..

I have seriously bitten off most of my nails!

any lovely strong boys out there wanting to hold my hand?
:)

"The Devil Wears Prada" was my last visit to the cinemas.

I'm a hopleass book reader, but I absolutly loved this book! SO much better then the movie.

my last was also little miss sunshine...it was great!!!!

and before that the devil wears prada........i really liked it

i now have the book to read :)

This is the one with Susan Sarandon and Sam Neill. It had it's moments and there were enough twists to keep you interested but I'm still not sure it finished strong enough. It started out really good and I was sitting back deep in my chair trying not to jump and cry out in the middle of the theatre (like the little old lady next to me) wondering what the hell had I gotten myself into!

There were typical 'movie moments' (but not too many) where you hear yourself muttering "oh please, are they really expecting us to buy this??" but overall it was better than alot of other movies out at the moment.

I also recently saw Little Miss Sunshine and thought it was worth seeing. You laugh, you care for the characters and you forget it's an American film.

I want to see Children of Men next .... I'm not a movie buff, really I'm not ....!!!:)

I want to see Children of Men next .... I'm not a movie buff, really I'm not ....!!!:)
I want to see this too!
Has anyone seen The Departed?

I want to see this too!
Has anyone seen The Departed?

Not yet but a great cast! Going to see Boytown tomorrow night, know someone in the cast but I am sure the highlight will be Glenn Robbins and Mick Molloy!

Really loved the Devil Wears Prada! Salivating at all those gorgeous outfits and trying to guess the designers- wasnt that Chanel outfit a dead giveaway though?! Thought Merryl Streep was fabulous. Was the book really modelled on Anna Wintour???...:rolleyes:

Hi girls! The Departed is AMAZING - I absolutely loved it. Lots of thrills and perving to be had (oh my God check out Leo doing push up things on his bed in prison... mmmm... he is now A Man). Great acting all round and lots of anticipation.

Also saw Little Miss Sunshine recently (loved it) and The Devil Wears Prada too - I agree the book was sooo much better.

girls you HAVE to see Children of Men, and not just becuase it is the most amazing, saddest and unreal film ever - Clive Owen is just soooo delicious!!

The last movies I saw was the 911 one with Nicholas Cage and Maggie Gyllenhall. Not the sort of movie I would normally see but I love Maggie and I my best friend and I were bored so thought we'd check it out as we had seen just about everything else. It was very slow and a bit long winded but the story was ok.

Saw Boytown on Friday night - funny movie but crappy "How are we going to finish this movie" ending!:rolleyes:

girls you HAVE to see Children of Men, and not just becuase it is the most amazing, saddest and unreal film ever - Clive Owen is just soooo delicious!!

Oooh I love Clive Owen - I will definitely have to go see it!

I don't mind a little light hearted flash back every now and again.. so I watched Aladdin on Saturday :p I love that movie! Plan is to watch Finding Nemo tonight...gotta love the Nemo :)

This isn't exactly a movie but I love the series Scrubs - and I just borrowed series 1, 2 and 3 from my sister and watch an ep every time I have a spare 20 mins!! (Including 2 eps in my lunch break - how sad)

I love the Disney movies!
I live in the country so I stock up on the 'box sets' of TV shows I dont normally get time to watch (or that don't get aired)...I'm halfway thru second season of Desperate Housewives...

I know this thread is about movies but since TV was mentioned, did anyone see the last episode of Grey's Anatomy tonight? Serious bawling! Cant wait for the new series:)

This isn't exactly a movie but I love the series Scrubs - and I just borrowed series 1, 2 and 3 from my sister and watch an ep every time I have a spare 20 mins!! (Including 2 eps in my lunch break - how sad)
I LOVE Scrubs! Best show ever :) we've got series 1-4 on DVD... actually that reminds me, I haven't watched all of series 4 yet... time for a Scrubs-fest!

Does anyone watch Arrested Development? I love that one too :)

I just saw a fabulous piece of theatre! Peepshow at the Malthouse (part of the international arts festival) just stunning!!!

Just getting seriously off the track here....

I spent last night infront of the TV watching series 4 of Sex and the City with a bottle of wine. Can't get much better then that gals..... :)

Yesterday I went and saw "The Prestige" - with Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson.

Hugh and Christian were worth the $15 :hearts: (especially the bits where Hugh gets his shirt off!!) but the rest of the movie... well... I wasn't bored but it didn't quite achieve the twists and turns that it was aiming for.

At the Cinema ~ Flashdance....No I'm not joking:sunnies:

On DVD~ Dracula with Jack Palance

The last movie I saw was The Departed, and it is one of the best movies I have ever seen (and I'm a harsh critic). Talk about explosive! This is also the first movie that I have really liked Leonardo DeCaprio in, as an actor, he was brilliant. I highly recommend this movie.

Before this I saw The Devil Wears Prada, and loved it, Meryl Streep was her usual magnificent self, I love the fact that she can play such diverse characters and still be believable. Very funny.

I recently saw the Departed too, never liked Leonardo Di Caprio but this film changed my mind. Loved Matt Damon too and if Jack Nicholson doesnt at least get nominated for an Oscar then there is something wrong in Tinseltown!

Also loved Devil Wears Prada and Children of Men was a film I would definitely recommend!

Went and saw the new James Bond movie last night with a couple of girlfriends.

Daniel Craig - yummo!!! :hearts:

Hahaha I saw James Bond on Saturday night. Great movie! And Kate - doesn't Daniel Craig just POUT so well!!!!

Ooooh and I'm seeing Borat again tonight - for the second time! Soooo funny in a bit of a dodgy way. But hilarious!

Hahaha I saw James Bond on Saturday night. Great movie! And Kate - doesn't Daniel Craig just POUT so well!!!!

Yes there was a lot of pouting! Very "Blue Steel" :chuckle:

Its been a while pirates of the carribean 2 - very good but goes on forever and ever. Just when you think its going yo end it starts up again. Doesn't matter though because Orlando Bloom is smoking hot no matter what and same with Johnny Depp.

I saw The Prestige on the weekend, and it was awesome... I love Christian Bale! I also really love Scarlet Johansson, she's my girl crush!! :redcheeks:
I also saw Borat, which was so funny, but hard to watch for embarrasment!

Yes Borat was funny but you felt guilty laughing in some parts.

:typing:

Went and saw the new James Bond movie last night with a couple of girlfriends.

Daniel Craig - yummo!!! :hearts:
I also saw the new Bond film. Its not normally my thing but when we went to the cinema it was all kids movies (no kids with us) or Bond, so Bond it was. While I was hypnotised by those peircing blue eyes, my boy was in lust with all the sportscars. He nearly cried when one of them crashed.

Today we took the kids to see Charlotte's Web. It is really good and made me cry when she died. I was trying so hard not to as I wasn't wearing my waterproof mascara!

I saw The Holiday on Wednesday night. Fabulous flick. Saw the trailer and didnt think much of it but a friend wanted to see it. It was fabulous, from the makers of Something's Gotta Give and What Women Want. Totally a feel good film and even though not a fan of Cameron Diaz, really enjoyed this. One to own on DVD too.

I am going to see the Holiday at Gold Class on Sunday! Can't wait!

I saw Bond a few weeks ago and i love daniel craig as the new bond! apparantly, the original money penny (is that her name?! i've haven't seen any old school bond movies) really liked Daniel Craig because he has a "very chewable bottom lip"...i guess that's one way of looking at it!

ALso saw the Holiday yesterday and LOVED it. Jude Law is amazing...But yes, the actual movie itself is also really good! Jack Black was surprisingly good as well!

I saw the Holiday this week too. I can't stand Cameron Diaz as an actress... but couldn't keep my eyes off Jude Law..:redcheeks: He is SO HOT!! :whistle:

I saw Marie Antoinette this week. Loved it. Think the grannys in the back got a bit of a shock with the soundtrack though.

Off to see Bond tomorrow and Babel next week.

Sarah don't hate me...but I can't stand Jude Law! I reckon he's a bit smarmy and kind of a jerk for what he did to his wimmens (what New Weekly says, goes!). I think I'm the only one in my circle of friends that doesn't like him though. They practically disowned me for it.

Oh raspberryberet I'm the same!! All my friends lurve Jude Law but I think he is just slimy!! I still want to see The Holiday though, Jack Black is very cool and I just adore Kate Winslet!

Going to see Happy Feet with my gran next week, and I also want to see Marie Antoinette...

AF I love Kate Winslet too. Tell me what you think about Marie Antoinette when you see it.

Saw The Holiday at Gold Class on Sunday. Loved it and going to buy it on DVD when it's released. Going to see Marie Antoinette on the weekend. Also want to see The Queen!

Finally saw Bond. This sounds not nearly glamorous enough but in a word - awesome! Daniel Craig, wa-hey!:hearts:

Hi Pcc, I also want to see The Queen. I just love Helen Mirren and particularly all the Prime Suspect stuff. Calendar girls quite missable though!

Let me know if you want to catch The Queen while you are in Melbourne?

ooh yes Luisa that would be great!

I saw Casino Royale yesturdayand as I have never been a James Bond fan I thought I was simply accompanying my darling. What a surprise, I really loved it! :nerd:

Saw Babel today. It was pretty harrowing - I had to go home and watch a cartoon.

Sure to win Oscars I reckon.

I saw Marie Antoinette this week. Loved it. Think the grannys in the back got a bit of a shock with the soundtrack though.

I'm so with you on that one. Even if he does have good genetics and is good looking in theory, every time I look at him I think, what a smary, pretentious git! I also recently read he doesn't mind taking his shirt off for movies because he knows the fans love it!! (you're right - what new weekly says -goes. Except for the things I don't want to believe. They're not true at all.)

He he, you are so right! Though the NW obsession is getting a bit out of control. A couple of months ago I won the celebrity baby name quiz. That's just - well - sad.

Oh heavens, that is sad hahaha I wouldn't shout that one around too much - lol. Did you win anything nice though? At least there's a prize for being a little sad :)

I just saw Casino Royale today, oh my god, talk about the hottest Bond ever, I could not take my eyes off the sexy Mr Craig! The movie was pretty good also! It was a bit sad though... I cried :cryinggreen: .

Just came back from seeing DejaVu with Denzel Washington. Highly recommend it, it was fabulous!

I saw Pan's Labyrinth - eurgh, wouldn't recommend it. Was EXTREMELY violent.

Also saw The Queen and liked it very much.

Oh i finally saw Happy Feet yesterday (love kids movies!) - it was gorgeous! :dance:

I want to adopt a penguin now!

Also so The Pursuit of Happyness - take tissues, also a beautiful movie. Saw The Holiday just before Christmas, I loved that too but heard others didn't - I think maybe cause I'm single, and it gave me hope! :p

Looking forward to seeing Dejavu, Miss Potter, Shrek the 3rd... too many to keep listing really!

I watched The Woodsman last nite.
Its one of those movies that stays in your mind for a long while after. It haunts you. Its about a convicted child molester who is trying to just survive after his release. Trying to conquer his demons. Its very sad & creepy at the same time. It stars Kevin Bacon at his best.
I believe it is based on a book which would be very good. But I don't think I could deal with the subject matter on a long term basis, such is the relationship with books.

I saw The F o u n t a i n last week. Visually stunning and very intense. Take tissues!

I saw Breaking and Entering on Saturday night - it was fantastic!!! Done very well I thought - and Jude Law is hot (so are Juliette Binoche and Robin Wright Penn!)

Yesterday went and saw Miss Potter with Renee Zellweger. In one word, delightful. If you love the slower pace of days of old set in breathtaking scenery, this is wonderful. She does sound somewhat like Bridget in Bridget Jones Diary, but it was still well worth the trip to the cinema.

I saw Pan's Labyrinth - eurgh, wouldn't recommend it. Was EXTREMELY violent.
I agree! I was expecting it to be a bit scary but I thought it would be way more mythical. It shouldn't be advertised as a horror fairytale! Misleading!

(I might be bitter because I so desperately wanted it to be like The Labyrinth :( )

(I might be bitter because I so desperately wanted it to be like The Labyrinth :( )

Yeah me too :( alas, no Bowie :tears:

i saw epic movie. it's so funny! :P

I saw the Holiday the other day, which I really liked! But I thought Cameron Diaz was TERRIBLE in it!

I saw the Holiday the other day, which I really liked! But I thought Cameron Diaz was TERRIBLE in it!

Ok, I'm just going to say it - I don't like Cameron Diaz. I think she's a cool chick but a bit over-rated as an actor. Don't hate me!

Ok, I'm just going to say it - I don't like Cameron Diaz. I think she's a cool chick but a bit over-rated as an actor. Don't hate me!
I agree! I found it very painful to watch her. I loved Kate Winslet so I would just leave the room whenever it was a Cameron/ Jude part haha.

Hard to leave the room when watching in a cinema! I just cringed each time she was on. Guess it's just not you Raspberryberet!

Oh I saw it at Gold Class and I really enjoyed the movie. I must have just been stuffing my face instead of concentrating on the acting! That's the thing with Gold Class I tend to get really distracted when meals etc are being brought to and fro and thus miss half the movie!
Must say I am a sucker for a happy ending and I really don't care who is in it or what it's about I jut have to have a happy ending!

PCC do you like Love Actually? That's one of my all-times faves. I must have watched it about a million times. So funny and touching. Colin Firth and that hot Brazilian guy (Rodrigo Santoro) pretty easy on the eyes too!

I love that movie!
Every time I watch it, I pray that Laura Linney will switch her phone off when Rodrigo Santoro takes off his shirt. She never does though :cryinggreen:

I love it to!

I absolustley LOVE love actually, I watch it on Chrismas Eve... it's my new tradition

That is such a great tradition VeeE! I also love it! Got a copy on dvd first time we were in China and they had the whole porn star couple's scenes in the movie taken out! I had seen it in the cinema and on dvd before so thought this was a hoot! Needless to say I bought another copy for the full version as I found those two hilarious!

Went and saw Volver tonight, with Penelope Cruz. I loved it but the boy was not so keen - the movie was very much all about women though so maybe that was why. Penelope was fantastic - never liked her much as an actress before but she was brilliant in this :)

I love Love Actually too! And I really liked Volver but my friend was not into it. How hot was Penelope! I've never been a fan before this, either.

Saw Little Children last night - great movie. Weird, but great. There's this cool voice-over guy, that talks you through it. Really unique. Go see it - Kate Winslet's body is so gorgeous (you see it nude enough times to notice!)

I'm being dragged along to Smokin' Aces tomorrow.

Finally saw Babel today - talk about heavy! Brad Pitt is looking SO old!:tears:

Finally saw Babel today - talk about heavy! Brad Pitt is looking SO old!:tears:

LB I know what you mean. My friend and I didn't speak when we left the cinema, just said "bye" and then I rushed home to watch a cartoon!

Saw Music and Lyrics tonight, almost as bad as I expected! Hugh looking a bit old, almost in need of a bit of dermabrasion! He and Drew make a cute couple though, is it true he dumped Jemima Khan for her?

The last thing I saw was a few weeks ago when I saw Marie Anitoinette.

I really enjoyed it but thought the ending was a bit weird! Didn't she get beheaded in real life? In the movie it ended that she and her family were taking off to live in exile and then it just finished.

Thought the modern music against the old fashioned setting was quite cleaver. The cinematography was really good also.

She was most certainly beheaded. I kind of liked how it left off where it did, otherwise I think it may have all become about the ending (that's what we seem to think of first when we think MA) rather than the social/cultural/every-day stuff.

Soundtrack was great, wasn't it?? And did you see the pair of converse sneakers under the bed? Gotta love Sofia Coppola. Still on shoes, I read today that MA had four pairs of shoes made for her every single week. The French Imelda Marcos!

I saw Hot Fuzz today - same guys who did Shaun of the Dead. It was high-larious.

I thought it was good too, however I think I would have liked it if they even just put in writing on the screen what actually happened to her. I am a big believer in the true story being told. Thought it was very clever and the costumes were wonderful. I love Kirsten Dunst and think she is very talented and also very under rated as an actress.

Part of the reason the kingdom turned on Marie Antoinette was because she was so excessive with her clothing and lifestyle in a time when there was so much poverty and war. She over spent so much that the King was unable to give his normal contribution to charities etc.

North Country on DVD very good!

Saw another movie today. The Good German with Cate Blanchette and George Clooney. Very good. Now I know why they refer to her as the modern-day Meryl Streep - she puts on a very convincing accent. Set in 1945 after the war, the film is shot in almost fuzzy black and white and uses real footage from the era that blends right in. Very Casablanca style ending!

Last movies I saw were Music and Lyrics, and Babel (on the same day). M&L was utterly terrible, and Babel was over-rated Oscar-bait. So hard to find a good movie these days!

I saw Miss Potter yesterday with my mum & my g'ma... very nice... definately one to take your g'ma along to see.

Want to see Music & lyrics next, can't wait for Shrek the 3rd.... so many movies so little time! Hello DVD! :penguin:

I saw The Good Shepherd last weekend... a bit long and slow, not to mention depressing. Although it gets points for having both Matt Damon and Billy Crudup in it. Angelina Jolie looked AMAZING with the 1940s-style hair and makeup.

Last night I watched The Chumscrubber on DVD. Bizarre! The review on the front described it as "Donnie Darko meets Desperate Housewives" which was pretty accurate.

This is not really the last movie I saw but more the last TV series that was sheer BRILLIANCE!!

three words for you people and you need them in your life!

SIX FEET UNDER

hire the series. WARNING: it becomes an additction

With you 100% Allison. Six Feet Under is one of my favourite shows. It doesn't get much darker than that. Great writing. So rare to find good drama, thank god for HBO.

Tonight I watch World Trade Centre on DVD.

I couldnt stop crying the whole way through, and Maggie Gyllenhaal was brilliant.

I saw WTC the other week. We also got out the other 9/11 movie in the same week, United 93. Its about the hijacked plane that crashed into the paddock. Its made in real time & is really suspenseful. I felt really sad all week. :(

I really admire people that can watch these movies, I'm such an emotional person that I just couldn't do it to myself, I would be sobbing uncontrollably at this awful waste of innocent human lives (sorry, getting emotional just thinking about it).

I was incredibly emotional. You sit there watching a movie except you keep reminding yourself how real it actually was. I found United 93 worse to watch than WTC. I guess because WTC had some sort of hope. United 93 scared the bejeezus out of me. I didnt know there were people so fanatical about religion etc until I saw it. Very chilling. Inspiring though, how the passengers and Cabin Crew tried to defeat them. I know in that situation I would not know what to do with myself.

It's hard to believe there are people like that out there, isn't it.

Yep. I think I live in a state of denial. :o

Hoping to balance the sadness out with Music and Lyrics - which i am seeing tomorrow.

Oooh! I really enjoyed that movie, but then I'm a sucker for any Hugh Grant movie. I can't help it, he makes me laugh. A lot.

I saw The Illusionist on Saturday night (that was my hardcore St Patrick's day partying hehe). I wasn't really impressed. The dialog was very scripted and unoriginal. Edward Norton was good, Paul Giamatti (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316079/) also played his character well. Jessica Biel was so-so. I feel like maybe I had been spoilt by the Prestige, which had a vaguely similar storyline (about magicians...) but was absolutely fantastic (I would rate it one of the best movies I've ever seen).

I watched The Lake House on DVD on Sunday night. Meh... it was OK. Keanu Reeves is looking a bit old :(

Oh and I watched The Departed on the weekend too - what a great movie! Gruesome ending though!
Leonardo is finally starting to look a bit manly :hearts:

The Departed is great, huh! Nice to see Matt Damon as the bad guy too. He's never really done it for me but is so typecast.

Keep seeing The Lake House at the video store and umming and ahhing. I like Sandra Bullock.

Keep seeing The Lake House at the video store and umming and ahhing. I like Sandra Bullock.
I never got the appeal of Matt Damon either, until I saw The Bourne Identity -phwoaaarrrr!

I like Sandra too, there's something very normal and non-Botoxy about her. It's not the best movie I ever saw but it's a sweet romantic popcorn flick - fluffy entertainment for an evening of veging out on the couch :bunny:

Fluffy is how I would describe The Lake House! I loved it though, saw it at the movies and had to buy the DVD. Watched it with hubby the other day and he got all weepy!

Love love love the Departed. A remake of a Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs. Yep, Leo is looking more manly now, quite cute but give me Matt Damon any day!

Loved the Departed ... what terrific characters!

I finally watched An Inconvinent Truth on DVD. I have been hanging to see this & it didn't let me down as many hyped up films do. If you have not seen it yet, it is a must see & very important. Make sure you watch the 1/2hr update in the special features too.
I love that it told a very complicated horror story in plain english & finished with an achievable goal. Obviously defeated after pursing govts for so many years Al Gore is winning over the people, the voters & relying on them to make the much needed changes. We can do this. Let's be the generation that saves the world.

I sure hope he runs for president again. Can you imagine America, a world power with a green leader? It would have a profound effect. Maybe then Howard would sign Kyato if the US does!

Isn't it great? Really gets you revved up. I think it's had a lot to do with our govt recently changing its tune from being greenhouse "sceptics" to greenhouse "realists" because it saw the way people reacted. Even still it has got a bloody long way to go and seems so resistant to the idea of renewables, solar and emerging technologies like carbon trading. Perish the thought of upsetting the coal industry.

As much as I hate to say it I'm not sure Howard would ever sign Kyoto. He's invested too much in the "beyond Kyoto" policies and it'd be seen as a serious backdown (and he doesn't do backdown very well). Fingers crossed he'll get booted out later this year though, and we'll get a govt that's serious about the environment, not throwing money at voters and pretending it has always been "green".

Love Al Gore too, he's so charismatic, but my money's on Barack Obama for Prez! :worship:

I knew this would start me on a rant, sorry!

Got Trust the Man and A Good Year out on DVD

A good year was nice...nothing to write home about... just a romantic movie really.

Trust the Man was sorta like Sex and The City with men - a little strange, a few funny bits, but was good for the stay at home type movie night I 'spose.

Just got back from seeing 300. Trust me girls, if you don't mind a bit of comic-book violence, it's worth it for all those ripped Spartan abs :whistle:

I just watch Adrift on DVD. WORST MOVIE EVER. dont even go there.

Im about to watch beerfest on the insistance of my boy. wish me luck

Oh dear, yes, good luck; I hope he appreciates it! :chuckle:

Today I watched 28 Days Later. Originally saw it at the movies and it scared the crap out of me. Bit less terrifying with daylight and no surround sound, but not much! Great movie though. Plus it has Cillian Murphy in it...now I understand the saying "when Irish eyes are smiling" :hearts:

Finally someone who likes that movie! Yes, bit gruesome but the ending blew me away. Watch in daylight with some company!

Well I saw it a while ago, but I just re-watched it - "Kenny". If you haven't seen it, PLEASE do yourself a favour and get it out (or watch it on Foxtel Box Office). If you like Australian comedies like "The Castle", you'll love "Kenny". It's a mockumentary about a plumber whose business is port-a-loos. He's the loveliest Aussie guy and it's just about his place in the world. Definitely two thumbs up from me (your boys will love it too)!

300 is fantastic, the fighting was so realistic, definately recommend it to anyone! :D:D

Just got back from watching 300.

Not as gory as i expected actually which was great! Great movie too!

Just got back from seeing 300. Trust me girls, if you don't mind a bit of comic-book violence, it's worth it for all those ripped Spartan abs :whistle:

Ripped beyond belief! :glee:

I just saw 300 too.
I think Jonothan Coleman's review on Sunrise summed it up nicely, lots of yelling "we are spartans!" all the way thru.
I found it very predictable & americanised, they just love overkill don't they.
David Wenham looked so out of place, the only blond guy in a sea of Greeks?
Sure it looks great but there should have been more story. I know the history & it scimmed sooooo much. I had to explain it to my boy all the way thru.

My other half is dying to see this. Saw a review on 'at the movies' or something like that on ABC. Not my kind of movie it but certainly his.

Saw Sunshine yesterday.
I gotta say I am undecided. Good to see on the big screen & the effects are very realistic. It lost me towards the end, sorry I can't say why as its a spoiler.
Also there was lots of mumbleing & I'm hard of hearing so I think I missed bits. I love my subtitles. :clapping:
Good for suspense.

I went and saw Happily N'Ever After yesterday (cost me $4 adults at kids prices - bargain!) it was rather cute and funny... made by the people who did Shrek but no where near as good as shrek.

Also finally saw little miss sunshine on dvd - loved it! Oh and Casino Royale *sigh* daniel craig... :whistle:

I watched the Prestige again last night!! That is such a good movie, I have to say I have a better understanding of it now that I've seen it twice. And good god... I love Christian Bale...

I LOVE that movie! That is up there with my favourites of all time. Ever. In the whole world. That's how good that movie is.

I know how GOOD is it?!?!?! :spin: Hugh Jackman is really awesome in it too. I reckon it's the best acting he's done!

I just saw The Singer . Margaret and David gave it the thumbs up, but I'm afraid I just can't do the same.

My boredom was only exacerbated with regular intervals of Depardieu singing old love songs. The performances didn't peak and the whole movie felt like the lull of having taken a sedative.(tip: moments of inane boredom can cleverly be spent admiring the lead actress' haircut)


However the goat and horse did put in a fine performance and were most entertaining (and very cute)
Sorry, this is one for DVD!

I saw Sunshine last week Medusa, and I completely agree. I thought the first half was pretty good but the rest was a bit disappointing. I really like Cillian Murphy though (oh, those eyes) so that pulled me through!

Had a couple of long plane trips this week and saw Freedom Writers and Miss Potter. Freedom Writers was great, inspiring; and I shed a tear or two (cause I'm a big girl). Miss Potter was very sweet.

I LOVE that movie! That is up there with my favourites of all time. Ever. In the whole world. That's how good that movie is.

I've not heard much about this (pulling head out of sand....:redcheeks: )

Is it new? On DVD (real copy) or movies. The boy and I were going to see 300 this weekend...or go back to the comedy festival- not quite a movie, we saw that Mark Watson Sunday night and he is hilarious, and oh such a natural comic!!

We were tossing up between Ed Burns and 300 (one means a trip to the city....:saber: )

I think it's the general concensus that Sunshine 'lost the plot' in the last third. It started so well and could have taken some really interesting paths, but didn't. Did anyone else find it really LOUD!

We also saw Half Nelson last night. Wow -- Ryan Gosling is awesome and the younger girl (Drey) is also very good. It's kind of slow, but a good movie. My kind of movie. And I have a new crush. :penguin:

I got dragged along to see Mr. Beans Holiday when we were in the city last week. Now some of Mr. Bean makes me laugh, but the whole movie was a little silly and not really what we thought it would be. I actually started getting frustrated at his stupidity! :chuckle: I give it 2 stars.

we saw that Mark Watson Sunday night and he is hilarious, and oh such a natural comic!!


I saw Mark Watson on Wednesday - hilarious!! :chuckle: :chuckle: I think I laughed nonstop pretty much the whole way through.

Has anyone seen Priceless with Audrey Tautou? Going during the week, would love an Adoreable review if available!

Having a nice quiet weekend at home (piked out on the pardner's family do down the coast, he he!) so hired a few DVDs from the local fil-um shop. This arvo watched The Constant Gardener and Serendipity (thanks Kate! Who loves John Cusack? We do!). Others sitting waiting near the box include Pride & Prejudice (Keira Knightly, blah), Hotel Rwanda, the classic Blanche Fury and The Outsiders. Couch potato heaven!

Have fun RBB! I am going to see Paris Je T'Aime, I believe also with Audrey Tatou and a host of others but also want to see Priceless.

I went to see Paris Je T'Aime yesterday - it was gorgeous! It's a sketch film made up of 18 short stories. Audrey Tautou isn't in it but it does have Juliette Binoche, Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman, Gerard Depardieu, Nick Nolte and many others.
The story with Juliette Binoche made me cry :tears:

That's who it is! Get Juliette Binoche and Audrey Tatou mixed up! Were hoping to pop down to Nova to see today, not sure how we will go. Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, please let me know what you think too...from Kate's review it sounds like something mother-in-law and I can go and see - we like to see different movies and talk about whether we likes them or not -rather than just the mainstream blockbusters that will eventually be on a Sunday night. Not a boy movie, I take it???:question:

Hey Melissa, actually going with hubby. I am sure with the 18 short stories it includes it would cater for everyone. Didnt get there today, will see on Anzac Day. Will let you know how I found it xo

I just watched The Piano.....I know it's like 14 years old, but I'd never seen it before! Anyway, I loved it. It was absolutely enthralling and beautiful. When it was finished I felt like I'd come out of a dream. I can understand why little Anna Paquin won the Oscar for it - she's the most watchable, beautiful child actor I've ever seen. Great story, wonderfully shot and acted - glad I finally got around to seeing it. :)

Priceless. And I am seeing The Lives of Others tonight... with my book club!!! Hehehe. I am by far the youngest, with most of them in their 60s, but I love it!! (Well - most of them. Some are narky old women who laugh too loud at their own stupid jokes)

Oooh I'd love to join a book club. I was going to make one just with my friends, lol - cos I'd always be reading a great book that I wanted to talk about, but I had no-one to discuss it with.....so I was going to force them!! It never came through though, lol.

Celestefay I also love the idea of a book club.
However I fear it sounds more romantic than the reality.
I would have difficulty guaranteeing completing a book in the assigned time.

We have a month to read the books and I tend to read two in this time.

But back to the movie thread... Saw Lives of Others last night and it was AMAZING. I would recommend it highly to anyone. It is so hard to believe the wall was up in Germany until 1989... I struggle to comprehend that this was in my life time. The movie was SO well done and very engaging. Please go and see it, it is something you will remember.

Ohhh I have wanted to see this for ages, but never got around to it. Saw a review on Margaret and David and it looked really good. Must watch it!

Saw Paris Je T'aime today. What a wonderful film, could've sat through another viewing of it straight away. Definitely one I am going to get on Dvd. Loved all the stories, though still shaking my head at the hairdresser one??:shakehead: Hubby really enjoyed it too and half the cinema was male! A definite feel-good movie, now I just want to go back to Paris!

I saw the 300 and the Perfect Stranger last week.

LOVVVEEEDDD 300!! Ok, maybe i should rephrase that... I loovveeedddd the guys bodies in 300! haha :worship:

Perfect Stranger was a little slow, but had a good twist to it in the end. Great actors!

300. An absolutely appalling film. :chuckle:
Before that Paris, Je t'aime (brilliant) and Casino Royale.
And I bought my own copy of the Casino Royale DVD.

My boy got some shockers on DVD, its not his strong point.
Taxi - stars Queen Latifa as an unconvincing stunt bike courier in NY????
Borat - a very strange film. Quite disturbing & offensive if you ask me.

Medusa I hated Borat! I viewed it with my darling who thought it was reasonable. If I had my way I would not have continued watching until the end. It made me feel uncomfortalbe and offended. :shakehead:

:chuckle: My very conservative grandmother wanted to see Borat - god knows what she thought it would be about, but I managed to tell her what it was about and it put her off

I saw Shooter last night with Mark Whalburg in it - drool worthy - but a great movie - well I loved it!

Saw Perfect Stranger this morning - Halle Berry - she's gorgeous, and also a good movie, but comparing the two thought Shooter was better.

I saw Happy feet on the way home from Singapore on air chanel. A happy sorta movie. I enjoyed it very much.:penguin:

Shooter with Mark Whalberg, i groaned when partner suggested it (soooo his kind of movie) but it was really good. Thumbs up.

Today I saw Half Nelson. Intense movie, Ryan Gosling is heartbreaking to watch. Would recommend you go home immediately afterwards and a) watch a cartoon; b) look at pictures of cute puppies and kittens; or c) sing "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands". Trust me, you'll need it!

OMG yes, how depressing was it!!

I was telling kate this morning that I saw Borat last night. I had tears of laughter the whole time!! This movie is so stupidly hilarious!!! :chuckle:

I thought that movie was hilarious because I thought it was all staged! I found out later that it's not and all those people didn't know what was going on!

I know! The college kids tried to sue the producers (unsuccessfully!).

I cringed all the way through it but I have never laughed so hard as I did during the naked fight scene :redcheeks:

i thought i was the only one that laughed , my off beat sense of humour has increased since i met my husband:ashamed:
i nearly died with the swimmers scenes though - man :shockedhair:
i think most people new it was a hoax type doco , though not all. I think that the americans they had on were very inshuler [bad phentic speller here :shakehead: ] & also didn't realise just how popular this would be so therefore wanted more money particularly for looking as stupid as they looked :shakehead:

When I was at the movies on Friday/Saturday (see previous post re Shooter & Perfect Stranger) I saw the preview for 28 weeks later (or months later - can't remember!)

My friend told me to get 28 days later out on dvd - i did and loved it! What a movie! Looking foward to the second on the big screen now! :clapping:

I cringed all the way through it but I have never laughed so hard as I did during the naked fight scene :redcheeks:

I was exactly the same!!! :clapping: That was the best part! I was crying it was so funny.. then I couldnt stop myself even when it was over. LOL

Hey nattieb, I loved 28 Days Later - we saw it at the movies when it first came out and it scared the crap out of me. I want to see the second one too but beware, it's an adulterated version of the first and may not be as good! No Cillian Murphy either, boo hoo :tears:

I am of the same thinking RBB, think I would be disappointed. Actually called 28 weeks later.

girls you HAVE to see Children of Men, and not just becuase it is the most amazing, saddest and unreal film ever - Clive Owen is just soooo delicious!!

This movie is great- and I agree re Clive- he is gorgeous! It is a strange film because it is quite heavily symbolic and appears really depressing/dismal but there is a strange old-fashioned hope to it that are rare in films of this futuristic genre these days.

Saw Babel today. It was pretty harrowing - I had to go home and watch a cartoon.

Sure to win Oscars I reckon.

Babel is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time- my finace and I were crying pretty much the whole way through! It is unrelenless in its intensity and emotion. Fantastic though.

I saw Pan's Labyrinth - eurgh, wouldn't recommend it. Was EXTREMELY violent.

Kate, this one was violent but such an amazing film. Its violence was surprising considering it a film made from a child's perspective and fantasy elements. I found it really interesting that her fantasy world was just a violent as the 'real' world. Its like the only way she could deal with that violence was not to ignore it but to examine it from her own perspective and with her own ideas.

If you guys like Borat, you'll love this...

300.

It was awful! *LOL*

saw spiderman 3 tonight [hubby's work function] not bad , better than no. 2

I hope Spiderman 3 is the last - seriously how long can they drag it out? I read Kirsten Dunst has had enough but wouldn't walk out, it wouldn't be the same.

for me it really seemed like it ended , it had somewhat closure but with hollywood u never know:sunnies:

I loved Spiderman 2, am going to see #3 tonight!

Last night I saw "The Lives of Others", a German film set in East Berlin in the early 80s - all about the Stasi etc. Was a bit over-long but I enjoyed it still.

Finally saw Babel today - talk about heavy! Brad Pitt is looking SO old!:tears:

Yes, but I think they play that up- it is one of his best performances, I think. Someone said in an earlier post (sorry, I cannot remember!) that they thought Babel was overrated- I disagree. I cried the whole way through. The messages are obvious but I think that's what a lot of the Western World needs. An awesome film.

I have not been to the movies in a while, but I saw Jindabyne on DVD the other night. It is one of those films that grows on you. It is slow-paced but so mysterious, so beautifully filmed, and so atmospheric. I really loved it- I was thinking about it for days afterwards. Has anyone else seen this?

It was probably me who said Babel was overrated Oscar-bait (an opinion proven, I might add, by its dismal performance at the Oscars!). I found that it had no overriding themes and no linking narratives. I found it disjointed, preachy and ultimately pointless! The sad thing is that each of the stories on their own would have been good movies. I would have loved to have seen a whole movie based on the Japanese girl. I thought the movie was very well-acted and the music was great, but the whole wasn't greater than the sum of its parts.

Hmmmmmm, that's interesting. I liked it. I didn't think it was amazing but some of the stories were moving and it had a good script. I don't think it was Oscar bait. In fact for me when a movie doesn't get a win I rejoice! Because I think the Academy is pretty staid and obvious in its choices, and rarely do the best movies (and actors) win. In my humble opinion, anyway.

Ozkat I totally agree!

I am so in love with Babel as a film it's not funny! That soundtrack is so haunting...it gets right under the skin and into the skin and into the heart...I am too scared to watch it again because it moved me too much the first time. I think the different stories are unified in their sense of 'otherness'. To me it is really about trying to fit in and not fitting in, and fitting in one country/environment, but not in another. The raw pain and emotion in this film- the amazing performances of all the actors really did something to me.

Sapphire I feel the same way about the movie Crash (not the scary James Spader one, the one filmed a little while back). For me it gelled a bit better than Babel, but I do still like the latter.

It was great when Crash got Best Picture that year, nobody predicted it. So moving. I couldn't talk to my friend for about half an hour after we came out of the movies!

I loved Crash too, it was ridiculously powerful. I first saw it on an illegal (naughty I know) pirated version I got in Bali, before it had even been released at the movies here. It was really annoying because of course as soon as I watched it I wanted to call everyone I knew and go "Have you seen that movie Crash, it's soooooo good!!", but no-one had seen or even heard of it. So I had to force the DVD upon them!

The part where you think the little girl has been shot almost makes me burst into tears just thinking about it!! I always cry when I see it, I think because it's a release of all this pent-up emotion you feel when watching the movie (rage, sadness, love).

I loved Crash also. ( Don Cheadle/Matt Dillon/Sandra Bullock ). Although this movie has been aligned with Babel I see them differently. I was moved for hours after the movie.

Interesting...I love Crash too but for me the connections were more obvious than in Babel. But like I said re Babel, the messages in Crash were much needed for a general western audience. My sister for example does not watch so-called 'arthouse' films but was drawn to Crash and found the content more accessible.

I almost forgot- in Crash, that scene where the policeman sexually assaults the woman while her husband has to watch without moving...that really got to me. His feelings of pain and guilt at not 'saving' her, and her own pain, 'shame' and need to have him help her. Powerful stuff.

Sapphire that movie has many layers of emotions. I would benefit from viewing it again to observe what I overlooked or couldn't absorb the first time.

Definitely. That is the great thing about great movies like that. They follow you afterwards, like a persistent shadow.

Sapphire, although this was a well made film, I couldnt help comparing it to how I felt after watching Lantana. I did think the latter was better. I also loved Babel and Crash but feel I need another viewing.

Oooh I really want to see Jindabyne. It looks quite similar to Lantana though, in tone and cinematography and even in storyline and themes. Oh well, I shall not judge until I see!

I haven't been to the movies in ages but am very much looking forward to taking my Mum (a Jane Fonda fan) along to see Georgis Rule with my free double pass from Adore Beauty.

Hi Luisa B- yes I really loved Lantana too. It is hard to beat that film. However, Jindabyne really seeped into me aftterwards so that I felt haunted by it.

Just finished watching The Queen.

Wonderful movie. I remember so clearly where I was when Diana died.

I watched yesterday "just my luck", which was just one of those sugar sweet movies. I loved the clothes Lindsay Lohan was wearing in it (and we all know how important that is!)

Just watched The Holiday... not a fan unfortunately. Thought it was really boring and FAR too long. Kate Winslet was lovely but Jude Law and Cameron Diaz were awful.

The Holiday was nice to look at but no depth. And lots of plot holes. Did you find that Kate?

I didn't notice the plot holes as much as the bad editing. They could have cut an hour's worth of stuff out of that movie without losing anything. The scene where Cameron Diaz turns the car around and runs back to Jude Law - it takes her at least three minutes to get from the car to the house! She opens three gates! And stops to catch her breath! :yawn:

Yes! And she barely cried at all. Pffft. The awards night for Arthur was underdone, and why didn't Kate/Cameron speak more often? I would like to have seen more of a relationship between them. Otherwise it was just two movies intertwined. I could sooo write a romantic comedy... :rolleyes: :sunnies:

By the way, has anyone seen a French movie called Me and My Sister? It is a few years old now, but I happened to catch it on World Movies one morning and really liked it.

I watched Fun with **** and Jane... one word... MEH!

HAahhahahahahah... D i c k and Jane. So rude!

Just came home from seeing Georgia Rule with Jane Fonda, Felicity Huffman and Lindsay Lohan. For a movie released just yesterday the cinema was empty. Just dont know what to make of it, wanted to like it but the subject matter of paedophilia in a "light hearted" movie was a bit disturbing.

Oggle factor high though, a gorgeous (if grey-haired) Dermot Mulroney in it!

We saw 28 Weeks Later today. Here's me throughout: :shockedhair:

Pretty good but double the gore and double the blood. Not really my bag baby. What I liked about the first one was how gritty and stripped-back it was. Don't know if I can use the word subtle for a zombie-like horror flick, but you know what I mean! The sequel was a bit more full-on. And no Cillian Murphy *sniff*

The first one was frightening enough RBB, though had plenty of impact. Might avoid this one me thinks!

Yes, thought of you actually LB knowing that you liked the first one - I think if 'weeks' was too much for me, it'll be too much for you!

Ha! That's hilarious, Kate :chuckle:

Just saw Paris Je t'aime. Fabulous. Some stories struck me more than others but that is the point with collective films like this. Overall very life-affirming and subtly warm-hearted.

Saw Spiderman 3 on Sat night on the IMAX screen in Brissie...
Loved it! A lot of fun... if a tad on the long side... I love movies based on comics, but only when they're done well...
I like Spidey, but X Men is prolly my fave franchise...
Some ppl are complaining that the movie isn't realistic...duh! It's based on a comic... :rollthoseeyes:
James Franco made for good eye candy too... :)

Saw The Devil Wears Prada on dvd yesterday. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I have read the book and it was nothing like the book unfortunately.

i always find that very disappointing

yeah its a bit annoying because you think you know what to expect... then I find myself going "that didn't happen!" or "its not supposed to go like that!" lol

Hear you Jaime. You're right, it was definitely enjoyable but a fair bit tamer than the book. Andy was supposed be completely tortured! And I loved poring over all the clothing descriptions, the big fashion wardrobe etc...was hoping it would translate a bit better to screen.

Meryl Streep was fabulous though, apparently modelled her performance on US Vogue's formidable Anna Wintour.

We're going to see Zodiac this arvo.

:chuckle: I was waiting for the big "F... You" to Miranda at the end!! lol... but it never happened.. ba bow

Saw Zodiac. It was pretty good but far too long for a drama (over 2 1/2 hours). Jake Gyllenhaal divine, even as an obsessed cartoonist. Robert Downey Jr, one word: typecast.

Went and saw Spiderman 3 today. It was OK, not as good as #2 I thought.

Yesterday I watched Pursuit of Happyness (way too long and way too many depressing bits, but Will Smith was v good) and Blood Diamond (enjoyed it, bit bloody though).

Jaime, I also watched the Devil wears Prada on Foxtel yesturday. I agree it was nothing like the book, however, I was feeling poorly and I escaped in the fabulous clothes, shoes, bags etc.

Merryl Streep was amazing!

Merryl Streep was amazing!

She was fabulous. :)

Spiderman Three, not a big fan of Tobey Macguire or these Spiderman movies, but boy wanted to see it, and god knows I drag him along to enough of "my" movies, so I was returning the favour. Now I'm not sure if I should dye my hair Kate Walsh red or MJ red. Her hair colour was the highlight of the movie for me. I kept asking the boy through out the movie what he thought of the hair colour and how he thought it would look on me :hearts:

Spiderman isn't for me, but I looooooove her hair and makeup! Love love love.

On DVD - You, Me & Dupree - silly comedy good if you don't want to think too much.
The White Masari - Interesting story but set aside some time its roolly long.

Watched "Gangs of New York" on DVD last night. Hadn't realised it was such a long movie, I was :yawn: by the end of it as it was past my bedtime!

Saw Breach this week - it's OK wouldn't recommend paying to see it at the cinema.. wait for DVD... and even then maybe wait for it to hit the weeklies! It was ok but :yawn: nothing that they haven't really done before!

Off to see Georgia Rule this weekend with my mum! Looking forward to it!

On DVD - You, Me & Dupree - silly comedy good if you don't want to think too much.
The White Masari - Interesting story but set aside some time its roolly long.

You could really feel the chemistry between Ms Hudson and Mr Wilson couldn't you!!!

I watched Monster In Law on dvd yesterday. It was good. I thought JLo was good but Jane Fonda was a bit OTT - I guess it was her character but I wanted to slap her!

I saw Blood Diamond on DVD today, My God what a story, and what brillant performances by the lead actors. I bawled my eyes out, and I mean, bawled my eyes out. I also saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: In the Begginning. It was a load of crap. Am I allowed to say that word here?

Loved Blood Diamond. A truly scandalous story on many levels with great acting performances.

saw Georgia Rule today - took my mum - we both loved it! and cried!

must say though I couldn't stop looking at Lindsay's armpits - you could tell she had fake tan on! but still a good movie!

Watched "Gangs of New York" on DVD last night. Hadn't realised it was such a long movie, I was :yawn: by the end of it as it was past my bedtime!

Is this the one with Leonardo DiCaprio in it? I can't remember much of it but there was a part (the big guy with the club??) that was so upsetting to me it haunted me for a couple of days....

I'm watching Jaws right now. Old school.

Partner just watched 300. I couldn't watch it - hearing it from the other room was enough!!

Hubby rented out The Notebook tonight. I know, I am lucky eh?!

Could not believe I hadnt seen this! Thought I had it amongst the 400+ Dvd's we have. Sorry I was MIA from the forum, went through a few tissues - as did hubby!

My housemate just gave me the notebook - never seen it before - will be watchin it with my boyfriend tonight. So excited, been wanting to see it for agggges! :)

I have that DVD but I haven't watched it yet. My friend said "be prepared to cry"??????

Watched You, Me & Dupree last night. I'm still unsure about it - don't know if I liked it or it made me frustrated.

I have that DVD but I haven't watched it yet. My friend said "be prepared to cry"??????

Honey, that is the understatement of the century. I would upgrade that to sob! (though I do tend to cry a lot more in movies these days)

My ultimate weepie though is Love Story, with Ali McGraw & Ryan O'Neal. "Love means never having to say you're sorry..." :tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears:

"Love means never having to say you're sorry..."

Well if that isn't the lie of the century!

I love The Note Book. I sobbed when I saw this at the movies. My partner bought it for me on DVD with a box of Tissues as a joke because it was the first time I had ever seen him cry when we saw that film (although he assures me it was the airconditioning playing havoc with his eyes)!

I went and saw Georgia Rule on Sunday with a friend. I used my free double pass courtesy of Adore Beauty. The film starred Jane Fonda, Felicity Huffman and Lindsay Lohan. All I will say is that I am so glad I didn't take my seven year old god daughter (lindsay lohan fan). It was very sexually explicit and dealt with sexual abuse, alcoholism and the language was pretty intense. I quite enjoyed the film but was a bit shocked!

I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised, as I wasn't sure what to expect before hand. This movie dealt with a very difficult subject extremely well. I have to add that I just loved Jane Fonda in this movie!

Jane Fonda was good and that's Georgia Rule ok! Lol:chuckle: I didn't love it but I also didn't not like it.

Anyone see Pirates 3 yet? I'm going on Friday. Love the Pirates movies (or should I say, love Johnny Depp)

Not yet either... I hope it's better than the 2nd which I hated. Too long.... :yawn:
But I put up with it... as you would having Johnny & Orlando to drool over... :hearts:

Oh & I watched Star Wars :saber: the other night as a salute to the 30th anniversary since its release this month... I know, I'm such a nerd :redcheeks: But I love my Star Wars!

I heart Star Wars. God knows how many times I have watched those movies... I can pretty much recite the script off by heart when I watch it :chuckle: :ashamed:

"Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?" :D

my husband is a massive star wars fanatic we have all the movies ltd edtion [of course] & sssoooo much star wars crap it's embarrasing :saber:

I know, I'm such a nerd :redcheeks: But I love my Star Wars!

Dont feel like that - I LOVE Star Wars, have all of them but still prefer the ones first made that ended up being the last in the sequence???:chuckle:

I can't stand anything Science Fiction! I am a shocker when it comes to movies, I don't like too much violence, if an animal dies I really can't watch and if it's a sad ending I'll still be crying about it two hours later!
I am very BORING like sweet little films with a happy ending!

Yay! I've found some chick Star Wars fans! :saber:
And who would've thought they'd be part of a beauty forum... :)

I too prefer the orignial Episodes IV to VI... I too like Kate have seen them a gazillion times, know all the dialouge off by heart & even facial experssions etc... "Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way!" :chuckle:

Out to the new ones, I liked Episode III the best. It was pretty dark, but prolly the closest to the originals...

Yeah I liked III best of the new ones too BK. My favourite is Empire Strikes Back.
"Being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited!"
"Sorry sweetheart, I haven't got time for anything else" :chuckle:

"I happen to like nice men"
"I'm nice men"
"Mmmm, very nice..." :kissing:

that has always been my hubby's fav as well

Saw The Devil Wears Prada on dvd yesterday. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I have read the book and it was nothing like the book unfortunately.
I was kind of glad with this movie straying from the book. I didn't like the whole Lily storyline in the book, so I was glad they took it all out.

Well if that isn't the lie of the century! :chuckle:

Confession time: I didn't cry when I saw The Notebook. I did fall in love with Ryan Gosling though.
My biggest tear jerker movie is Life as a House. Or maybe the Horse Whisperer....

Watched Music and Lyrics this morning. I quite enjoyed it.

The boy took me to see that on Valentines Day, and I really enjoyed it too. But then I love all Hugh Grant movies. He really makes me laugh.

Yeah I really found myself stuck to it. I was busting for the loo but I just didn't want to pause it for 5 mins... :chuckle: I love Drew Barrymore too......

Me too, I really liked both of them together in that movie actually.

I'm with you PCC! I generally don't like Science Fiction or Fantasy (fantasy as a genre bugs me more - I hate Star Wars, LOTR etc). I also CANNOT and REFUSE to watch any kind of "animal adventure" movies. I get too sad and actually find them distressing. I hate hate hate hate hate movies like Milo and Otis, Babe, Homeward Bound etc. Even animated movies like The Rescuers and Lady and the Tramp, I hate! Anything with animals being lost or in danger is just horrible and unwatchable to me.

My favourite genre generally is comedy, and I looooove anything by the Coen Brothers.

Daja Vu on DVD. Interesting concept for a murder mystery. Stars Denzel Washington.

Also Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Bit hard to get into & stars the quirky Robert Downey Jnr but gets going after a while to be quite entertaining. A bit different from the norm.

Just came back from seeing Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

Worst. Movie. Ever. OK maybe not THE worst, but definitely in the top 3 worst movies I ever saw. In fact I am home early because it was SO bad that I walked out before it finished.

Oh My God!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I'm supposed to be going to see it tomorrow! Was it really that bad, even with the Johnny Depp factor? On the verge of :tears:

It was really that bad. In fact it was worse. I will never get those two hours of my life back (and it goes for 2hours 48 minutes, so imagine if I'd sat through it all!).

oh good lordy no , crap ohmygod , we have gold class tickets for tuesday night - uuuurrrggghh :shakehead:

I just saw and advanced screening of 'clubland'. Damned brilliant!

I happen to study at
WAAPA with the guy who plays the lead, the guy that plays his down syndrome brother is just brilliant (the actor is not disabled for the record). Brenda Blethlyn is fantastic as always!

Great performances and a good laugh with some near tear jerking moments along the way. A must see!

I watched Casablanca last night. Such a good movie! So many good lines!

Kate I watched Casablanca for the first time last year and I gotta say, I didn't love it! I mean, it was really good and I definitely liked it for its iconic value, but it wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Now, the English Patient - THERE'S a World War Two desert love movie I adore!

i saw pirates 3 & i felt it wasn't too bad , good eye candy as well :clapping:
