Thank you GS

Okay, to get back on topic now...I took my daughter to see "Yours, Mine and Ours" the other day.  It was a cute movie.

[:MoD:Shade]

We watched the Shawshank Redemption.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

I cried when the old man left the prison and couldn't fit into society because he had been in prison most of his life.

P.S. - The movie is set in Maine. 

[BFG]

Yeah good film good film. Definatly tugs on the heart strings heh.

Mentioned i saw the Constant Gardener didn't i... Anyone else watched it yet? Really worth seeing.

[cookie]

Man, I was so excited about the Constant Gardener, because I really like that director, but it kind of let me down. It was interesting for the first half and then it just dropped off.

One movie that I recommend to everyone is Capote. It's probably only playing in independent theaters, but it is absolutely mesmerizing. It's the story of Truman Capote and his writing of "In Cold Blood", about two convicts who killed a family in Kansas. It's so deep, so tragic, and you will leave wanting to cry.

Anyway.

Movies I really, really REALLY want to see:

Memoirs of a Geisha (my favorite book of all time!)
Syriana
Walk The Line
Shopgirl
Chronicles of Narnia
Garcon Stupide (supposed to be really raunchy but an excellent movie)
Cape of Good Hope
and
Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic (heheh)

so I better start now, huh.

[BFG]

Hmm Cookie....

Well the shakey camera bits really pissed me off - and id admit the pacing of the film at times was... questionable. But i wouldn't say i felt let down by the second half, anything but.

Would also like to see Memoirs of a Geisha..

Chronicals of Naria im in two minds about - one the one hand they are the books of my childhood, on the other hand i cant face having my fantasys ripped to sacarine shreds by hollywood, not to mention the Christian undertones.

Capote i've never heard of but will have to check out. Im still keen to See Jarhead, oh and Corpse Bride (Stop frame Tim Burton hehe woot!)

[jerkasaur]

comon BFG, the book was full of christian overtones.

I wanna see Narnia, but after LotR, my expectations are way too high.

Just saw Syriana - great movie, a little confusing at times, and definately something you DO NOT want to see stoned.

[BFG]

True the book was - but i was so young i didn't really realise heh.

Yeah Im pretty dead certain Narnia would be a disappointment after LotR.

Watched The Nightmare before Christmas with the GF last night, Its Burton being brilliant.. as normal - the freaking animation is just fantastic!

[Brutha]

Yeah, Tim Burton is a genius...and very strange. I finally got to see Serenity last week...what a movie. All I can hope for now is a movie about Ace Rimmer. What a guy!

[:MoD:Shade]

We watched "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest"

Great movie, Jack Nicholas was brilliant.  I had to set up the old VCR player to watch it but it was worth it.

[DarK.]

Yes that is a great movie.

[*NADS Lo$eMoney]

I just saw King kong and it was one of the worst movies i've seen in years. I've seen pornos with better plots, pacing, and character development...  I'd reccomend going 2 hours late, watching the scene where Kong fights the T Rexs, and leaving once the battle is over.

[:MoD:Shade]

Wow, and I've heard nothing about good stuff about that movie prior to it's release.

[Civrock]

I saw Aeon Flux yesterday and think it was pretty good, especially the story. The book was great.

[:MoD:Shade]

We just watched Slingblade - that was good.  Billy Bob Thorton was simply amazing, he did such a great job in his role, you could hardly tell it was him.

And yet again I cried when he was leaving the little boy behind, seems like every movie I watch I've been crying lately and my gf doesn't, heh.

I completely disagree...one of the best movies ive ever seen from start to finish.

[Brutha]

I've just seen Chronicles of Narnia......and I was surprised. I liked it. Then again, The trailers do the movie no credit, because it's not really about the huge battles we see there. To me it seemed to focus more on the story.

[BFG]

Brutha im being dragged to see it with the GF and her friends tommorow.... i was really going to avoid it heh.

How much do the religious undertones stick through, i mean can you just watch it for what it is or does it really stick it in your face? in other words do i need a sick bag and a baseball bat or can i just go snuggle up with the GF?

[:MoD:Shade]

We just watched Fargo - great movie, a wee gruesome at times but nonetheless great.

Now I've downloaded the intro tune cause its so damn good and I've been listening to it over and over.
