Shawna Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Julia Roberts has lost some of her appeal for me. I really loved her in her earlier days, but these days it seems like the "it" factor is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Basically she played Erin Brockovich, but without the empathy nor the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 6 bucks?...our local theaters here are 8.75 a ticket... 9.75 here and 11 bucks at certain places in L.A., but there's certain discounts. I can own the movie for about that price when it comes out on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 MC, use your student ID to get discounts! I do. Damned if I'm gonna pay the full price - especially when popcorn and a Dr Pepper are $9 by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I watched Live Forever for my Britpop assignment - 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 The trick is to find the 2nd run theatres where you can see a movie after it's out of main theatres but before it's available on DVD. There's one near where I live where I can see movies that came out 4 months ago for 50 cents. Gran Torino: A- A very enjoyable movie, even if parts of it were predictable. Also, the symbolism was really obvious. But I kinda liked that about it...it's nice to watch a really good movie that isn't confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fariha Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I watched "The Heartbreak Kid" on TV a day or two ago. It's funny in parts but nothing extra-ordinary ~ I'd say 5.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Watched Billy Elliott again. I love that film, and now I'd love to see the musical. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Up (2009) One of the best animated features I've seen. An excellent adventure film about a cranky old man who, to avoid a retirement home, decides to "fly" his house to South America via balloons accompanied from the start by an enthusiastic boy scout and later by a talking dog and a clinging giant bird. The characters are cute, but as realistic and convincing as real people would have been. Its funny and exciting visually, but its concept is grounded by the bittersweet decades-long relationship, shown at the beginning in flashes, between the now elderly man and his beloved and recently departed wife beginning from when they were children. This beautiful sequences alone made me like this movie, but the rest is just as entertaining. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhearts08 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) Just saw The Hangover over the weekend. Hilarious!! I was laughing the whole way through and it was just insane what happen to them. And those pictures... Curious as to what they plan on doing for a sequel. 8 out of 10 stars for me.

Farin Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Gerry Two guys called 'Gerry' (Matt Damon and Casey Affleck) get lost in the (Utah?) desert and spend the absolute majority of the film walking in silence, trying to find back to civilisation here's a scene to get you an idea about it - I think the dialogues of the whole film could fit onto one sheet of paper... 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Saw "Up" tonight....It was okay, maybe animated movies really aren't my cup of tea, but I did enjoy parts of it....7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Laurie: I want to take my 5 year old to see that, do you think it's worth it? She didn't really get into WallE so if it's slow-paced we may skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hmmmm that's hard to say Jenny...maybe you could watch some trailers or clips on it on the internet....there's a couple parts where the animated dogs (doberman pinchers I think) would look kind of scary to a 5 yr old....The main plot or storyline is very good, but there are some slow dragged out parts also....

Jenny Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks. I may try, anyway. She wants to go see Ice Age 3 as well, so we may start with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Saw "Year One" yesterday with my kid. and I laughed myself silly. I forgot what a bad actor Jack Black is just because I was laughing so hard! And Michael Cera is so low-key, he delivers his lines perfectly as throwaways and it works so well. For anyone with a really twisted sense of humor, go see this flick. 8/10 (it's not Oscar material!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 The Italian Job the one with Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and Edward Norton (not the 60s one with Michael Caine) I like heist movies and as an additional plus this one got a car chase with minis 7.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I finally saw Hancock with Will Smith. Super Hero movies are good, but this one was also campy and didn't make sense in a lot of aspects. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
