Kevin Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Just a word of advice - avoid ALL the ' Oceans ' remakes , or any others for that matter . Let's try and tempt Hollywood into ... dare I say it ... write original scripts and put them on the screen . When an unoriginal movie is released ... try ... bowling or pinball instead !?

The Seeker Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Good idea... and somehow make sure Hollywood knows I went bowling instead of watching their movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otokichi Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 8/10 "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943). I'd missed this film last year, and finally recorded it when TCM ran it as part of their Guest Programmer series last month. A verry interesting tale starting during The Boer War, dodging shells during World War I, finally digging out of the rubble of blitzed London during World War II. Prime Minister Winston Churchill communicated his displeasure with this film to the producer and director. He objected to a long-gone world of gentlemen (when that term meant something) remaining friends even while wearing different uniforms. In spite of having to deal with the worst that Hitler could hurl at England, this film was popular among ordinary people. One suspects that even Gen. "War is all Hell" Sherman would have found this tale charming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Watched Surfs Up over the weekend and it is a funny movie. I rented it for my little girl and ended up enjoying them movie. Surfing penguins living at the beach! Some cool tunes, and good voices for the penguins...Jeff Bridges, James Woods, and Shia LaBeouf. It's for kids, but listen close and you will hear the adult humor thrown in every once in awhile. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Inside Man (2006) Just came out on dvd, is a cops and robbers thriller with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. The surprise ending reminded me of The Usual Suspects. It's a 4 out of 5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 A friend and I watched "Hot Fuzz" yesterday and laughed until it hurt. Simon Pegg is absolutely brilliant as the gung ho, hyperactive and by the book London copper (Nicholas Angel) who finds himself reassigned to a seemingly quiet English town. Once there he is paired up with a witless, naive, junk food eating partner who is in awe of Angel's London exploits. Angel is initially bemused by the intrusive nature of life in the small town and by the somewhat lax and cavalier attitude of the local constabulary towards prosecuting criminals. Life, however, becomes considerably more interesting when Angel begins investigating a series of horrific "accidents" which he soon discovers occur with alarming regularity in the quiet rural backwater. I won't give away any more of the plot, but suffice it to say there are some interesting and absurd plot twists that are truly hilarious. While Pegg is undeniably the star of the movie, some of the supporting cast members are excellent as well. Timothy Dalton is suitably oily as the owner of a local Supermarket. Rory McCann is brilliant as the hulking, slow-witted grocery boy who has a two word vocabulary in the film (Yarp and Narp). And Pegg's frequent co-star Nick Frost is great as the pudgy, eager, impressionable sidekick PC Danny Butterman. Although the course language and sometimes graphic violence make this film inappropriate for younger children, it is a quirky and often hilarious send-up of American police action films. I give this movie a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Now I'll have to rent Shaun Of The Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 From your cute little smilies, I take it you are a fan of Shaun Of Dead. Is it funny? I really don't know anything about it except that it once again teams up Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I coerced a male... someone... to take me to see "Enchanted" on Sunday. He warned me ahead of time that he doesn't do well in movies because he's not good at sitting still that long. It was a really cute, well-done movie, I thought. I smiled all the way through it. But it's definitely a chick-flick. My poor put-upon... someone... stayed awake the entire time - bless his heart - because he knew it would not be a good impression on me if he snored But afterwards he said, "I haven't been to a movie in ages, and of all the really good movies out there I could have gone to, you drag me to this one..." I say 10 out of 10... but strictly for those of the female persuasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
