_Laurie_ Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I saw Mama Mia and I thought it sucked on ice. What Joe said...
Shawna Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I watched "The Duchess" with Keira Knightley today. Not being a Keira fan, I was not expecting much. I was so wrong. She proved she's a very talented actor in that movie. I was riveted. It was a great story and very well told. She deserves an Oscar nomination for her role, she was that good. 10++/10
bluesboy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Dreams to Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding (2007) We've seen all the usual footage from the history of rock and Monterey Pop. But when they say fresh film footage, that gets my attention. And while it was exciting to see the new footage, the overall documentary was only a 7/10. Too many awful lip-synching clips to suit me. But plenty of stories from Steve Cropper (Booker T. & the M.G.s), Wayne Jackson (Memphis Horns) and Jim Stewart (founder of Stax Records). Still very well Produce by Reelin' In the Years based right here in San Diego.
Uncle Joe Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 John, thanks for the tip on Redding. I hadn't even heard about that documentary. I'll be sure to find it and watch it.
bluesboy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Your Welcome Uncle Joe. I didn't hear about it till 2 weeks ago and rented it from netflix right away. Upon further reflection, I guess I could give it a 7.5/10. I gotta figure out how to copy songs from dvds to put up at youtube.
Farin Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 For a few Dollars more - 9.5/10 you know, I don't really consider myself to be a big fan of Western movies, but a couple of them (like the Dollars 'trilogy' ) are just plain and simple great.
Ombre Vivante Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 That's the best one in the trilogy, too You should check out Kurosawa's Yojimbo and then watch Leone's A Fistful Of Dollars
miamisammy29 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 "Traitor", starring Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce. The ending was TOTALLY AWESOME!! 9 out of 10.
Shawna Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 The ending was TOTALLY AWESOME!! yeah? What happened?
Uncle Joe Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 I agree with the SamMan on Traitor. Excellent movie, great ending.
Steel2Velvet Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart in No Reservations I have a lot. 4/10 * I do think that young Abigail Breslin is a talent to watch. She is amazing and pushes this film along, when it moves at all.
The Seeker Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Bobby Very disappointing. I didn't care about any of the characters.
edna Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Ocean´s Eleven. I can´t tell, it was after midnight and I didn´t watch the end... I will have to watch it again this weekend. Is it worth it?
edna Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I didn´t even know there was an old one... No, the remake, the one with Brad & George...
Farin Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 I didn´t even know there was an old one... No, the remake, the one with Brad & George... the original one was with the Rat Pack (F. Sinatra, D. Martin and co) I quite like the new one though and even if 12 and 13 weren't as good, I would still watch them on TV if there's nothing better
Jenny Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Ocean's Eleven (the remake)is pretty good, if I recall, but I may have been too busy drooling to pay much attention to the plot. A lot of eye candy for the ladies in that movie!!!
Kevin Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 "I'm Not There " : 2/10 Wish I hadn't been 'there' as well . What I'd hoped would be a bio-pic of Bob Dylan turned into some surreal circus . Had a moment or two of clarity , but preferred to leave one in some self-centered 'Rolling Stone ' -kind of monstrosity - which they've hyped as the best picture of the year . Absolute crap , except for the original songs which do nothing to help this piece of shite out . Recommended if one needs some sleep though , as it is sure to overtake you .
edna Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 ...I may have been too busy drooling to pay much attention to the plot. A lot of eye candy for the ladies in that movie!!! I agree with you so much there, Jenny... That´s what kept me awake for awhile...
phil Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 I just rented Pineapple Express. A very funny flick. Makes you want to torch one up.
miamisammy29 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, I feel that way about all those Cheech & Chong movies... ....and Caddyshack.....and Titanic.....and The Killing Fields...and Deer Hunter...and Steel Magnolias...

Steel2Velvet Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Magnolia What a strange and wonderful movie! Forrest Gump on acid. 9/10
