Ken Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 I watched "Cadillac Records", credit where credit is due, Beyonce Knowles knocked the hell out of Etta James' I'd Rather Go Blind" and Church Bells . Pretty good movie although I think some artistic license was taken with some facts here and there..... Ken.
Uncle Joe Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 Seven Pounds...I liked it very much. I'm a sap for that type of movie. And I always enjoy Will Smith flicks. Without giving away too much it's about a man who blames himself for a terrible tragedy and rather than just offing himself he tries to atone in a very creative way. 8/10
Levis Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Let The Right One In - Swedish vampire movie. Here are the facts: One, Vampires don't like sunlight. If you expose one to sunlight they will go up in flames. Not just sizzle sizzle flames - like towering inferno flames. Two, Vampires aren't all good looking blokes. They also take the form of 12 year old girls and 80 year old men. Three, vampires don't delicately suck your blood through hollow fangs. They tear open your jugular and shlurp it out messily without stopping wipe off the stuff around their lips and leaving a puddle on the ground. I'm assuming this is because if they don't get to it fast enough, it will clot. Four, vampires kill you. gruesomely. Like they twist your head 180 degrees. Again, this is probably out of pity, because no one should want the life of a vampire. Five, a vampire cannot enter your house without you inviting them in. If they do they will start to sweat blood. Six, Suicide rates are higher in Northern Europe and now I understand why. I am never going to live in Sweden. I loved this movie It was a vampire romance, sure, but this isn't Hollywood - the romance is between a 12 year old Swedish boy and a 12-forever year old vampire girl. It's very heartwarming especially the part where she decapitates and delimbs and devours the school bullies who are trying to drown the boy. Sigh - 8/10 - sweet closure, I love it.
Farin Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 It's very heartwarming especially the part where she decapitates and delimbs and devours the school bullies who are trying to drown the boy. umm... right...
Levis Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 And he looks adoringly into her large, sad, blue eyes as the blood spreads through the swimming pool... sigh....
The Seeker Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 It's very heartwarming especially the part where she decapitates and delimbs and devours the school bullies who are trying to drown the boy. There just aren't enough girls like that around
Uncle Joe Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Didn't Hall and Oates do a song about her?
Levis Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 she doesn't eat them entirely, just rips them apart and snarfs the blood. Yum.
_Laurie_ Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Baby Mama I pretty much laughed through out the movie....Amy Poehler was quite a hoot, played the part well...7/10
Lucky Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 she doesn't eat them entirely, just rips them apart and snarfs the blood. Yum. And they say there aren't enough good role models for girls in films today.
Epiphany Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 I've never heard of Let The Right One In... I think I'll buy it on eBay after reading Radhi's delightful description.
Ken Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 We rented "Slumdog Millionaire" last night and 24 hours later I am still wondering why this thing won best picture. I found it disjointed and chock-full of unlikeable characters. I thought I was the odd man out but most of my co-workers and customers weren't fussy about it either. Ah well, beauty and the eyes of the beholder and all that....
MindCrime Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Paul Blart: Mall Cop 7/10 It was better than I expected, but still not that funny.
Farin Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Posted April 12, 2009 Keeping Mum with Maggie Smith, Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas... very british 8.5/10
greendaddy43 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Fast and Furious 4 5 out of 10 Not for lack of story but lack of racing.
Shawna Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 "Doubt" 9/10 riveting... but I think Meryl Streep overplays her part a little. This is one of those movies that really leaves you wondering what is the truth.
Foolonthehill Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I just watched "A Knight's Tale". It was very entertaining.
Lucky Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Beverly Hills Chihuahua (I think that was the title!)was actually quite cute. For whatever reason I had it in my head that I wanted to see it, we did, and hey what do you know, it was ok. Ay Caramba! 7/10
Uncle Joe Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 "Doubt" 9/10 riveting... but I think Meryl Streep overplays her part a little. This is one of those movies that really leaves you wondering what is the truth. I watched this one over the weekend, too Shawna and I agree. Oddly it also leaves one disliking the accuser even more than the possible pedophile.
miamisammy29 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 ...it also leaves one disliking the accuser even more than the possible pedophile. Meryl Streep has that effect on lots of people. I even found myself routing for Kevin Bacon in "The River Wild".
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 The Poughkeepsie Tapes +5 for making me think it was real...-5 for it to be a mockumentary in the end. Benjamin Buttons 10/10 Yes Man 10/10 HILARIOUS! The Day the Earth Stood Still 7/10 AI Artificial Intelligence definite 10/10 Fast and Furious(2009) 9/10
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Fast and Furious 4 5 out of 10 Not for lack of story but lack of racing. Ill agree, there is not as much racing in it, but the story makes up for it. 2 semi friends going after the same thing, working on different sides of the law.
Jenny Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I watched "Tropic Thunder" last night. Funny, funny, funny......over the top and profane. It skewers actors, agents and studios and the actors were great. I thought Tom Cruise was hilarious and I loved his dancing at the end!! 8/10
