Shawna Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 As did Rick Springfield, who freely admits it... I don't see why a woman stays with a guy like that.
Ombre Vivante Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Because they have money, power, and fame. It's not uncommon. I mean, aren't these part of the attributes of an "alpha male"?
Shawna Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Saw "Moneyball" today. Decent enough movie, but I doubt I would have liked it at all if it wasn't about someone I knew in junior high. I've never been a Brad Pitt fan, but he was pretty good in this. My kid liked it quite a lot, which is saying something, since he usually doesn't like a movie unless it's got chases and blood and violence. So based on that, I'll give it a 8.5/10
Jenny Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I went to see "Dolphin Tale" on Saturday. It's based loosely on the story of a dolphin that was rescued off the coast of Florida, had her tail amputated and was fitted with an artificial tail. They dramatized the story by adding in a troubled boy who connects with her. It was sweet at the end, though, when they showed real footage of Winter's rescue and then footage from the Clearwater aquarium where amputees are able to get in the pool with her and connect with her. Sammy loved it and now she wants to go see Winter the dolphin. 8/10.
Farin Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Posted October 4, 2011 I watched The White Ribbon yesterday, the story of some mysterious happenings in a small German town shortly before World War I... a very good, even if difficult film... but I guess something with this subject matter (the roots of facism / terrorism) shouldn't be treated lightly anyway. 5/5
Jenny Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I want to go see "What's Your Number?" I'll have to recruit a girlfriend to come with me.
Shawna Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I'll go, Jenny! I've got to go to Trenton, anyway. Are you close?
Batman Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Drive: 9.5/10 Immediately after seeing this film, I thought to myself, damn, this movie was all style and no substance, but the style was so good that it doesn't even matter, and it's actually a better movie for having no substance. But then I thought about it for a while and realized that there is actually a lot of substance to the movie, it's just not shoved in your face like you would expect an arthouse action flick to be. Much like another favorite of mine, No Country for Old Men, it is intentionally minimal in terms of character development and plot, which not only allows the audience to draw their own conclusions but also make commentary on emptiness and Hollywood. I dunno, sometimes I think I'm a little too quick to assume a movie is about movies in general, but I think I'm on the mark with this one. Anyway, I thought it was fantastic. Probably the "Taxi Driver" of our generation. Or at least the "No Country for Old Men" of Los Angeles. Or a less silly "Inglorious Basterds." Or maybe just a big cool aesthetic visual and aural feast, which I'd be ok with too. Also, I'm gonna be pretentious and create a new genre name for it: Post-superhero. Took off a half point because the gore really did get to me. I think out of the action scenes, the most effective ones had the least gore. I'm fine with violence, but let's be real, blood is gross.
_Laurie_ Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Paranormal Activity 3....should be Paraboring...all through the movie I was waiting for something scary to happen, but nope, nothing...there might of been one scary part in that whole movie and that's about it...I don't even know why it's rated R...Now I know why I don't go to the movies that much...10 bucks a ticket and then be dissappointed...oh well. I did not see the first two movies, so I have nothing to compare it to..but I'm guessing they probably weren't that great either.
miamisammy29 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 "Bad Teacher" - Not bad enough for me, if you know what I mean. 6 out of 10. "Bridesmaids" - Eh, it had its moments...but much more of a chick-flick than I thought it would be. 6 out of 10. "The Beaver" - Imagine my surprise when I found out it WASN'T a porno flick......AND it starred Mel Gibson. But actually it was kinda funny - and gorey at times. Liked it a bunch, but it's not one of those you'll wanna watch over and over. 7 out of 10.
Fast-Debrid Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Last movie I watched was Rise of the Planet of the Apes while riding a bus. It was good for its imaginative aspect. However, I wanted to see more of James Franco. I mean there was something lacking. I'd give it a 7.5. Edited October 27, 2011 by Guest
Jenny Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Puss in Boots - cute, but nothing special. My daughter liked it, though, and even though it's PG rated, I didn't think there was anything too bad in it for the kiddies 6/10
night2day Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I started watching, "The Hereafter" the other night and was truly impressed with the first ten minutes of it. The Tsunami footage was cinema excellence and actually gave me a nightmare! Sadly, the other 90 minutes of the film drowned. I think it was the tsunami's fault; or Matt Damon's robotic acting skills. 4/10
edna Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I was watching TV late at night trying to get asleep... nothing better than crappy TV for that purpose... ...and suddenly, "Raging Bull" by Scorsese. How I loved that movie!
night2day Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Wow, Martin Scorcese. One of the best and including but not limited to the masterpieces from him; Taxi Driver The Color of Money Mean Streets The King of Comedy The Last Temptation of Christ Goodfellas Cape Fear (1991) Casino Gangs of New York Mr. Scorcese has a way of making history come alive, imo. I just wish i knew how to pronounce his name; is it Scor-say-see or is it Scor-cess-eee?
TheLizard Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Somehow, I'd never seen Breakfast At Tiffany's until tonight. I think my heart just melted into a thousand gooey bits of melty happy goo. 9.5/10 The .5 was taken off for racist Mickey Rooney.
TheLizard Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 GO SEE THE MUPPETS. GO SEE THE MUPPETS RIGHT NOW. 10/10
miamisammy29 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 No, I think I'll just play the DVD at my next birthday party. I turn SEVEN in January.
Lucky Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Well now, that statement, when read along with your signature, is just so very wrong .....
TheLizard Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 You're never too old for the Muppets...
RockyRaccoon Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 You're never too old for the Muppets... That is factually correct.
RyanTurtle Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Went to see The Muppets last night with my niece and nephew and we loved it! So funny, and I'm really glad they used the actual puppets instead of Lucas-ing it up and making them CG. I'd have to agree with the 10/10 rating.
Uncle Joe Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Seeing The Muppets with my granddaughters and their parents. Can't wait! For the record I'd go see 'em alone if I had to.
