The Boy In The Striped Pajamas: About Germans and the Holocaust where a young german boy is forbidden to be friends with a jewish boy in a camp.



Edge of Darkness/Mel Gibson: About a cop investigating why his daughter was shot and killed.

"The spikes gang" again for 'bout the 50th time. Great old movie.

I received Shutter Island early and bought Alice in Wonderland but won't watch them until next weekend.

I've been debating with myself about watching Alice in Wonderland. I hate to admit it but when I was a wee lad and confined to the house to get over some childhood illness, I read and was facinated by the book.

I watched a documentary about an over zealous prosecutor from Bakersfield CA that managed to round up several families and get them convicted of dozens of counts of child molestation. One gentleman accused of raping his own son was released after 20 yrs in prison when his conviction was over turned. They were all over turned due to deceptive interviews with the children.

The children, adults now were featured in the film and explained in detail how they were coerced into making false claims and that the events never happened.

The name of the film is Witch Hunt.

'Evening'

two hours of non=stop boredom, kept waiting for something to happy and it never happened.:rolleyes:

"About Schmidt". Jack Nickleson oldie. Sad, funny. Just a good movie if you like Jack. Kathy Bates is in it too.

that was a good one!

Last night I struggled half way through "Alice in wonderland". I don't see what all the hype is about. Pretty sucky movie, other than the visual effects. On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being award winning, I give it a -1. I want my money back.

it is a sucky movie.

We watched "Dear John" last night. It's a good movie.

Watched "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". Another good movie.

I'll check 'em out. I just got done watching "Crazy on the outside". I thought it would be funnier. It had a little bit of funny and a whole lot of serious. I was not too impressed.

'We the Jury'

a great movie!

I watched a movie I cant remember the name of and I dont know who the actors were but it was really good. Everyone should see it.

Yep I saw that too. It was great. Well it started off great then tailed off a bit toward the middle. Up untill then I would have recommended it

"Will Penny" Great old oater.

I saw that film and it was one of the best Horror Films that I have ever seen. The part where the Goldfish were devoured by the Siamese Cat was scary.

Rainman.....again.....spectacular!:guitarist

I havent seen the sequel yet. Guess I dont need to now.

I liked the rainman. One of Hoffman's best. Ain't seen it in a long time. Think I'll see it again.

That's my all time favorite.

Hoffman was amazing, enjoy!:guitarist

just watched Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise.

kind of a weird-creepy one.

"The Horseman". A low budget Australian flick. Lots of blood and gore. Not much plot. Mostly takes place at night. No buildings were blown up, no cars wrecked, hence the "low budget" claim.

The Book of Eli with Denzel Washington.

Is it any good?

I'd give it 3 out of a 5 star rating.

"Shutter Island" 5 out of 5 stars, best mystery of the year, possibly the decade.

"Book of Eli" 5 out of 5 stars, awesome, best movie of the year by far.

"Edge of Darkness" Stinker. 0 out of 5 stars, Mel made a bad movie, who knew it was possible?

"The Road" So crappy and depressing I wanted to kill myself after seeing it. negative 5 stars out of 5 stars.

Absolutely oustanding. You'd love it, Hoppy. Great action, great ending, great story, not a lot of gratuitous violence, sex, or gore...very uplifting, cool, and action-packed. And that's hard to pull off all at once!;)

It's everything I was hoping "The Road" would be but wasn't.:-2

Thanks Mustang, Saint. I may watch it tonight.

The Pedestrian.

just when I thought no one had a foot fetish.

geez, what a weird movie that was.

Watched "The book of Eli" twice, it was that good. Last night I watched "Hot tub time machine". Mostly because of John Cussack. It could have been a good movie and had a few funny scenes but totally fell apart into a confused piece of crap. I expected something like "Back to the future" or "The family man". Not even close.

Silence of the Lambs...again....awesome!

I bought a cheapo-five-dollar DVD quadruple play at Walmart and GADZOOKS! Three out of the four movies were actually cool! "Beyond the Law" with Charley Sheen, "Quicksand" with Michael Keaton were "B" movies, but darned good ones!

Two of my special orders from Amazon got in, the absolutely outstanding "The Naked Prey" and the "Space 1999" compilation.

I absolutely loved Space 1999 and UFO. They played a lot of re-runs of those series a few months ago. Took me back a few years. Gerry Anderson produced so much stuff that I loved as a kid

I might go and check out

the new Dicaprio film.

I watched the Pink Panther Strikes Again the other night. I love it!



"Does your dog bite?" ...

"Shutter Island" is a great movie. I think it's as good on the small screen as it would be on the big screen, although the photography was outstanding. (When you notice how cool each shot of a movie looks, that's usually the cameraman.)

Eclipse

Daughter loved it. I am definitely team Jacob now. After three movies he's the only one of those kids I can see with a glimmer of acting skills. bella seriously needs an enema to loosen up a bit and I guess if Edward is supposed to be playing a dead person that might explain his range of emotion..

Yeah, teenage angst movies wear thin pretty quickly. My wife and I call that movie, "The Further Adventures of the Girl with No Expression."

The Naked Prey is an amazing film. Love that one.

Finally got around to watching "Cold creek manor". I'm not a fan of Quaid but it was a first rate flick. I watched it twice.

that's one I have to see.

Thanks Hoppy,

I looked up a couple of reviews about the movie, and they were not too favorable.

But, I don't always listen to the critics. I read the plot of the story and watched a youtube trailer.

Movie looks great to me, and I've just ordered it from Netflix.
