QUOTE(diane26 @ Mar 24 2006, 01:30 PM) Ok I am making this post for anyone that keeps track of movies as much as I do. I am a huge movie buff and I love hearing reviews of movies out I often have to wait for DVD allthough the Drivein is open again WOOHOO but anyway so please post any recent movie reviews here. This week I saw Derailed and In the Mix. In the mix was no oscar winner or anything but I think it was watchable and funny. Derailed was really good allthough it was extrmely predictable I called the movie really early on which I don't like but it was still good movie and kept your attention. I am a movie lover, but i often get the opportunity to watch all the movies I would like to. I just rented History of Violence. It was pretty good. Two really hot sex scenes too. I just watched Pride & Prejudice. That was really good. Thank goodness my little lady read the book like 3-4 times, she helped me keep up with what was going on. The beginning was a little confusing because it was so fast-paced right off the bat. I hate that in movies where you're expected to know characters and events right away. I need time to get used to everybody and who they are, you know? Haven't been to the show in a couple months, which is sad. We really have to pick our priorities since we're paying for our wedding all on our own

Pride and prejudice man I dunno after 10 minutes I shut it off and it is a rare occasion I do that maybe I will try it again. I was so bored I couldnt focus on it. I saw 16 blocks in the theatre a couple weeks ago want to see inside man. 16 blocks was good not oscar good but good. And I saw freedomland in the theaters not what I espected and not sure if I think it was good or not I dunno LOL

You should give it another chance and suffer through the beginning to get to the better stuff later on. I didn't see 16 blocks but want to. I also want to see inside man. I don't think I'll be able to go to the show this weekend, though. it's my bday Sunday. I'm trying to drum up some plans for this weekend, but it appears that everyone is doing something else. Oh, well.

I would go party with you I need to get out LOL I will try it again than I burned it for my mom cause I know she will want to see it. Dances with Wolves was an awesome movie but it took me 6 times to finally not fall asleep during the first 30 mins LOL. When the drive in is open I can go more cause I can lay the kids in the back of the rig with there Tv DVD player and I can see 2 new releases for one price I love it.

Scoundrel_SF's Free Movie Review of the Week: Inside Man
Inside Man is a great film. Each element of the film was very strong; intriguing story, witty script, great acting, fantastic cinematography - This was an absolute winner.
Clive Owen's performance, even behind a mask for most of the film, was amazing. Denzel and Jodie Foster both met their usual high standards (but in my opinion had the spotlight stolen by Owen, who's performance was something special). Christopher Plummer and Willem Defoe put in strong performances as secondary characters too.
I don't do "thumbs up" or rate movies with stars, but I'll tell you this: I don't pay to see movies - I'm a projectionist for VERY big theater, so I have access to just about everything that comes out and it's all free to me - Inside Man was so good that even after sitting through it twice (for free), I'd still pay to go see it a third time if a friend wanted to see it at some other theater, it's that good a film.

QUOTE(thenewguy @ Mar 29 2006, 06:30 PM) Just saw V for Vendetta, thought it was really good. The message was awesome. Oh, forget it. I was gonna post something, but now I'm not (Well, actually, I guess I am posting something ). I thought you said massage, not message. Oh, well. Who the hell cares about a message from Natalie Portman. Now a massage, that's another story

QUOTE(natalie @ Apr 6 2006, 08:36 PM) I know alot of you are going to think this is gay but if you've grown up liking the book of The Chronicles of Narnia you should see the movie. It would have kicked ass if they had actually managed to do the whole book as a movie but all in all I thought it was a good job and King Kong was enjoyable too. Boy Jackson likes to stretch the sappy moments doesn'y he? That was the only downfall. I saw and liked the movie and I'm not gay. Well, at least my boyfriend tells me I'm not Seriously, though. It is a good book. I just read the first book (which isn't really the first book, but the author wants the reader to start with it) called teh magician's nephew. It's pretty cool. it tells the story of how the whole thing started. I want to start reading the lion, the witch, and the warddrobe, but there's too many other books I want to read as well. Anyway... the movie is really good. I really enjoyed it.

I encourage evryone to read it. And don't worry i don't think your gay either.......I know. Just kidding.

QUOTE(bondiguy @ Jul 28 2006, 08:38 PM) I think this is an apt a thread as any to talk movies! I watched Pulp Fiction today for the first time in years and I almost forgot what a great moive it is. Tarantino is without doubt a genius in the art of film making, I dig 99% of things he is involved in. The question I put to all of you that have seen the movie... what is in the case? I have my own theories but would like to hear some others first as to not corrupt anyone's mind As much as love Tarentino's works and sick and twisted mind that is the only movie of his that I've never seen in its entirty. I've heard a few theories as to the what is in the case, but I don't have any to offer currently. (May have to make Sunday a movie night)
