What movie do you want to see?

[Samantha]

Wasn't she in the original? The one from the 70s or so.

[Davina, The Modster]

Oh, was she?

She was the little girl who played the demon possessed kid in the 1973 version? Cool.

[Samantha]

Exactly! I swear she never stop looking like she did in that movie to me, even as an adult. I can't shake the image. I think I'd read somewhere that she was mad b/c she was typecast b/c of that role. I can believe it.

[Davina, The Modster]

Yeah, her portrayal was very convincing. The scene that stood out for me was when she stormed down the stairs leaned over backwards. That image has been stuck in my mind since I first saw the movie years and years ago.

[Samantha]

I want to see Unknown. It looks interesting.

[Davina, The Modster]

Unknown??? With who? Don't know that one.

[Samantha]

I don't think it came out yet. It is starring Liam Neeson. Did I spell his name right? LOL! I like him.

[Davina, The Modster]

Yep, you did. I love Liam Neeson. He was so hot when he was young! (not that he still isn't :)

Now I can't get that scene out of my head, thanks Davina. LOL!

[Michelle]

I looooooooooove Liam Neeson movies. I can't wait to see Unknown!

[Davina, The Modster]

LOL, sorry Michelle.

This is good horror, though. It serves its purpose. I wish half the horror flicks coming out these days were as intelligent.

[Davina, The Modster]

So any new yet to be released movies you're looking forward to?

I saw a trailer for The Roommate starring Leighton Meester (isn't the girl from that TV show set in Upper East side? Gossip something?) and Minka Kelly, formerly of Friday Night Lights yesterday. It looks like your usual, predictable psycho thriller, but I still think I'd like to see it.

There's also a movie coming out with Tatum Channing (O.M.G!!!) where he plays some sort of a gladiator. I don't know if that's ideal casting for him but I'm so gonna watch it anyway! :)

[Samantha]

LOL...you do make me laugh. Gossip Girl. I want to see that as well but I hope its not terrible.

[Davina, The Modster]

That's it! I don't know why I always think its Gossip World ... that doesn't even make sense. Anyway, I've seen a few episodes I actually think Meester is a far better actor than the lead actress.

[Samantha]

I actually like the show. I can't believe I'm admitting this but I watch it. That's the beauty of having a young sister. Haha! Now I get caught up in her world sometimes. Oh, I agree. She is better than the blond chick.

[Davina, The Modster]

You're not alone in watching stuff you normally wouldn't. I'm somewhat of a step-in mom for my brother's daughter ever since her mother was cut out of the picture (freaking woman is nuts). She's a great kid and she introduced me to the wonderful YA world of Twilight, Harry Potter, Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl and what have you. I only watch them when she's around, but its great fun. She's the daughter I've always wanted but never had. :)

[Samantha]

That's sweet :)

[Samantha]

I saw a trailer for Sanctum. I think I want to see it.

[Davina, The Modster]

Who is in that?

[Samantha]

I don't know but I know its from James Cameron.

[Michelle]

I don't if its been mentioned in this thread or not, but I'd really like to see the King's Speech. The more I see the previews, the more I really want to go!

[Samantha]

I don't know if this is going to happen or not. I found this article and I don't know what to think. Take a look and tell me what you think? Would you want to see him play this character?

http://b..."

I saw that too, and honestly thought it was a hoax at first. I feel bad saying it, but I just can't see it. Maybe it's because I look at him and I just see "Madea". I'm certain that he's read for the part, and impressed someone enough to get the part.

[Samantha]

I thought the same thing as well, Michelle. The first thought was "this is a joke." Anyway, I don't know if he fits the image that I have of Alex Cross. Maybe he'll do a good job if this does pan out but for now, I'm not interested in seeing him in this role.

[Davina, The Modster]

I actually don't mind that he's taking over the role. I've read most of the Alex Cross books and I didn't picture Cross looking like Morgan Freeman. I thought Freeman was/is far too old for the role. I think Perry is more age appropriate and he's handsome too so I'm happy, girls. I'll watch him in whatever Alex Cross movies they have planned. Besides, I'd like to see Perry outside his own domain and on somebody else's turf. It would be interesting to see how he fares.

[Samantha]

I didn't see Freeman as Alex Cross either but I liked him. Well we shall see how Perry do. I agree that it would be interesting to see Perry step outside his own domain.

[Michelle]

I've heard The Rite is receiving mixed reviews. I didn't realize it was out in the theater already.

[Samantha]

Michelle, I haven't heard good things about this and I want to go see it. I'll probably go check it out for myself anyways.

[Davina, The Modster]

I personally don't pay too much attention to reviews. They're just one guy's opinion and its often elitist, bordering on stupid. Moreover, the critic and I aren't always likely to have the same taste. I want to see The Rite too.

[Samantha]

Michelle, I think The Rite came out last week. I think Sanctum comes out tomorrow. I'm debating whether I'll go see it.

[Samantha]

I think I want to see The Mechanic.

[Davina, The Modster]

I want to see The Mechanic as well. Love me some Jason! Also want to see the new Big Momma movie. Is it out in theatres yet?

[Samantha]

I don't think so. I just saw the trailer for it. I'm assuming in a few weeks but I don't know a clear date. I don't think I'll go to see that. I wasn't pleased with the 2nd movie. I love Martin Lawrence! But he fell flat in that film.

[Davina, The Modster]

You're a tough cookie, Sam. Tough cookie. ;)

[Samantha]

LOL. Hey, I love Martin Lawrence. I went to see both Bad Boys 1 & 2 twice b/c he makes me laugh. I'm not that hard to please :)

Who wants to see I'm Number Four? Doesn't it look like a bootleg X-Men.

I've heard that Roommate did well this weekend. I'm impressed b/c I definitely got that Single White Female vibe and didn't think it would do that good.

[Samantha]

Oh, I just saw a commercial advertising, The Eagle with Channing Tatum! I want to see it :) It comes out Friday.

[Davina, The Modster]

I think Martin Lawrence has the funniest facial expressions! He usually makes me laugh no matter what he does.

I got the same vibe about Roommatetoo, lol, but the film peaked my interest because that chick's in it. The one from (one of) my ex-favourite shows Friday Night Lights. I'll probably go see this sometime this week.

[Samantha]

I still want to see it :) What is Friday Night Lights?

[Michelle]

Has anyone seen the previews for The Priest? I know it doesn't come out until May, by I MUST see that movie!!

[Davina, The Modster]

The Priest? What priest? Who's in it, Michelle?

[Davina, The Modster]

Friday Night Lights is a TV series based on the book of the same name. Stars Kyle Chandler (formerly of Early Edition) and Connie Britton who play Mr. & Mrs Coach to a bunch of high school misfits in the ficticous town of Dillon, Texas. It was good the first 2 seasons, but kinda went downhill from there. I think it has been cancelled if I remember correctly.

[Samantha]

I just saw the trailer for it, Michelle. It looks interesting. Is the guy playing the Priest, the same guy from the Da Vinci Code or was that Legions? Anyone see Legion? He must like those types of films.

[Michelle]

Yup. The Priest will be starring Paul Bettany; the same guy from Legions, which I still haven't seen :( I look forward to seeing all movies related to vampires, werewolves, apocalypese etc.

[Samantha]

Well definitely see Legion.

[Michelle]

Samantha wrote: "Well definitely see Legion."

I really want to. One of my brother's is a movie addict. He goes to see all the movies when they're first released. He saw Legion and talked about it so much before I could cut him off, that I decided to wait.

[Samantha]

Lol. I like vampire movies but lately they all seem the same. I hope Priest is different. It appears so.

[Michelle]

I does appear different doesn't it?! I went to the Redbox thing late at night, when there was no one around in search of a good vampire movie. I rented the sequel to 30 Days of Night, and was disapppointed with it for the most part. It just seems like I've seen all the good ones. *Sigh*

[Samantha]

I know.

[Michelle]

I've never seen The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft, and think I'm going to try to hunt down a copy to watch this weekend.

[Samantha]

Ah The Graduate! I love Dustin Hoffman. I think you'll like it, Michelle :)
