streetdance 3D (i saw it in 2D)


has me boucing through the house like a spaz (i think there's no one else home).

It looks like we are going to the Harry Potter movie this saturday night. subject to change if my sister in law finds the movie she wants to see. It's her turn to pick the movie. I picked the last one. we e ach get a turn: me, my sister in law and my disabled brother in law (he's the real movie buff: the trivia he knows about movies is amazing. If it had been my turn again I would have picked "The Tourist" because I like both Depp and Jolie. Oh well. there is always On Demand in a few months. but it's just not the same.

In the last three days, I've seen "Megamind" and the new "Harry Potter" with the kids.

Lord have mercy...

[Michele]

Clark, we did go to the new "Harry Potter" movie and enjoyed a lot of it. How did you like it? How did the Kids like it?

you secretly enjoyed that.

Watched "Girl Interrupted" last night. The DVD was screwed up -- so much of the middle and end were a jumble of freezing and jumping around from section to section. I hate that.

Angelina was really good - as was Winona. I'd like to see it again with a decent DVD. Netflix is sending me a replacement.

[Sally, la reina]

I went to the theater on friday and saw Due Date. OK, but not great. Wish we had rented it instead.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I liked Megamind. It wasn't great, but it wasn't stupid, either. I didn't realize Brad Pitt was one of the voices until the end. I thought it was George Clooney talking!

just watched a foreign film about accordion players in colombia. i love the way many foreign films are made. very little background soundtrack and lots of beautiful cinematography

[Jammies]

Not that anyone but me cares, but I won't watch movies where the dog dies.

title? I love those foreign movies and documentaries.

[Mary]

We just finished watching Antichrist which is not at all what it sounds like. Very, very weird movie.

[Jammies]

Myles, sometimes it's in the book, which is why I wouldn't watch the movie version of I Am Legend. Sometimes it is a movie that's been around a long time, so the plot has already been revealed, i.e. Mad Max. And sometimes you just have to walk out of the theater and sit in the car while your ex watches the movie and then gives you the silent treatment all the way home.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I just saw The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and it was like the other ones, full of complications, with a big cast that I could mostly ignore.
There's a bad secret government department that's been at work, and they were going down. Lisbeth is a badass, getting well again after what happened to her in the previous movie. There's a lot of scenes of her in her hospital room.

And wow, you should see what she wears to her court case! I don't think she'd be allowed to wear all those chains and studs in an American court, somehow.

It won't make much sense if you haven't either seen the first two movies, or read the books. And it's too long. And it ends in a way that makes me wonder if they've left things just a little open for movie sequels.

Three out of five stars from me. Not that thrilling, but satisfying.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

We've had The Girl Who Played With Fire waiting to be watched for a while now, and I just can't bring myself to watch it. Dragon Tattoo was alright but I didn't come to the end of the movie needing to see more.

Is it worth the watch?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

It's pretty hard to watch, Stacia. There's lots of examples of the mistreatment of women, and one of the major plot points is about women in what is basically sexual slavery.

However, you get a lot more of Lisbeth Salander's story, and if you find her as compelling a character as I do, it's worth it.

beautifully done. i like the pace and lack of dialogue in a lot of it. and [spoiler alert] there is a Colombian style Detroit rap battle in it with accordions. serious. incredibly cool.

I haven't read all of the Harry Potter books (only the first four), so maybe I'm not the best person to ask, but when I saw "Part 1" underneath the title on the new one, I knew it was going to be trouble. I was expecting to see Harry get slaughtered or something.

My kids love anything on the big screen, so they liked both of them.

[Michele]

One of my favorite guilty pleasures: "Once upon a time in Mexico". loved it.

[ms.petra]

thanks, Kevin. I put a library hold on it. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. back to work today.

[Michele]

there is a DVD about Bob Dylan at various Newport Folk Festivals out there and it includes the last year he appeared there when he outraged the whole folk community by going electric...good stuff. My family has decided to have an "ON DEMAND" movie night each month providing we can find a movie we all agree on. RIght now it's "The Kids are Alright" but I'm going to catch "cats &dogs,the revenge of kitty galore" as well. Love talking animals.

[Sarah]

I hate most movies about talking animals, and I'm with Jammies on gratuitous dog and/or cat deaths.

I finally saw Toy Story III this weekend. I would have bawled except my aunt was bawling for all of us, which made my cousins and I crack up instead. OK, and tear up a little. Great movie.

[Joanne]

I'm going to see "Fair Game" tomorrow. Has anyone seen it ?

[Félix]

No, but I saw The Ghost Writer last night. I thought it was well done. I didn't expect the way it ended.

[Sally, la reina]

We are watching The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford for the umpteenth time. Sweet adores it. I tolerate it.

[Sarah]

I've had that on my DVR forever. I keep meaning to watch it, but the DVR is downstairs and I don't tend to watch long movies down there.

[Sally, la reina]

You're not missing much. Imagine your grandpa reading you a book about cowboys, Casey affleck looking wiley and shifty-eyed, and Brad Pitt talking fast out of the corner of his mouth. Everything looks like it was filmed in South Dakota, and the color saturation and tint have been turned up to high.
Oh, and there are lots of old fashioned pistol shootouts.

[Sarah]

Are there horses? Do they get shot?

[Sally, la reina]

There are horses. A lot of horses. I don't think they get shot.

Have you seen Blazing Saddles? Someone punches a horse in the face in that!

[Sarah]

Huh. Maybe I blocked that out.

[[deleted user]]

If you want plot, you'd best look elsewhere. Three brickhouse babes with not much between the ears, but a temple below 'em, take it on the run after offing a dragster and taking the dragster's girlfriend hostage.

Returned recently by Coop after several years.

[Michele]

I'll stick with my "guilty pleasures" of the film variety: "Once upon a Time In Mexico" and an old 50's movie, "Them" also one I think was called "Leviathan" which also involved the problems that could crop up because of using nuclear power. Also, "The Legend of Hell House" (based on a story by Mr.Matheson.

[janine]

[image error]

one of the few dutch films i've seen that doesn't make me writhe.

[Joanne]

Fair Game was well done, but so depressing to relive the days leading up to war in Iraq.

Lee Marvin punches a horse in Cat Balou; yeh Blazing Saddles is hysterical. Richard Pryor wrote the part of the sheriff for himself to play the part but because he spent most of the advance he recieved on cocaine to stimulate his creative juices as he wrote, the film company sacked him and cast the other guy :o)

[Cynthia]

I was missing Patrick Swayze last night, so I watched "Point Break" (1991). Swayze is a surfer, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey are cops. I do not love Busey, but it was an entertaining movie.

[ms.petra]

I watched A Solitary Man with Michael Douglas. It was a pretty good movie. Usually it is the women who become invisible after a certain age, so it was refreshing to see it from the other point of view.

[ms.petra]

Last night, I watched You Don't Know Jack: The Life and Deaths of Jack Kevorkian. Wow, Al Pacino was fantastic in this movie. Interesting too, Susan Sarandon was in both movies that I had picked up at the library. She is really a great actress. Seeing her in two movies in two days, made me want to watch Bull Durham again.

[Sally, la reina]

We watched The Extra Man last night. Pushed it to the top of our Netflix queue mostly because of an awesome trailer at the beginning of the awful Joaquin Phoenix movie. Ugh! Kevin Kline, what a disappointment.

[Margarida]

Anybody watched " El Secreto de Sus Ojos " ? I thought it was pretty good.

[Sally, la reina]

Nope, but I love Spanish language films!

**adds to queue**

[Margarida]

Yup, me too, Sally. This one is quite recent, from last year :)

[Sarah]

I watched The Queen on BBCA the other night. I did miss the middle when my sister called, but all in all it didn't seem quite like a movie to me. So low key and understated. Great performances, though.

[Sarah]

We watched Scott Pilgrim last night (my choice) and The Killers (Zu's choice). I thought Scott Pilgrim was entertaining - especially Brandon Routh's vegan villain - but I wasn't previously annoyed by Michael Cera and now I am. I LOVED playing spot-the-Toronto-landmark. Casa Loma! Honest Ed's! Second Cup! Lee's Palace!

The Killers was kind of funny, and the scenes in Nice looked really pretty in HD.

[Sally, la reina]

I just watched that last night toooooooooooooooo, 299!

In contrast to you I'd never before found Michael Cera attractive and now I kind of want to kiss his youthful, curvy lips. I was also very amused by the vegan edge. I also liked the battle of the bands and Kim the drummer.
Lots of cute haircuts in that movie.
I think if I were about 14 I would be fanatic about my love for that one. Also, I think if I were more into video games I'd have enjoyed it ultimately.

Insomnia fare, 3:30 a.m.

This well-paced, shot-on-video voyeurfest follows Youth Brigade and Social Distortion on their first cross-country tour and provides a valuable and entertaining chronicle of an all-ages, D.I.Y. music environment that's all but kaput.

It begins with the crew converting an old school bus for the trip and making other vital preparations like shaving their heads and dyeing their hair. Maintaining an outrageous appearance was serious business back in those heady days. As Social Distortion leader Mike Ness notes with a superior air, "Most guys don't know how to wear makeup." I know I don't.

In between concert segments, the young travelers find kindred spirits at a Calgary punk house (complete with backyard skate ramp), where they are offered lodging and ominous-looking pots of chili, weather numerous mechanical problems with the bus, get stiffed by promoters, and pay a visit to Washington, D.C. scene deity Ian MacKaye at his day job scooping Haagen Dazs ice cream.

The gung-ho spirit weakens when some crew members catch the next Greyhound home, daunted by the prospects of spending the night on the streets of Detroit after plans for lodging fall through, and finally the ailing bus (and tour) grinds to a halt amid flaring tempers. Youth Brigade's Scott Stern declares the trip a financial disaster but a moral victory but if nothing else, it makes for a great way to spend 83 minutes.

[Cynthia]

Heidi, I watched "Bella" last night. It was really fabulous.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I watched Sorceror's Apprentice last night. It was alright, nothing special. The scene with the brooms and mops that was borrowed from Fantasia was probably the coolest scene in the movie.

[Félix]

No spoilers!

We watched Lovely, Still tonight. Have been waiting to see it eagerly, as the majority was shot here in Omaha a couple of winters ago. It's neat to see scenes from your neighborhood on screen. Nik Fackler's first feature-length, with Martin Landau, Ellen Burstin, and Elizabeth Banks (yum). Very well done. Bright Eyes song at the end, appropriately.
