Shooter-good movie, but a little more far fetched than I thought.
Breach-good movie, kept me interested the whole time.
1408 was horrible. I almost walked out of it.
Knocked Up was funny as .
Shooter-good movie, but a little more far fetched than I thought.
Breach-good movie, kept me interested the whole time.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
My review is the exact opposite...it kept me asleep the whole time. That movie was beyond boring.
Just rented Shooter. Bad ass flick. I'm gonna add that one to the DVD library! Something seemed familiar about the story...I think I read the book it was based on once, but they updated the plot.
Also rented something called "The Last Mimsy" or something like that for Little ASF. It wasn't a great film, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Timothy Hutton sure looks old these days! I'd recommend it for kids in the 8 to 12 range.
Loved The Evening- it spoke to me very much. I loved where she said about Harris- "He showed me what it could be like" and "no one ever moved me like he did." I know the feeling.
Have my tickets for Harry Potter tomorrow- IMAX 3 D.
I have really liked every movie I have seen this summer, but I do not go for the big blockbusters. I really liked the Waitress and was pleasantly surprised at Surf's Up!
I liked the part when it was said, "I've been married to Harris for 40 years- we just never lived together" ( He was an old boyfriend the speaker never fell out of love with. )
" Harris was just a boy dear. A very good looking one, but still just a boy."
I have known both those feelings about the same guy- mid crush for the first quote. post same crush for the second.
I'm a little behind, but I just saw the Reno 911 movie. It was pretty hilarious. The hotel scene cracked me up.
"Fido".
This movie slipped under the radar for the most part, but I had been waiting to see it for a few months.
Goofy and corny, but I expected as much going into it.

Saw Knocked Up and I loved it. I thought it was very funny.
Saw Transformers and was entertained, but it wasn't a great movie.
nothing beats santa clause 3.
1408 was horrible. I wanted John Cusack to just kill himself. The only good part was his reaction to his dead daughter exploding into ashes in his arms. That was great. Other than that, it was frustrating to watch.
Two thumbs way down.
Shooter - decently good. subtle pro-second amendment message with your generic action
Breech - excellent, best I've seen for the year so far.
Knocked Up- It was freakin' hilarious it's going in the collection when it comes out on DVD.
1408- Typical Stephen King the book was probably good but the movie was not.
Live Free or Die Hard- This is the best action movie I've seen in a while.
Pan's Labryinth was very good! Rented it a couple of weeks ago.
Pan's Labryinth is a great, great movie.
I just saw Live Free or Die Hard...sweet movie...of course there were a few bull scenes, but it's John McClane.
Fantastic Four: ROTSS- liked it
Going to see Transformers Sunday.
Ratatouille excellent. Get there on time for the Pixar short at the start.
F4 pretty good, altho they ruined Jessica with the hairdo and getup.
Luv try "Once"

based on what you've written i think you will like it.
And watch Zoolander already. Don't make me come down there.
The best movie I have seen lately was The Fountain, and that was on DVD. I recommend it to everyone; warning though its pretty sad.
I saw Harry Potter today... I have to say I'm thoroughly disappointed. In fact it SUCKED! A couple of points:
1) This movie has some ed up scenes. I'd be surprised if some kids don't come out having nightmares from watching it.
2) The Watson chick can't act to save her life, its always the same exagerated faces and heavy breathing (Same goes for Radcliffe on a few of the scences) She used to be cute, which would offset how bad she really is, but now, its worn off, and its plain to see.
3) Not nearly as many cool special effects scenes as there was on the previous ones.
4) Couldn't they have picked a prettier girl to play Cho?? She's fugly! I haven't read the books, but I've been told that she's supposed to be drop dead gorgeous. If this is true, somebody ed up the casting.
5) The whole ending was rushed, and unsatisfying and I don't just mean because its left open, which everybody expected.
On the other hand there are some good things about the movie:
1) The acting (outside of the three main kids) is superb as always.
2) They couldn't have picked a better, more annoying villain than Imelda Staunton. By the end of the movie you just want her strangled
^^Listening to KERA radio review, they said its very obviously not a kids movie like the first two were, or even a suspense thriller like 3, but intentionaly goes for this darker more sinister style of harry potter movie. I've been told the books do this as well. Kinda like they are written while keeping in mind the people who were young when the first book was written, and how old they are now.
That watson chick would be the only reason I see this movie, which will be never.
If you haven't seen Pan's Labryinth but plan to, do not read.
Pan's Labryinth is incredible, but I had a problem with two details in the movie.
First, why do the rebels use the key to unlock the storage building to steal the supplies? Why don't they just break the lock? If they break the lock and steal the supplies, the sadistic colonel wouldn't suspect his housekeeper of stealing the keys.
Second, who drew those images on the walls of the children being eaten by the blind monster?
It's really good but maybe a tad overrated.
Knocked Up is really funny (seriously, who posts at ST and has a problem with the vulgarity of this movie?)
Transformers - greatest SFX ever, worst movie ever. it's seriously the stupidest movie ever made, but dammit those robots look cool.
Black Snake Moan - the director of this movie has a hard-on for pairing quirky characters and interesting situations with the most obvious and horrible cliches (see Hustle & Flow). And someone please tell Justin Timberlake that he's not an actor.
Letters From Iwo Jima - incredible movie. about 100000000x better than Flags of our Fathers.
i agree totally here, but i haven't seen transformers. one of my friends said he couldn't tell if the FX were any good since the camera was shaking so much - he said he almost walked out. initially i saw BSM to see the paps, but it was actually a pretty good movie - letters from iwo jima blew me away.
thanks for the tips. i'll check out iwo jima asap.
HP is PG-13 for a reason.
