Recently saw Starsky & Hutch - cute, funny, no-brainer but 2 hours of Owen Wilson
Saw Secret Window this weekend. It was okay-Johnny Depp was great but some of it was predictable- no big surprises. I would save this one for a cheapie matinee.
We are planning to go see the remake of Dawn of the Dead next weekend I liked the original so I hope this one is good.
Then we have to see VanHelsing with Hugh Jackman, The Punisher & Hellboy - thank goodness the movie prices went down
count me in I love Kevin Smith movies. gotta go catch that. haven't been watching anything new, all old stuff i have around house. but this coming from a girl who until my SIL drug me to Titanic ( 14 times in one summer, damn dollar theatres, lol) I hadn't seen a movie in a theatre since the late 80's.
All kidding aside, I am actually a Titanic buff and find myself glued to every documentary I see on TV about the ship. The last thing I wanted to see was a long fictional account.
I don't usually watch those antique programmes - you know loads of smug people showing off thier antiques and others who impatiently sit where obviously thinking "Shut up! How much is it?!" Well they had a copy of the last menu from the Titanic. NOt a very exciting menu - standard old British fare I think if I can remember but I expect it was considered classy at the time. The funny thing was they had used it to back a picture they had framed! Buggered if I can remeber how much it was going for though.
I too am a Titanic buff and have read books and watched many documentaries. So......you may be the only person who didn't see the movie and I'm one of the many/few who didn't like it. I can't see why they bothered weaving a fictional story into an already tragic and worthy true story. Really bugged me and I only watched it because I was at a friends. Suffice to say that you didn't miss much (in my humble opinion).
Saw Secret Window and, yep, Johnny was great. The story itself wasn't too bad but a little predictable. I'm realling looking forward to Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman. I love anything to do with vampires, etc. and think Bram Stoker's writings are great.
Last weekend saw "Spartan" with Val Kilmer. Movie, ok. Kilmer, yum.
Also saw "Hildalgo" with Viggo oh Viggo. Movie, ok. Hildalgo, funny and inspiring. Viggo,, oh Viggo. nuf said.
well ladies on the titanic debate. No i did not like it but SIL was like 13 at time. and maybe i had heat stroke to let her talk me into going but she had a huge leonardo thing that summer. so i indulged. didn't really like the movie. but it beat the time she went crazy watching "what's eating gilbert grape" all summer her and her brother acting like leonardo in that movie . lol kids.
really want to watch the new tom hanks movie. and about a ton others. will i get to? who knows..
I went to see "Dawn of the Dead" this weekend - excellent! Very creepy/scary Excellent update of a horror classsic
Peacock- are you asking about the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre? If so the new one is actually very scary and not funny (except for a few moments) - I really enjoyed it. This was another remake that I was worried about seeing but turned out to be very good.
I went to see Passion Of The Christ last week....and I went to see Dawn Of The Dead Friday night...both were excellent and well done films...in entirely different ways.
Mauvais...dh is a collector of "cult horror classics" and was thrilled that they were remaking one of his classic favorites. I thought they did a really good job with it, didn't you? In the theatre you were in...was did you experience one part where the entire audience "jumped?" We sure did. We were in the near back...so it was hilarious to see!
Alternachicks at the movies
I liked the original so I hope this one is good.
