Green Lantern: First Flight
Pretty damn good! It's an animated movie so it was right up my alley. Hal Jordan's ascent to the Lantern Corps. was pretty quick but I could see why they rushed through it. As far as DC Comics animated movies goes this is pretty good up there along with the Invincible Iron Man.
The Changeling (2008) - i found Angelina Jolie to be terrific and very well-suited for this movie. Her extreme dedication and sympathey to the true and tragic events of this heartbreaking film impressed me too. Directed by Clint Eastwood, which is a big bonus and whom so everyone enjoyed working with. Loved the period costumes, too. What do people wear now, but jeans and a t-shirt for the past how many decades..lol Times were classier back then..
I just watched THE GIFT....with Cate Blanchett...again...absolutely love this movie..
anyone seen it?
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" Loved it!
Favorite quote from the movie: "I'm just a girl who??s lookin?? for her own peace of mind; don't assign me yours!"
Last movies watched were:
Lars and the Real Girl - Ryan Gosling shines in this.
The Mist - It's a cross between being very pro-religious and very anti-religious. The end is messed up. It's definitely not the best Stephen King novel related film, but it's also not the worst.
Quarantine - Apparently the Spanish original is better because it has a less polished look, but the Spanish version was pretty boring to me. It didn't grab me immediately like the opening for this one did. There aren't major differences from the remake compared to the original, but it is easier on the eyes and takes some artistic license. Jennifer Carpenter a.k.a. Debra Morgan from the show Dexter is great.
The Final Destination - The 3D aspect was pretty cool but aside from that, there really isn't anything unpredictable compared to the other Final Destination installments.
Human Nature - The director, Michael Gondry is genius, but this film managed to be so overly bizarre that it ended up going completely over my head. I'll have to watch it again when have more time to pay attention to it because I missed a few scenes.
EDIT: His name is Michel Gondry. He's also the director of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and Be Kind Rewind which are both great films.

*running to netflix a copy of Human Nature and Be Kind Rewind*
Bridge on the River Kwai - l like a decent war movie once in awhile; this 7x oscar winner is in a class of its own.
Most memorable quote: "What have I done?" Colonel Nicholson
a few i watched lately:
30 Days of Night ~ Josh Hartnett (Loved it! -a much more gory, less pretty vampire movie)
Fast & Furious (2008) - i always liked Vin Diesel/Paul Walker best in these movies. ..cooolest cars!
I don't do many movies but last one NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
HARD BUT GOOD
Mesrine-really good. I haven't seen the second one yet. Cassel is superb, his face is perfect.
Death Becomes Her....Hilarious!
Is the Crazier gory? Would you recommend it?
The last movie I saw was Sherlock Holmes. It was good. I liked it.
Crazies*
I just watched Shutter Island... crazy movie. I liked it.
Dumb & Dumber
'Unforgiven', Clint Eastwood.
twilight eclipse.....yeh it was shit i only wanted to see victoria and leah clear water but they changed vicoria to the girl off the village and leah doesnt say anything
and i just watched the afro samurai which ispretty cool
Clash of the titans... 2 thumbs down...
Recently Two Lovers again. Joaquin Phoenix is brill in it. And what will become a favourite of mine Lovely and Amazing with Brenda Blethyn-she's a great actress.
DARK COUNTRY ('09) ~ with Thomas Jane - Sin City meets The Hitcher meets The Twilight Zone. A very surreal, obtuse, & artzy THRILLER, that truly has its gruesome moments. Low-budget noir/horror at its finest. 4 outta 5 mystical stars!
Wall Street. Enjoyed.
i just watched that Bad Lieutenant and it's amazing. definitely Nicolas Cage's best performance since Leaving Las Vegas.
I watched 'The Proposal' on DVD hell yeah I enjoyed it.
Watching 'Julie and Julia' halfway. Not what I expected at all.. not sure whether to be disappointed or not. Shall see at the end of the movie.
Monica & David.
Beautifully done.
Did it suck, Bling? I loved the first one.
I saw Burlesque and it fucking SUCKED. I knew it was going to tho, but I still let my aunt drag me to go see it with her.
I Love You To Death.
with River Phoenix & Kevin Kline.
i am in love with this movie.
& river is like the male version of me in this movie
'The Affair of the Necklace'. Because I'm a period piece junkie.
Thumbs up for its originality. Semi awkward cast ensemble, though..
watched Hereafter with Matt Damon. Surprised at Clint Eastwoods slow take on it but was a pleasant film. A change of character for Damon, as he had the most boring role as a recluse, however there's a certain quality he possesses which makes you interested and engaged.
The FIghter is my nxt film.
Just watched Inception and my husband and I both thought it was "meh...". I mean, it was well done, but not sure what all the hype was about. We thought our heads were supposed to explode or something. Maybe it was more impressive on the big screen? Amused to find out that my husband wouldn't kick "Juno" (his name for Ellen Page)out of his bed. Is she hot? I never knew that. I still think of her as a pregnant teenager!
True Grit. I like 'the dude'...
Disappointed with True Grit, not very Coen Brother like however the 14 yr gal steals the show. Watched The Fighter and thought it was highly engaging and worth every penny.

*Ahem* ... *adjusts jacket* ... AngelKeeper you do realize the film is based on the novel? That's probably why it didn't have any of the usual plot twists and shocks that usually infests a CohenBrother film.
It still had beautiful shots of the scenery and realistic violence.
The film was perfect.

Yawn...well i believe the original to be better and yes i do realise it based on novel, however it was rather disappointing coming from a Coen Brothers fan. Perhaps you are enchanted by above average films?
The violence resembles one from a Jason Statham flick, hardly realistic but then again having 4 henchmen fire at Jeff Bridges and miss could be acceptable if your name happen to be Mr Bean.

The original is good but no way better! It's too hollywood and clean. And yeah, how those henchman all missed wasn't the most realistic thing iv'e ever seen but Jesus Christ suspend your belief! And Bridges character was the supposed to be the best of the best and a total badass, and i thought when so and so got shot in the face was pretty darn horrific
127 hrs.
Dinner For Schmucks. Annoying! The few funny moments weren't worth it.
I watched Blue Valentine, it was touching, but i couldn't stop thinking how big Ryan Gosling's willy is! You see an outline of his willy and it's ridiculously big. Like massive. So yeah i couldn't concentrate and thought that perhaps i was seeing things, which is easy to do cos if you have something on your mind of course you're going to start seeing it.
I highly recommend Dirty Pretty Things, what a movie, i'd watched it before ages back and it was on tv recently.
Just saw The Social Network. I understand that it was a well-done movie, but overall didn't find it that interesting or entertaining.
Chandler?
There's a ten yards as well ... oh lord 😢

A Beautiful Mind..pretty cool, replete with the obligatory Russell Crowe fight scenes. 🙂
lol. Yeah wouldn't be right otherwise
Magnum Force - Clint Eastwood. Lovin' my Dirty Harry collection, among others. Loved Gran Torino, and Escape From Alcatraz would be my ultimate Eastwood favorite. Who's cooler than Clint, even to this day..
Callahan's trademark weapon, the Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum revolver, was named the second greatest movie weapon of all time, behind the light-saber from Star Wars.
"Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" LOL
Brink (short film fest)
Dead Alive by Peter Jackson.
The Lion King after watching the musical. Never watched it before.
I forgot to say I hated it 😢
When I was a kid, I got Lion king souveniors but was never compelled to watch it.
I like 'The little Mermaid' and 'American Tale' better.

Addam's Family Values- 7/10
I love this movie. I think it's better than the first.
LOL:
Gomez: "I believe they own....A BUICK!"
Hahahaha
