Did I mention...Penelope Cruz?

I've been wanting to watch this. I heard it was great-- what didn't you like about it?

Everybody, find a way to see A Single Man. I don't know if I mentioned it on here already but seriously, that was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

The Runaways was really good as well.

I didn't care for the actor (Lluis Homar) who played Harry Caine.
Plus I'd read good things about the movie, so I was probably guilty
of high expectations. Ms. Cruz sure lights up the screen though.

Watch it and report back Ms. Dani.

I just rewatched the 1978 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" starring Donald Sutherland. First saw it when I was around 13 or so.

.......

It also had Leonard Nimoy in it, as well as Jeff Goldblum in his first movie role. (Or at least an extremely early one.)

I like this version better than the Nicolle Kidman version. It's very well done, i.m.o.

........

By the way if anyone's curious about it, it's based on a novel from 1955 called The Body Snatchers by someone named Jack Finney. The original film was released in 1956 and starred someone named Kevin McCarthy. There's many interpretations of the story, for example a warning about the spread of Communism; but also it could be about the anti-Communist paranoia that was going on back then. ("Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party"; the "blacklisting" of supposed Communists in Hollywood, etc.)

The Conversation.

Snoooooooze. I'm not one of those people who doesn't like older movies because they're considered "slow" and "boring," but I really didn't like this movie. Anyone else?

just saw "The Last Song", that movie with Miley Cyrus -

i will say that if some other actress besides Miley had played the main character, Ronnie, it would have easily made it my favorite movie. The most i've ever cried in a theater before..i recommend it!

I watched The Blind Side, all but the last 45 minutes because I fell asleep on the floor. A great movie really but I must've been tired after being up all that day so I need to finish watching it. I was thinking blonde hair wasn't working on Sandra Bullock. She reminded me of Britney Spears' mother or something. I don't know. Others said Kathie Lee.

This is classic! Great movie! Very scary!

How To Train Your Dragon-What a great movie!!! Kid's movies are the only movies I actually pay to go see at the theater anymore. This is such a great movie, it completely stomps Where The Wild Things Are. I took my little brother and got so into the storyline and characters that I wanted to watch it again haha

. I would definitely recommend seeing this because I truly thought it was incredible, it is such a tear jerker and that is saying a lot coming from someone who hasn't cried in a long time.

We're probably going to go see that on Easter Sunday in Imax and 3-D. . . . . .

There's a movie called "Burnt Offerings" on Turner Classic Movies
tonight (Friday) at 2 a.m. Eastern.
Scariest f'g movie ever... . . . . .

The older actress in the movie is especially scary.
There's rumors that back when she was younger,
she used to rip young men's hearts out and eat them
for breakfast. ....

Her most-dangerous weapon was her Greta Garbo Standoff Sighs...

Just got around to watching Sherlock Holmes. Maybe because I've had no previous interest in the man before the movie was made but I found it reaaally boring.

Just got back from the Clash of the Titans remake, which was pretty much like the original, except no puppets, and therefore not as good. A lot of acting going on in that film. A. Lot. Of. Acting.

Introducing friend to foreign horror, so we watched Takashi Miike's Masters of Horror offering, "Imprint." Miike is a delight, as always. Also watched The Descent, which ranks as one of my all-time fav horror films.
