I watched this with my eleven year old daughter who (obviously) had never seen it. What a great feel good movie - shot in two weeks with a total budget of $250,000 - it won Sidney portier his first oscar. Heart warming, funny poignant - they really don't make them like that anymore.

So far I've seen the Godfather Part 1 and about half of Part 2.
I like them both a lot but I don't see "what the big deal is" either -
I wouldn't put them on my list of "best movies ever made" the
way many fans do. I liked the acting, though.

Having a kid is such a great excuse to watch films like that, I love babysitting for that exact reason.

The last film I watched was The Waitress, I bought it because it was cheap and I remembered reading a review where it was compared to Amelie. It's not quite as good or thought-provoking but still a cute movie.

Hi guys! Been a while, huh?

Funny, I was on vacation last week, and watched a boat load of movies. Sara and I have been wanting to watch The Boy in the Striped Pajamas for the longest time now. Wasn't too bad. The ending was surprising and bittersweet. We weren't disappointed. Samantha and I both love Coming to America... oldie but a goodie. I made her watch Mississippi Burning, which has always been a favorite of mine. Anyhow, back to the new ones... Mall Cop was a let down. Didn't enjoy that one too much at all. Bride Wars was another let down in my opinion. Both just weren't as funny as I expected.

Let The Right One In
Best film of 2008

Quarantine
This is just plain fun and kind of freaky.

I agree, Let the Right One In was my favorite film of 2008. The film made dozens of top ten/critic's lists. Unfortunately, the just-released U.S. DVD features a new Americanized translation, different from what played in theaters. The company that released the DVD has responded to heavy protest and is releasing the original English subtitles. The "new" version added sex jokes, etc. Still, a full U.S. remake is coming from the director of Cloverfield. Let the Right One In is one of the greatest vampire films. It starts out somewhat dry, but let it work it's dark magic.

Quarantine is a near shot-for-shot remake (right down to set design) of the 2008 Spanish horror film [REC], which is short for "record." [REC] 2 is coming. Sony is finally releasing [REC] on DVD later this year. It's a tighter film than the U.S. remake, which is 15 minutes longer than the Spanish version, which is a gripping 75 minutes.

And last night I watched Duck Soup, & Female with Ruth Chatterton.

youngest wanted to go see 17 again...what a loada twaddle...most cringeworthy film I've seen in ages..(unless ur a Zac fan, in which case you'll drool,esp when he steps out of his new car and onto school campus....nice shades..very cool leather jacket and white t-shirt)
The new Harry Potter trailer looked more interesting!

I don't think I've seen Duck Soup, maybe TCM will show it one night.
I don't recognize "Female" with Ruth Chatterton. What's the story like?

Duck Soup is one of the funniest movies I've seen, and the best of the Marx Brothers in my opinion. TCM will be showing it June 1st at 2:30pm. You can go to their site here and have them send you a reminder.
