I watched a few oldies this weekend-
The Seven Year Itch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes The Long, Hot Summer Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe? Cat on a Hot Tin Roof -Elizabeth Taylor & Paul Newman were disgustingly hot during that time. |

I LOVE that movie! :) |
Just saw DISTRICT 9. Bloody fantastic.

State Of Play. Pretty good movie. It will make you think.
Without spoiling the ending of the movie, I thought it lost it's focus right at the end. Who knew Eddie Vedder had gained so much weight??? |
I rarely watch movies. I rarely watch TV. So my answer is none, no movies at all. No time. Much too busy writing nonsense here on The Ledge to get anything else done in my life...

I thought it would just be "okay" -- however, I really liked it. Thought Crowe, Affleck, and McAdams all did a great job. |

I started in on "Mamma Mia!" this weekend - -
I think it's awesome. Silly, but it's supposed to be. :) |

Those are great movies, I'm a serious Marilyn and Elizabeth Taylor fan so reading this has now made me want to watch them all. |

Fried Green Tomatoes!!
lol I love that movie :) so glad it was on yesterday I also tried watching No Reservations but the satellite went out due to a bad storm and I never saw the ending. I didn't really even mind that much. |

I loved it, personally. A lot of people in the audience thought it was so silly that they were laughing at it, though. |
I just got home from seeing District 9. This was a m0vie I was dying to see when I first read about it two weeks ago in Entertainment Weekly.
I asked everyone I knew if they wanted to go, even offered to pay. Everyone said no so I went alone. The movie cost $10.25. The first 30 minutes bored me to death and I considered leaving. Then I told myself I wanted to get my money's worth so I stayed. Then it got good and stayed good for a while and then it , well it just got plain ole stupid, but it was cute. Wouldn't go see it again though. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 4. Everyone in the movie theatre as we were leaving just had a duh look on our faces. |

It's strange to me how a lot of people who see this movie have some negative impressions of it, and yet it continues to rake in the major buckage in near-record amounts... :shrug: |
I watched Nights in Rodanthe a few days ago...I loved it all the way up until the end...I'm glad I finally got to see it, and I'll never watch it again. I have to say, though, I lovvvvvve Richard Gere and Diane Lane together :nod:

Gran Torino
I loved it! I totally bawled at the end, though. It's supposed to be based in MN, which is where I'm from, so that was interesting. |
ooo I also saw The Final Destination last week
the only cool part was that it was in 3D |
Sunset Boulevard
"You're Norma Desmond. Used to be in silent pictures. Used to be big." "I am big. It's the picture that got small." "Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up." I think the best follow up to that flick would be What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. |
I saw an old favorite of mine: "Toby Tyler" with Kevin Corcoran & a playful chimp.

I watched 'Everybody Says I Love You' last night. It's one of my 'middle of the night' movies, it feels weird for me to watch it during the day. Highlight of the movie? Flying Goldie Hawn.

Ok, I just saw RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION & I didn't think much of it. It all looked like a commercial for Gillette hi-tech razor, because all the men had afternoon shadows & all the women had some hair in their armpits. Even the zombies were growing a lot of facial hair. The film also had the usual amount of unbelievability (guy being chased by zombie birds runs to the safety of a bus, but instead of hauling his ass through the door & shutting it -- which is what a real person would have done -- he stops for a few moments in order to turn around & fire off a useless round or two at twelve gazillion birds) & cartoonish action (chop-suey fighting with zombies until one smart chap finally had the brains to get a flame-thrower).
These dumber-than-dumb action flicks always use the same color palette, too. Have you noticed? Everything is the same steely-gray & two or three shades of abiotic green. The film is also a barrage of film references: THE BIRDS, PLANET OF THE APES, DAWN OF THE DEAD, MAD MAX, THE MATRIX, ALIENS, TREMORS, & on & on & on & on. But not a single reference was deft or clever. I think there were more references than zombies at one point. This stupidity was directed by Russell Mulcahy, who used to direct videos for MTV (including Fleetwood Mac's GYPSY). His filmography tells an interesting moral story: He has never made a decent picture & shows no signs of ever doing so. Who gives him money? |
Quote:
Ricochet is an amazing movie that uncannily captures the temper of its moment; Mulcahy's wide-screen compositions vivify the times in that movie. I thrill to it often. |
Final Destination. Figured I'd give this a try. One
down two to go. Not bad for this "type" of a movie. |
I saw a movie last night with Julianne Moore and Hugh Grant - I forget the title but it was a nice romantic comedy. Had Robin Williams in it too.
Anyway - - - I already knew that there was "something about" Juliane Moore but o.m.g. - - - She was STUNNING when she was young! Even Hugh Grant was like - "OHHHhhh wow!" - you could "just tell." (i.m.o., of course.) Anyway - Yeah - wow!!! :blob2: |
I'm a little behind on my movies, but tonight I watched Paper Heart.
I thought it was very good. Unique to say the least. If you rent this Docu/Comedy make sure to watch the extras. Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera did a good job. |
I watched "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock for the first time yesterday! I thought it was pretty good, but not as scarey as people have said :rolleyes: lol
Oh and Paul Blart: Mall Cop, such a waste of time Zzzz |
Quote:
Cool movie! The Mall cop.......I can't stand looking at that dude. |
