The 3 Musketeers - (1973 version)... forgot how good it was

the 1979 movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers, in regards to how it projects how people see a person and that their perceptions can make them believe what they want themselves to believe when it may be the exact opposite.

A GREAT movie!!!!

Ooh.. an excellent movie! I haven't seen that in forever.

Just watched "Big" starring Tom Hanks. I had never seen it but always heard it was a fun movie.. and it was!

I just saw TRUE GRIT. What a moving picture, especially the ending. Go see it.

Biutiful - I have mixed feelings about this, as it was a rather bleak and sad film. I think my main problem was the number of subplots. Javier Bardem was fantastic, though, and probably deserved the Oscar.

Nobody's Fool - A great film for a quiet, cold day. Paul Newman is so effortless and charming on camera.

^ Won't Bardem be eligible for next year's Oscar's? Although, this performance may be forgotten about by then.

I heard he was fantastic in this.

Rented Winter's Bone. Meth-head mayhem in Appalachia. What a f*cked up movie. I kept telling myself "it's just a movie, things like this don't actually happen." But then again, I fear...

He was nominated this year, so wouldn't be eligible next year. He is excellent in the film.

Winter's Bone.... I would like to say it's hyperbole, but.....

John Hawkes was so good in this.

So is this movie is worth renting? It's been on my short list 4 a couple of weeks. I almost rented it or I Am Love on demand last weekend, but alas settled on Love And Other Drugs.

Other than some gratuitous & totally un-neccessary nudie shots from Jake & Anne, that movie was just ok...a little snoozy in the middle.

Winter's Bone was great! I didn't expect to like it, but found myself quickly absorbed in the story.

Having lived in a slew of small Texas towns as a child, I think the depiction of 'hillbilly justice' was fairly accurate.

My boyfriend says about halfway through the movie.. "Boo, I'm really glad we don't live there." Me too, babe - me too!

Loved Biutiful! It was one of the most brutally honest movie experiences I have seen in some time. WOW. It did throw me off and affected me for hours afterwards though. Gut wrenching movie.

Great character study of humanity in the modern age.

He was. Everyone was great - terrifyingly so. The chick who played the hooker in My Name is Earl was exceptionally scary.

I think it is.

I have no desire to see Love & other Drugs. Seems to fluffy/pointless to me. Seems like you concur, so I won't bother.

I know, right? Made me thankful for my life, that's for sure.

Last night watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Working my way thru all my Potter DVDs before buying Deathly Hallows which I can't wait for

Good choice Brandon! I also have a lot of love for the cheesefest that is the 1993 version!

I re-watched Dial M For Murder last night. An uderrated and often forgotten Hitchcock move. Brilliant! Grave Kelly was a terrible actress in everything but the 3 films she did with Hitchcock (3 out of only 11 movies) - they're all great.

Was that an error or did you mean to call her "Grave" Kelly because a corpse could probably act better than her?

Date Night was on HBO the other day & we have 3 months free, so...

It was funnier than I thought it would be.
