Am I the only one that loves Signs???

And Secret Window was good, I love Johnny, and yeah that movie, you can only watch it like 5 times lol, this coming from someone who has Seen Pirates of the Carribbean and Once Upon a Time in Mexico over 60 times heh. I really want to see The Village. I saw Shrek 2, that was cute, and King Arthur heh, I very much prefer the original myth, cause they ruined it SOOOOO much, and I cant stand Kiera Knightly ugh, anyway yeah lol

I haven't been able to see anything this summer unfortunately. I think this week my mom and I are going to see The Village. The big draw for me about Shymalan's films are the fact that they are all filmed locally. His film scout was checking out my dads property for scenes but Shymalan insisted upon being in PA. Having grown up around here my entire life, it's cool to see the area on the big screen. I thought Signs was terrible and Unbreakable was horrendous but I really loved The Sixth Sense. I hope this film will be decent and i'm looking forward to Ron Howard's daughters performance which is supposedly stellar.

I'd like to go and see Before Sunset, Garden State (i love Natalie Portman), We Don't Live Here Anymore and Bright Young Things. I have yet to see The Notebook but i'd like to see that as well.

Hayley, who's on the soundtrack??

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", twice...Once the night it was released (In an expensive AMC 24 theatre which had the worse seating I have ever seen) & the second time at the local theatre (Great seating & sound...Plus only $3.50!!!)

I want to see "Metallica-Some Kind Of Monster" but the only place it is playing in OKC is at the above mentioned AMC 24.

Garden State soundtrack

The Garden State soundtrack has Coldplay, Iron & Wine, a couple songs from the Shins, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. We've been told that the songs came right off Zach Braff's iPod (gag) and he was lucky that everyone allowed them. It's a nice compilation, actually.

I forgot about Before Sunset! I'm waiting for it to move out of the city and into the suburbs for me to see it. I used to love Before Sunrise. Re-watched it a little while ago.

Brian- $3.50 for a movie?!! Gosh. I pay $7.00 for a cheap student ticket. No wonder I've started to sneak into so many movies for free. Metallica's also on my list- I stopped being a fan long ago, but the concept fascinates me. And I love the guys who did the film- their documentaries about the WM3 were amazing.

How much do other people pay?

I think i'm going to have to check that out. Despite the fact that it came from his ipod, it really rocks. I love Zero 7 and you really can't go wrong with Coldplay and Nick Drake

the Carnegie theatre has only 1 price, $3.50...Unlike AMC 24 which was $8.50 and that price was for the 10:45PM showing on Harry Potter...

I loved both of the "Paradise Lost" movies...The second was interesting in showing that there is reasonable doubt in the WM3 case (Even Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam gave his financial support to the WM3), I still feel that whole trial was a "witch hunt".

I've sent $$ to Damien's legal fund, and I have a great silver bracelet they sell on the site as a fundraiser, too. Eddie Vedder's donated tons of money, and Henry Rollins has organized several fundraising concerts and tours, as well as a Black Flag tribute album where the proceeds go to the fund.

The second one was fascinating- in that they actually interviewed the freak show that I have no doubt actually committed the crimes. Their case is incredibly sad.

Anyhow, I support those filmmakers- I will certainly have to see the metallica film.

a few of the "official" Pearl Jam bootlegs which Eddie gives his support to the WM3...

I agree about the second "Paradise Lost" movie in which the "freak show" seemed rather disturbly bolden to me...Kinda ironic that his wife died "mysteriously" (I don't buy into that she overdosed and died in her sleep and he awoke the next morning to find her dead in their bed) and he is now incarcerated for multiple 'petty' crimes, For someone who is supposedly "close to the Lord" as he had stated, I find that to be further from the truth.

Matter-of-fact, I saw a morning news show awhile back where people who served time with the "freak show" in the Arkansas penal system said he openly admitted he killed those kids. He supposedly killed them because he caught his step-son & the other 2 boys masturbating together and went berserk in a psychotic rage, Thus murdering/mutalating the three in his house then later removing the bodies to the creek where the bodies were found.

He was stated as saying to these other prisoners since Damien, Jesse & the other kid (His name escapes me) are "already guilty in the eyes of the public why should I admit to it?"...Man, isnt that 'Christian like'? (No offense to my Christian friends who post here...I just think the man is the epitome of being a hypocrite)

Hopefully the TRUTH will come out and the WM3 will be freed.

Ron Howard's daughter is replacing Nicole Kidman in the last two movies in the Dogville trilogy. She looks like a good actress, so I'm looking forward to it.

And Before Sunset RAWKED, how could I forget to mention it?! If you liked the first one, you will LOVE the new one. It's fantastic.

I've really dug Spider-Man, Bourne Supremacy, and the Door in the Floor... but I think I've SEEN everything else!

I don't think there really are any contenders out there. I can't recall the title, but there was a flick about global warning and it's affect. The most interesting thing was the survival method. If you're in NYC and there's a freeze on, GO TO THE LIBRARY.

You can burn all the books and survive.

I'll be going to see Catwoman because it's there. Halle Berry, Sharon Stone- should be heavy on the feline fluff.
