Vertical Limit - With the exception of the IMAX movie Everest I can't think of a halfway decent mountaineering movie out there. This one's about as dumb as they come. Entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons (I was laughing quite often at all the cliches and melodramatics)

Field of Dreams. This movie just sucks....
I completely agree. OVERRATED! It doesn't come close to The Natural, imo.
Read W.P. Kinsella's novel Shoeless Joe and then watch Filed of Dreams....
No Country for Old Men - didn't really care for it, especially the "ending". Not sure why it got so much acclaim.
Kung Fu Panda - saw a second time. Pretty funny movie.

The Talented Mr. Ripley is on deck tonight; love the movie and soundtrack!
MJ, I remember seeing this when it came out, it was quite the odd movie.

With you on that one.
This had my vote for WMOTY!

Clearly you haven't seen Cliffhangar yet then...
Must have a short runway!

Agree on Vertical Limit, a sappy movie indeed. Try K2, for a significantly better mountaineering movie.

AGREED!

I did, but was ashamed to admit it until now
And as lame as that movie was I still think Vertical Limit is even more lame. At least Cliffhanger had a halfway decent lead actress (Janine Turner... not great but a better actor and better looking than Robin Tunney) and a good villain character (John Lithgow) in it.

Thanks for the recommendation, PT... I'll definitely check it out.

I thought Javier Bardem was perfect as the quiet yet viciously evil bad killer. I've seen him in several other movies and he plays a wide variety of characters equally well. He's a very talented actor.

Another fan. I've seen it 3 times now and have enjoyed it more each time.

Ditto. My MOTY in a VERY strong 2007 for films.

After speaking with D, I have a big, slightly embarassing, confession to make.
I have not seen "No Country for Old Men" yet!
It seems that I've confused this movie with "There Will be Blood"
My apologies...
Guess I need to rent this movie and see what the fuss is about.
both *COMPLETELY* overrated. pay no attention to this thread.

Yes you will. Pay no attention to TBird, he wanted Juno to win.
What was your impressions of There Will Be Blood?
Am I the only one who absolutely hated this movie?

nope! don't feel lonely! it was a MAJOR ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ fest.
and while "no country" is no snore fest, it certainly is for "old men".

I thought it was a very good, but not a great film.
Once I got past the anti-capitalist sub text and the slow pacing, I recognized a brilliant performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, and the extraordinary cinematography.

Good call, the imagery was the star of the film IMO. Plus some line about milkshakes or something. . .
He's just not that into you: * 1/2
A yawner of a rom-com made better because my wife and I have a good friend who looks EXACTLY like one of the stars, Ginnifer Goodwin. Weird.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Pretty much a by-the-numbers, unfunny comedy, with poor acting and even worse direction.
I'm surprised it didn't make billions.

Valkerie on DVD the other night. Good but not outstanding.

Unfortunetly, the only part where I laughed was when he checks his match dot com ad and sees he has "0" matches. Nothing funnier than a fat guy blubbering...
On the flight to Toronto:
Confessions of a Shopaholic. Eh. Thank goodness the plane had a captive audience.

The Hangover. F-ing hillarious!
I may be a bit late...but just saw Gran Torino. THis was one of the best movies I have seen in the past two years.
And Mall Cop is completely unwatchable.

Tropic Thunder Sophomoric humor and I LMAO.
The Wrestler last night- Rourke was a good fit for this role, but the story line was lacking.
Revolutionary Road. Very good, but dark film. I hate to admit it, but DiCaprio was pretty good...again. Kate Winslet...just another excellent performance. It didn't dawn on me until after the movie that Sam Mendes also made American Beauty. Safe to say he and Kate must not live in suburbia.

Nothing special, and Rourke was only playing himself.
