MOVIES: What are you watching?

I wouldn't be surprised if that's Clint's last starring role. Since he's been a star, I don't remember him ever being killed.

The Bridges of Madison County, Honky Tonk Man and The Beguiled.

Maybe in Escape from Alcatraz and High Plains Drifter.

I don't think I've seen any of those movies for more than a few minutes. The Bridges of Madison County had me gagging after a few minutes. Thanks for the info.

Take him to Toy Story 3.

Disney Pixar... This studio, especially recently, has become, age-aside, the most reliable, best studio out there for all ages.

Wall-e
Ratatouille
Up

Just before those, The Incredibles

I haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet, but I will at some point.

The only thing that saddens me about Pixar's success is that it seems to have ended Disney's 2D musical program. I grew up on Disney classics and just as I turned 10, [i]The Little Mermaid[i] came out -- still one of my favorite movies of all time. It would be nice to see Disney not abandon this style of movie making.

Did you miss [I]The Princess and the Frog?

The Book of Eli

Mad Max finds God. Pass

Watched about two-thirds of Brothers before the disc started to skip and we couldn't finish. Blockbuster seems to have these problems - they are sending me a new one so I'll finish it this week when it arrives. I thought it was OK so far.

Alice in Wonderland.

A visual treat, but not much else.

Agreed. Although Mila Kunis helped me get through it!

I just rented this despite not hearing anything good about it. We will see.

Watched part of Green Zone last night, will finish this morning. Seems good so far.

Up in the Air

Had some free Cinemax last night. Alien Sex Files 3: She Alien. One of the better movies I have seen in a long time.

8 Women.

What did you think?

I liked it. Not as good as the book, but pretty faithful.

Will there be another sequel?

The girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The girl who played with Fire
The girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest
Memories of Murder
The illusionist
Braveheart
Species
Ip Man

The last 3 on the list are re-watches. The girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the best within the trilogy, also the original Swedish title translates to "men who hate women" made more sense in the context, but I guess that won't sell in Hollywood. The 2nd is good, more action less story. The 3rd is a slight let down after the first 2.

Just installed my first blu-ray player the other night that I bought at Costco, so I also bought my first blu-ray disc. Wanted something that I didn't already have, so I settled on Never Say Never Again, the "unofficial" James Bond flick. Connery was 53 when he made that, and still looked great.

Uh, Kim Basinger looked great - Sean Connery not so much

Wasn't that basically a remake of Thunderball?

i would like to watch toy story 3 but nolan wont let me until we revisit toy story 1 and 2.

Well, yeah, in comparison...

Yes.

Today:

Winter's Bone
I Am Love.

Shutter Island - Awesome.

The Best of Youth

I was talking with friends last night, and the first half of 2010 has released a few excellent movies.

I'm hoping the second half of the year is as kind.

Ghost Writer
The Secret in Their Eyes
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Chloe
Winter's Bone
I Am Love

I finally finished watching Brothers last night. My wife and I both said we enjoyed this movie a lot more than we thought we would.

We plan on going to the theater to see something this weekend, and have to decide what we both are interested in.

When Summer finally arrives up here, the last place I want to be is in a movie theater.

Girl by the Lake.

Hard to stay focused on the movie with Northern Italy in the background.

Bruno - so strange and bizarre, yet I found myself laughing a decent amount.

Midnight Cowboy.

Cyrus. Enjoyed this quite a bit - good job by the actors and a neat storyline that was funny.

And....Marisa Tomei looks fantastic.

The Godfather 2
