My wife and I enjoyed this movie very much. Alfred Molina was great.

I thought this was a great movie. I really enjoyed it as well. Superb acting, I thought and very well cast, with excellant lighting and cinematography. Excellant.

That is a strange and depressing movie. I was entertained though….

Tonight, one of my three favorite movies of the year (although I think they all actually came out last year):

Children of Men

The other two: Pan's Labyrinth, Juno

Totally agree on CoM and PL. My two favorite movies of late '06 (though in reverse order).

Classic flick. If you haven't had a chance to see it, the Little 500 still runs each Spring in Bloomington, IN, and is a lot of fun to watch. During a workday a few years ago, I met the guy who was the inspiration for the BA lead character, Dave Stoller. Nice guy, teaches high school biology if I remember correctly.

I just came back from seeing the new Bond flick. I found it very entertaining and kept my attention glued to the screen throughout the movie. It opened up a little Bourne'esq, but I'm not one of the purists who takes issue with such things. Overall a very enjoyable movie with enough of the classic 007 elements and characters to know it was a Bond movie.

Talk to Me.

going to watch American Gangster on the plane. should be good.

King of Kong - A Fistful of Quarters

If you ever spent any time in an arcade as a teenager, you MUST watch this movie. Hilarious!

The Deer Hunter.

OK, based on your recent viewing history, I'm going to predict either The French Connection or Dog Day Afternoon will be next for you.

Chinatown....but I like your choices.

Nighthawks

Very good movie. I like the way the guys smoke all over the place -- ahh, the good old days.

I saw Australia yesterday at the theater. FANTASTIC! It's 2.5 hours long, but well worth sitting through. It has the same feel as Titanic, but with a western theme.

Well that sure makes me want to go see it!!!!

DVD,
I assume you are referring to the romantic girlie nature of the flick. No doubt Titanic was a bit sappy, but it was a movie designed for the big screen of the theater and was well worth the price of admission when it came out. It's that same grand scale of the set and panoramic views that draw you in and hold your attention in this movie.

Just giving you a bad time, snipes....

DVD,
I know you were. I almost felt like someone was going to ask me to turn in my man card for talking up Titanic.

Snipes, tell us that your wife or gf made you go see it.

Call me crazy, but I have just never been a fan of three men together.

...not that there is anything wrong with that.

Does Broadway shows count? - Hairspray with Harvey Fierstein ...

Yep, it's not for everyone. But I definitely liked it better than you did. My wife loves it, I think parts are very well done (I want you, and Come Together), but parts are just sad (Bono's segment), IMO.

Apocalypse Now.

Getting in the Christmas mood.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Will Smith was in town last week to promote his new movie so I'll check out Seven Pounds tommorow at a matinee before the Vikings Falcons game at 3:15 pm.
