What is the last movie you saw? and rate it.

I watched the movie "The Notebook", with my HoneyBunny, Suziemb (a member here). I kept threatening to fall asleep to Suzie, but the movie kept me involved. It was special. Suzie kept saying I was like the man, and I kept saying, "Suzie you are like that woman!" It was a beautiful movie about how one person could not stop loving another even though she was fated to forget about him. I read the book, by Nicholas Sparks, (I think), and it was great, but the movie brought it home just a little easier for me. It doesn't hurt when the stars are so pretty. Besides that, Suzie was picking on me all night, and when I tried to leave she made her dog, Maggie, my other girlfriend, sit on me. Those two are a bunch of troublemakers...maybe thats why I'm so sweet on them. Cheers, B

I never watched that movie, though I always planned to. I liked Sparks' other novel A Walk To Remember, and I liked the movie too. Maybe after this review, I'll finally go get the movie and watch it :D

Really it's just like Pride and Prejudice only set in a galaxy far far away and has robots.:lol:

If you do decide to try them, start with the older ones first, the newer ones were a bit of a disappointment...at least for me. I often wonder if the older ones really were better or if it's just that I was 10 when I saw the first Star Wars and was easily impressed and since then, it's just been an issue of nostalgia but they seemed to have more heart and of course, they had Harrison Ford! :D

Perfume: The Story of a Murder is on TV tonight. I'll catch it and tell ya what I thought of it :D

B-Mental, sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this movie. I would never waste my time to watch it again. My mother and I watched it together and we thought it was so sugary and so unreal in parts. Then we also read the book and that put us over the top. It truly did get annoying when Sparks had to keep repeating some of the same lines - the really gushy ones - I got his point the first time. Don't get me wrong, because I can be very sentimental at times and very much a romantic myself; but I also can see when things are over-dramatized, or overly sentimental. I think actually, the idea behind the film was quite good, but something major was missing in the film and the also, the novel. My mother and I both agreed the book was the last Sparks book we would ever read. Now to each his own, my aunt happens to love Sparks and read a bunch of his books. Glad you enjoyed the movie, B-Mental, and it is always fun to watch movies with friends.

Antiquarian - never saw a "Star Wars" film? That is unbelievable. I am not a big fantasy fan either, but I did enjoy those films. Of course my son had me take him to all three of the originals when they first came out. This was his era and he had all the Star War toys as well, now major collectables. These SW films were such fun and yes, right - they have Harrison Ford in them - so just think of them as "Indiana Jones" films, set in space or as papayahed also said "Pride and Prejudice only set in a galaxy far far away and has robots." The two robots featured are hilarious; one has a British accent. The films are a total amusement ride (very entertaining and charming) with serious plotlines thrown in. But the real fun is the adventure. As Idril pointed out get the older films - they far surpass the newer versions in my opinion. It is a great trilogy; such fun!

hmmm...brace yourself...this movie was a little too stark for me....but you might like it, Nossa.

Three Colours Trilogy: White 5/5 very good movie I want see it again ( I am going to see Red)

The Bourne Identity 10/10. Matt Damon is very good looking...

I've been away for too long again...

Actually Antiquarian, I've never seen a Star Wars movie either, and I have no desire to see them either. Never seen an Indiana Jones film either...weird.

I saw Sin City the other night. It was nothing like what I would have expected, but I liked it. I really don't mind gore, and I loved the effects, especially when there was a random flash of colour (the rest of it is b&w/comic book-esque). I also thought the intertwining stories were interesting too. Not usually something I would watch but I ended up staying up till 3 to finish it lol.

I watched the movie. I actually liked it. I like the acting of the guy who did the role of Jean Baptiste, I actually felt bad for him by the end of the movie, esp. when the narrator said that even with all the perfume he had, which would have made the world kneel before him, it could never have made him someone who would love and be loved like normal people. But I do agree that the movie is a bit stark, it was a bit...straightforward in some scenes, but I think overall the direction wasn't all too bad. I wouldn't wanna watch it again though...lol. I might read the story, I believe that a story like this is better off as a literary work.

Ooh, I also saw Blades of Glory. There's only one word for that: Fantastic.

Lars von Trier's Dogville 3.5/4.0. Nice concept but it drags most of the time. And why are the characters always whispering? Great acting from Nicole Kidman though.

bump! bump!

Martian child, I really enjoyed it... I want to read the book now.
But the true stroke of genius was the casting, having john and joan cusak playing siblings was perfect becasue they are so obviously siblings, I hadnt noticed it before but they pull the same faces and there ears and noses are the same, and because I suppose there is the grain of truth in it it maes the whole film seem more belivable.
