I saw House of Mirth last night. I didn't think Gillian Anderson particularly suited to the role. But the movie did make me want to read the book. So, this one's next on my book list. :)
7.5/10... given the benefit of doubt since I am yet to read the original.
Flightplan-8/10
Edward Scissorhands.6/10
I watched Surviving Christmas and liked it a lot! It deserves 10/10. Bang Bang!
I had heard bad things about it. I never saw it because I really got a kick out of the book, Skipping Christmas by John Grisham.Quote:

9/10
Oh, I found nothing in it which I will call "bad" really. It is quite good, actually. :DQuote:

I really loved this movie. But then again, I like all of M. Night Shymallan's movies...they give something to people that they are not expecting. There is only one thing I would have added to the movie...but for those who have not seen it, I will not spoil it.
shes the man..and utter abysmal failure of a production..there were some good parts but most of it was horrible
2/10
Corpse Bride-4/10
I liked the plot and the "real" music (the piano stuff)...but they could've done without the singing, and various other things.
I am dying to see that....theatres are a rarity for me, though, so it will be a while. The fantasy and mythical aspects of it appeal so much to me....I've always wished I was a dryad or a water nymph :nod: Anyway, I am glad someone liked it because, contrary to my expectations, reviews haven't been very favorable so far.Quote:

Than I had a few drinks and decided not to watch, I wouldn't be able to pay attention, but I tried anyways, and I think, that's exactly how it should be watched. In fact at about 3:30 am when the movie finished, I cracked one more and started the movie over again.
Simply amazing, near perfect acting by the two leads. Extremely funny scenes, very well put together. I've never read the book so I cannot compare. As a standalone movie though, it was fantastic.
9.5/10
The book's even better.
United 93 5/10 pointless film, just Hollywood milking the cow for all it's worth.
Hey Vintage - I always tend to fall in love with the movies that get bad reviews.
Ushpizin -- totally character film, no shoot-em-up car chases. Endearing and memorable. It fully earned the awards it has accumulated.
But it's on the quiet, sensitive side so if you need action every three minutes, forget about it.
The Benchwarmers--So bad as to be unratable; don't waste your money unless you are a fan of mindless stupidity, bad jokes, and rambling, incomprehensible plotlines. A totally unbelievable script.
One of THE WORST movies I have ever seen.
Pirates of the carribean (err 2) actually thats not true I just watched herbie fully loaded with my yougest sisters but that doesnt count does it??
Great film my only objection is that it isnt a stand alone its so obvioiiusly got to have a follow up that its a bit annoying other than that great.
Does anyone esle feel we are begining to get immune to the graphics? Im sure at times I could almost see the green screen it was like watching those old films with the painted background??
:D
I watched a couple of movies.
One Fine Day.4/10
Leroy and stitch .3/10
I watched Omkara. The story is based on Othello, and I liked it very much.
9/10
I watched CryWolf and liked it. The hero was good-looking but not really a very good actor. But I loved the ending, it was shocking so I will give it 7/10.
Bubba Ho-Tep. Talk about original! An old guy in a retirement home who may or may not be Elvis teams up with a black JFK to fight a mummy that is stealing souls. Very funny, and very poignant. 9/10.
I watched Woody Allen's "Scoop". It was pretty funny although I liked "Matchpoint" much more
Yesterday, I watched The Cider House Rules. Without any doubt, it was a wonderful movie. It deserves 10/10!
V for Vendetta 8/10 Watch out, it could happen! :nod:
:lol: When I saw the previews for this movie, I thought they were remaking 1984 again! Come on, it had the look, it had the guy on the tv screen, it had a very partyesque look in some of the political scenes, than it showed V and just sorta went what the hell?Quote:

On an airplane....
Nanny McPhee 6/10
I liked it but I absolutely hated Mrs. Quickly. They could have made her less ridiculous...
Glory Road 9/10
Great movie!!
Failure to Launch 7/10
funny buit I think they should've left some things out
Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties... not a big fan of the movies Garfield... I'd give it a 5/10 *shrug*
I've just seen Young Frankenstein and didn't like it... it was boring and it left me so sleepy...argh... mmm 6/10 just to give it bare decency...
The Praire home companion - 8/10 Oh, I loved it so much! Garrison keilor playing the main part of himself?! All the songs were great, and two hours slipped away. It's about the last show of the praire home companion raido broadcast. WONDERFUL! if only they hadn't cast LINDSAY LOHAN as the daughter and later business women, which she could not pull off under any circumstances! 1- and then they also introduced an angel?! who didn't play very well either... 1-
BUT when you look aside from that, it's already one of my favourite films!
oh gosh...i've just watched the second Bridget Jones movie and I think it SUCKS!!! It even depressed me... 3/10 and just because I'm generous and because I like to look at Hugh Grant (mmm) :mad:
"My Super Ex-Girlfriend"
Oh dear...
Well, there were parts of it that were quite funny, but then there were times when the humor was so disgusting - particularly with Rainn Wilson's character - that it reminded me of the middle-school days when every word spoken by anyone became the object of some knowledgeable, developing adolescent's idea of a sexual innuendo. Other parts were simply stupid; not silly-but-funny, like, say, "Zoolander", but outright stupid. The writers seem to have structured the audience's sympathy with Luke Wilson around the assumption that the audience would be composed entirely of horny, potty-mouthed men who will forgive anything provided they can fantasize the while about Uma Thurman taking THEM on a certain sort of "ride" over the New York City skyline. I am as devout a worshiper of Miss Thurman as one can be, but she seems to end up in some silly films sometimes (not taking into account the "Kill Bill" movies, neither of which have I seen in its entirety).
5/10
I re-watched Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and I liked it a lot this time! I will give it 8/10.
Last night, after much persistence from my older brother, we watched Team America, a marionette film by the same creators of South Park (Trey Parker and Matt Stone). Ugh, well . . . the puppeteers obviously had some talent, and the film had a very interesting plot in some parts, having to admit its hilarity, of course, but it seemed much like South Park: so ridiculous and disgusting (in some parts) that one must laugh. Obviously Trey Parker and Matt Stone have immense talent in their genre of film-making, yet it may not seem like my exact taste in films; regardless, the film really got me laughing in several parts.
My rating: 6/10.
I've seen it and didn't like it all. It was way too vulgar although I admit that there were some places where I was laughingQuote:

Last night I watched Made in America on tv, and it was actually pretty good. It addressed some serious topics like discrimination and the fear of terrorism in America and made me laugh. It was a 7.
the descent 4/10.
does not live up to the hype.
I saw Benchwarmers the other day. It was funny...but I think it could have been a bit better.
8/10
Come to think of it, I have seen a lot of movies lately.
Valdez is Coming, with Burt Lancaster -- spagetti Western, exceedingly well done.
