If you liked that one. A&E put out 8 movies based on the character of Horatio Hornblower. They can be watched on youtube, but your local library may also have them. They are fairly close to the books by C.S. Forester.

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
I just watched Shark Night. I would have to give it 6/10. For the genera it was pretty well made, and it amused me immensely. If you don't like shark movies and b quality movies, then give it a pass. I personally love that kind of thing so I was pleasantly surprised with this one.
I just saw The Artist. I saw it with a friend, we both really liked it. It was different for me to see a silent movie, it was very very well done. I give it a 9, as it really was flawless.
My boy and I were watching X-men First class and I can't help it I just love it. I saw it before and just wanted to see it with him. I think it is one of the best x-men movies.
And Fassbender is extremely hot, so that is enough to want to watch it again.
We are gonna watch Iron Man tonight, I have seen it a few times but the boy hasn't.

Ip Man. I give it a 9 out of 10. Was very amusing, and startling at the same time.

"Moneyball" -- 8/10 for me, but I'm also a big fan of baseball.
I saw Master and Commander when it was in theaters. I fell asleep. One of the most boring movies I've ever seen.
First Class is my favorite of the X-Men movies, too, with X2 coming in a really close second.
I agree X-2 was really good but X-3 was awful!!! and then Wolverine was just OK I think, but I have high hopes for the second Wolverine movie.
My boy loved Iron Man, I like parts of it but I don't know there is something about it that bugs me, it's better than Iron man 2 though, way better.

I saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy last night, and I found it very confusing and somewhat boring. So I gave up and got mad instead. And I love Gary Oldman, but I should have known it would be confusing, as I had not read the books. My husband loves those stories, so he ofcourse knew what was going on and he has a fantastic memory for names and details. I was befuddled. I can't rate it fairly, the acting was very good, and I guess Oldman was good at portraying a dull person.
"J Edgar" -- found it boring. Already knew a bit about the guy and I guess the acting was good, but it was dull for me. 5/10
Spoiler Alert
I can't find my copy of the book, but I seem to remember that while Kitty did indeed change after they arrived in China, becoming less shallow and vain, she did not love Walter, although she did respect him and what he was doing. This was born out in how she chose to live her life when she returned to England (after meeting Charles Townsend one more time) by caring for her father and son in a caring and loving manner.
But the movie version has Walter Fane and Kittly fall in love. It's a sweeter, more bittersweet ending (and a bit more traditional, too). I didn't dislike it, it was just different.

I saw the new Three Musketeers movie. I'll give it a 4, or maybe a 5 out of 10. I think that the movie with Charlie Sheen and Tim Curry was far, far superior. This was just dismal.

I enjoyed watching The Descendants. 8/10
This is a scene from '7 Days in May, directed by John Frankenheimer and that I watched last night. It deals with a plot by the military to take over of the US and, while the film has it's faults, this scene between the president and the leader of the coup is absolutely riveting.
Nobody can act like this now but just watch Burt Lancaster and Frederic March to see what we have lost.
