Movies out Now!

[Canadian Jayne]

I want to go see a movie and I'm not sure what I want to see
I went yesterday and couldn't decide..
I'll go out tonight and see what may be available
but there
really isn't much being said about the movies that are out now,
anyone see anything they liked lately?
I'm thinking about seeing Morning Glory

The last movie I went to see was Due Date. Pretty good actually, but I wouldn't say the best.
That movie Unstoppable with Denzel Washingtion and Chris Pine looks pretty good. I can't wait to see that one!

Is it just me or is the quality of movies a bit dodgy these days??.......It seems the studios are intent on knocking out either kids films or scream fests......there are some decent movies of course but they seem to be few and far between these days.......

I've noticed that when I watch movies now. It seems that so much has been kept out. When I watched Alice in Wonderland there was so much left out or there was just some missing pieces. Not giving Tim Burton a bad rap, he's a good director and writer, but it just seemed that way.

I've notice also a lot of content being removed from movies to make characters more complexed.
Even remakes have taken a slight drop, i.e. Nightmare on Elm Street, Paranormal Activity 2, just to name a couple.

Idk...maybe film distributors and makers are making it that way so that viewers and fans can watch more of other films by specific actors or screenwriters.

I totally agree with both of you! No one is coming with new or exciting material anymore.
Most actors now and days are only in it for the money. :/

i don't think it's down to the actors, they want to do credible and talented performances.......it's the studios who are only interested in $ .....the writing is suspect too......I'm thinking of the Hangover which did quite well off the back off a really suspect script and ropey casting....i found it cliched and naff .......
That's one reason i like Jim's films so much. His roles are more innovative and exciting.......i think a lot of so called comedies are formulaic and cheesy........

it's certainly looking as if 3D is gonna be the future for sure........

When I saw the title I thought (boring)
but when I saw the reviews and the Oscars
I thought "ya, maybe it's worth seeing"

Really enjoyed it, mostly seniors in the theatre
and there was one part I wasn't too comfortable with
(the swearing) but I do think it was necessary for telling the story.
All in all I did enjoy it.

It was an eye opener to the reality of being thrown
into something not wanted or expected
Life's life that, we often don't achieve what we
originally set out to do,
but really
maybe what we set ourselves out
to do,
isn't what we are suppose to do.

As I typed in "Everything is beautiful"
I wondered if a woman ever sang it
then it took me to a different song

one that is being used in
"Letters to God" a new movie

The last movie I saw (since I last posted) was Harry Potter 7 and I'll tell you that movie is VERY dark. It almost seems like it's not intended for children. But J.K Rolling said that the books were suppose to not be all for the kids. I love her writing! The movie was good too but it just seem so short (and I know 2 and a half hours is a long time but when a story is so descriptive and has a lot going in it, it's never long enough, lol)

I heard that The Roommate is pretty funny and I want to see that new Sir Anthony Hopkins movie where he's a priest that exhibits physical symptoms of an apparent poltergist/posession. I think that would be a good flick to see.

the Kings speech.......a lovely wee film It's gonna sweep the Oscars.....

[mysticwryter]

That sounds like a good movie Fluffy.

I hope that Colin Firth gets a nod for the oscars!!

[fluffy]

it's a gentle film.......(.no sex or violence) but you really feel for Bertie......

saw 127 hours too but it was overdone IMHO......instead of really feeling for the main character, after about an hour i was getting desperate for him to just chew his bloody arm off..........lol....

[Canadian Jayne]

Agreed re Colin Firth

[fluffy]

he deserves it......... ......lol......
.*dreaming of Colin in riding boots, breeches and a soaking wet shirt*..........lol...
