I just got back from Flyboys. It took a while to get going but it was enjoyable. The action scenes were really well done as was the acting. It was a bit predictable, but still an enjoyable show. But the best part, during the credits one of the actors was named "Lex Shrapnell"...I am now going to name my dog that.

2001, the only film that starts with 45 minutes of "Ooook !" and ends in an LSD trip...

We've seen loads of movies lately, Thank Your for Smoking was fun, My Super ex-girlfriend was silly but funny, The Devil wears Prada was quite good too, not as lame as I thought it would be... Oliver Stone's World Trade Center was... Ouch. I thought I was ready to watch something like that. I'm not. Even hubby had tears running down his cheeks almost all the way through... :(

My sister-in-law,her daughter, and I saw Night at the Museum. I loved it. It is the second year we have gone to the movies on Christmas day,just the three of us. If we don't watch out it will become a tradition.

The movie was just what I needed, fun with few jarring notes. I actually liked this Ben Stilller character, usually I want to knock him a good one at least a half dozen times. A six inch tall Owen Wilson was about the right amount, and Robin Williams gave just the proper amount of enthusiasm to play the mannequin of Teddy Roosevelt. Add Huns and monkeys and the T-rex and the three "bad guys" and it was just fine . I got the feeling that everyone at the theater wished it had been a little longer.

I Just watched this short film on Youtube and thought it was quite cool, I particularly like the last line:

YouTube - Black Button - Short Film

Very clever but I found it a bit obvious what was gonna happen.

Well yeah, it's not meant to be a mind-blowing plot. He's either going to push the button or he isn't, but the last line does it for me.

I just saw the Transformers movie, all in all pretty good. The plot was nothing great but niether was the plot of the cartoon, and besides the film was about eye candy.

My only critism of the film is that often there is alot going on screne, something I think was due to scale issues involved in having fast moving 30 metre tall characters.

Not exactly a film, but I also saw the FlCl (Fooly Cooly) OVA on the weekend, probably the best and most original anime I have seen in many years.

I've been sick for a week and I've done NOTHING except watch films and downloaded tv stuff.I saw 1408,it was a nice suprise liking that.Saw Hogfather for the first time(late bloomer),liked that a lot.
(of tv stuff-a lot of Grey's Anatomy and Law and Order:SVU,lovely. An animated series called Drawn Together,very wacky stuff)

We have seen quite a lot of films lately, the latest Tarantino, Deathproof was... well... if you like Tarantino, you will love it, if you don't like his stuff, don't bother. I personnally loved it, it's the kind of film that makes you want more. NOW.

Shrek 3 wasn't bad, not the best of 3, but still, not bad for a threequel...

We saw an animated film called Persepolis, I'm not sure it's been released anywhere else (yet), about a young girl growing up in Iran during the islamic revolution... Not bad, some funny bits, some tougher bits, but it is a life's story, and that sounds pretty much like life to me...

Shrek 3 was good for a threequel.
I just saw Pirates 3 and that was good too but I still like the 1st one the best. I was told some things were over the top in #3 and the ending made it seem like there could be another movie even though this is only a trilogy. I didn't think too much was over the top and the ending was better than some I've seen but I suppose it could be open to a 4th movie.
Knocked Up was funny except there are things in the delivery room that it wasn't really necessary to see.
I rarely watch scary movies but I watched The Messengers the other day with some friends and it wasn't too bad and it was fun watching my friends jump.

I finally saw The Sixth Sense the other day. Maybe I read too many ghost stories as a kid, but the plot twist seemed very obvious to me. It was still an excellent film though.

I watched At World's End recently myself, and I too like Curse of the Black Pearl better than the others. I'm not saying the other two movies weren't good, but the first was still better in my opinion.

And yes, the ending could be taken as an opener for yet another movie. Though, in truth, I think it looks more like a "full circle" kind of thing.

Last film I saw at the cinema was Hot Fuzz. Awesome. Completely mad. Loved it.

Wild Hogs was pretty funny too.

I saw Transformers at the weekend. I think it would have been better if I was 8. Good effects though.

Saw Order of the Pheonix - better than the book, with a lot of the guff cut out. The final battle was impressive. Luna and Professor Umbridge were great, and Helena Bonham-Carter was patently having a whale of a time. Not enough Alan Rickman, though - his expression when his lesson was being inspected was priceless!
