Went to see Black Swan, not sure if I liked it or not.:blink:

THOR
*squeal* this could have possibly been posted in the guilty pleasures thread *b |
We saw When in Rome, The Expendables, and Tangled and we have Shrek 4 lined up and ready to go probably tomorrow. Tangled was excellent, if not a bit predictable, When in Rome was sweet, and The Expendables was like a dirty, gritty, low(er) budget Reds (not bad, just darker).

Three-and-a-half stars
So, about five years after reading Steve Martin's Shopgirl, I got around to the film version.
I really enjoyed the novella--what's not to love about Martin, anyhow? But, I was scared, especially when I read several negative reviews, that the film would disappoint me. My verdict: yes, the novella is better, but the film does capture the overall sense of the literary piece. I think the novella wins because of its density--the source being the narrator's voice, which only seldom surfaces in the film. (Oh yeah, one of the criticisms was that Martin's narrative voice compromised his character's portrayal. I disagree; in fact more of those interjections--in a play, perhaps--would be advantageous). |
Shrek 4 was adorable, as expected!

We watched Easy A tonight. Fantastic! I loved nearly everything about this movie and thought some of the themes were very relevant to today's issues. It reminded me a tad of 10 Things I Hate About You, which I also loved.
|
We watched The Other Guys and Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
The Other Guys was okay. There were some really funny lines, but overall only mediocre. Scott Pilgrim, however, ROCKED. We loved it. (We being me and a 15 y/o boy, so take that for what it's worth.) It was cool the way it would cut back and forth between people and video gaming. I also love the guy that was Scott Pilgrim, he was the guy in Juno. And then his roommate was McCauley Caulkins little brother. So handsome, not at all like his brother. Oh and I saw The Tourist the other day. It was really good too. And Angelina Jolie looked better than I've seen her look since Tomb Raider. A |

We LOVED Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!!!! We saw it a while back and both of us enjoyed it quite a bit. I loved the graphic comic book styling and pretty much everything else too. *grin* |

This is the best time for movies. Late in the year, most of the Academy Award hopeful are released.:trampoline: |
I've heard that the King's Speech was a great movie!
|
We watched SALT and The Town last night. Both quite good and I was impressed with Affleck as a director.
Two on the upcoming must see list True Grit and Hereafter! |
I really wanna see Yogi Bear, The Tourist, Tangled
|
Coen brothers remake of a longtime favorite? Sounds like a score!
Going to see True Grit today. The original is one of my favorite movies, I even tried calling my mare Little Blackie. She ignored me.
|
Going to try again to see The King's Speech today. It was sold out Wednesday. Running off to get tix ahead of time.
Tomorrow, I'm hoping to see True Grit. |
I loved the new Shrek simply for the Fiona as an Amazon warrior woman. It held my interest. I also loved Collapse....a documentary on the teachings of Michael Ruppert who's view of the future of human civilization parallels my thinking. |
I recently watched "Happy Accidents" on Netflix.
A sweet and somewhat touching movie, starring Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio. A definite recommend! |
Christmas with the Cranks with Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. Well, we love both of them and JLC's character was spastically amusing, but I didn't love the movie. It was okay.
|
saw "The Fighter" and expected it to be ... hm, not sure, but it exceeded those non expectations. I love Mark Wahlberg in just about any movie (except maybe The Perfect Storm cuz I can only watch Clooney for about five minutes). But Christian Bale really stole the show, so did Melissa Leo playing their mom. They both out-starred Mark.
|
OMG! The King's Speech ... best film I've seen in a couple of years and I've seen quite a number. I can see nominations for best actor, supporting actor and actress, script, direction ... superb! Two thumbs and two big toes up!
True Grit was really good. Another possible best actor contender. Thanks Mr. Bent for reminding me ... otherwise, I'd be accused of a drive by post from my earlier comment :rofl: |
Thanks to waxnrope I want to see The King's Speech ASAP. Saw the new Narnia yesterday with Eshe. It didn't let me down. Ending was beautifully done. SOB
|
Saw "Inception" lately. Loved it! Now I need to rent it again so I can catch all the parts I missed the first time!

Today we saw The Kings Speech it was quite lovely.
I think this movie will be getting lots of awards. :king: |
Blue Valentine.
A tiny independent film with painfully raw performances by both lead actors. Gritty, real, charming. |

Triage with Colin Farrell. I don't usually like war/post traumatic stress movies but this one will tug at you. Joan Rivers - A Piece of Work - very interesting look at the person behind the persona. |
The Black Swan - LOVED IT. It was a great psycho drama. The Descent into Madness could be a secondary title.
|
"Inception" - I didnt care for it. Long, drawn out, convoluted. "Mother and Child" - Annette Benning - beautiful story, very touching. |
