My wife and I watched this movie
we had intended for our 6 year old daughter to watch it with us, we're glad she didn't. There's very little inclusion of the fantastic fantasy realm the trailers lure you with.
WARNING : this is not a good movie for young kids
it is very slow to get going
and just as it starts to get engaging, it crushes you with sadness
my wife was so upset she almost thre the remote at my TV
My Suggestion : :shake:
I wish I had read some reviews first before I watched this
It had promise, but it ended up being a HUGE disappointment
this movie would have scarred my child for years
look at these reviews on Amazon
I searched the lowest rating first reviews and mostly agreed
a good conclusion is the reveiw titled "Things I learned From This Movie"

Recommendation : :yes: :ha:
watched this on Blu-Ray a few days ago
watched it twice
loved the pace
loved the little quirks
did not like his ringtone
Dwight Yoakham was great
Jason Statham was great
editing was great
concept was great
it was a little over-the-top at times, but that may be one of it's strengths as opposed to one of its faults

The Fountain
My Recommendation :
:eh?: :thumb:
when watched : a month ago
this movie reminded me of Memento in ways
Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz play varied / mutliple roles and they both played them well
It was weird at times
Spectacular at others
and every once in awhile it just loses you
but, this movie is Art
it' not for everyone, but if you like a little esoteric substance in your entertainment ,then you'd probably get into

Good thread idea, and just what I need since I just started the Blockbuster Total Access dealie. Taribithia is on my list....I think I'll still give it a go anyway. Gotta cure my curiosity I guess.
Here's a few I've rented lately.
Night at the Museum = good
I guess I'd call this movie "cute". It's a good for all ages comedy. I thought the idea behind the movie was neat, and they pulled it off pretty well. Maybe not something I'd buy on dvd, but a good one night stand.
Hannibal Rising = very good
I didn't think the movie about the story of Hannibal Lecture would be like this. Different than I thought, and better than I'd guessed it'd be....and of course, disturbing. If you liked Silence of the Lambs, I think you'll find this one a winner.
Ghost Rider = so so
I like Nic Cage and Sam Elliot, and even though I didn't know much of Ghost Rider, I thought it could be a good story. Well, it was a bit of a let down, though this type of movie often can be. Some of the characters and/or acting just sucked, and lots of the action did too. Some of the story was just lame. Maybe worth one watch if you're bored and there's nothing else on.

great movie :yes:
my 4th favorite all time......
its confusing so pay attention tho...
When watched : Just finished it
My Recommendation : :scared: :eh?: :doh:
well ....... it has some pretty cool moments .... but apparently, it's nothing really new by horror film standards.
I don't really watch alot of horror films, because I find them a bit cheesy
and this one isn't all that much different
I found it a bit predictable ,especially scriptwise, which at times was pretty darn lousy
we loved the first half, but by the second half I was almost calling the shots before they happened
if your horror tastes lie with Saw and the Grudge or the Ring, then this might not do much for you .... if you rarely view horror flicks, then you might enjoy it ...while it lasts
I like the Pang Brothers approach to film making
they have a flair for visual composition
this could have been a much better film, if noone spoke
FINAL WORD : I didn't find it as bad as Rotten Tomatoes thought

i did a search .... didn't see it
there was a "what summer movie you wanna see" thread
and this is not that
but thanks for trying to derail it before it even starts
how bout posting a movie ?
Eternal Sunshine
thanks .....
haven't seen it
(actually hadn't heard of it)
lots of fanfare
lots of people saying it's their favorite or in top 5 of all time
if that's the case, shouldn't i have heard of it ?
it's "widest release" was a mere 1300 screens ... maybe that's why
I'll look into it

everyone on this site is, i dont even know the right word for it, i would say "jerk" but people will probably make another mean comment or something. :suspect:
as far as the movies go, these are the only other 3 you need to worry about....
PIRATES 2, NOT 1 or 3, 2!!!!!
all of them ^^

Those three are pretty good movies, but they wouldn't exactly be my three choices if I was told I could only choose three movies for the rest of my life.
