dahlia Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 So I watched 'Lincoln' night before last. It was all right, but I'm not sure it was great. I certainly got an idea of what a witch Mary T was to live with, however. : ) Quote
Magus Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 Last movie I watched was Resident Evil: Extinction. Thanks to Netflix. I'm going to watch Resident Evil: Afterlife, probably tonight. Kinda dumb movies, but I like Milla Jovovich and I'm a fan of watching her kick butt. I'm actually glad they are making a 6th movie with her in it. Also, I take the "no R rated movies" thing in about the same way I take the "no caffeine" thing. As in, I watch R rated movies judiciously and with some degree of desensitization already. I try to weigh cost vs. benefit beforehand. Gore normally doesn't get to me...and I hear profanity every day due to my job and also just dealing with life, so I'm pretty desensitized to it already...the biggest factor for whether or not I see a film is usually if there's a lot of gratuitous nudity in it or something.

mirkwood Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I watched about half of True Grit with Jeff Bridges. I am really enjoying it so far and anticipate I will like the rest when I finish watching. Quote
mordorbund Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I've been feeling nostalgic so this weekend I watched some of the really hold movies I used to watch with my grandpa, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Trouble with Angels, The Quiet Man, McLintock, and Operation Petticoat. I love those old films.The Quiet Man and McLintock are perfect grandpa films! Are we related?If my dad had his way, we'd watch every Halloween. Quote
selek Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 The Quiet Man and McLintock are perfect grandpa films! Are we related? Must be. When's the family reunion? I'll bring pie.If my dad had his way, we'd watch every Halloween. Why not? It's been thirty years and I still get creepy chills hearing the Banshee*... Quote
dahlia Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Trouble with AngelsI love 'The Trouble with Angels.' It is very much like my experience in prep school around the same time in the 60's - a BA mother superior, wool suits in winter and seersucker skirts in summer. We wore white bobby socks and saddle shoes. Of course, these were way out of style when I was in school, which was why we they were required - to ugly us up. At the time, 'proper' girls wore traveling suits and I had white gloves. Even our gym clothes were not too far different from those in the movie.My school was in a big old building with nooks and crannies and the nuns living up stairs. At one point, it took some boarding students as well. We had a few acres in DC (since sold to American Univ) and were an oasis in a mad world. We had the pretty nuns, the cool ones, and the ones who probably should never have been around teenagers. We weren't bad girls, but my friends and I certainly could identify with Mary and Rachel. I love that darn movie! Quote
wyarwehere Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Rent. My absolute favorite musical. I could honestly watch this one every day without getting sick of it(I've probably seen it at least forty to fifty times. Quote
pam Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Rent. My absolute favorite musical. I could honestly watch this one every day without getting sick of it(I've probably seen it at least forty to fifty times. Now I want to start singing: 525,600 minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? Quote
Tough Grits Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Not sure how to spell it: The Croodes It was funny. The kids loved it. We had a gift card for the movie theater. They hadn't been to movie in years. Man, $47 dollars and change for 4 tickets, drinks, and popcorn. SHEESH Quote

classylady Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Just watched "The Hunger Games" on Netflix. I hadn't read the books so didn't know what to expect. Very well done. Quote
Connie Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Posted April 12, 2013 Finished watching Emma with Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller for the millionth time. It's my favorite version of this Jane Austen novel. Very well done, indeed. It's good to see others who like Darby O'Gill and The Trouble with Angels. I love those old movies. :) Quote
Apple_Acres Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Office Space and Army of Darkness. I really want to see Oblivion though. Quote
ploomf Posted April 14, 2013 Report Posted April 14, 2013 The Quiet Man and McLintock are perfect grandpa films! Are we related?If my dad had his way, we'd watch every Halloween.If your grandpa loved John Wayne movies, never turned down a game of cribbage, took the utmost pride in his vegetable garden, and lived to go fishing then we probably are.

carlimac Posted April 14, 2013 Report Posted April 14, 2013 THe Hobbit tonight. I liked the book better. Quote
Blissfullyballard Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 I just watched Top Gun again for the millionth time. Still cried! Quote
Blackmarch Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 Last movie I watched was The incredible hulk (the one from 2008 if I recall right, the one that was actually good) Quote
Maureen Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 Office Space and Army of Darkness.I really want to see Oblivion though.You have similar taste with my son.M. Quote
Maureen Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 Last movie I watched was The incredible hulk (the one from 2008 if I recall right, the one that was actually good)The one with Edward Norton. Yes, I agree, that one was good.M. Quote
Canuck Mormon Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 At home - Turning 40 - Stupid, stupid, stupid. In Theater - The Great and Powerful Oz - Boring and predictable Last good movie - Life of Pi (at home) - Les Mis (Theater) Quote
Apple_Acres Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 You have similar taste with my son.M.Then your son has a good taste in movies. Haha Quote
mordorbund Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 If your grandpa loved John Wayne movies, never turned down a game of cribbage, took the utmost pride in his vegetable garden, and lived to go fishing then we probably are. So close. My grandpa played dominoes, not cribbage. When he got down to 5 he would palm them in one hand so you didn't know when he was down to 1 until he tapped it on the table. Quote
Still_Small_Voice Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Office Space and Army of Darkness.I really want to see Oblivion though.I saw the movie Oblivion. I was disappointed in the two minute sensuality scene. I did not think there was going to be anything like that in the movie. Tom Cruise and another actress strip down naked in a pool. I couldn't tell you what happened because I only watched a small upper left hand portion of screen during the scene. I would advise you to wait for it on digital video disk. The movie was interesting but had some very long parts. Quote
