Guest Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Then I went on a chick-flick marathon and my sons joined me in some of them. Ever After Notting Hill My Best Friends Wedding Coyote Ugly Quote
Blackmarch Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Watched the las half of Stargate SG1 season 1 in one go. Now i need season 2 lol Quote
Blackmarch Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 just finished this vid on the great pyramid construction, and i enjoyed it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTgxGJfXRQ0. I had not heard the internal ramp theory before >.< Quote
Guest Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Two Weeks Notice Kids watched it with me. The funniest part for them is when the girl's best friend said, "I never saw you cry except for that time that Bush won". LOL! Quote
Bini Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Cinderella and my daughter was bored stiff out of her mind. We didn't even finish it. This is the FIRST movie she wanted to go home during. So we did. Quote
Magus Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I watched Cinderella today with my wife, actually. We loved it. Much better than I thought it would be. Very nice, pleasant and wholesome, beautiful scenery and special effects. And the men were respectable and strong men, and the women weren't trite feminist caricatures - a rarity in Disney films these days. Refreshing. Quote
skalenfehl Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I almost want to watch Jupiter Ascending. I love the genre, but this one looks over the top. Then again, it's made by the guys who made The Matrix. I did watch The Matrix, though, back when I used to watch R shows. Violence aside, it was extremely creative and imaginative. Quote
Magus Posted March 18, 2015 Report Posted March 18, 2015 I saw Jupiter Ascending - enjoyed it. It's, of course, very sci-fi - and that can be a divisive genre - but the characters are developed well and the special effects/action are pretty mind-blowing. A solid, entertaining film. My only big criticism is that a big aspect of the plot is a little too similar to The Matrix....humanity unknowingly being used as a resource by some other group with the upper-hand. Quote

The Matrix is one of my most favorite movies! My husband and I (this was before the kids were born) saw it at the theaters about 20 times! It went to the dollar theaters and we still went and watched it... All the sequels are one of my most hated movies... lol. Quote

The romance element fell super flat too. I groaned at all the supposedly romantic scenes between Jupiter and that Step Up guy. The movie would have been great without those. Quote

Latter Days Guy Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Monsters Dark Continent. 2/5Saw this the other night and quite liked it! I like how the actual monsters are the backdrop to the human story, just like the first one. Quote
Latter Days Guy Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Left BehindWas that the new one with Nicholas Cage or the original one? Liked the original better, just don't get how they could make a movie from what was essentially the first couple of chapters of the first Left Behind book when what it covered could have been done in about 15 minutes.

skalenfehl Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Today, I finally watch Big Hero 6. Loved it! Blackmarch and Latter Days Guy 2 Quote
Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Insurgent. Didn't like it. Never Been Kissed. Kids were like, I don't get it. Me neither. I don't get how a 25 year old can pass for 17. Prince & Me. Kids thought this was the awesomest movie... or, rather, the awesomest 5 minutes of a movie - lawn mower racing! LOL. I almost got tickets to the Sean Penn movie and then my husband said, "Don't get it! I just saw a video of him saying guns are cowardly killing machines..." Quote
Blackmarch Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 stargate season 2 , and half of season 3.... Quote
Vort Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Watched Apollo 18 Friday night. I didn't have sky-high expectations, so it mostly fulfilled them. The ending was kind of dumb. Maybe I just don't have a taste for horror, but the "suspense" was just mostly overwrought and stupid. Overall, not a great movie by any means; certainly does not measure up to the Europa Report gold standard. Quote

It's on Netflix and just seeing it on the list gives me the heebie jeebies. Quote

I watched Interstellar recently, and found it superficially entertaining but seriously wanting on further reflection, especially with regards to the supposed father-daughter bond of love. Pretty sure I already ranted about that on this forum, though. Quote
