I haven't come across a thread like this...maybe I'm wrong.

Born from my facebook Movie List note, I realized I watch way too many movies...and I'd like to know what ya'll think of movies that you've seen.

Recently I saw "He's Just Not That Into You" and I hated it. Not all of it, but most of it...I liked the uptight wife who threw the mirror and then cleaned it up. But overall the movie was really not what I expected.

I expected it to follow the premise of the book, and I thought it'd be more of a chick-bonding flick than a sappy love story (or a few of 'em). The stories depicted proved the "exceptions" rather than "rule", which is what the book tried so hard to convey.

I also expected more from the Drew Barrymore character - I like her in movies and she fell flat in this one.

Thoughts? Movies?

So, It probabley explains this in the thread...but is that a scale of 1-5 or 1-10?

What RSG?? You mean you didn't start at the beginning and read all the reviews??? :smile2::tt2:

1 - 5 rating where:

1 - I would rather remove my own eyeballs with a rusty knife than see that again. Time I will NEVER get back.

2 - ok as background noise if you are ironing or only partly listening

3 - alright movie; enjoyed it, but glad I didn't pay full price to see it at a theatre

4 - add it to the collection; good movie.

5 -oh why oh why can't they make more movies like this? This will stand the test of time for being a great movie.

I watched the Changeling last night. It was good but had some really sad moments. Definitely worth renting!

I watched a few while i was blahhhhing in bed.

Slumdog Millionaire: 3.8 stars.. It was good, but I don't think it was as good as it was made to be. It held my interest though, but just not *quite* a four star movie...

Role Models: 3.5 stars. I really liked this comedy! It's been awhile since a comedy has made me laugh like this. So, if you like senseless male hormonal toilet humor, this is your movie. ;o)

Seven Pounds: 5 stars and 2 thumbs WAY up!! Wow, this one blew me away! I was not expecting such a deep drama. Get out the kleenex.

Seven Pounds: 5.

well LilMiss, I can't see us going to a movie together anytime soon! Slumdog, I agree with the comment, but would still have rated it a 4. But 7lbs as a 5 is beyond me!

Only one movie this weekend - The Negotiator...3

Last night's movies:

Alone with her - 2.5 (Great premise, just thought it was a little overacted by male actor, little unrealistic near the end)

Valkyrie - 3. Despite Tom Cruise, a good movie but still could have been better.

Last night:

Marlee & Me: 4 Stars, but I'll never watch this movie again. Ever.

I read the book and was reading a sad part at Jiffy Lube waiting on an oil change. I was bawling and tryin to be discreet - wasn't happening. The lady behind the counter made a comment about the book being that good, and I said, sobbing, "Y-y-e-s-s-s....It-is-gooooood!" sob. sob. sob.

So, yeah. I am hesitant to watch the movie - because 1) will it be as good? and 2) I need to buy tissues first.

Saw one movie over the weekend. We indulged in a "scary" flick and saw The Alphabet Killer with that chick from Dollhouse.

Yeah...scary movies sometimes just suck. I won't even rate this it was that bad.

We have 7 Pounds at home, but DH doesn't want to see it, so I'm waiting for some me time. Haven't gotten it yet.

Valkyrie - 3. Despite Tom Cruise, a good movie but still could have been better.

hahahahahaha ,

can't see marlee & me - the book crushed me * can't imagine the movie ... i have a "marlee" & he's just now at the perfect age of 5, but the early yrs - i could have written the book.....not a graceful lab:)

Glou - a really bad movie is Doomsday. It is now my standard for horrid movies and all others are rated against it. So, the Alphabet Killer rated a 2...

Weird combo of movies last night:

The China Syndrome - 4 (spookily prescient of the Chernobyl disaster)

11:14 - 2.

Yesterday:

The Rainmaker - 2

Echelon Conspiracy - 2

Sabrina (the original) - 3

Tap, you watch alot of 2's & 3's... are these movies you've never seen before?

These are all movies I haven't seen before - I went years (make that decades) without a TV or an interest in movies; DH has made it his mission to correct this 'deficiency'... I need to 'catch up'! Every available 2 hour time slot is dedicated to watching movies, and good ones (4's and 5's) are kept (we are up to 500+). But there are thousands more to go...thankfully with summer coming (eventually) we will spend all this time outside playing in the dirt rather than inside watching movies (although I get a lot of knitting/sewing/ironing/needlework done while watching them).

just finished:

Splinter 1 (stupid inane ridiculous terrible horrible)

The Conversation 1.5 (oh dear heavens, why was this movie made?)
