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?

i really want to see slumdog millionaire, but i have a hard time getting DH out to the movies. he likes to wait till their on demand and watch in his media rm. think he' just likes the pause feature a bit too much.

i'm a big coen brother fan, and saw burn after reading this wkend. not one of their best, but i do like john malkovich... he played a great drunk:)

Burn After Reading was crazy. I loved it. Twists and turns and just crazy.

it was !! & i'm not so much a brad pitt fan, but he was a riot!

I love going to the movies but I really think I love renting them more..the last few movies we saw were:

Coraline which kinda scared me lol and I don't really think it's a kids movie but I may just be a big wienie.

Revolutionary Road I loved it! I thought it was great!

And He's Just Not That Into You which I hated but I'm not really a "chick flick" kinda gal.

Did anyone see Slumdog Millionaire?

Me, me! I loved it. I thought it was the kind of movie that is more than the sum of its parts and, to me, that's the sign of a great movie.

I thought it made India seem really alive, too. I hadn't been that interested in visiting it before this from watching it on the Amazing Race.

I was so happy when Slumdog Millionaire won all kinds of awards. I think I may go home and make some more Madras Deviled eggs to Celebrate. :w00t:

Did anyone catch Hugh Jackman at the grammy's?

He was so wonderful! I was very impressed with his singing and playfulness...he's my new hollywood fav.

Thanks all for reply about SDM. I think I have to go see it now. I'll give my 2 cents here after I do.

I didn't see the Grammy's, and it was the first time in years...

Okay that just made me LOL!

My bf and I really have a hard time picking movies to rent. He likes the guy movies of course, (action type) and sci fi. I hate either of those type of movies.

I like comedies and dramas. We both liked Grand Torino. Those are the types of movies we can watch together.

I saw Slum Dog and thought it was a good movie. I saw it because I figured it would win the award. I didn't think it was as good as "the Best Movie of the Year"

Nobody has mentioned Changling. That was a good movie.

I am lucky that it's really cheap to go to the movies here, so I go often. It would be nice to find more that I could see with the bf, but mostly I go with my other friends.

I hope this thread keeps going so I can write down some ideas of movies to rent. I am always walking around Blockbuster in a daze, not knowing what to get. I want to rent Crash, because bf has never seen it, but it's always out.

i thought he was great - but he was SLAMMED in reviews, as corny....

so - last night DH thought diner & a movie (movie being at home of course). the best nap of my life: Body of Lies (russell crowe / lenoardo dicaprio). GREAT acting, BAD screenplay - way too long, i fell asleep 1:30 in & DH said i missed nothing.

I think that's why I'm not pulled by those movies. It really needs to keep my attention. I've tried to get through a couple movies, thinking I just fell asleep because I was tired, exhausted, etc - but I just can't.

watched a few this wkend w/a sick hubby:

* there will be blood - a long movie but FANTASTIC

* sleepy hollow - how did i miss this one!

* pineapple express - highly overrated :thumbup:

* W - had zero expectations, i enjoyed it

* mama mia - movie so/so; am an abba fan, so i enjoyed the music

Okay, this weekend I rented and actually watched the following:

Body of Lies (Awesome!)

Changling (Awesome!)

Baby Mamma (Okay)

Flash of Genius( Good)

Lulu, I love Abba. Bought the movie and have the Abba CD. Love it!:thumbup:

Momma Mia was okay, but like ya'll, I love the music.

My girls and I are planning a ladies night with wine and Momma Mia sing along.

Will there be a pillow fight later in the evening?

I saw it on the stage and it was great. They say the movie is good. Lucky you. Have fun and this should be easy what with the wine and all.......
