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 haven't seen any more movies lately at all! Time's just flown by.

Had a chance to see Taken and Seven Pounds, but couldn't get the time.

Road House

Road House - Movie (1989) | LocateTV

I give it a 3 1/2. Hahahahaaaaa!! Don't know what else to say, but I do recommend it.

Hells yes!!! ROADHOUSE!!!!!

Oh no, another one who liked Road House?? I just do NOT understand the attraction...it definitely isn't in the permanent collection DH and I continue to build.

Perhaps I need to educate you on its merits? Perhaps my April Blog on facebook will be "The Tao of Roadhouse"....

Perhaps so...of course as I am not on Facebook, I would miss your literate fulsome wise discourse on the movie, alack, alas.

Last night was Crimson Tide. The opportunity to watch Denzel, and Viggo Mortenson.....be still my heart! However the merit of a movie is not in the actors...it is in the story, the acting, and the cinematography, so the movie was a 3.

diva - i have it on tivo but haven't watched yet....looking forward to it now.

getting caught up on tivo time & haven't watched many movies but the 2 i downloaded to watch on the plane:

zach & miri make a porn movie - cute / stupid / funny (taps rating) i give it a 3

milk - LOVED it, i give it a 4.5

Whoa...glad I found this thread in time. First off, how can anyone give Memento a 2?!?!? That movie kicks ass!

Roadhouse...terrible movie :tongue_smilie:

I just went a saw Last House on the Left. I liked it but it is definitely not for the faint of heart. I'm a huge movie fan and I do enjoy the horror movie genre so I had to see this remake of the Wes Craven classic. It is very graphic, including a pretty brutal rape scene. The movie was good though. I would give it a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale.

Roadhouse...terrible movie

Don't make me send Dalton after you, Melly! *Throat grab*

right Glouc?:tongue_smilie:

Seriously, I know it's bad. It's soooooo bad that it's good, though.

LOL, we actually walked out of Last House and ask for a refund, along with about 4 others----not something I would ever recommend, and not because it was gory---just a pathetic remake in my opinion!

Everyone sees things different, this just proves it!

Exactly because I just had no words... it was that awesome.

and the throat grab, work of art. ;o)

Nurse Melly - Welcome to the movie thread, where all opinions are welcomed (and the tastes of others are questioned/mocked...by others though, never me!:tongue_smilie:)

I'm hoping this weekend some good movies are among those randomly selected by DH and myself...watched another bad one last night: The Philadelphia Experiment...great premise, terrible movie. (I hate when that happens, and yet it does sooooo often). 1 on our 5 point scale.

HAHA Oh wow, most people I've talked to liked it.

I heard they are remaking Nightmare on Elm Street due to come out next year. I hope they do a good job. That movie scared the beejeeze out of me when I was a kid.

Last nights movies:

A beautiful mind - 4

Drop Dead Gorgeous - ejected it after about 7 minutes (DSD has such terrible taste in movies; how could such a movie loving, movie aware, movie intelligent man such as DH have such a daughter??)

Giant - 4

Yes Road house....I liked the movie. Been yrs since I have seen it though. I seen a good movie yesterday called Miss Ever's Boys. I love to watch fact based/ true stories. It really was making me mad at points. If you haven't seen it, it is about Tuskegee, Al. and how the gov. used people for human Guinea pigs. My rating an 9

I surprised myself the other day. I watched a movie on Beatrix Potter (famous Aurthur of children's books. Petter Rabbit) Anyway I do not like Renee Zelwigler. I think she can't act. But I actually liked her in this movie. Now if she could do just as good of acting in her other movies. Rating 8

Got a chance to see Taken - LOVED IT.

It's the kind of movie that makes cheer out loud, because if someone took my daughter I'd want to do everything he does. (Don't have those skills of course, but I'd WANT to.)

Well Glou, I can't see you and I sharing a box of popcorn at the movies - our tastes are toooo different. I watched Taken, but way too much gratuitous violence, an improbable storyline, bad script.

Yesterday was a Hitchcock day: Lifeboat - 4; Strangers on a Train - 3; Rebecca - 3. I had had high expectations for Rebecca as that was one of my fav books, but it was too different from the book to let me enjoy it.
