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?

Ok, I just came back from "Knowing"

Full disclosure -- I love scifi, disaster, end-of-the-world type flicks. I give a LOT of leeway to these films, you have to buy into their view and mindset.

That said -- this thing SUCKED

It sucked so hard I expected to have a hickey when I walked out. It was so bad it should have starred Bill Pullman, Kevin Bacon and Anne Heche

Just don't. Please. Save yourself the $8 and 2 hours. May I suggest instead Roadhouse?

I too love apocalyptical movies. However, it's been a very very long time since I've seen a good Nick Cage film. I try to avoid his films like I do Stallone's.....

Hey, I liked Family Man. :huh2:

Why doesn't anyone but me like Face Off?

I give face/off some style points, because I like that it was stereotypical John Woo (big circular movements in slo - mo, flowing coats like capes, etc).

And slo-mo doves....lest we forget.

Well, I give him props for Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas and Face-off (but he was trying to be Travolta, anyone's cool doing that). Gone in 60 Seconds wasn't bad, but that movie didn't require acting chops -- any breathing middle age male would work.

Do you realize he's been in over -60- movies?

Raising Arizona was a classic. Also, I really enjoyed Leaving Las Vegas, and was pleasantly surprised at the job he did. I tend to chalk that up to "give a million monkeys a typewriter and let them type for a million years...."

I didn't know he had 60+ movies. I guess being related to Francis Ford Coppola has its perks, eh?

Well, I give him props for Raising Arizona,

the only movie i enjoyed of his - but i'm a coen bro fan.

Oooooh, Cohen Bros! "Barton Fink" was their best, bar none! There are so many levels of screenwriting going on in there....incredible film.

dh is a big oh brother fan, me i LOVED hudsucker proxy......both can't get enough of the dude "big lebowski".

What? You didn't like The Rock?

The Rock: What a special guy!

Nick Cage: Loved him in Raising Arizona, Honeymoon in Vegas (with Sarah Jessica Parker), Face/Off and Con-Air. He started to "lose it" after Bringing Out the Dead... that movie SUCKS! Gone in 60 Seconds was good, but yes I agree with anyone being able to play that part. Did you know he got paid $20M for that?

It's nice to be him.

Nick will NEVER be able to top his multifaceted, subtle, nuanced character portrayal of Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider. Cage got robbed of the oscar on that one.

Lasst night's movies...oldies but goodies....

Treasure of the Sierra Madre - 4 (nobody does eerily over-the-edge-subtle- insanity like Bogart)

Touch of Evil - 4 (Charlton Heston as a mexican was pushing it, but once over that weirdness it was a good movie).

I really liked Touch of Evil. It was a Hitchcock, right? Or am I confused again?

you are confused...Orson Welles was the producer, director and actor
