I love Josie and the pussycats!! It's so funny.

I just bought "Racing Stripes"... going to watch it later with Luke.

BostonGirl86:

i finally saw Strictly Ballroom tonight...it was great i <3 Baz

ooo, I <3 Baz too!! I haven't seen Strictly Ballroom in a while, and I think it's my least favourite of the three...
I watched my Moulin Rouge DVD again recently and he is a genius!!
Have you seen his Romeo and Juliet?

On Saturday night I watched Cocktail, Dirty Dancing (again!) and Little Shop Of Horrors. Cocktail is good, young Tom Cruise is always nice except for the very 80s hair! Little Shop is a bit weird but very funny, and with great music.

Fabulous, three absolute classics!! Got Cocktail on dvd, wicked!
Was chuffed to discover i know one of Patrick Swayze's Dirty Dancing moves from the salsa class i go to, how cool?!?!

Also looking forward to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, seems like a very Tim Burton type thing to do, should be good

I love Cocktail and Dirty Dancing, havent seen those in ages.... also liked strictly Ballroom....and watch Moulin Rouge once a week...at least....my 2 and 4 year olds throw themselves around the sofa saying 'lets make love' as Satine does...theyve no idea what they are going on about obviously but it sounds so horrible

watched Face Off (again) the other night, I just love Nic Cage and John Travolta in it.

Right now Ive got The Return of the King on wonder why

just been to see the interpreter - good! Although worst line of the movie, when Sean Penn says "there are a lot of things we didn't have time for" or somthing like that!

Think she did very well in it. Only 2 quibbles with it, from a professional point of view!
- that they couldn't find an interpreter who spoke portuguese to interview the janitor!! That's most unlikely!
- that although she was making a good effort to speak slowly and deliberately, like interpreters do, she was overdoing it, pausing. between. every. word.

On the whole, a very good film though, if a little predictable!

One of my top ten musicals. Love it so much, its excellent

Loved Steve Martin in Little Shop.

Batman Begins is good, good story, super fit Batman!

am staying up late so I can watch Singin' in the Rain on the telly!! sad case? probably!! still - let's see if I make it till the end - it only starts at about ten to one or something!!

(why don't I just buy the dvd?? I think I probably will anyway!!)

i enjoyed 'chocolat'.....johnny depp

Saw "Episode III" last night when I came home from work... good movie, but Hayden's acting was a little plankish.

His scene where he gets stuck in the lava & burns up was quite horrific... I can understand why it got the certificate it did now.

Watching "War of The Worlds" tonight...

oh good please tell us if War of the Worlds is any good....its out now then is it...I fancy seeing that one!

Funtin':

I just bought "Racing Stripes"... going to watch it later with Luke.

That was shot in SA near to where I live and my cousins and some friends were extras. They got paid R2000(£200) for 10 days work. They had to wear the same clothes and it was really hot so some of the people smelt really bad. Still need to watch it and see if I can spot them.

30something:

oh good please tell us if War of the Worlds is any good....its out now then is it...I fancy seeing that one!

It's not out in the cinema yet, but I have a copy on dvd...

mmmmm.....thats what I thought ....weird issnt it, that happened to me with Collateral !!! Enjoy anyway!

*dances*


I got the "RAY" DVD.


"hit the road jack, and doncha come back no more no more no more NO MORE...."

Oh Jenna... isn't Ray just FABULOUS???

Jamie Foxx was well deserving of that Oscar he got for best actor...

I've watched Closer last night. God what a beautifull movie (and not forget Jude Law ).

Am now watching Oceans 12, which is a bit dissappointing. The only good thing is that our city hall is in it.. Well and Brad Pitt and George Clooney aren't bad either..

I've already been waxing lyrical about the film I saw last night in another thread, but I suppose this is the appropriate place for it, so I'll copy what I said!

I went to see "les Poupees Russes" (Russian Dolls - don't know if that's the official English title) last night and I highly recommend it - although I don't know if it's out where you are... it probably will be released in the UK at some point, coz it's a Franco-British collaborative effort... but alas, probably not in most mainstream cinemas as it's not all in English and the 'powers that be' seem to turn their noses up at that! It is in a mixture of French/English/Russian (although mostly French) and set in Paris/London and St Petersburg.



It's the sequel of l'Auberge Espagnole (released in English as Pot Luck, I think!)

they are both FANTASTIC! The first one is about a French student who goes to study in Barcelona for a year - and it sums up perfectly the sort of experiences and emotions 'living abroad', and then returning home, provokes. The sequel is set 5 years later.

I'm am really happy I enjoyed the sequel - that is quite a feat, as the first was brilliant and is still one of my favourite films! Especially difficult as it's not a 'formulaeic' film - was just a sort of 'life' story - but he (Cedric Klapisch, the director) managed somehow to take the characters on in a way that didn't seem forced, unnatural or repetetive! All the old cast made an appearence, but only some were still main characters, so now they are no longer students, but are approaching 'la trentaine' and dealing with life, love and work...

...and just to encourage you to see it by way of a contribution to all your fruity imaginations, there is a *hilarious* scene in the middle where, mid-argument, the main character's girlfriend storms out of his flat and runs down the street (starkers!) and he chases after her, also running down the street (starkers!).... then he catches her up and they make up while standing on a traffic island... much to the bemusement of some (fully clothed!) passers-by!!

has kevin bishop in it! i love him!!!

he was jim hawkins in muppet treasure island
(yes, it is sad i know that)

Oh wow - I hadn't seen him in anything else! In that case you should try to see this one - he plays a HILARIOUS part in it! The typical English 'yoof', not quite getting to grips with the different cultures and managing to offend everyone (particularly the German character, funnily enough )
He was in the sequel too, but he played a more serious part (although key to the plot, he was the reason for the russian connection, he fell in love with a ballerina!)

"War Of The Worlds" is REALLY good... Tom Cruise & Dakota Fanning are both excellent in it!!! GO SEE IT!!!

I also the new "Fantastic Four" movie at the weekend... that totally blew me away... the effects are AMAZING! I bought my copy for £5 & it is amazing quality!

Lol my dad won't let us buy pirate DVD's or videos! Says its stealing! No fair!!


That is the most confusing film I've ever seen!! Lol! It was just waay too far fetched.

Clarabee:

Lol my dad won't let us buy pirate DVD's or videos! Says its stealing!

A guy in work sells them.. really good copies.

We only just got our multi-region player, so we haven't been able to play copied discs before.

I was actually kinda disappointed with War of The Worlds, think my expectations were too high! Good effects and some tense moments but somehow wasn't as good as i was expecting.

Something about seeing aliens in films just doesn't quite work for me! I really like the film "Signs" but i think the atmosphere it builds by not actually showing the aliens just suggesting their presence and leaving it to your imagination is far better than when they show a couple of aliens at the end, that brought the film down a bit for me.

Clarabee:

Lol my dad won't let us buy pirate DVD's or videos! Says its stealing! No fair!!

it is stealing!!



and Anita your friend shouldn't be selling them, let alone you buying them!

I know! Lol trust me my mum and dad have told me all about it, and what the money gained from it is, usually, used for. Not good stuff at all! I'd rather see a film on the big screen anyway, it's always a MILLION times better!

Clarabee:

Lol my dad won't let us buy pirate DVD's or videos! Says its stealing! No fair!!

I agree very much that it is stealing , or piracy as the powers that be call it ! The money is used to fund drug dealing and terrorism - I would hate to think that any of my money might have gone towards Thursday's atrocity in London ..... I always buy dvds , cds , etc from stores or online at Amazon......

Watched Fantastic Four. And I don't like it. I was dying of boredom watching it. I only watched it because Ioan Gruffudd was in it. And the American accent he had was a bit strange. It didn't seem natural. They're contracted to make 2 more of these. It was just way too long, with bad lines and bad acting. Except for lovely Ioan of course.

I have to admit I'd go and see it just for IG! Although, it does look pretty good. He's an added bonus

Went to see Mr and Mrs smith. Just LOVED it

I saw War of the Worlds last night....the effects were impressive and it started off good, but nothing compared to the original radio play, no trace of the music either that makes war of the worlds.

the ending was too abrupt, they spent ages building it up and they rushed the ending!

I liked the lead up to big attacked from the aliens but the storyline was quite weak in places, just datoka fanning and tom cruise running away a lot.

i would have liked to have seen a new version made using the musical version iof war of the worlds....the main theme song is a fantastic, haunting piece of music and it wasn't in the film!!!

I thought that! Ditto your entire post. I was VERY disappointed that there wasn't any original music in particular.

AnnaBolic x

the cinema actually played about 30 seconds of the theme song before the film started and i got quite excited, but then there was no music in the film!! might go out and buy the cd to make up for it

i also thought the film should have had more narration, other than the start and the end to explain the 'war of the worlds' more.

just watched prince of egypt again

love that movie

i want to know wot ppl's opinion of dodgeball is....
is it worth me seeing? bearing in mind i love vince vaughn and zoolander and other ben stiller movies.....

xxx

i thought it was pretty funny...the usual stupid stuff thats funny ...i think you'll like it if you already like vince & ben & those types of movies

Yesterday I saw
Sisterhood of the travelling pants - loved it!
Fantastic Four - yeah pretty good - loved Ioan in it
Mr and Mrs Smith - it was ok

I've just watched Sliding doors (again) and everytime the end is shocking. Eventhough I know it's coming it still upsets me.. Apart from that, I love that movie!

ZOOLANDER... now that is a classymovie. just watched it again round my mates. LOVE IT

and also watched Hocus Pocus for the first time. wasn't so impressed- it had kinda been hyped up to me, but ah well. directed by the same guy who directed my fave movie- NEWSIES! (see them dance in my sig!)

xxx

hatson:

bearing in mind i love vince vaughn

You should see Wedding Crashers... it looks hilarious!

aw man, i have to see it, considering my love for all things vince vaughn AND owen wilson

a bus drove past today in town with poster for it and my mate died of embarassment as i ran after it shouting "give me that bus"

oh... the things we do for love

Well, have seen Fantastic Four & WOTW so I am all movied out... I think I'll stick to DVD's for a bit... we are going to see Madagascar at the weekend for my son Luke's birthday.

i saw Bewitched a few days ago...very cute, funny, entertaining ...but it's kind of stupid/pointless after you think about it...does that make sense? i liked it but probably wouldn't see it again soon

My favourite film is Dead Poets Society (1989), I have seen it twice and I've cried always.. Actors are great; Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard...
I really recommend it!

Will probably watch The Parent Trap (remake) tonight with my mates post-curry. Hopefully accompanied by lots of wine.

ZOOLANDER... now that is a classymovie. just watched it again round my mates. LOVE IT

Zoolander is fab isn't it?! Love the petrol fight to Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, classic!

Check out The Life Aquatic, Owen Wilson on fine form and the fantastic Bill Murray. It's by the same guy as The Royal Tenenbaums so slightly off the wall but wicked! Great soundtrack too

Yay, The Royal Tenenbaums is on BBC2 shortly! If you're free be sure to check it out, classic!

Just watched it HGM, was a bit weird but pretty good. Not sure I'd rush to watch it again though to be honest. Richie was my favourite character I think - and doesn't Luke Wilson look like Owen?!
