Movies - General Discussion

[romster]

I was torn at first when it won Best Picture as I had been expecting Brokeback Mountain to win and since it was fresher in my mind, I thought it had the edge over Crash.

But after ruminating for a bit, I decided I liked how it turned out with the nod for directing going to Ang Lee and the nod for best picture going to Crash. Brokeback Mountain was a much better directing achievement but as far as the movies themselves, I can't say one stood way out over the other.

I saw The 40 Year Old Virgin and was surprised at how well done and entertaining it was. I enjoyed it more than The Wedding Crashers.

[FVD]

40 year old was much funnier than Wedding Crashers, for sure.

[-Deborah-]

I will have to see it then.

Paper Lion is on FLIX West Coast right now.

We saw Inside Man tonight. It had great potential, but I really thought the ending was unsatisfying.

[Niffla]

It looks real intriguing, but i've heard similar things from people about the way it ended. I'm a Spike & Denzel fan, so I think i'll probably enjoy it.

V for Vendetta - very good except Portman's inability to do an English accent.

Derailed - not so good and predictable though Aniston did a decent job playing against type.

An Unfinished Life - good and enjoyable; didn't know much about it and was pleasantly surprised.

Vendetta was pretty good. I was surprised.

I like Derailed tho. Clive Owen is a cool SOB.

Has anyone seen Stay?

[SnowMeiser]

I am looking forward to the movie "Poseidon". I only hope that it is as good as the original.

[jaadam4]

Never heard of it.

[jaadam4]

Oh that movie looks gay. I'm gonna pass.

[jaadam4]

Speaking of gay, how was Brokeback Mountain? Still havent seen it.

[romster]

Brokeback Mountain was fantastic if you're not homophobic.

Has anyone seen Stay?

Not yet but it's in my Netflix queue.
