Movies - General Discussion

Saw "What Happens in Vegas" today. It had a LOT of laugh out loud moments.

The latest movie to leave quite an impression on me is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, adapted from the book of the same name by Jean-Dominque Bauby who, at 43, suffered a massive stroke, leaving him almost completely paralyzed. His mental faculties were intact and he could blink his left eye. He dictated the entire book by blinking when the correct letter was spoken by someone reciting the alaphabet. He died of pneumonia 10 days after his book was published. It's a moving story and the director, Julian Schnabel, did an incredible job with the movie. Much of it is shot as seen through the eye of Jean-Do.

Saw Iron man yesterday. It was a great movie. A true blockbuster, but with a decent story.

(Plus I'm a huge fan of the Iron Man comic book)

Wow Rom that's pretty cool. I'll have to check that one out

I saw Iron Man yesterday and I liked it too. I thought it was one of the better superhero movies.

Gwyneth Paltrow is underrated as a babe. She has a "plain" look that's very intoxicating.

I remember liking Iron Man as a child but I don't remember why. I don't think he had his own cartoon series and I didn't start collecting the comic books until I was about 11 or 12.

Gwyneth as a redhead is very cute. I think as a blonde, she's too washed out or something.

Oh, and they took too darn long to kick out the Black Sabbath in that movie!!!

I watched There Will Be Blood and WOW!!! Daniel Day Lewis is un f'ing real. It's hard to put into words how great of a performance that was. He has a gift.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!

LOL! That was a funny skit.

Btw, another very good movie I've seen recently is In the Valley of Elah. Kept my attention the whole time. Tommy Lee Jones plays Tommy Lee Jones but I didn't mind.

I took Jack and Will to see the new Indiana Jones movie today. Since we have gotten the box set of the first three with the bonus disc Jack has become an "Indy" expert. He's been counting the days until release and was not disapointed with the latest offering.

It was a lot of fun and tied up some loose ends. Quite a few good laughs and some good moments. If you enjoyed the first three, you will like this one.

BTW, it was very predictable, but it really didn't matter. It was what it was...

I saw Indy on Thursday afternoon after golfing. It was all I expected it to be, if you weren't an Indy fan then you probably won't enjoy this one as much. Its not the greatest movie ever made, but it was pretty entertaining overall. I'll be adding it to the DVD collection when it comes out... speaking of which, I can't wait for Rambo to come out on DVD Tuesday.

I'm a little disappointed hearing this. Why cant they just let a good thing be? I thought the Last Crusade was very good and ended the series very well.

What would you guys rate the new movie as.. 1-10?

Saw Sex and the City yesterday. I would recommend waiting for it on DVD. It was satisfying for folks like me who watched the TV show religiously, but really just seemed like another (longer than usual) episode.

[jaadam4]

Thats why i dont think Sopranos will make a movie.
