Now Showing - What We Watched - Page 51

Finally got a chance to watch Ju-On (a Christmas gift from my Brother-in-Law).

I found it very creepy, my wife left room early on.

"Lost in Translation"

102 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. And I'm a huge Murray fan.
The movie does have some interesting moments. At times it is very beautiful, and I really wanted to like it... I just couldn't. My feeling at the end was "so what". Disappointing.

Dave-
In complete agreement with you about "Translation"(is this going somewhere?). Was bored out of my skull!!!
Racer-
The japanese always come up with the creepiest/coolest movie concepts, don't they? -j

Manchurian Candidate--A conspiracy theorist type of movie, if you believe in conspiracy theories, this movie is for you. Much like that Mel Gibson/Julia Roberts movie, Conspiracy Theory.

Troy--I had low expectations of this movie, but it was actually quite enjoyable.

Just watched Henry and June; it came reccomended.
Didn't work though...

Bought without a paddle hilarious-recommended

Gus,
Sorry to hear about your situation, I have been there myself and it is always difficult to move on. Best of luck.

Next week is Friday night lights probably getting that one anyone see it?

I saw Open Water nearly two weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. Though relatively low budget, this movie really creeped me out. I could imagine myself in the same predicament as the two vacationers! So much for the great ocean view...

Thanks Jamie.

On a lighter note: You guys can watch me in HD this Sunday as I cheer Mr. Brady and his boys on as they get rid of Manning and his cronies at Gillette Stadium.

Gus

Patriots fan eh, Get ready for the eagles

One thing for you "New England" sports fans - no more bitching for at least 15 years! The self pity is gone, which, in some respects, will be hard for a few of you to handle. You can just leave that up to us "other" fans in KC, Philly, Seattle...

Watched "The Station Agent" last night. I enjoyed it, it is a "quiet" movie, one that is driven simply by the dialog and storyline as opposed to any action or huge conflict among characters. I guess it is really just a story about friendship. Worth watching.

Well we watched "The Village" the other night and let our 13 year old daughter watch it last night. She would not admit that it scared her at times even though we told her that her parents (we believe we still are her parents even though at times she doesn't want to admit that either....ahhh...Meanagers) were scared at times. We were thinking of watching "The Sixth Sense" tonight. Haven't seen that one in a long time. Yes, I will admit that I didn't get the ending of that one until the very end. It surprised me and I felt stoopid for not "seeing" it.

We also watched "Anchorman" also the other day. It was allot better then I expected. Steve Carell is just too funny. He will make a great Maxwell Smart. We sure miss him on the "Daily Show".

EDIT: We are nixing "The Sixth Sense" tonight. Instead we are watching the Tsunami victims broadcast on Bravo. It is a fundraiser for the Red Cross International Fund. One of the few charities that we will donate too. They have integrity.

Tried to watch Anchorman, turned it off after 20 minutes.

Gus,
Will you be wearing those sun glasses ? I want to make sure I recognize you if I see you.

Oh yea, tonight I watched 42nd street. I'm just in awe how good this looks. The last chapter is just incredible video. Nothing but a CRT can reproduce what this has to offer. This is a 1932 film !

Art

Sorry- it is kinda slow.

Gus- don't know what to say except I hope things get better.

Oh yeah- I never posted what I watched!

Actually I haven't posted what I've watched for a while here...

Last night re-watched Near Dark, on Thursday, Code 46 and tonight- probably nothing (people coming over).

In your dreams. Only one championship a year allowed to a city.

Its gonna be a close game.

Last night : Dr. Stangelove. Forgot what a bizarre movie that was. My son thought it was hillarious.

Last night Harry Potter 2, and a old black and white Charlie Chan movie..Great evening for all involved.

Gus, sorry to hear about your bad news.

Okay sunday night watched the final installment of Harry Potter.I though it was decent,not as good as the 2nd though.Which to me is the best of the 3.I do like the fact the stories are getting darker in nature as Harry grows older.

Also one thing I noticed is that the picture quality of the 3rd movie is MUCH better the the first 2.

brickie

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Sorry Art, I was wearing contacts (as part of my new life, I've spiked up my hair and got rid of my glasses)

I'm in Deptford, NJ on work and this place is boring as hades! So I'll probably not watch anything tonight. Saturday I watched (about 2 minutes of) Resident Evil II. Had a new friend over and we didn't really concentrate on the movie.

Now about Peyton manning, did he ever make it to the game? I didn't see too much of him there!!

Bring on The Steelers!!!

Gus

I like him, but he's starting to remind me of Jim Kelly..Sigh..

brickie

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind....not you typical movie, liked it.

Manchurian Candidate....Overall I liked this movie, although it was slow in parts. I need to watch the original.

Napolean Dynamite--if there's nothing else to watch, then go for it, otherwise, it was just a movie about nothing, no point or climax for that matter

Collateral last night for my birthday. What a view of LA at night!
