As I write this Brokeback Mountain is airing. I had to see it. It is Heath Ledger's best role.

I just received that in the mail today I hope you fell asleep because you were tired and not out of boredom. Although some of the more recent movies Kidman has done have been stinkers... but there's still Nicole Kidman.

I just watched "We Are Marshall"...a DVD I borrowed from the library. I really liked it...great acting, uplifting story, and awesome soundtrack. I love most football movies I've seen...Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights, Jerry Maguire...even Waterboy and Varsity Blues.

I'm not into sports but for some reason I really like sports movies. They're usually not all about sports...she should give it a try.

I'll try to pass the message on to her again that sports movies are not about sports, and even when they are (Caddyshack & Major League come to mind) they are extremely funny and poke fun at the sport they are portraying or in the case of Field of Dreams it is a very deep and moving story.

I have that sitting here (and have had it here for a while) waiting to watch it. My wife doesn't like sports movies and I keep explaining to her it has nothing to do with sports... at least not really.

Lemony Snicketts or whatever it is... I have that in my queue to be delivered as well there are more movies that come out then I can get with my Blockbuster account... thinking of doing NetFlix and Blockbuster at the same time... then I know I'd start getting dupes 'cause I'm not that organized.

I never did the movie rental (maybe 2 I can remember) until they came out with the Netflix style of movie rental and that has been working out really well and I am calculating the cost of rental at just over $1/rental/month so that is quite worth it to me. With having a 50" plasma and surround sound it is ALMOST like being in the theatre... which I would love to have... a theatre room with club chairs and projection... not gonna happen though

I'm not a movie renter, never have been. Neither is my roommate. I think I've rented about 8 movies in my life, one of them I actually rented on 2 different occasions because we couldn't find it to buy. We finally managed to catch it off air & record it. We once rented the first Star Wars trilogy because my former roommate's mother hadn't seen it & it hadn't been broadcast back then. Those are the 4 I actually remember renting, and I once rented Zorro, the Gay Blade to show my current roommate, before we were roommates.

Ginger in the Morning I could not find by that title I added the other two... Just a small correction maybe i'll come home in spring - 1970 not 1971 and yes choices was 1981.

This past weekend we watched "The Game Plan" with The Rock. It was good family movie. I am so behind on movies, since my girls are 11 and 6, we tend to watch what they want to watch. LOL The last movie at the theater we saw was Alvin and the Chipmunks. This is one we will be buying for our collection. We don't go to the movies too often since it is so expensive. I would rather wait for them to come out at Redbox. We rented the Simpsons and I was very disappointed. I am glad we didn't see it at the theater.

I have seen the Simpsons and the only thing I liked was the very beginning where Homer calls you and idiot for watching a movie when you can see it for free on TV or something of the fact. The game plan I didn't know if I would like or not but it was both cute and entertaining.. I haven't seen the Chipmunks yet but I am sure that is going to be a riot.

The girls and I liked the Chipmunks for different reasons. Some innuendo's that went right over there head. I'm hoping it comes out for an Easter release.

The very last movie I watched was The Chronicles of Narnia. I haven’t seen that on the big screen and I actually watched it on my tv with cable connection hehehe.. I missed a lot of movies on the big screen actually so made up to my cable instead. The very last movie I watched on the big screen was of Nicholas Cage. I forgot the title he has a burning motorcycle on that movie. Remind me of that movie anyway..

I don't go to the theatre very often. The loudness of the sound and the huge screen make me dizzy and nauseaus. It has to be a movie I really want to see to get me in there - like Hairspray, which is the last movie I saw in the theatre. Then we bought the DVD for Christmas. However, we also bought Shrek the Third which I watched the other night. It was hilarious seeing all the innuendos of other movies. My 14 year old didn't even catch them until I pointed them out to her, and it was her second or third time watching the movie. The voice of the Queen is played by Julie Andrews who was Maria in The Sound of Music. During Shrek The Third she bangs her head against the wall and becomes dizzy and starts humming the song "Favourite Things" from the Sound of Music. We rolled through the credit, checked the stars' names and then went back to listen to them to see if it sounded like them - like Regis Philbin as a barmaid. It's a movie you can watch over again and see things you missed before because so many things happen so fast. I loved the movie.

It was a James Cagney movie on TCM that started about Marathon Dancing. I did not see all of it. I mostly watch women in danger films. We get the Movie Channel, but the last movie I saw in full was The Godfather Part III on A & E. Most of the time, we do not go to the Theater, so we watch the movies on the Movie Channels and if we have already seen the movies, we switch channels.

I used to switch the channels to when I have already seen a movie but I have found if I watch a movie a couple of times I pick up a lot of stuff I missed the first time around. One thing I will not do is start a movie in the middle. If I haven't seen it and it's already started then I'm changing the channel.

I just watched Bee Season on DVD which stars Richard Gere, Juliet Binoche and Flora Cross. I initially thought it was just another spelling bee- and feel-good movie, but it was so much more complex and deeper that that. I really enjoyed it but I'm still trying to understand what it was all about, because it was quite complicated. Clearly not just a spelling bee movie! Haha.

Charlie Wilson's War was the last movie I actually saw in the theatre and it was a matinee and I believe it cost me ~6-6.50. Great movie. The Transformers was great; it reminded me of my childhood. Can't wait for Get Smart and Speed Racer to come out this year!

thanks for the input..i don't believe the movie critics..most of the time I don't always agree with two thumbs up or two thumbs down..by any movie critic.. i have to see the film myself or get a friend whos taste is like mine..but I did see "the last king of scotland" and I like that and I usually like this type of movie about Amin..also Downfall was good as it was about the Downfall of Adolph Hitler told my his private secretary...but it had subtitles.. I watch a lot of movies from all over the world and they all have subtitles..sometimes I like to do this even on American movies as I have problems with my ears and too much noise is bad for my nerves..so i don't like to wear head phones or my hearing aides so i use the sub titles..it is more relaxing to me but sometimes you have to read very fast..lol

The last movie I watched was "Over the Hedge," but I didn't watch it all the way through because I've seen it at least ten times by now. (LOL) I own it, so I can watch it whenever I want. It's a pretty cute movie, but you have to be in the mood, I guess, which wasn't true of this last time I tried to sit down and watch. The last movie I watched all the way through was "Transformers," which is my favorite movie that was made in 2007. I love the Camaro because I own a '96 T-top and so want to trade mine in to buy the new one (even though it's not available yet). I bought two copies of the movie, one for my dad and one for my boyfriend for Christmas because I love it so much. I've seen it twice now. Both the two movies I mentioned I watched in the comfort of my own family room. I don't go to movies too much because I don't have time to make an extra trip out anywhere usually and going to the movies is so expensive nowadays! I usually just end up buying the movie and watching it at home. By the time you rent the movie either you've already paid for half of it. I buy them and if I don't like them, I give them away, trade them in at game/movie stores, or sell them at garage sales. It's all good! Great discussion, Zelo.

Over the Hedge was awesome. I really loved it. It was light and airy and you didn't have to have your thinking cap on for the whole movie. You could just sit back and relax. Transformers, I wasn't sure about that movie. I skipped watching it in the theatre and then I heard how successful it was I had to see it so I saw it the day it came out on DVD. Even my puny surround sound was pounding out the bass in the crashes. It was stunning. And of course the visuals were incredible.

Don't laugh ok! The last film I watched was last Sunday night, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, the latest one with Johnny Depp! I have seen it about three times now! I love the film, I never get bored with it. It's a great family film, with lots of humour and it's a real feelgood, relaxing moving that you just can crash out too, not too much thinking as everyone knows the plot. I bought the dvd cheaply at the local supermarket because I know I will watch it time after time after time! Sad eh!

We rented a movie last week from the movie store called License To Wed. It was a pretty good movie. I had seen the previews on tv when it was in the theater and had wanted to see it but never got to the theater. So when I saw it in the store I got it and rented it.

i haven't seen Underdog and i don't think i want to see it. it seems like for kids only. ^__^;; but my mother actually wanted to watch this before. the last movie i saw was Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and i just so loved it! Johnny Depp was so amazing there and he may not have the fantastic vocals but he sure did make an effective portrayal of an angry and vengeful Mr. Todd. and he sang like a rockstar which was suitable for his character. i loved the singing even if i can't understand some of it because they were singing so fast. ^__^;; i do still remember some of it and i just love the "no one's gonna harm you, no one's gonna hurt you, not when i'm around..." part, and also the "hey sir, you sir, how about a shave? i don't want redemption, i want retribution, i will get revenge.." or something like that, and "I'll steal you joanna, i feel you joanna..", and the song sang by Johnny Depp at the start of the story. ^__^ i love the gore too even if Mr. Todd's blood looked like hot chili at the end of the movie. ^__^;;

I actually watched Underdog last night on the computer while I was working (that's when the 22'' widescreen monitor comes in handy) and it was kinda childish. There weren't many laughs and there was only one very quick glimpse of the throwback Underdog I remember as a kid.

I've actually the last movie I watched in a movie theatre was Pirates of the Carribean 3 and The Devil Wears Prada. And that was a long time ago. I've really been trying to save some money to pay for loans after I finish college. I don't mind borrowing DVDs from the library. (it's free!)

I think that the last movie that I watched was the marine with John Cena...It was a really good movie prob. one of the best movies that I had ever saw...I really do wish that they would make a second part to the marine because like i said it was a really good movie...I watched it at home because I went to blockbuster and bought that movie along with a few others....I think I paid about seven or eight dollars for it but I would have gladly have paid the ten dollars to watch that movie in movie theaters(and if you know me you know that i wont say that very often)

Wow that is one I haven't seen yet. Another wrestler gone actor. I am glad to hear that you liked it, I will definately have it on my list of must-sees. That is the thing about the theatre... if you see something that is just total crap and you go: OK self, you just paid $10 for a ticket $15 on refreshments times two cause I took my significant other... I just paid $50 to watch a piece of junk. I can completely understand how you feel. Then there are movies you watch on DVD and you go sheesh I really would have liked to see this on the big screen. I kinda helped myself out by buying a 50'' plasma TV and hooked it up to my surround sound. I haven't gotten the high-def blu-ray DVD yet so I am still watching at 480p (instead of 1080p) but it is a lot better than watching on my old 27'' tube tv.
