i prefer Vampires the way they are portrayed in the TV show Supernatural evil bloodthirsty villians not as lovestruck teenagers

I get tired of the evil villain depiction.

Nice to see something else for a change.

Just saw Bolt, too. Not bad. Probably not an all-time Pixar classic but an ok movie.

I have an 8 year old and see mostly kid movies. Not a lot of free time for daddy.

I'd recommend Stardust to those who missed it when it was released last year.

Oh, Stardust is nice! ^_^

Gah! I still haven't seen all of that! I only got half-way through.

Burn after reading is a brilliant movie by the Coen brothers. It's a rather black comedy, and I was laughing constantly. And the actors did so well..

I really do recommend that movie if you like black comedy. It's one of the best movies I've seen in a long, long time..

Might go see it again with my sisters. I did enjoy it, although I'm not sure I would actually call it a "good movie"

.

I pretty much agree, Tessar. I don't think I would call it "good", but I enjoyed it.

The vampire is a wonderful thing, in my book. Such an evocative image symbolising so many things that repel and attract mankind. However, the standard run-of-the-mill-angsty-conflicted-existential vampire that has dominated the public imagination since Anne Rice is pretty dumb. I do have to say, they just make me want to roll my eyes like crazy.

Ah, much better.

I actually agree with you, too. I had a long chat with one of my friends before I went to see Twilight about how the story totally misses the point of what it means to be a vampire. I still enjoy pretty much any vampire story though, unless it's seriously stupid.

Australia, on Thanksgiving night for some reason. It was good, definitely looked amazing.

Saw Milk tonight. Pretty good, but not actually as good as some of the reviews make it out to be.

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 12-07-2008, 10:59 AM

Saw Prince Caspian. Good effects, an alright plot.

I saw it on Sunday night. I had fun, but I wouldn't call it a good movie. Mostly had fun because we had the entire theater to ourselves (except for a couple way back in the far corner), snuck in beer, put our feet up on the chairs in front of us, and more or less made fun of the movie.

I think it would be decent, if it had ended earlier. The scene where the Drover comes to the dance and is going to take care of Faraway Downs for her, and they dance, and the camera pans up: that is where the credits should have rolled. It would have been much more unified. All this extra stuff tacked on was rather episodic.

But the best part of the movie, by far, was Nullah. It would have been simply dreadful without him, but he made it enjoyable.

Evil Santa · 12-09-2008, 11:14 PM

Yeah, that's the problem with movies these days. Too much stuff packed into one movie. Spider Man 3 had this problem especially.
