Movies you've just seen (Pt. II) - Page 43

Sorry...Eddie Izzard and Tom Wilkinson might have been enough to convince me to watch a movie with Tom Cruise in it...but a movie with Tom Cruise wearing an eyepatch? That'd take Anthony Hopkins!

I'm watching Narnia, the BBC-series. I like it sofar, though the casting of the children is a bit awkward. I love the White Witch though

And the house of the Beavers is so cute! The make up of the beavers as well by the way. They did a pretty good job

LOL! Rian, you're a pill

. That's hilarious.

Had you ever seen them before?

shesabrandybuck · 01-08-2009, 06:47 PM

I saw the Curious Case of Benjamin Button last weekend, it was fabulous. I was bawling, seriously bawling at the end of it, but everyone was so it was okay

. Go see it!!

BeardofPants · 01-08-2009, 07:09 PM

Y'know, there were bits I really liked about that movie, but overall, it didn't do anything for me; mostly I think cos there really wasn't any chemistry between Cate Blanchett & Brad Pitt (IMO).

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-08-2009, 07:14 PM

I'm with you, BoP. Emotionally and dramatically, it didn't really work for me. One reviewer described it as little more than Forrest Gump by way of Dorian Gray, which I think more or less gets at the heart of the matter.

Slumdog, on the other hand...

No. I got to episode 3 yesterday and there are lots of things I like, but also a few things I don't really like.

b.banner · 01-09-2009, 02:44 PM

the Lucy in those BBC versions is a very bad miscast

**Mari** · 01-09-2009, 02:48 PM

I totally agree with you there. And I hardly see an age difference between Peter and Edmund. If anything, Edmund looks older >_<

I thought the whole thing was fabulous.

***Tessar*** · 01-09-2009, 08:16 PM

I just saw Death at the Funeral, and it was hilarious!!!! British-style comedy always gets me, and of course Alan Tudyk was hysterical as ever

.

The only thing that bothered me was the moral message of the final 'speech' that was given. It didn't reflect how the father had ACTUALLY lived his life, IMO, and it was pretty skewed, morally speaking.

Still, a hilarious movie that I may end up buying

.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-10-2009, 04:24 PM

I saw the preview; it looked funny.

tolkienfan · 01-17-2009, 11:13 AM

Just saw Pan's Labyrinth last night, can't believe I didn't see it before! I mainly watched it to get an idea of the director (who is directing the Hobbit). It was really good, and not what I was expecting at all. It never became boring or predictable either.

nasuada · 01-17-2009, 12:49 PM

I just saw Wall.e recently, it was way better then i thought it would be.

**Mari** · 01-17-2009, 01:13 PM

It's cute, isn't

***Earniel*** · 01-17-2009, 02:16 PM

Yes, 'Wall.E' was a cute film. I liked what they could do with the limited dialogue.

Saw 'the Hulk' (new movie). Meh, I'm suppose that's the best they could do with a big green thing that smashes all the rest...

Saw 'The Secret of Roan Inish', one of the sweetest, loveliest fairy tales I have seen in a very long time.

He was there when I watched Pan's Labyrinth; the closest theater showing it was in Westlake Village, which is apparently where he lives, so he fielded questions afterwards. It was pretty cool.

I also recommend the Devil's Backbone, for further Guillermo del Toro viewing.

b.banner · 01-17-2009, 07:41 PM

an old 80's movie called "The Breakfast Club" it was pretty good

Yes, that's a wonderful little film- highly recommend it.
