War for the planet of the apes is a good movie.
I watched Black Panther, Ragnarok,Wonder Woman,Dunkirk..
Spiderman Homecoming...
Anyone seen these movies ?
Totally agree!the sequels were useless..the first one was all the movie,inception also had something of matrix but at the end director could be better..
THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy is on the top of my Best Movies Ever Made list. They are almost perfect.
GODFATHER I and GODFATHER II are also excellent movies (the third one is an abomination)
THE MATRIX (I've only ever bothered to watch the first one) is on the top of my list of Over Rated Cinematic Crap. (I don't care how fancy the special effects are, the story, acting and dialogue are just poop.)
It is followed very closely by anything with STAR WARS in the title.
As for the Godfather I would agree that the third part is bad...I can appreciate the acting and cinematography, I just don't get it.
The Matrix is one of those movies that is pretty wooden really,but it is a popcorn flick,it was never really meant to challenge you mentally, I thought it actually opened a few doors to tell a much better story in the next films,but they are shit.... so as a stand alone movie it's just a popcorn flick,it did change the special effects in movies,a lot of the techniques used in The Matrix ended up being used in LOTR.
Did you ever make it to the movie theater to see whatever it was that you were going to see on your birthday? I am not a movie person so I do not recall the name, I just remember that when I Google'd it to see what it was about, I saw it was long, really long.....
I've also seen it since I posted that comment. It was fun! Dr. Strange was also a good time. Looking forward to Guardians Vol. 2!!! Marvel keeps putting out good comic-based films.
I just finished watching a movie called "A Serbian Film". Link here: only registered users can see external links
I'm 100% sure everyone that watches it will agree it's the most fucked up movie they've ever seen. I can't decide if i've seen worse yet. It's pretty close.
Another good one I watched called "The Snowtown Murders". It's about two Aussie serial killers that kill ****philes, homosexuals & rapists. It's a true story. Link here: only registered users can see external links
One of my favorite movies me & Lix watched just last weekend called "American Psycho". It's about a psycho-sociopathic serial killer named Patrick Bateman that goes around killing anyone & everyone. Made in 2000 but set in the late 80's. I won't post the link, but you can look it up on the site I posted those last two movies.
we watched weekend at bernies, aussie never seen it before, and then we or maybe just me, watched the dressmaker, its an aussie film and l liked it..missed the end..as l do with most movies..but what l did see l really liked *lix*
By a strange and spooky coincidence (see music chat) the Norwegian film Troll Hunter is on Film4 channel here in UK tonight. I have seen it - very good, and the last Troll is a big one!
I actually prefer movies to not have sex scenes. I know what sex looks like, and, in a non-porn movie, they just waste time that could be better spent on story/character building.
That wasn't the question Mister
But taking on board your view,what if the sex scene is integral to the character development of the movie? have you got a favourite sex/lovemaking scene ?
Have to agree with bella!, "It's a Wonderful Life" is a timeless classic. But a good laugh at Christmas is good as well, so a dose of Clark Griswold is always on at some point at our Christmas. only registered users can see external links
It's on tv Christmas eve afternoon, 2ish. Glenn Miller Story next week too. All our favourite musicals are on over the hols. Set your recorders UK people
Will Ferrell annoys the crap out of me.
It's not a movie, but I am a huge fan of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." (The animated Chuck Jones directed/Boris Karloff narrated version, not the Jim Carrey abomination.)
I like Elf though,most of his other movies are hit and miss for me..
I haven't seen the Grinch movie you mention..something for me to look out for in the future...
Dr Seuss, I probably have used his quotes over and over without ever realising it....
“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”
True story:
My oldest nephew loved that book. He asked that it be read to him almost every night at bedtime. By the time he was five, I'd read it to him so many times that I'd committed the entire thing to memory...word for word...and no longer needed the book in hand.
A few years later, while at the local library, he mentioned to the librarian that I had memorized his favorite Seuss book, and she asked me if I would be willing to come to the library's Christmas party and recite it for the k*ds.
It went over quite well, and has become an annual tradition that I look forward to each year.
That's a great story that has evolved into a tradition.
In my blog, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, I mentioned to sherryann that my oldest nephew LOVED that story. At bedtime, he would select a book or two that he wanted to hear read to him. He didn't care whether it was February,June, October or December, he often selected 'Twas The Night Before Christmas and also committed the words to memory. Seems like one hundred years ago, a Christmas Eve gathering at my s!ster's, my nephew was just 3, he sat on the hearth with the book in his hand and began "reading" the words he had heard so many times before.....the book was upside-down.
A Christmas Carol. I don't have a favorite. I like every version of that story. I think it's the greatest Christmas story ever written. Well, the Christmas Box is sorta okay also.
I watched Black Panther, Ragnarok,Wonder Woman,Dunkirk..
Spiderman Homecoming...

AMERICAN GODS is really damn good!
Cant wait to see part 3

I do like the scene in 8 mile where Brittany Murphy takes Eminem for a quickie at work...
Elf cracks me up

Have you seen it, is it shown in the UK?
Like JustWill said ,James Stewart,brilliant actor...my fav of his has to be the Glenn Miller story...
