:p

Each to their own, of course. But I'd have to be tied into a chair to be made to watch that. :D

I'm watching...um...the...um...The Music Man at the moment.

LOL!!!

I have my excuses. I was an impressionable young teenager when the show started and ultimately I blame my hormones and youth for my love affair with SATC, of course now I'm older I really don't have any excuses at all... but that's not the story I'm sticking to!!! ;)

In all seriousness, if you loved the show, you'll love the film but from the sounds of it Hoopy, you're not a lover of the show!!!

Apparently, I'll be watching 3:10 to Yuma later tonight so we'll see how that goes.

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)

Good movie with some really impressive special effects. I think being black and white might actually have been an advantage here because the merger of the real footage and the over sized sets/props is great. What was suprising is that if you put aside why he's shrinking there's also a fairly decent storyline that holds up well right to the end.
 
The fam went to Kung Fu Panda yesterday. It was awesome! We loved it. The theater was sold out and folks applauded at the end. The only disappointing thing about it was the lack of lines for Jackie Chan. he's one of the reasons I was drawn to the movie int he first place.

If i'm not mistaken the film is based on a book by Murray Leinster,or is it Jack Williamson?
 
No Country for Old Men - Loved the characters and Javier Bardem was awesome! But the ending was sort of anticlimactic...though it leaves much to ponder...which is good. I'm now half a mind to check out Cormac McCarthy's novel.


One Missed Call - Usual Hollywood supernatural thriller. Final Destination, The Ring, The Eye etc. etc. They kind of all look the same to me, nothing special nor original. Boring repetitive crap. I forced myself to watch it only to spend a few minutes with my family (they like this sort of films :)).

Cheers, DeepThought

Richard Matherson, who also did the conversion to screenplay so no wonder the film seems to gel so well together as a whole.
 
Currently watching Kung Fu Hustle. Been meaning to watch this for a while. It's very good -- very over the top and amusing.
 
Watched Cloverfield and National Treasure book of secrets last night.

I thought National Treasure was great, and Cloverfield OK.

Thanks for reading my indepth reviews.;)
 
Saw this totally over the top "SF/Fant with boatloads of masala" Indian film called Dashavataram (10 Avatars). Indian actor Kamalahaasan essays 10 roles here with the help of prosthetic make-up effects. It's full of all kinds of plotholes but that only serves to make the goofy fast-paced proceedings all the more enjoyable.

For those interested in this stuff, My detailed review
 
Watched Juno on Friday - found it quirky and charming and really enjoyed it
 
Yesterday I was home from school because of the teacher's strike, so I watched Elizabeth and The Last Samurai.
 
Drillbit Taylor with Owen Wilson.

Thought it was pretty good, but i'm easily amused:D
 
Komodo vs Cobra after seeing some CGI monsters on the ad breaks I tried to watch this one but seriously it's about as dire as they come. Instead I ended up flicking to watch some more of The Usual Suspects and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I think I've posted recently about both movies (they're doing the rounds on pay tv) by contrast The Usual Suspects is such an incredibly good movie and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has some good laughs.
