harley: Some do but some war flicks are really worth a watch. Saving private Ryan for one (tissue film tho for sure) Even the 'we were soldiers'(Mel Gibson) is a good one for folks who arent war movie crazy!

harley: YOU wont be dissapointed at all. We rented that and the new one 'Great Raid'. By far saints an soldiers was the better or the two.

A surprise hit (in my books)is the new movie 'Saints and Soldiers' out on DVD not long ago. No big names in it but definitely worth a rental if you like any type of war movie

grant: Crash with Sandra Bollock and Don Cheadle? well done movie!

hotmommy22: We rented it Friday night. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Will see it again it was so good!
I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it!

Has any one seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yet? I'm really iffy on renting it as I haven't heard anything one way or the other on it.

Summertop: My neighbour went to see it and said it wasnt very good either. Said the original is still the best!

MagicDragon: I was hoping judd got the boot. I soo don't like him! Too bad Brian got kicked. Hard to say who is going to take it eh!

MagicDragon: You didn't like the Day after Tomorrow? whoaaaaa I thoroughly enjoyed it for its entertainment value! Great effects!

MagicDragon: it did well. AND it is still in the new releases at block buster

MagicDragon: YOU'VE got to see I before seeing II... Great movie!

harley: Sound advice hun. tanks!

harley: We were going to wait for C bride to come out on DVD, wasnt sure about it. So it is good eh?

ya on SAW II. Looks scarier than the first one! Finally a good movie that makes ya jump!

Just saw a trailer for SAW II.. WHOA! looks good!

whatdidyousay: I've yet to catch supernatural or surface but everyone is saying they are good. I may wait for em to go on DVD like I did with the 24 seried. Hadn't seen a single episode until this summer. Watched em all within 3 weeks.. whewww!

BIG BAD WOLF: My name is Earl is hilarious! I love that show!

whatdidyousay: hehehe for sure! LOL too kool thanks for that!

Bluesday: I was surprised to hear about the final season.. but i dont know how well its been doing the last few years..
Im surprised ER is still going after 11 seasons. One original cast mate in the show left and she left and came back after 5 years!

Lovable Bloke: Great board for TV an movie nuts (like me!)

SueQ: We got in to 24 this summer when nothing but reruns were on.. We rented all 3 seasons with in 3 weeks ( bugged eyed rose ) I never watched a single episode when it was on TV but wow it is good!

nobleheart: 'Dead like me' isnt new, just new to Showcase or Bravo, who ever is showing it in Ca. I saw both seasons on DVD this past spring and summer. Awesome series. Too bad they cancelled it after only 2 season.

MagicDragon: This hour got really popular when collin mochery (sp)starred in it. Pretty funny humour tho.

MagicDragon: I forgot how close you are to the Ca/US border! Next time I am in Windsor I will wave at you!

MagicDragon: You get CBC? far out lol I thought only us Canadians were subject to that! lol

MagicDragon: Not sure about Whisperer, just read the show info on cbs.com a few mins ago. Lotta new shows to check out, most wont make it as usual I assume. There is a new one on nbc that might be worth a laugh "my name is earl" If you are a Dogma fan or Kevin Smith fan you'll recognize Jason Lee

nobleheart: Right and the boards purpose here is to discuss shows, movies etc.. not to dis what other people like to watch. We are trying to keep it a pleasant board not a negative one.

nobleheart: a really life? or did you mean reality?

MagicDragon: Do you watch the Amazing race too? It premieres next week I think

MagicDragon: Yup all geared up to catch survivor tonite in about an hour! Should be good!

BIG BAD WOLF: When is Mythbusters slated to start new shows? I'M soo tired of the reruns on Discovery. Love that show!

R.I.P Bob Denver

harley: I'd like to hear opinions also. We didnt get it only because it is in arabic and I really dont enjoy subtitles. I heard it was very moving tho

nobleheart: yup that is pretty much what my reply to you said

nobleheart: This is what I came up with:

Foghorn Leghorn is a large animated rooster appearing in numerous Warner Brothers cartoons. He first appeared in 1946 in a Henery Hawk film entitled Walky Talky Hawky. Foghorn Leghorn is considered a significant Looney Tunes character, whose sidekick/nemesis was The Barnyard Dog. Many of the gags involved Leghorn and the dog trying to outdo and punish each other.

His voice was created by actor Mel Blanc, heavily patterned after the character of Senator Claghorn, a blustering southern politician who was a regular character on the Fred Allen radio show. Senator Claghorn was created and voiced by radio comedian Kenny Delmar. Foghorn Leghorn used a number of Claghorn's catch phrases, like "That's a joke... I say, that's a joke, son". The references to Senator Claghorn were obvious to much of the audience when the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons first premiered, but like many of the references in WB cartoons of the era, they have since become dated and "go over the heads" of most modern-day audiences.

A leghorn is a breed of chicken, and foghorn describes the character's loud, overbearing voice. At its most raucous, it sounds similar to Blanc's Yosemite Sam.

Summertop: yes, we rented it when it first came to DVD. We found it humourous as well. Worth the price of a rental for sure!

Not much worth renting in the new release category this week or next. Sahara is out the 30th but from what I hear, again no blockbuster.

harley: Darn cool aliens in the basement tho eh? WOW and Summertop is right, that qucik 3 minute explanation at the end was a lil lame. I figure its cuz as usual they go over their time on movies an hve to cut something out so they take out what they think is least important.

harley: really? I was wowed by it. I didn't expect it to be that good. I guess after seeing some b rated flicks of the story this one was wayyy better. Its funny how everyone views things differently!

harley: Yea not so bad eh! I was surprised by it a little as well

Saw War of the Worlds, The Island and Fantastic Four this weekend. Really wowed by the first two!

Pedro Martínez: I think Oliver stone had a good idea with Alexander but what it felt like was they filmed 6 hours and cropped it down to 3. It was so haphazard and didn't flow well at all. I was disappointed myself. I was expecting a sweeping epic and it fell flat.

BIG BAD WOLF: How do we prove we went to the films? DO we need the ticket?
I saw two of em in theatres but certainly cant prove it!


Anyone seen Alexander yet? Want to hear what others thought of it, just saw it last nite.

Pedro Martínez: Yes that site is amazing. I can sit here an think to my self "I wonder what movies Kevin Kline has done lately"I go to IMDB an blam I get my info. That site is kool especially for listing up coming movies that are in production.

Lamby: No problem at all. I use imdb.com to find out tons of info on movies, actors, what films actors are releasing soon etc. It's a great site.
For instance you're watching a movie and say 'Hey I've seen that actor in something before but can't think of what" So you go to IMDB.com, check out the movie u just saw, it lists the actors by character name, then you click onthe actor and see what movies they have done. It's a great kool!

Lamby: Check out the reviews on the film.. Gives you an idea how it is going over with folks
http://imdb.com/title/tt0367594/externalreviews

Just saw a Korean movie called Tae Guk Gi (called brotherhood of war in Canada) Pretty amazing movie and worth a rental for sure. Dubbed and/or subtitled in English.

harley: Glad u liked it.. quite a twist to it eh? Got me
