grant: It was the beginning we watched. I thought it was great!

grant: I liked Walk the Line and Fun with Dick and Jane, not seen any of the others though. I haven't had chance to watch any films lately, I'm looking forward to the new Omen film coming out in June though... which reminds me I did watch the new Exorcist, thats a great film.
My kids favourite lately? Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em!! The oldies are still the best! They love Frank Spencer!

I've no idea if we get them before or after you. I can't find a decent site that tells me!

Saw 3? You mean 2?

Does anyone know the date Final Destination 3 is due out?

Tuesday: I always prefer the book, but Stephen King films are about as good as they get for adaptations. I think that has a lot to do with his input when they make the films.

Tuesday: You saw a better film than me then! We watched 1984, its an old one but its the first time I've seen it. I was really looking forward to it because the book is excellent. My partner hadn't read the book, and I had to explain lots of things in the film that didn't make sense unless you had read it, and they downplayed lots of really important stuff, like the newspeak. It was there but not really of any importance. Same as the thought police. A huge part of the book but only a minor part in the film. Instead they concentrated more on their relationship, with lots of gratuitous nudity. I thought the film was awful, read the book instead, much better.

I love mythbusters! I watch it nearly every day. Did you get to see the Christmas special?

Nightstorm: thanks, I will! It might take me a few months to get & watch these but I'll let you know what I think of them. I appreciate all the input.

whatdidyousay: Perfect Storm! Yes, I've heard of that. Thanks, I've listed all these and I'll put them on my list. Cheers!

Rose:

Rose: Thanks Rose, I'll look for those. I like TLJ.

LuckyCat9: Sounds interesting but I was thinking more along the lines of disaster movies with hurricanes and/or twisters, floods etc. Forces of nature.

Can anyone recommend some good films about weather? I know Twister and the Day After Tomorrow but I'm struggling to think of any more Especially ones that are suitable for under 16's too.

Rose: I don't normally watch them, they're not my kind of film and tend to go on and on and on and on......!

Rose: Cheers Rose, my other half likes war films, I'll give this one a try.

I watched that a week or so ago! My kids heard the title and wanted to watch it, luckily I said not until after I've seen it. The answer is 'no'!

Rose: I've seen it, its really different to what I expected, definitely worth a rent - especially if you like Johnny Depp. He's great in it, gives a totally different Willy Wonka than Gene Wilder did. Just don't expect the exact same story if you watch it!

I've just been to see the new Harry Potter film, its brilliant! Go watch it!! Go go go go go now!! Its absolutely fantastic!

Mousetrap: So its worth a rent then? Oh good! It looked good but you never know!

Mousetrap: They do show them now and again on UK Gold and channels like that. A lot of people only like the episodes with the daleks so they get shown the most. You can dip in anywhere though, you don't have to watch it all from the beginning, you could watch the new series without ever having seen any of the old ones.

Mousetrap: You're kidding?! LOL its brilliant! I don't watch much TV and I must admit I wasn't looking forward to the new Dr Who series because I didn't think it could even come close to the old ones, but I did watch it and I was glad! If possible it was even better than the old series, and I'm a huge fan of it, always have been. Tom Baker was 'my' doctor, but I love them all. Christopher Eccleston was an excellent choice. I'm not sure about the new guy who's taking over from him though!

I've seen Mindhunters, thats great! I looked at the descent, but it didn't look that good from the cover. One we did watch that was surprisingly good was Alone in the Dark.

I think it 9 people trapped in a house. It caught my eye when I was at the video shop but I didn't get to look at it properly.
I like Billie Piper, I thought she was great in Dr Who.

Mousetrap: ROFL I know what you mean!! I want to see House of 9, has anyone seen that yet? Or Spirit something... with Billie Piper. Ghost Spirit or something, I forget the title!

Anyone seen any good films? We saw Nanny McFee last weekend, thats excellent!

Mousetrap: Oh fantastic, I'd love to do that! Sounds like great fun and it raises awareness too. Thats really great, I've never seen signed Chrismas carol singers in any town, more clubs should do it!

grant: Excellent film (Jacket). Starts off very weird, but it all gets explained.

Mousetrap: Yes you're right they are easier than you'd imagine.
The first time I ever went to a deaf club I couldn't sign at all, and they had a disco on (thats why I went!)
There were groups of teenagers all signing away and I was fascinated, it was like they were sign dancing! Then years later when I learned sign I found out how great it was.
What always amazes me is the volume of noise in deaf clubs! I think I expected them to be quiet places, but was I wrong! Sing & sign nights are noisier, but its never really quiet.
Do you go regularly? I used to until I moved but they don't have a local one here that I know of.

Mousetrap: Yes, I love it. I also like signed performances at the theatre, its like a whole different play going on at the side of the stage! (With the right interpreter)

I'd probably wait for the DVD, its worth a watch but if you paid to see it you might be disappointed.

I can't wait, I loved Saw.

Has anyone seen Corpse Bride yet? Its really funny!

I'm not normally keen on subtitles either, but honestly almost from the start you're so into the film you don't even notice. They may as well be speaking English. Its very, very moving. Theres not many films I think about for a long time after but that was one, and I'll be watching it again soon.

I know I'm about a year late(!) but I'd be interested to hear what other people thought of 'Passion Of Christ'? I loved it but my partner hated it. What are other peoples opinions and why?

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - go see it! Its great! The new Mr Wonka is very cool!

I agree Summertop, it would have been nice to see more of the alien and less of Tom Cruise!

Maybe thats why, I expected it to be really good! The original was great, so I thought with a bigger budget and the first film to live up to it was going to be brilliant.

I've seen War of the Worlds - not bad but not as good as I'd hoped.

I just watched Hostage with Bruce Willis. Excellent film, definitely worth watching.

I really liked him in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Got me too! Who'd have thunked it?!

Well I saw 'saw' last night What a great film, I enjoyed that one!

Oh well, worth a look then!! I'm looking forward to seeing the remake of War of the Worlds.

Yeah I was trying to remember the name of the Rock - couldn't think of it! Another great one!

I took Summertops recommendation and got The Pacifier, we'll probably watch that this weekend.

I've also got 'Saw' - supposed to be a great horror, anybody seen it? Without giving anything away (I haven't watched it yet!) is it good?!

There aren't many films I'll watch more than once. Con Air, Goodfellas, Cape Fear - those types I will.

I watched a great film last night, its called 'The Frighteners'. Comedy horror, its well worth watching, hilarious!

I just got around to watching Team America - World Police. I thought it was a kids film! The rating is 15 (R?) but the language/content is an 18 in my opinion!

Thats the one! Castaway - I forgot the name!

I just watched Madagascar, brilliant family film, great for the kids! Kind of like the Simpsons where theres jokes only the adults would probably get, but the kids love it too. For example, at one point one of the animals had a basketball with a face drawn on, and he was talking to it - like in the film Shipwrecked, I think it was? Funny film anyway!

Ooh, ooh, you're going to see Pooh's Heffalump Movie?!!

Oh ok, maybe not. Tell us what its like when you've seen Star Wars?! My other half wants to see it.

Hitchikers Guide on the 29th of April?

We saw 'Robots' last night, its a great family film. The kids loved it and we enjoyed it too.
