Movie List

Well for this weekend:

1)Fahrenheit 9/11 - $21 mil - in only 868 Theaters!
2)White Chicks - $19 mil - in 2726 Theaters

Anyway, I watch the movie stats a lot since I play on a site called HSX - which you buy/sell stocks to movies to increase/decrease your profolio - and I wish I would have bought more stock in Fahrenheit 9/11 since no one really thought it would do that good in so few theaters.

I highly recommend this film. It received a spontaneous standing ovation in a conversative southern town where I watched it yesterday. Those who see it will not be disappointed.

So far, Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has took in between $8.2 million to $8.4 million in it's first day, positioning it to be the #1 movie.

"White Chicks" took in about $1.5 million LESS the Fahrenheit 9/11 to place it second.

What makes those numbers if more remarkable is that Fahrenheit 9/11 opened in just 868 theaters - fewer then a third the number for the movie White Chicks!

Well done Niki. You are correct.

Mr Bean himself... Rowan Atkinson :o)

lol

Spare me LOL

I guess they are going to show Reagan movies and Bio on TV soon

What actor is in all of these movies?

Four Weddings and a Funeral
Hot Shots! Part Deux
Never Say Never Again
Rat Race
Scooby Doo

Do you have people borrow your movies? I do. I have so many that I developed a Palm program to track what movies I have and who has which movie. I even post my DVD list on my web site (www.summertop.com). Sorry, good people of BK, I don't ship and I don't loan them out to people I don't know.

Well I never had cable/satilite TV until recently - so I would buy a lot of pre-views movies from Blockbuster (or other stores), so I have slowly built up a collection of over 1,000 VHS tapes, and now about 250 DVD. BUT recently we got satilite TV, so now I rarely watch any of my movies - and will probable start trying to sell many of the VHS movies soon since I don't watch them.

Yeah, it is about hockey. 1000 movies? What is it, the BBW video store? I have over 200 hundred DVD's and countless videos, but not 1000 worth. Are you like me...STILL nothing to watch? LOL.

Mystery, Alaska - is that about hocky? I believe that is one of the movies I own (I have over 1,000) - but it's been a long time since I watched it.

Has anyone seen this movie? I watched it last night. I kinda like it. Not a blockbuster but very entertaining.

I thought Generations was great. Sometimes heroes die. It would be so "artificial" if important people could not die. Spock died in Startrek 2. Data died in Nemesis. Picard's clone died too.

What are your thoughts on Nemesis. I found Picard's clone to be Extremely wasteful of time. He knew his condiction was time dependent. He had 2 missions. Do the blood transfusion and destroy Earth. He Jacked around the whole time till it was way too late.

Worse was Generations(Kirk Dies)

Oh Great. A Trekkie.

Let me just say I agree with you Lord of the Rings People. The Trilogy is a Masterpiece in so many ways.

That said, Most fans of star trek like the original series and star trek iv: the voyage home.
I did not see much of the original series to get attached to it. I like the Voyager Series best of all. The technology is sophisticated, the dialogue is intriguing, there is a lot of depth in the scenarios and who does not love Seven of Nine.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage home was great, but I much prefer VI: the undiscovered country. There is playful yet serious exchange of dialogue. Beyond that the artistic intention is unique and creative.

Worst ST movie: ST V the final frontier.

Classic Star Trek and and Star Trek V : The Voyage home

"Media Play" by my house stayed open till midnight. At midnight they started selling the movie.

Yeah it is coming out today! We have reserved a copy at the vid store today to buy. Today only they are selling it with the trilogy box for all 3 movies for only 20 bucks! You know what we are watching tonite!

I'm a fan. I love the books. I think the movies are very well done.

Any fans here?
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King comes out tomorrow!

Trekkie in da House!
Are there any Trekkies here?

Voyager Second Season is out. I got the first season. I found it to be short. Could have done with two more episodes. There were no outtakes. Some outtakes would have been cool. And of course no Seven of Mine. I guess she does not arrive till the 3rd season.

Two Star Trek questions.
Which series is the best and which movie was the best?

That said, let's talk current box office.
Saw Shrek 2. It was good. Solid performance by Pinochio and Donkey.

Troy. Solid performance by our boy, Brad Pitt. Man, Archilles had style. Didn't quite like how he ended though. Our boy Orlando put some serious arrows in him.

Van Helsing. Wolverine did well but the whole story was weak almost like Hellboy. The action is there but the movie was empty.

Wurd.
HB.

I suppose most of them got a touch of the prima donna about them. I don't like Bruce Willis very much though. I don't fancy them very often just once in a while one tickles my fancy

They all do in the public eye though! you cant tell by Bruse WIllis'interviews that he's not always so friendly..
btw I think kilmer is hot too!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww he seemed quite nice when I saw him interviewed on TV the other day :o(

lilac from what I have read about Kilmer is he might be drop dead gorgeous but I guess he is really hard to work with and directors nor actors wanna work with him. TOo bad, he's got mega talent!

I'm your Huckleberry

LOL

With Val Kilmer, he can leave his boots under my bed any day at all :0)

At the start of this movie, you hear the voice of the Prime Minister, played by Hugh Grant, narrating:

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world,
I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.

General opinions starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed,
but I don't see that.

Seems to me that love is everywhere.

Often it's not particualary dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there.

Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

When the planes hit the Twin Towers,
as far as I know,
none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge.

They were all messages of love.

If you look for it,
I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that loveactually...Is all around."


After sobbing for a bit...I went on to enjoy a movie, written and directed by Richard Curtis....who is brilliant, charming, witty, and profound.

The cast is superlative...and the soundtrack awesome.

a very strange and very cool movie The Triplets of Belleville...
The whole family will love this DVD...and I can't get the song 'Belleville Rendez-vous' out of my head...If you get the DVD, watching the music video, in the special features section, is a must!

I really liked this movie..

The Rock is ruggedly handsome....and the man can ACT!! I predict he will go far in the acting field.

And any movie with Christopher Walken is just a treat.

My creepy apt. building owner won't put cable in..
soooooo...at least with Netflix, I am slowly going to be able to watch cable shows...Just finished the first 2 shows of 'Taken'....so cool.

Ewwwwwwwwwww I wont be watching that then! Id have nightmares for weeks! LOL

Passion will be in France - French courts refuse to ban the movie even though many people wanted it banned. (I believe it is playing.... now, or in the next few days/weeks)

O M G .....I screamed so loud that my cats scattered...several times!

Better acting all around...but not for the squeamish, or faint of heart.

Two chainsaws...WAY UP!

Is it true that France may be banning the movie PASSION OF THE CHRIST?

I have Netflix, and it arrives today!!!

The acting has GOT to be better in this one...I miss grand-pa...sigh

No have you???? I saw the first one and that was pretty gorey hahahhaa

Who's seen the re-make?

If any parent or guardian has a child around this age, especially one who shows signs of trouble.
I highy recomend this film.
It was concieved, and co-writen, by a very young, Niki Reed. Who also stars as the troubled Evie Zamora.
The film centers around 'Tracey', played by Evan Rachel Wood (other film includes 'The Missing' as the kidnaped daughter), and how she falls, willingly, under the wrong influence of Evie.
Holly Hunter is superb as the Mom.
And Jeremy Sisto is very good as the 'half-way house junkie boyfriend' of the mom.

17 yr. olds can be admitted to an 'R' rated movie. And HERE are the age guidelines.

yep we do have ratings,but they seem to be different to yours, 18 is for adults

Lots of violence, blood, gore, sexual content.
But as an adult, nothing I couldn't handle.
The 'hard part' for me to handle was the betrayal.
But that was a big part of the story line.
Don't you have 'rateings' in England?

Whats 'R' rating, Cole?

I just saw this on DVD...WOW....didn't catch on to what the ending would be til darn near the ending!
Which is exactly how I like my thrillers!
Hallie Berry is wonderfulin her role.
And the plot is superb. Rated 'R'

I saw written somewhere on one of these boards that Bitter Moon is not available on DVD, but I came across this this morning.

Bitter Moon - Region 1 DVD - NEW & SEALED
£4.99 - 7d 09h 06m

Oh nice one Cole, I've just bought Bitter Moon off ebay, I have seen it but would like to watch it again. I shall look out for the Missing, I like Tommy too ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes indeedy I do. hehehhee

No I didn't watch the bonus disk. I agree that it was a well made movie. I had heard it was "Really Good". I felt like I was left hanging at the end. I also had a hard time believing in some of the characters. It was a good movie. Just not as good as I was expecting.

One of his best works was playing Gary Gillmore in the made for TV movie The Executioners Song.

Oooooo, Summertop, I have to dissagree...Watch it again...Really good movie...did you watch the bonus disq? Good stuff there.

Tommy Lee Jones is one of my favorite actors. I thought he did a good job in "The Missing", but I was disappointed in the movie itself.
