Discussing favorite movies is a great topic but keep in mind some folks haven't seen the movie yet we may be discussing so don't give the endings away!

We saw Wallace and Gromit Friday night and I must say it was rather funny.
And, Clooney gave just about the best acceptance speech I have heard in years.
Fell asleep before the best actress and best movie were presented so had to catch up this morning!
I was disappointed by Wallace & Gromit victory (I was supporting "Corpse Bride") but "Crash" was the best of the 5 nominees and it's victory was the best decision the Oscars made in the last years.
Tuesday: A few of the dogs did not survive. Most did. I won't tell which ones...
There were a few bleak moments in the movie. but, there were also some triumphant moments too. Overall, I would say the movie ended on a positive note.
If you like the originals, you'll love this remake. Steve Martin did an outstanding job. Even my wife, who doesn't normally like this types of movies, could help laughing. There were some scenes that were absolutely hillarious. It was refreshing to have a comedy that didn't sink to the "Toilet" humor...well, except the "Sound Booth" scene!
Has anyone else seen this movie. My wife loved it. I thought it was a good movie, but not great. I found the dog's behavior somewhat unbelievable. I also found the "Misery" of Jerry Shepard to drag out for the whole six months. However, the acting (Paul Walker, Bruce Greenwood, Moon Bloodgood, and Jason Biggs) was well done. The dog training was excellent. It was a well made movie that I will buy when it comes out on DVD.
I was just watching Fawlty Towers on BBC America. First time in ten years and I don't think I have laughed as hard at anything in those ten years. Man, that humor is classic.
furbster: Saw, saw2 and it was very good IF you are in to gore. And youre right furbster, mega opening for his 'apprentice'. That was a shocking twist.. Well done.
Rented Flight Plan (Jodie Foster) and Doom (The Rock) Both worth the rental and was quite surprised. I didnt expect to like Flight Plan but had a few unexpected twists to it and DOOM, although taken from a vid game wasnt too bad. (If you dont like gore, dont rent it!)
Anyone watch the Grammys last nite? I guess it is more about the entertainment then the awards these days.. all they did was list who won what in between each performer..
harley: But, but but.. when I went to IMDb an typed it in, it only showed me the first two.. hmmmmmm how interesting!!
I take it mister jigsaw doesn't bite the dust in #2 hahaha
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.
grant: Saw Red Eye when It came out a week or so ago. Worth the rental for sure. Not bad. Typical ending tho.
Four Brothers as well is worth the rental. Not great acting by Marky Mark. But then again in all his roles he plays a brooding, soft voiced bad boy doesnt he? lol
there's a decent selection out from monday including cinderella man (russel crowe as jj braddock), red eye (a good thriller, woman is forced to put senators life at risk to save her father!) ,the business (the rise and fall of some english gangsters in spain) and four brothers (revenge story with mark wahlberg) haven't seen four brothers yet but rest are all worth a watch and are better than most of the stuff thats been released recently.
Tuesday: Actually it is being canceled because of lack of ratings. NBC was willing to deal with the controversy, but was unwilling to do with the lack of ratings.
I thought it was a pretty good show - I hope they air the remaining episodes somewhere (like on one of NBC's cable stations)
