MMMMMMMMMMM, Dream girls. got my interest already...

Jack, I know you love music, and yo uwill like this, not because of your pecker, but because of the music. there has been very few Musicals done on film. Sadly Live musicals on DVD where not part of them. (read andrew loyd weber) and then see his musicals live.

Stephen

Is it a musical? My wife likes em.

I mini-reviewed "Rent" here on this thread. Thats a musical. Umm not for everyone. People who object to gays would hate it. The movie could be seen to "defend" these life styles although I do not think it does. But for me the musical worked because those people are people I ran imnto in real life in the East Village.

It kinda is Rondo, It follows the careers of three black singers in the fifties. It's a good movie IMHO. They do alot of singing, but It's not quite a musical like Hello Dolly or Oklahoma.

I've not seen Dream Girls but I think it's more like Ray or that movie on Johnny Cash. Not a musical but with music in it.

Dang Rondo, you and my wife are a match made in a movie theater. I think you rival her as far as "movie watching" goes.

I went and saw Ocean's 13 this weekend. It wasn't nearly half as good as the other two. It was missing that "something" that made the other two pretty good.

Like a semi sensical plot?

First one was great, second was OK, this one was just kinda... dumb.

It's what you get when Clooney, Pitt, and Damon and others are business partners in real life, I kid you not. You thought it was coincidence that a lot of the films has at least two of the bunch?

They pressure the Hollywierd bigwigs into accepting one or more of the bunch, as a matter of fact, Matt Damon owes his first big chance to Brad, who told the execs about him. They were friends before that happened. I'm not knocking friends looking out for each other, but in films it does get old. I mean, when did Matt deserve an Oscar? Brad for that matter too...

Some "series" just run of of gas. Star Trek had quite a run. It too has run out of gas.

The "Oceans" series was already "old" since it was a remake of the old Rat pack stuff back in the 1960's. Of course any rumors or realities that these actors actually deal with each other in the real world would only help the movie since the original Rat Pack film was pretty much made to capitalize on the very real life friendship (and professional association) of former Bogartians Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin and Joey Bishop (plus a few more.

These guys got their start hanging out with the older Humphry Bogart when he was dating Lauren Becall. Rumor has it she actually named them.

Rondo my friend, You have to see Apocolypto, the Gibson film. Denny and I just watched it on a whim today, and man what a powerful film.

I won't mention any spoilers, except to say, His name is Jaguar paw, and Little girls who give prophesies, They are scary.

Yeah I saw Apocolypto as well, very good film. I also recommend Shooter to both of you, it was a very good film and worth the cost of a rental.

Sirgod · « **Reply #69 on:** July 09, 2007, 02:50:21 pm »

What's Shooter about Javora? I'll keep an eye out for it on PPV.

Tomorrow, I'll be checking out the Astronaut farmer, and Come back wit ha review for you guys. Heh, Today is Movie day, Finishing Hannible Rising, then Bridge to Taribithia, then Pan's Labyrinth.

It's about a sniper who is framed for attempting to assassinate the President. He tries to find the people who set him up while running from the law. It stars Mark Wahlberg, he also played in The Departed. Check it out if you get a chance.

Hexx · « **Reply #71 on:** July 09, 2007, 07:05:01 pm »

Yeah- must say I had very low expectations for Shooter and was completely surprised.
Actually is a pretty decent film

Is this PPV? I can't get any of that stuff yet. Well, Pan's labyrinth.

I hate going to Blockbuster and Hollywood.

Well I watched The Devil Wears Prada last night. Not because I "rented it" or had "planned" to watch it... but becasue I was flipping through channels and stopped on it for 5 minutes. Before I knew it, I had watched the whole thing.

I never "bothered" to plan that movie in my schedule, as I had always thought it was a dark comedy about the devil running a magazine. But after about 20 mins, I turn to my wife and go "I thought she was supposed to be Satan and this was supposed to be a comedy". Nope. She's "the boss from hell" in a figurative sense.

Overall, I must say I enjoyed the movie.

I want to watch Apocolypto (sp), but feel that I need to be "in the mood" to watch it, and haven't been in the mood to watch it I guess.

oh well, 300 comes out at the end of the month. Woot.

The Bar-Abbas Anomaly · « **Reply #74 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:20:18 pm »

I caught Apocolypto on the boat while on vacation last week, and I thought it was excellent! I didn't quite know what to expect going into it, but I was very impressed with what it turned out to be.

Warning: It is quite brutal and graphic at points, so be prepared. Also, did anyone else catch the 'Head Cam' shot at the top of the temple...?

No worries there I saw it onthe big screen.

An impressive movie. To say the least.

Ok the SUMMER IS IN FULL SWING...

On the big screen..

Fantastic Four, The Rise of The Silver Surfer...It wasn't as good as the first movie but these characters do come alive. It was a bit of a cop out though for I read those original comic books about this saga. Like most movies that deal with remakes of print it was a composite but really I think there was too much of an omission here. Without spoilers I won't go on.

Harry Potter...Execellent! The best HP yet. Saw it with my daughter. I don't usually like the HP movies but this one really was good. I guess this is the last one but it actually had me wanting to see more. Maybe there will be more.

Bridge to Terabithia...Sad but very good. A tear jerker. This movie hits ya unexpectedly so if your not in the mood for a tear jerker avoid.

I thought it was really good, I swear the CGI gets better with every movie now. I'm glad I watched that one in the theater.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who teared up with this movie. And I read the book way (way, way) back when I was in 4th grade. The movie stayed pretty close to the book, if you haven't read the book already I really suggest reading it before watching the movie.

My wife keeps staring at me over this one, But I'm Laughing my ass off over the RENO 911 Movie.

The gator in the pool, How the convention center was locked down, The ROCK , It's very much akin to super troopers so If you like the series, and liked Super Troopers, you will get a kick out of this movie.
