freak2304 0 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Alright, another question for those who've seen this. I got 20 minutes into Arlington Road last night and then had to help my wife study for a test for 3 friggin' hours and didn't get to finish it. I hate coming back and watching movies in this situation unless the first 20 minutes REALLY intrigued me. Is this worth finishing?? Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I watched 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' tonight. I hadn't read any reviews of the movie and I've never read the story or seen the play. Basically, it started out as a meh film for me. Somehow, my interest kept growing stronger and I was sucked right into the story. I don't like musicals and usually I find them kind of annoying as a story telling medium. This was not the case and by the end I was completely hooked. Two thumbs up. To be more specific, 8/10 stars. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 3:10 to YumaIt was just ok. It was obvious they had a hard time editing it in a few spots which made a few scenes choppy instead of flowing like the rest of the movie. The story was decent for a western. Link to post Share on other sites
Alter-Ego 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I can't wait to see "Diary Of The Dead" and I'm sure it's going to be much, much better!"Diary of the Dead" was pretty interesting. Worth seeing...I'm waiting for it impatiently.Today I'll watch "El Orfanato". Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I saw a few movies this weekend....Gone Baby Gone. This was basically exactly what I was expecting. other than the fact that the little girl ended up living... I thought for sure she would die. I would give it 6.5/10. It was good.The Kite Runner. This was completely awesome, but I'm totally biased because I went to Afghanistan last summer. I give it 9/10, but I would be curious to what other people thought, since I know I'm so biased.Once. I was expecting to really like it and I was expecting it to be really good. This film easily exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by how much I loved it. 9/10. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Deja vu - Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer Worst movie ever. Thankfully I can get crappy films from netflix and not feel too badly. Link to post Share on other sites

Franchise632 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Why wouldn't I just watch Training Day again then?Probably not a horrible choice...though the story is a bit different. It just has the same feel.Watched a few movies in the last 24 hours.... Forgetting Sara Marshall was awesome, I was laughing from start to finish and the story was good too...then double dipped and saw 88 minutes...it was Al Pacino and even he couldn't save this movie, the premise was okay but it tried to hard to be smart. The effort was there it was just poorly executed....and this morning I watched Gridiron Gang on InDemand, I am a big wrestling fan but have never really watched any of The Rock's movies. This one was pretty enjoyable. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 How many movies are in your queue?Currently, 116. I love Netflix. I like to mix in TV shows along with movies. I'm watching the entirety of Seinfeld and The Soprano's. Battlestar Galactica season 3 finally came out and I'll probably move those up since it's pretty much awesome. Here's my next 10:The Pied Piper of Hutzovina (I'm way more excited to see this than I should be) Breakfast at Tiffany's Battlestar Galactica: Season 3: Disc 2 Little Children Seinfeld: Season 6: Disc 3 Lantana Battlestar Galactica: Season 3: Disc 3 The Sopranos: Season 2: Disc 1 Seinfeld: Season 6: Disc 4 Scorched Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 * DVD Queue (287) You do love the documentary genre. This is what's so good about Netflix. There's no way you could go to your local Blockbuster and rent some of these. Also, you don't have to shell out money to rewatch some great films (Barton Fink/Miller's Crossing) or feel like you've wasted money renting trash like Black Snake Moan. With that queue, I'm surprised you're only getting 3 at a time. I'm on the 6 disc plan so I always have something to watch. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not on the 6 disc plan because it's more expensive than the 3 disc plan x2. I can't let them screw me like that. I was thinking about signing up my wife on a separate 3 disc plan, but then I would have to manage 2 queues and that would be annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
