    Perhaps I was too hard on The Terminal -- I was in a bad mood last night. But even if it is loosely based on a true story, the film's plot is riddled with holes, and that kept me from enjoying it.

    Pretty darn good! I guess I'm lucky in that I haven't read the book since it came out, so I didn't really miss much of anything that had been int he book but was cut from the flick.

    GREAT GREAT movie!
    I went with my mom, aunt, sister and niece. We all thought it was wonderful. The buzz is correct, Joaquin should get an Oscar nod for this role.

    It was a good movie but I felt that they chopped too many pieces from the book. Fairly abrupt ending.

    I loved it. They did stray from the book and cut alot of things out. But this movie had a much better feel to me than the last movie, which I didn't really like.


    Man on Fire
    Netflix
    grapes and cheese

    Good movie. I don't want to give anything away but how it ended, I thought that would be the case and that was nice.


    Prime
    local theater
    popcorn

    Eh. Not that great. It had it's moments where it was very funny. But overall it just didn't do it for me. Didn't like the ending either.

    It was OK. I really liked the first one. This one seemed forced and disjointed. We should have waited and rented it. Popcorn wasn't the best either :(

    I could recommend this one with a clear conscious. While not Oscar material, the plot was credible, and it was pretty funny, not to mention clean. It may not be on the top of your list, but if the kids are driving you crazy over Christmas Break this is an enjoyable two hours.

    I loved it, can't wait for the next one. I remember the book as one of the slower-paced installments, so I was fine with them picking up the pace in this one. The dragon climbing along the side of Hogwarts was amazing, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was very cool, too!


    Crash
    Comcast On Demand
    No snacks

    An amazing movie that really underscores how people's attitudes are complicated, conflicted about race. Lots of food for thought.

    Not really that much was cut. Mainly just Hermionies SPEW stuff and the Dobby and Winky subplot. All the other important parts were left intact.

    Which in my opinion are the things that should have been cut. I always felt those sections slowed the book down.

    As for movies I've seen:

    War of the Worlds
    Dvd
    What can I say, I liked the film. There were some geniune Spielberg moments that just leave scared and giddy at the same time. I thinking the time in Tim Robbin's basement. A well made solid film but it can't hold a candle to what I finally saw for the first time....

    King Kong(1933 version)
    DVD
    Wow wow wow. What a fantastic film. Yes some of the effects are hokey, but they're rather charming too. I just loved this film.

    I would have liked to see the Dobby and Winky stuff left in. Adds another mystery to the story and by taking it out they took away some innocence from Neville(Him stealing the gillyweed from Snape)

    I loved it. I laughed, I cried, I grabbed Mele's leg in terror. I am going to see it with my 10 year old niece next week. I don't think she should go see it but as she has said "I've seen Lord of the Rings, Aunt Candice, I can handle this". Harumph.

    Best movie I've seen in a LONGGGGGGG time. Call me a sucker for musicals, but WOW!!! I'm in love with this movie and will be seeing it again VERY soon, and am going to start pushing for us to do a production of it at my theatre. THe music was great, the acting was great, just FABULOUS! AND, I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see the Roger character. I had NO idea who he was, but I recognized his voice the MOMENT his mouth opened and he started singing - he voiced the lead male character in Aida on Broadway in addition to being a perfect Roger in Rent!

    Didnt care too much for IN the Mix. I was waiting for kevin costner to pop out and give usher a high 5 at any moment. But the chick was hot so it made it tollerable.

    Spooky Ghost,
    I take a bit of issue with your post. They abandoned Rita Skeeter in mid-movie, you never find out how she's getting all the juicy dirt on Hagrid, Harry, Hermione, etc. By leaving the House-Elves and Ludo Bagman out, they had to completely re-write Barty Jr's story. And my biggest gripe because they make a deal of it in the book Padma Patil is a blooddy Ravenclaw, not a Gryffindor, yet she and Parvati are shown practically joined at the hip.

    I understand they had to take a lot out essentially for time, but to abandon the Skeeter subplot in mid-movie and a couple of other minor things made the movie a bit disjointed in my opinion.
