So when it was on TV we decided to watch. It is a fun movie, and quite unpredictable, which is great. There are some pacing issues, which meant the kids got bored occassionally, but overall we all enjoyed it. It was nice to see quite an original fantasy/sci fi. It has been quite a while.

It's rare that a bad movie makes me want to read the original book, but it's obvious that the four (FOUR!) (4!!) writers responsible for this adaptation savaged the the source material.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Just saw 'Superbad' on pay-per-view last night. Boy, this movie got a lot of attention, and have to say...I just don't get it. 1. The language was too much. The three friends were having conversations were so foul and disgusting. Stuff that I never even thought in my head in high school. Would have been funnier with milder language. I'm just sayin'. 2. The three friends are total and complete NERDS. [yes, you know that] I was a nerd in high school, a band geek, not in the 'in' crown. But compared to these guys, I was the captain of the football team. And the fact, that we're supposed to think that this chubby, curly-headed guy is getting all this action from girls, is ridiculous. He's so revolting, on so many levels, that no girl is going to like him. Let alone fall for his 'charm' I like comedies. 'Tommy Boy' is one of my favorite movies of all time. Chris Farley at Tommy Callahan is chubby and crazy -- but he's also sweet and cares about his life. 'Pretty in Pink' has a whacked out sense of humor to it. Funny, and over-the-top, but also real. What am I missing on 'Superbad'?

Originally Posted By DAR <<"I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart.">> Just think if Fredo instead of Frodo was the one to take the One Ring to Mordor? Middle Earth would have been done for. One the other hand Michael wouldn't have had to wack his brother.

I thought the leads played their role remarkably well. Best of Colbert Show Wife mailed me DVD Candy and Red Bulls I am a huge fan of Stephen Colbert, and this DVD has some great clips in it. My personal favorite "wikiality" is on it as well as the Green Screen challenge. I reccomend this movie to anyone who is a fan of Colbert.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Leatherheads Cinema in Marin popcorn (the reason to go to that theater) Eh,it was OK but with my locked in brain I kept seeing "Jim" on the field with "George." Some of the "historical" moments were interesting and sort of drew me into the movie but there weren't enough of them. Would recommend waiting to see it as a freebee on TV.
Originally Posted By Mickeyfan1 Well, from a Disney fan standpoint I am almost embarassed to say I just watched "Ratatouille". I was given this DVD at Christmas but had not watched it until now. In a few words...what a fun and delightful picture. I'm sure glad I have the DVD. I also enjoyed the short feature at the beginning "Lifted". Sometimes we need to be allowed to make mistakes in order to succeed in the end. Now, as for a non-Disney film, I was watching Turner Classic Movies a few weeks ago and the were celebrating the great Joan Crawford. I had never seen "Mildred Pirece", the film she won her one and only Oscar for. Wow, what a great film. I remember many years ago (wer're talking late '60s) seeing Carol Burnett do a spoof on this film when she had her varitey show and was in hysterics. Well, this past week Barnes and Noble had a great DVD sale so happily "Mildred Pierce" is now in my collection along with a few others. Next up "Cars"...yep, I own the DVD, but have never watched it! Love this thread!
