uh.. no i dont .  can you elaborate for me ?

To get the ball rolling...

I will review the movie Seabiscuit.

This movie is a couple years old, but it is such an uplifting movie, I felt compelled to share it.

The move takes place during the depression and centers around 3 characters whose spirits were broken by personal tragdy and the circumstances of the day.

Chris Cooper plays a gentle trainer who is much more comfortable with horses than he is with people..

Toby McGuire plays a young man seperated from his family during the depression. He has a gift with horses and an ability to ride. He also harbors a pain and bitterness at having lost his family.

Jeff Bridges plays a character who is warm and engaging but also dealing with tragedy. He was a man who built wealth but also is dealing with loss and regret.

These men come together through a horse no one gave much of a chance either.

The photgraphy is very warm and the film is well made.

There is one scene with brief nudity during a brothel scene. It may not be appropriate for children.

The movie is so upbeat and heartwarming that I would highly recommend it.

If this were a movie I would not endorse< I would say....Hit Eject


But I like it alot so....Press Play

It was pretty accurate Dave

I think Mr & Mrs Smith was a good movie too! It seemed to have a little bit of everything.

We also watched Deuce Bigelow:European Gigolo. We figured it wouldn't be very good. That's why we waited until it came out on video. We still wanted to see it though. Just as we thought-it stunk! It was like they were trying to hard to be like the original and it lost a lot in the process.

 

A little late since it's Monday - but I was sick all weekend and watched all kinds of movies. My ratings from most enjoyed to least enjoyed:

Kinsey - Great movie about the man who made the taboo subject of sex a topic of upper-study. A great window into a facsinating person. I think they did a good job of really investigating the work and the man before doing the movie, but definitely suggest watching the making of the movie (also on the DVD) afterward to hear what was real and what was artistic license.

The Wedding Singers (although warning, the DVD comes with two version - the movie version and the DVD version with cut scenes. I saw it in the theaters and the cut scenes don't add ANYTHING to the movie. In fact, it made it more choppy and less funny - I thought it would be stuff cut from the movie because it was too offensive... in reality it was just not funny and got editted out for that reason - stick with the movie version when asked).

Batman Begins - Great movie. Best of the batmans for fear and story content. I'd let my 8 year old watch the original Batman with Jack Nicholson... but this one had scenes too scary for little ones, IMHO.

Troy- Probably on par with Kingdom of Heaven, but easier to follow. All my reviews have to do with following the plot lines... maybe a weekend of being sick isn't the best time to watch movies you're going to review... maybe I was just watching them all in a fog....

Kingdom of Heaven - Again, hard to follow epic. But some beautiful scenes. And who doesn't like Orlando?

Be Cool - hard to follow the story line. I guess I just didn't enjoy the characters. I think if you could find a character in it to enjoy, the movie would have been better.

It was weird to watch all these movies in a row... Orlando Bloom and even more so, Liam Neeson are really making the rounds in movies right now!!

We watched Flight Plan w/Jodi Foster last weekend.

It started out kinda slow, but was pretty good. At times Jodi was very annoying though, but she was searching for her kid so who am I to judge?

I watch Napoleon Dynamite last weekend. It was okay, I guess. I know a lot of people who loved that movie, but it just reminded me of the parts of high school that I hated. I must not be cool.

Believe it or not, I just saw "Roadie" for the first time a couple of nights ago. 

It was the most horrendous script.  But Meat Loaf was cute, all of the members of Blondie had much bigger roles than I'd expected, and Alice Cooper was totally hot, so it was well worth it for us.  Roy Orbison & Hank Jr. also had bit parts.

But if you don't live rock & roll, I do NOT recommend it!

I haven't seen it, but I heard it was really good. I guess you just have to like that weird style of humour. But I also LOVED Lost in Translation, even though a lot of people hated it. I was told if I liked Lost in Translation, I would like Life Aquatic.

I need to bump Life Aquatic up to the top of my NetFlix list...

I loved Napolian Dynamite. He gave that girl a "delicious bass" that he had caught and was carrying around in tinfoil. That made me laugh so hard I think I cracked a rib. Out of nowhere "here I caught you a delicious bass....."
