What movie(s) are you going to watch/rent/go to this weekend?

[flvegan]

My friend loaned me his 2 Chris Elliot (sp?) DVD's (the "Get a Life" series and another video of his). Probably partake of those this weekend.

You?

[Trigger Hippie]

1. I'm actually

catching up on old Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes. :)

[kick-ass-bob]

2. Oceans 12, Manchurian Candidate and one other I can't remember

ooh - and Hotel Rwanda.

[mvd]

3. I finally saw Revenge Of The Sith last night

The electricity going out in my development finally got me going. Here are some thoughts:

Acting: I thought that Hayden Christensen didn't give the depth to Anakin that the book gave. I thought he was a little dull, and maybe they forced him to seem modern too much. But Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) were perfect!

Story: Started out slowly, but the battle scenes near the end were great. Everything was tied in nicely. And I thought that everything from the Grievous/Kenobi battle on was as gripping and intense as the book was.

Script: Nothing really stood out as horrible. The original series had some more clever dialogue.

I give it 3 1/2 stars out of 4! The best of the prequels.

5. I agree with your assessment of the 3 actors

but feel Hayden Christensen isjust a plain bad actor.

[Lisa]

13. I liked what McDiarmid said during an interview ...

Wearing those creepy contact lenses to play Palpatine gave him (temporary) tunnel vision -- "just what you need to be an Emperor".

4. Kingdom of Heaven

[mr blur]

6. Just about to go and see "Sin City"

Always liked Frabk Miller's graphic revitalisation of the Dark Knight.

[Hotler]

7. Saw and Sling Blade for tonights double feature here..

at home. What snacks would go good with those two???

[flvegan]

8. I watched Sling Blade the other night. I love that flick.

As for snacks? Anything you need a knife to prepare. Cheese 'n crackers, possibly with some deli meat on top?

[Cannikin]

12. biscuits and taters for Sling Blade

[put out]

15. A leather belt to gnaw on? Planning a bit of intensity, huh?

Hah. Haven't seen Saw, I don't think it's my style. But, Slingblade is excellent, I think. Sad on several levels. John Ritter is great, and Dwight Yoakum (I hope I remember correctly) is a class A victimizer. And Billy Bob, well, what can you say. He can be as weird as he wants in his personal life, as long as he keeps making movies.

[The Straight Story]

22. french fried taters :) (nt)

[China_cat]

9. The Prisoner

Episodes 4, 5, 6 and 7

[General Zod]

10. I just watched the original "Planet of the Apes" on DVD....

Tonight, I'll watch the extended version of "Stripes."

[smirkymonkey]

11. I loved that show!

Is it actually on DVD or did he tape it? I would love to see it again.

[Lisa]

14. Shake Hands With The Devil

(documentary based on General Dallaire's account of the Rwandan genocide)

I picked up a near-mint condition DVD on sale secondhand (I hadn't realized it had been released yet). The local library is very keen to have it for their collection, but I want to screen it myself first (I only saw the last half hour on the CBC).

[micrometer_50]

16. I checked out two DVDs from the library:

Chinatown

Irma LaDouche

:popcorn:

[peekaloo]

17. Finally watch 'Big Fish' on DVD. Had it for months now.

[MountainLaurel]

18. Nowhere in Africa

Which won the Academy Award for foreign film a few years ago, and two documentaries: "The Story of English" AND "The Crusades," which features Terry Jones from Monty Python.

[Floogeldy]

19. "National Treasure" and "Hostage"

Yea, it's action movie day for me.

B-)

[bikebloke]

20. Just had junk film double feature

"The Jacket" and "Cursed" (it must have been a curse to make me select that one)

And as I have a use-or-lose day Monday, tomorrow evening will be spent finally watching La Dolce Vita.

[foreigncorrespondent]

21. Saturday night was yesterday for me...

...and I rented:

Hide and Seek. Excellent movie. Has quite a twist.

Bride and Prejudice. It was ok. Had a few laughs.

Eulogy. Had its moments.

Sky Captain (Jude Law, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Angelina Jolie) The only reason I got this one was for Angelina. LOL

[Floogeldy]

23. Where the heck is you?

:)

I'm terrible with time zones.

B-)

[foreigncorrespondent]

25. Australia.

So you get a better fix. Right now in California it is 9:10am Sunday morning. Here in Melbourne it is 2:10am Monday morning.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

24. Let's see

Last night I watched Being John Malkovich.

This afternoon I watched an hour long doc on Sundance Channel about the history of and current plans for "Star Wars" (S.D.I.)

Just finished a double feature of "Imaginary Heroes" and "Rules of the Game"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. Go see "Kung Fu Hustle" if it's still anywhere near you. That is all.

[coffeenap]

27. Woodstock--my 15 and 11 year olds are enchanted!!!

(I told them the drugs and sex have changed since then, so don't imitate!--LOL!)

[RebelOne]

28. Well, I have a choice of five that my neighbor loaned me.

I haven't had a chance to watch them until today. I have Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, The Missing, The Incredibles, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Geronimo. Think I'll skip Geronimo because I'm not into cowboys and Indian movies. I think I'll start off the Harry Potter.
