I saw Revolutionary Road and was not thrilled with it - Kate Winslet was okay. Now The Reader I thought was great - not a guy movie at all - but a compelling movie.
I liked both Seven Pounds and Benjamin Button.

I still have to see Seven Pounds and Benjamin Button. I got both at home (don't ask) and have not had the chance to see them. Besides I am going out tonight and might end up seeing one of them. You should check out Defiance if you haven't binkie, not really a girl flick and also not really a guy flick and Gran Torino, these are very good

Yeah I saw both of those. I posted above about Defiance - you're right it is really a great flick - girl movie or not :)
I'm a big WWII movie fan.
I haven't seen the last 2 on you list but I have Rocknrolla and will hopefully watch it in the next few days.

Just watched Babylon A.D.. I enjoyed the movie. Didn't care too much for the ending. I'm a fan of movies with Michelle Yeoh. I don't think she's hot or anything. I just think she has a knack for being in decent films.

I watched Taken last night. I was very impressed with Liam Neeson's performance. Very good action mixed in with some some drama. I give it an 8.5.

Watched Lakeview Terrace and Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach last night. Wasn't very impressed with either one of them. Balls Out had some funny parts. It was mostly raunchy humor.

I just watched the Unborn and The Uninvited this past Friday. The Unborn was not all that, it could of been better but even though there might have been a few scares, it still sucked. The Uninvited was a very good remake of A Tale of Two Sisters (watch the original first to see the similarities and the differences)

I finally watched Rocknrolla the other day and loved it. Your right a quirky one but typical Guy Ritchie.
@rtm27
Yeah I was quite impressed w/ Liam's performance in that one. I've always liked him but he was a good bad ass in this one.

Binkie, if you meant Taken, did you know this has been out for over a year? I got the dvd already...since june of last year actually ;-)

Yep EnigmaCM that's the one. I saw in Sept I think it was - it's been a few months. Somebody alerted me to it otherwise I probably never would have seen it.
I'm surprised it was finally released to theaters and on top of that took No. 1 last week!
The cough release cough of it reminds me of 88 minutes.

You sure about Taken, it's in the theaters here in the states and almost assuredly not out on DVD? I could be wrong?
There could be a previous "Taken" that I've never heard of. Or I could be a complete idiot about this situation. If so, just ignore me-I'm getting senile! olo

In a way you are right but I think Taken was a little better, 88 Minutes was a bit too predictable. I got another one for you, low budget and a very good drama, a few known actors. It's called Red.

Positive. This movie was out as a DVDRip last year, in June. I "acquired" a copy this way. Something happened in the distribution rights and was delayed from coming out here for a few months. The version I have is in English with I believe are Russian subtitles

Well, I got some time recently so I thought I'd watch some old movies I had lined up
Saw Into The Blue - quite a good flick 8-8.5/10
Mr and Mrs Smith - nice movie with some great action scenes 8.5-9/10
I also saw burn after reading - Didn't quite get it
After watching it I was sort of like What was the point of this
Anyone else feel like this???

Oh and you are not going senile, this was a very, very low profile "release" last year and it just made a lot of headlines because of the publicity behind thhe movie. The movie is awesome, you will hardly ever get a bad review on it so the film studios had plenty of time to build the hype up.

It was just your typical bad decisions turn into bad circumstances with a bit of senile personalities and a little black humor...yeah, i understand it was a bit like 'huh" which is why I watched it twice and the second time it made more sense. Best way to watch it is just separate the story lines, a lot easier to understand that way

Oh I just meant that 88 minutes was out as a rip like a year before it ever hit the theaters :)
No Russian or any subs on the Taken I 'acquired'.
I'm gping to check out Red - thanks for the tip.
Yes garmoon you are going senile :D
I liked Burn After Reading - thought it was hilarious - but then again the Cohen Bros. have that different/dark comedy going on that I like.

Gotcha...Same with Gran Torino and Defiance (well only a few weeks before release). By the way, Red is on DVD already. Now I also meant to tell you about this other movie called Sangre de mi Sangre (Blood of my Blood, it is a Mexican movie with English subs). This one is pretty good also and also on DVD

I love December :) They put out the better movies around then - well usually for award consideration - then distribute all the screeners for the awards ceremonies :)

I have started, as of last month, to "acquire" my movies through "other sources" as I'm saving all my extra cash for a new laptop and maybe a new tv. I'm already having withdrawls from not posting in the dvd shrink forum on the new releases. All I know is once I get a new laptop, I will be on a buying spree!!
