    Just watched "The Next Three Days" I really liked it!

    We also really liked The Next Three Days! I was surprised Rotten Tomatoes gave it a so-so rating, 'cause it was great! That one car scene made me scream...lol.
    My last message to you ~

    You're right. You are a monster! You are sick! Get help!

    At least, I am not a fuck-up! A lying fuck-up!

    Watched Fast Five over the weekend. If your a fan of these movies, you'll love it. I'm not a huge fan of the fast & furious series. But this movie was awesome, great action

    It was brilliant. The battle scene at the end is brutal - about 30 minutes long.

    really??? i thought it was a million times better then i was expecting. maybe you had expectations going in, i had barely heard anything about it or even seen a trailer when i watched it so i wasn't expecting much and was pleasantry surprised.

    I'd heard Margaret and David gave it 4 stars (didn't actually see the review though) and also seen the trailer.

    It just wasn't funny enough....and the jokes that were lol funny I'd already seen on the trailer. The last half hour or so was good....from about when they dressed him up like a cowboy.

    Very disappointing. I'm not a huge fan of those two guys either....they're okay....but I think they're overrated.

    And Seth Rogan's voice as Paul didn't really do it for me.

    Unstoppable - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477080/

    I know its unlikely, but 'does Denzil Washington always play characters called Frank?' - was the question I was asking myself as he and the guy from Star Trek went on a rather nice train journey together. Another question soon followed as an unmanned train carrying explosive chemicals is accidentally set in motion towards them - 'does the guy from My Name Is Earl always play complete idiots?' Thankfully I wasn't allowed to dwell on this for long as what followed actually managed to get my heart racing and put me very much on the edge of my seat. While the news footage was a touch heavy handed and some of the characters were a little too colourful, it didn't detract from the fantastic stunt work and the uneasy feeling of inevitable destruction. Scott, on the whole, holds back on the frenetic editing much to the films credit, but is still as subtle in his set ups as a train wreck. Some lovely shots, like the engineer and his young conductor walking through the yard gave a great sense of the scale of these trains, and some nice moments between the two leads, along with wonderfully realised action raised this above what I would have expected from a Tony Scott film.

    4/5

    Did anyone see "No Direction Home"? Watched it yesterday. It was really good, learning about Dylan's early days.

    All Good Things

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1175709/c

    *********************
    pretty crazy you can make a movie about a real life event that essentially incriminates someone who's never been convicted ...

    in any case - a really dark movie ... overall, didn't quite work for me as it seemed to be caught between being a suspense piece and a character-driven piece ..

    We watched "No Strings Attached". Had some great jokes in it...the best was the PJ song reference! Made the whole movie worthwhile...Even Flow will have yet another meaning to me. :mrgreen:
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!
