I also really enjoyed it, I thought the 2.5 hours went by rather quickly. The actors who played Hans and Shoshanna were excellent, I had never seem them before and was really impressed. Brad and the Basterds brought some comic relief to the film, I think some people thought the whole movie would be them bashing Nazis so they might be disappointed it wasn't.
great film ... christopher waltz was kick ass as hans landa ... like most tarantino movies - the film actually hinges on the dialogue and mood ... with 3 primary languages being spoken, i can see many not feeling a flow to the film ...
Inglorious Basterds was very enjoyable. Knowing it was "long" to begin with helps a lot! The movie at parts is paced very slowly, but I think that was intentional. I recommend this movie.

I got P.S. I Love You from the library. I only watched part of it. I like Gerard Butler but that movie was dumb.
I thought it was kind of corny. I just saw the Time Traveler's Wife. I liked it more then I thought I would. It was kind of unbelievable.
we just saw TTW this weekend. i'm still listening to the audio book, but i kind of put it away now that i saw the movie. the movie needed to explain more.

Yes, I agree with you. There seemed to some holes. I want to read the book to see if it explains things better. I wanted to download it on my kindle but alas it's not available on the kindle. :x

9
it is 09/09/09 & 9 comes out today. But my movie theatre is not showing it at 9pm :evil:
Ah oh well either way i'm excited to see this. It is a short movie only 80 minutes long. I've read some bad reviews, but i want to keep an open mind i hope it is cool!

I saw inglorious basterds today and it was okay a little long and a bit underwhelming if you ask me.
i liked it. was a bit long at 2.5 hours, but it didn't feel like it dragged. it was fun, funny, witty, creative.
i also watched District 9. very dissapointing. i thought it was going to be alot better than what actuallly was. the characters had no depth. very predictable story
That is funny because I actually liked District 9 a lot!
We saw District 9 this weekend and we liked it too, (me, hubby & son (he passes for 15)). Someone else mentioned about thinking/not thinking about the movie, I guess I thought during the film, how people are with other people/races/creatures. Anyway like it, thinks it's no 1 in film charts in UK at the mo.

I really enjoyed it. Two thumbs up! Long but I never was thinking 'when will this be over.'

Brad and the Basterds brought some comic relief to the film, I think some people thought the whole movie would be them bashing Nazis so they might be disappointed it wasn't.
I thought it was absolutely glorious.
I loved the tension Tarantino built in each scene.
The acting was great.
To be honest, I felt like I could take on a rhinoceros after I saw the film.

Hurt Locker - enjoyed it. Except for sitting in front of 2 morons that talked for the first 20 minutes. We moved.
Saw Extract. I'm a huge Arrested Development and Jason Bateman fan... man was I disappointed in this movie. Save yourself this one. Catch it on TBS one day. You'll be mildly amused for 5 minutes at most before switching the channel.
What else is out there now? Nothing seems good... I'm more into comedies or good action films, but nothing really out now.

I've been watching a lot of 1940's film noir movies, "Detour", "Scarlet Street", "Our of the Past", "Double Indemnity", and "To Have and Have Not" to name a few. Other ones I'm waiting on are "Laura", "M", and "The Third Man".
Not saying there aren't any good new movies, but there are none that can compare with these, and the pace and feel of them is great.

Has anyone seen the move 'The Strangers' with Liv Tyler? I happened across that last week on HBO and it scared the shit out of me. Even my husband said "wow, this movie is too suspenseful". For that, I recommend it as a good time. Not cinematic genius, but a really good movie if you like the horror, suspense stuff.

I enjoyed it and your review is spot on. Not the greatest ever but enjoyable and creepy. Some of those scenes where she doesn't know they are in the house with her are really well done. I'm getting out of this post because I am the only one still up at my house right now
This past weekend I watched "State of Play" and "Obsessed". My wife and I really enjoyed both of them. You have to go into them with an open mind and not expect "All the President's Men" or "Fatal Attraction". Just fun movies to watch on a Saturday night.

The third man was a great film.
Ever seen 'In a lonley place'? It stars humphrey bogart. Its not the same kinda thing really but you might like it.
Oh yeah just watched 'Mega shark VS Giant Octopus'
Saw District 9 and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.
Saw Quarantine and it was much more suspenseful than I thought it would be.
Not too crazy about the whole "hand held camera" style ala Blair Witch or Cloverfield though. If you've got to see one of the two, go with District 9. It actually transitions from hand held to standard pretty masterfully.
On the whole I'd recommend both.

did they think the actors would hear them?
What was unbelievable? The whole time travelling thing?
I want to see this! It's actually on demand right now and I just have been waiting to find time to watch the whole thing.
I don't think the actors can hear when you clap.
