    ahhh ... i'm guessing about 3 million litres of fake blood was used in this film! ... hahaha

    It makes the battle scene in Braveheart look like a Vicars tea party.

    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 walked into a scene being shot in the streets of NYC after one of the Garden shows! there's your pearl jam tie in reference of the day...

    NICE!!! So are you in the movie then?
    haha, unfortunately no. we just saw a scene being shot. lots of older cars being driven down a street, we watched them do a couple takes. pretty neat experience though, this all happening around midnight.

    That's awesome. :mrgreen: They film a lot of movies in our town too. They were here at the beginning of April for Silent Hill. They just happen to get the eerie snow that falls like ashes too. :mrgreen: It's fascinating to experience parts of a movie being filmed and then watching it in the completed form. Movies are awesome. :mrgreen:
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!

    Agreed, but what do you expect. Even in a fictional story Fox is awful for news.

    yes, they are. :) I was living in New Orleans when they were filming Runaway Jury with Gene Hackman and John Cusack, and I watched them film a scene in front of the courthouse right around the corner from my apartment, and then I saw it in the movie. It was awesome! Aside from that, I watched them film a Leann Rimes video from my balcony (they were doing it in the alley below my apt). Those were about my only two brushes with that. :lol:

    Blue Valentine...um yeah, not what I thought it was going to be...I found it continuously frustrating watching people repeat old patterns because they were safe...so the ending was fitting in my eyes. I probably would not recommend it though.

    I thought "Blue Valentine" was excellent. The acting, directing, and editing were some of the best I saw from last year's crop. Yes it's deeply depressing but I haven't seen such an uncompromisingly raw and honest film in a looooooong time. I wish I hadn't have watched it the same weekend that I finally got around to watching "127 Hours" though. Man those were 2 brutal movies to go back to back on such as celebratory weekend as this (with the announcement coming and all). I need to go watch The Muppet Movie or something now.

    Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part one yesterday. Kept up with all the movies. I swear it takes me an hour just to catch up and remember everything, and I ask my wife throughout who characters are because there are just so frikkin many of them and I forget. Good movie, mine as well see the last one in theaters. Will have to break out my elbows to get through all the kids in the theater..

    I know people, including myself, are looking forward to the Hangover II. but I am also looking forward to Kung Fu Panda 2. Anyone else? The first one was on tv the other night and I forgot how much i enjoyed it.ccThis one is getting good reviews also. I'll probably check both movies sometime this weekend.

    Also anyone see Tree Of Life? Heard that is getting outstanding reviews. Not sure if it is playing near me yet, i'll have to look it up.

    :lol::lol: I love Muppets ;)

    I agree that the movie was very well done. The honesty was excellent, I agree there also. I wouldn't recommend it because it would depress people who don't understand co-dependency. Where when I seen it, it made me want to act, to put things right. That's why I feel the end was very fitting in my eyes. Sorry if I sounded like I was slamming it. I wasn't. :oops:

    Oh I didn't think you were slamming it, I was just voicing my opinion of it since I had literally just watched it before I read your post...and yes, The Muppets are the best ;)

    We haven't been for months and I can't even remember the last film we saw. Is this a pretty poor time for movies? Just about everything I read about has as much appeal as slamming my nuts in a revolving door. Recommendations please.
