Children of Men. Excellently done, and wonderful cinematography. Not necessarily an enjoyable film, but definitely a worthwhile film.

Xmen 3: The Last Stand. Yeah took me a bit to get around watching it, I'm just glad they didn't use the alternate ending :/

*looks around and sees no new posts after mine* Well, I did say I've been on a movie binge and since my last post, has seen 2 movies already.

C.S. Lewis: The Dreamer of Narnia. Documentary, but still a movie. And interesting, yet, sad one at that...

The Guardian. A looong movie, one of those movies where you think "ok it's over now..." and think it has concluded, but goes on for another 20 minutes, and then repeats that cycle^^ Good movie though, something different, I just totally dissliked the relationship with Fischer and that girl (did they even ever mention her name?) It was blah and I hated it :/

Yeah - I agree. It was hardly explained and you really had no basis for believing their relationship would ever work, but I guess it doesn't have to for inclusion.

I watched a foreign movie (South Africa)called Tsotsi, from 2005. It was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Tsotsi means thug, or gangster, and the story is basically about a tsotsi, who through an unexpected turn of events ends up taking care of a baby. It is a story of redemption, and I highly recommend it to those who can watch 'R' rated movies.

In the last week I've watched...

Neighbours (some random movie I started watching off TV... it's one of those movies that makes you mad and annoyed, so you keep watching. Don't ask^^ But then it got bad so I stopped watching it :/)

Tallediga Nights (It had a couple of good moments, like the cougar in the car, but sheesh! Some of the stuff I raise an eyebrow thinking "...people find this funny?" yeah, stupid bad humour :/)

Tonight my friend and I'll be watching.... Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time! Why? Because we have to see the alternate storyline and just what could happen!

I just watched The War Within, which was a very good movie. I've also rented Jesus Camp, but have not gotten around to viewing it yet.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

I rewatched Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington in GLORY on AMC Sunday night.
Broderick's Shaw didn't seem to be the sort of man who should have been leading a regiment though,he came across at times as being indecisive and not tough enough on the men,particuliarly Thomas who was his friend and he had to be reminded time and again the difference in their rank.
Washington's Sergeant Major Rawlings and the actor who played Sergeant Major
Mulcahey were the two best parts of the entire movie.
I also have to wonder about Shaw's decision to have his men all bunch up in
the moat toward the end of the movie.Can you say 'Turkey Shoot'?It seemed to me that what they did by doing that was give the Confederates easy targets to aim at.And the North wonders why they lost so many battles in the Civil War..
My favorite line came when Mulcahey is drilling the men:
Shaw:"Aren't you too tough on the men?"
Mulcahey:"How long have you known the lad(Thomas)?"
Shaw:"We grew up together."
Mulcahey:"Then perhaps you should let him grow up some more."

A Good Year - fairly mediocre storyline.

and

Babel. I actually really liked this one. It had a good message, though it wasn't clean.

I remember when my friends and I thought it was some kind of horror and rented it and then we were like "whoa, it's a Christian movie!" Ended up seeing it 3 times.

Lately, watched quite a bit of stuff, but most just like a huge chunk of the movie rather than the whole thing (which is what I usually end up doing :/)
So in the past weekish...

Willow
The Transporter
The Wedding Singer (most)
Million Dollar Baby (some, and ug once again with watching it a second time :/)
The Departed (just the beginning)

aaand think that's been about it :/

I just watched Stranger than Fiction, and I really enjoyed it. It was...weird...seeing Will Ferrell in such a serious role, and even though I think he did a fine job, it was just weird to see him being so serious. XD Either way, I thought it was excellently done, and I really loved the ending. Good movie! :thumb:

Well, soon enough alot of comical actors play serious roles. Hm, it's gunna be the last time my guy and I ask the guys from the movie rental what they suggest we watch :/ Apparently this one was only a "meh" so we didn't really watch it right away. It was pretty good, and such a different concept of a movie. I thought that the ending was great rather than [spoiler] the "masterpiece" ended which felt like total blah :/ I wanted to kick Dustin Hoffman as the professor with what his conclusion to that ending was. I thought Harold getting hit by a bus to save a kid wouldn've been the stupidest ending ever, PLUS she'd be killing a person! How it ended was good and pretty unexpected, really and just much decent. [/spoiler]

A couple other movies I've seen lately was The Pristige (one apparently was an AWSOME movie recommended by the movie guy... A little hard to follow at first and was good with an interesting idea I don't think anyone saw coming^^ But still not the BEST movie...) and the Tenacious D movie (I mean hey, it's Jack Black! I didn't even know he had a BAND before this :/ ...and now I know he has quite a mouth on him and has quite disturbed me... Please, do yourself a favour and even though it's a new Jack Black movie, don't watch it >_<)

The Prestige was my all time favorite movie of '06. XD It's one of those movies that you want to watch a second time right after finishing the first time (I ended up seeing it twice in theaters XD). It's definitely one of my favorite movies of all time now, though. I adored the plot twists, and the chronology was planned SO well. Not to mention Christian Bale + Hugh Jackman = very win. XDD

Anyways, regarding your comments on Stranger than Fiction and the spoiler, I agree. I really liked the author's line at the end, where she said something to the effect of, [SPOILER]"Harold Crick knew he faced death and accepted it. Isn't that the kind of man you should want to keep alive?"[/SPOILER] And yeah, Dustin Hoffman's character was lame for saying what he did, because I liked the second ending better, anyways. XD He did have some great lines, though. XD
