Live Free or Die Hard opened yesterday. Now, it’s been 14 years I believe since the last Die Hard movie so I don’t really expect this film to do well at the box office.
I bought four DVDs last night- they were in 2-packs for $8.99 for 2. Anyways, I got Anastasia, Thumbelina, Because of Winn Dixie, and Good Boy.
I bought Anastasia and Thumbelina because I grew up with the two. I haven’t watched them yet, but I’m going to dive into the features after I see Ratatouille.
I watched Because of Winn Dixie last night, and though I haven’t read the book before (as far as I can recall) it was a pretty good film. Worthwhile. I trusted it because Walden Media distributed it.
I watched only a bit of Good Boy, then made the mistake of stopping it to get my cat some water, for it didn’t play again. I hate the birds. Anyways, it seemed like a good movie, a bit corny, but I’m looking forward to the rest. I bought it because John Robert Hoffman directed and wrote the screenplay. He’s the awesomeness that was Mister Mad Hatter in my all-time favorite childhood series Adventures in Wonderland. <3
God, don’t you just love Tommy? Just the way he’s sort of living without any aims or anything- he’s so stuck and doesn’t know what to do…Trees Lounge has a kind of aura around it, like an atmosphere…I could watch that film a million times over and never get bored of it!
How did you find it?
I’m desperate to get the Scary Movie box set. I need those films…
lizardgirl: My dad actually found it at the flea market and he knew I liked Steve Buscemi, so he bought it. It’s a good movie- I’m surprised I never heard of it.
FONY- The second I fell in love with Steve, I made it my aim to watch all of his films, and since he practically created Trees Lounge by himself, that was a top one to watch. I love the soundtrack as well- have you heard the song in the ending credits? It’s amazing!
lizardgirl: I’m still working my way through watching all his works ^^ I’ve done the same with Steve Coogan.
I’ll buy any film as long as he’s got a role in it. ^^ He’s actually the only reason I’ll watch an Adam Sandler film on TV, just to catch his teeny roles ^^
I didn’t catch the song on the credits, but now that you mentioned it I’ll be sure to check it out.
Last week, I watched Fifty First Dates with my girlfriend. I liked it, she loved it. I thought it was a sad movie. My gf told me she was bawling at this one scene, but it was a funny movie too.
Batman Begins was a reboot of the series . I enjoyed it very much because it is what the Batman franchise should be - dark, more faithful to the comics, etc. In the sequel we get Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) starring as The Joker.
lizardgirl: Lol! Yeah, I loved that role- the movie was a flop, but I always stick around to catch his little bits before I change the channel
Anyways, I saw RV yesterday- bad movie, but worthwhile since Will Arnett and Tony Hale were in it.
I watched a bit of Thumbelina, but I was totally weirded out. It made Swan Princess look normal. Now I know why I was so messed up as a kid, and why I’m still messed up now. xD
aZnCdn - Glad you like Transformers! I saw the trailer for it and thought it looked sweet…so that’s cool. There’s a theater nearby where I live that gives “double” showings - two movies played back-to-back. Soooo I’m hoping there will be a Ratatouille, Transformers combo!
