I’ve seen Rain Man a few times now. It is really good. Last night I watched Pinocchio again… I hadn’t seen it in a while, so I was surprised at how much I had forgotten of it!

Dude! I loved that movie! It was very informative and entertaining!
I give it 9 out of 10.
I’ve watched a handful of movies recently…Bedtime Stories, The Last Mimzy, Bolt, Stranger Than Fiction, Click, Hercules…they’re all really good.
For those of you who don’t know, Stranger Than Fiction is about a man named Harold Crick who is obsessed with math and spends every day of his life the same way until he later realizes that he is part of a novel-in-progress written by an author (coughcoughwith a quite unhealthy way of thinking coughcough)…She only writes tragedies in which the main characters always die at the end. And Harold desperately tries to prevent getting killed.
And I saw Click mainly because Adam Sandler is in it. It is hilarious in some parts and interesting in others…but also includes some rather distrubing stuff and jokes that little kids won’t get and shouldn’t hear…I didn’t know why it was rated PG-13 until I saw it.
STF is my favorite film of all time!!! Seriously!
I absolutely love Stranger Than Fiction. It was written by Zach Helm, who wrote and directed Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, which I also really liked. But STF was a very underrated masterpiece. A brilliant piece of filmmaking that everyone should see!
One Movie, Five Views featured STF as an overlooked film back in January.
We all loved this film over at OM, FV. It is indeed a masterpiece. (Please note that the once a month overlooked films usually only have one review since they are just short special features.)
Yes, STF is quite genius.
Is anybody else looking forword to Crank 2? The first one was awsome and this one looks like it has a good story line. Plus, Jason Statham is totally awsome! 
Stranger Than Fiction was great!
My favorite line is when he gives the girl “flours”! It’s hilarious.
Definitely my favorite Will Ferrell movie, just ahead of Elf.
Well, good, good, ehm… I would say it would be a storyline logical enough to glue the action parts together. Just like the first one. Still it looks like it could be an movie entertaining enough to go and watch.
Finally got around to watch Saving Private Ryan (never saw it theatrically, and then bought the DVD about a year ago and then just dumped it into the collection). Great movie but a bit gruesome, especially at the start.
Advice: don’t eat popcorn at the start, like I did. You end up with a big mess on the floor 
My favorite line: [spoil]ANA: Mr. Crick, you’re staring at my t*ts. HAROLD: I was? I don’t think I was. If I did, I can assure you that it was only as a representative of the United States Government.

TS2 - You seem to really like movies, so it should be fun for you to write about them. It will be interesting to see how your site goes!

I just watched Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind last night, by Studio Ghibli. It was GREAT! Not as good as Sprited Away, but still a masterpiece 8.5 out of 10!
I bought a webcam last night, so now at www.filmwins.blogspot.com , you can see me on my first ‘Winners and Losers’ Blog video introducing you to the 30-second quick video review format and the written review format!
-Thanks everybody! 
Oh, and reviews of Fast and Furious and Monsters Vs. Aliens will be posted in a few days!
I had an last minute, after-school urge to watch a movie today. Was going to watch Monsters Vs. Aliens, but due to session times, wasn’t able to. I actually saw Knowing instead (it’s got Nicolas Cage).
First 60 minutes of the movie: I would give it 8/10. The rest of the movie: 1.5/10. It was really, really good at the start and I thought, “Wow, this isn’t as bad as my friends said,” but [spoil]during the middle and the end there was too much Christian themes implemented. And before you say anything, let me say I’m affiliated to the denomination[/spoil]… and [spoil] they killed off Cage. Stupid idea![/spoil] I want a refund!
Hah, hah, I wouldn’t trust any movie where the tag-line is ‘what happens when the numbers run out’. Yeah, real scary and poignant advertising team ( ← note scarcasm).
I saw The Haunting In Connecticut today (at least, I think that’s what it was called. It was a last-minute choice). It was alright - quite scary at parts, definitely. Though the funniest bit was when the teenage boy who keeps having all these nightmares about another boy said something along the lines of, ‘it feels so weird…I feel as though that boy entered me last night’. A couple of people on my row burst out laughing, and then the whole cinema started laughing. It sort of ruined the creepy atmosphere.
Anyway, as a whole, I’d give it 6.5 out of 10. Nothing majorly original, but scary enough for a bit of late night fun.
The review of Monsters Vs. Aliens is finally up over at my website, www.filmwins.blogspot.com . Go check it out. (It’s a 3 out of 5-starrer for me).
lizardgirl - So that movie was actually good? Heh. I work at a local theater, so I have to do “theater checks” every once in a while (which means that I have to check the temperature of each theater), and when I do this I get to see glimpses of the films that are playing. The Haunting in Connecticut is currently playing at the cinema in which I work, so I’ve seen snippets of it. I always thought it looked kinda bizarre. The part where the dishes/plates “magically” move back to another spot was a complete rip-off of Poltergeist.
