Iām most excited for The Spirit and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but since there are soooo many films opening on Dec. 25th this year, Iād like to hear what you guys think. Comments?
The only one Iāve actually heard of is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I probably wonāt see it on Christmas day anyway, but Iād like to see it at some point.
Wow. Thereās that many films coming out this Christmas? Sheeshā¦
Iām actually rather curious as to how The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will unfold on the screen, as the plot-line intrigues me. As for the other films, I wonāt bother, and I flat out refuse to see Marley & Me until Iāve read the original book, and even then I probably wonāt spend the extra dollars to see the adaption of it on the screen. Heh.
Whoa, and the only one I really know about is Bedtime Stories! I may have heard of the other films, but Iām only into Bedtime Stories. I wonāt see it in the theater on Christmas, but Iāll see it before the others.
I will probably see Benjamin Button first, but I would actually love to see them all. Frost/Nixon has already opened where I live, and I really want to see it. For Marley & Me, Valkyrie, Bedtime Stories and The Spirit, I will probably wait until the DVDs come out, since I can only see so many in theaters. Waltz with Bashir looks amazing, and I would love to see Last Chance Harvey because the last movie that had Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson (Stranger Than Fiction) is one of my favorites. I will definitely try and see Revolutionary Road, because I read the script, and it is amazing. But the one that I am for sure seeing in theaters is Benjamin Button.
i totally agree with everything you just said (Stranger Than Fiction is actually my #1 of all times!) except I really wanna see Benjamin ButtonandThe Spirit first!!!
Where do you live that you can see all these indie flicks? I live in St. Louis, so I could probably see Waltz With Bashir on Christmas Day, but Last Chance Harvey isnāt coming here at all, I donāt think, and Frost/Nixon isnāt out yet here. R U in L.A.?
TS2 - Just to let you know, thereās no need to quote a personās entire post if you wish to reply to them, especially if their message is directly above yours. An easy and clutter-free way to respond to a member is by using the āquoting systemā: writing out their name in bold and then typing out your note to them.
For me, all of them open on the 25th, except for Revolutionary Road which opens January 2nd, and Last Chance Harvey which opens January 23rd, I believe. Oh, and Frost/Nixon already opened here on December 5th.
I hope to see The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - but not actually on Christmas. I havenāt seen Frost/Nixon yet, but really want to. The other ones that I will hopefully see in theatres are Revolutionary Road, and Last Chance Harvey.
TS2-I do really want to see The Spirit, itās just that there are a ton of movies coming out right now and not enough time or money to see them all.
Stranger Than Fiction is a great movie that was criminally under rated and ignored when it came to the Oscars. The screenwriter (Zach Helm) also wrote and directed Mr. Magoriumās Wonder Emporium. Here is some info on his next movie The DisAssociate: imdb.com/title/tt1124370/
Frost/Nixon has opened in New York, L.A. and Toronto, and Last Chance Harvey comes out in limited release on Christmas in the U.S.A. (most likely as a qualifying run for the Oscars) and goās into wide release on January 23rd.
Thatās awesome that you found the imdb page for The DisAssociate, because that was Z. Helmās first script and the one that led him to being able to make STF!!! Iāve actually read the entire script already, so Iām supah-excited to see that! Anyway, back to Christamas movies!!!
My puppy is just like Marley. I first read the book when she was about 8 months old, and totally bawled through the last four chapters when Marley got old and died. Thatās how similar they are, because that is so not something I would do.
Iām with bd-d & mo and want to see Bedtime Stories! Mostly because I could always use a good laugh and I know that Sandler & Co would give that to me.
I was going to vote for Valkyrie because Tom is in it, despite hisā¦ notorious reputation as a scientologist (heās a great actor, you got to give him that), but then, I realized Iām not too font of war movies, so, I think the heartwarming Bedtime Stories would be a more suitable film for a Christmas viewing.
I really wanna see Frost/Nixon (although I thought it was coming out earlier than Christmasā¦) because it looks really interesting to me. I saw some stuff about it on Daily Show and it looks like a window into one of the most controversial people in recent history. Not that Iām a Nixon fan, because iām so not.
