what movie did you see this weekend?

Anything good? Would you recommend it or warn us to stay away? What are you planning to check out?

This past weekend I caught Daredevil and thought it was way lame. Ben Affleck is a train wreck in this thing.

Looking forward to catching Tears of the Sun this coming weekend. I need a good action flick to wash the taste of Daredevil out of my mouth.

I didn't see a movie this weekend. Last weekend I saw "Chicago" which was excellent. The previous weekend I saw "Catch Me if You Can" which was very good. I recommend both movies.

I saw The Life of David Gale this weekend. It is a wonderful movie. Highly recommended.

I actually saw a LOT of movies this weekend...

Gangs of New York - was good, but got to be too long... they tried to tell too many different angles of the story, and I didn't identify with any of the characters. Still a good movie though.

Chicago - again, a good movie but I wasn't as amazed by it as most people seem to be. It was good, I enjoyed it, but that was about all. With The Pianist and The Hours left to see, Two Towers still has my vote for Best Motion Picture

on DVD I saw
Dragonfly - Enjoyable creepy flick... popcorn movie. Beautiful scenery, and a really cool house.

Private Parts - possibly the most vile movie I've ever seen. It suprised me, because it was less vulgar than I thought it would be for the majority of the beginning of the movie. But I turned it off when Stern joked with his wife (who just miscarried) that he took a picture of the miscarriage and her parents could show people their grandchild. Sickening.

I saw Old School. Really funny. Unfortunately, you get to see a little too much of Will Farrell. Bleh.

I ill be catching Bring Down The House this weekend, most definitely.

I thought Old School was hilarious, especially the out take at the end when Will Farrell is walking in the supermarket and he yells at the old lady and kicks her cart. LOL. AND the singing at the wedding...listen closely to the words...BWAHAHAHA.

I am with whoever said that Chicago was awesome. I loved it. I have seen it twice and I try to sneak into see it when I go to other movies.

I watched One Hour Photo with Robin Williams. Um...it was not nearly as creepy as the critics made it out to be, but I thought it was okay.

I saw Daredevil and I thought it was great. I also think Affleck did some of his best work in this movie. Very few people thought he was cut out to play a superhero, but I thought he pulled it off.

I saw It's a Guy Thing, which we found to be cute - good mind candy.

I saw Chicago (twice!) and Catch Me If You Can about a month ago. Both were good, but Chicago brings out the dancer/actor in anybody who's ever taken dance lessons!

Interesting about David Gale - those I know who saw it said it was a good movie to see just prior to committing suicide. I'm assuming that they meant it was not exactly a fun movie! I plan to see it when it's on DVD (so I can control how much of it I plan to watch), as I truly love Kevin Spacey's abilities.

I also saw Daredevil this weekend and thought it was very entertaining....mostly because Ben Affleck is so yummy!

I love him and especially in his red leather costume!

I got dragged to go see how to lose a guy in 10 days. That was what it is, I didn't like it too much.

I also saw old school. Halfway through the movie, my brother turned to me and asked if there was a point to the movie.

Really? Thats a bummer. I'm a big fan of some of those actors and I'm sure I'll check it out at some point. Maybe I'll wait til it comes out on video.

The other movie I want to see is Shanghaii Knights but I think this weekend I'll hang in there for Tears of the Sun. I love going to a movie its opening weekend when the theatre is packed and everyone is really pumped to see a movie.

This past weekend I saw The Life of David Gale-- I recommend it, Kevin Spacey was great as usual.

When I went to see it, I saw a preview for what looks like a really great movie. I forget the name of it though! It had a lot of celebrities in it, namely John Cusack, Amanda Peet, this girl with really short hair from The Faculty--drawing a blank on her name right now. It's about this connection between all these guests who end up at this motel coincidentally. All of their birthdays are the following week. And they all start dying one by one. I defintely want to see it when it comes out!

I still have to see The Recruit!

Jaggergirl · #13 03-05-2003, 10:27 AM

oooooh! You're talking about Identity, I think. That movie looks freakin awesome. I love scary movies and I'm totally looking forward to seeing this one. It kind of reminds me of Clue only, you know, not funny. My friend is convinced that John Cusack is the killer but I think no way can my Hollywood Boyfriend be the killer. I mean, hello! Its Lloyd Dobbler!

to each her/his own about old school. The jokes were funny but the storyline wasn't quite there.

'Catch Me if You Can' very very good.
Christopher Walken ("broken father") is a great actor.
