    Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care

    Was watching TCM this afternoon. Apparently 1939 was like 1994, a really loaded year for movies - Gone With the Wind, Wuthering Heights, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Wizard of Oz, etc. TCM was running all of the Oscar-nominated films from 1939.

    Ended up seeing Wuthering Heights; JFC what an obnoxious story. I wanted to shoot the chick for being a chick and marrying money, but I really wanted to shoot the guy for continually playing her games. I now totally understand why women seem to love it.

      Last night I went to see the oscar nominated short films. This was the first night they were out and I go every year. There were 5 this year and the Finnish one was hilarious!.

        I expected it to be a decent movie, and it was better than expected. Definitely worth a watch.

                We were going to see Monuments Men last night, until we read a bunch of tepid reviews. So we opted for Jack Ryan. I've read every one of Clancy's novels and obviously the timeline for the movie is way off. Having said that, it was an OK action flick with a lot of holes. We gave it one large popcorn bag.

                Just finished reading Lone Survivor, so we plan to see that next weekend.

                  The reviews I've heard/seen for MM are all over the board. I'll check it out on video.

                    Haven't seen it in ages, but it was on when i got home yesterday, and I just couldn't turn the channel. Noticed some stuff in Robin William'
                    s performance that I had never really paid attention to before. When he's talking to Neil, and Neil says he spoke with his father, and he can do the play, and might be able to keep on with the acting, after he leaves, there's a slight look of sadness on William's face where you can see he knows that Neil was lying, a sort of sad, wistful expression. And during the final scene, when he turns and see's that it's shy, quiet Todd who was up on his desk, calling out to him, there's a look bordering somewhere between surprise, amazement, and then almost pride, that this kid would do something that had been unheard of for him to do just a few months earlier.

                    Really great piece of acting for someone who didn't make his name as a dramatic actor.

                    Just a great, great movie. I may have to pick this up on DVD.

                      Agreed on the quality of that movie. Loved it. As for Robin Williams and dramatic/serious roles, Insomnia and One Hour Photo were great. If you haven't checked those out, I definitely recommend them.

                          The lego movie was great. I had low expectations going in (hadn't even seen a trailer). The 5 year old really wanted to see it. I admit I enjoyed the movie.

                            They've had a Lego TV show on one of the cartoon stations. My buddy's kids watch it a lot. It's all silly humor, but if you know the context of some of the stuff, it can be mildly entertaining for adults, too.

                              It definitely spoofed the Matrix and had other humor that went over my kids head.

                                I have watched that movie a dozen times, and it never gets old. Robin Williams was spot on. The scene where he gets Ethan Hawke to ad lib a poem on Whitman in front of the class always takes my breathe away.
