the proposal with sandra bullock! lovely movie - loved it

 

paranormal activity - very good in its genre - but terrifying scary - even afterwards! don't watch that one alone!

zwartbook (blackbook) - impressive 2nd worldwar drama with Carice van Houten

Avatar 3d - amazing movie, fantastic fantasyworld, great story and great cgi - a must see!

The Holiday - with Jude Law and Kate Winslet - lovely movie, a romantic comedy with snow, fun, a really feel good movie.

and the soundtrack going along with it, is fantastic - that music always cheers up my day

Knowing - apocalyptic movie with Nicholas Cage - it has a bit of both worlds - it's a thriller and science fiction but at times also scary

with very good CGI that will blow you off your chair!

Here are some new ones, I have seen recently and some others.

 

Horror: Daybreakers, Excellent film I was expecting a standard movie, where vampires kill humans and it was not like that at all. Vampires actual are the inhabitants of the world and the humans are the hunted and its how they are trying to survive, with the help of some vampires, its really good

 

Romantic Comedy: Julie & Julia - This was absolutely fantastic, meryl streep was excellent in this and it was funny from start to finish.

 

Drama: The Lovely Bones - Sad Sad story but absolutely brilliant.

 

Fantasy: Bridge to Terabithia: An exciting look at the imagination of children, although it can be sad.

[Céline74]

I recommend It's Complicated, Oh Meryl Streep at her best again. I absolutely loved it.

[amyja89]

The two best movies I've seen recently are:

 

Precious: Absolutely heartbreaking but SUPERB. Mo'Nique is amazing and if she doesn't win the Oscar it'll be a joke!

 

Whip It: Drew Barrymore's directorial debut starring Ellen Page. GREAT movie! Kinda quirky like Juno which Ellen obviously does so well! Great cast and SO funny but touching also.

[whineupemily]

Just saw 28 Weeks Later! It was fabulous. Zombie movies are so cheesy but almost too amazing not to watch!

Haven't seen 28 Days Later though.. Looks boring.

I wanted to see that SO badly, while I was still in the US! The commercial gave me major chills every time it was on!

[Charlie92]

The Man Who Came Back - Great movie! can't say more...

[Only1Road]

Shutter Island was fantastic.

[whineupemily]

Shutter Island was fantastic.

I saw that too!! It was brilliantly acted and thought out. The ending hit me like a whip hahaha, wasn't expecting it at all.

 

I recently saw "Sister My Sister" and "Turn The River". Wowwww 'Sister My Sister' was extraordinarily disturbing and dark. Really great though. But the whole story, based on true events, was so interesting. The acting was fantastic. The ending made me cringe actually.. When it was described what happened to the mother and daughter.

 

'Turn The River' was SO GOOD!! About a mother not aloud to see her 11 year old son. She's described as a "pool shark", has no real job or home, but does pretty well. She kidnaps her son. But it's kind of not kidnapping, because he willingly leaves. I don't disagree with the 'kidnapping' at all. The man the son was living with, his father and step-mother, abused him. She had every right to do it too. The ending made me cry so much.. Very good.

[VintageCeline]

I know people have already suggested it, but The Lovely Bones is amazing! I saw it last month and it was brilliant. I haven't read the book yet which I want to, but apparently it is quite close to it.

The effects are amazing!

Postia Pappi Jaakobille (Letters to Father Jacob)

 

Bottom Line: Less is penetratingly more in this beautifully delineated, superbly acted character study.

PALM SPRINGS -- "Letters to Father Jacob" ("Postia pappi Jaakobille") serves as a stirring example of just what can be accomplished in a mere 74 minutes.

 

A deceptively simple two-hander involving a blind elderly pastor and the hardened ex-con he takes in to assist him in his correspondences with parishioners, Finland's official Oscar submission is the kind of film that makes a truly lasting impression despite its brevity.

 

Winner of the Bridging the Borders prize at this year's Palm Springs International Film Festival, the latest effort from filmmaker Klaus Haro (whose "Mother of Mine" took home the festival's 2006 Audience Award) quickly establishes the strained dynamic between Heikki Nousiainen's Father Jacob and Kaarina Hazard's Leila.

 

Pardoned after serving 12 years of a life sentence, the distrustful Leila is no less wary of the blind, frail pastor whose isolated rural outpost feels like a prison all of its own.

 

But, little by little, as Haro gently peels back those carefully concealed truths, the exquisitely acted, gracefully photographed (by Tuomo Hutri) tale of redemption ultimately reveals its liberating power.

 

In the filmmaker's hands, the sounds of a whistling tea kettle, water dripping from a leaky roof and wind rustling through tall weeds become important components of the naturalistic soundtrack, subtly but movingly underscored by composer Dani Stromback's plaintive piano.

I've seen ThE Blind Side and I liked it.

 

I saw Avatar twice, the second one in 3D. It actually made me tear up in that part where they were hitting the tree.

 

I also saw The Hurt Locker about 3 times. It was intense, it captured the tension experienced when diffusing a bomb.

[I Love You]

To Be Or Not To Be. Jack Benny and Carol Lombard last film.

[winforlife]

Has anyone read, "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Glbert? The movie is completed, finally! Julia Roberts will play the lead actress. Personally, I would have chosen either Gywneth Paltrow( sp?) or Cate Blanchette-both solid actresses. I enjoyed the novel immensely and it seems as though the author is excited to see the film released this summer. The cinematography and the few scenes on Youtube look like a great flick.

I highly recommend reading the novel before seeing the movie.

 

Here is the trailer for those who are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZzmqHJ0gPU

The Blind Side is the most amazing movie ever.

[Angel, You thrill me]

The Blind Side is the most amazing movie ever.

 

i actually slept through that one

 

i loved shutter island though.

[Jacqui]

Haha I almost slept through The Blind Side too. It was so weird, I had like 10 people tell me I'd love it, but I didn't like it that much.

 

I saw The Last Song today. I was worried they'd ruin it cause I really liked the book, but it wasn't bad. I was surprised how many kids were there though, it's not really a childrens movie!

[reamary]

I have a few new recommendations!

 

Up (the Disney-Pixar cartoon), it's touching and so funny at the same time, with a nice ending.

 

Julie & Julia, it's based on a true story of two women living in different times, one becoming one of the world's most famous cooks (Julia Child), and the other (Julie) starting to blog about the cookings she does during a year, following the recipes on a book by Julia Child.

I saw the movie yesterday and I absolutely adored it! Especially if you like France, French, cooking and/or Meryl Streep, I believe you're going to love it too!!

[Cellphone]

I recommend It's Complicated, Oh Meryl Streep at her best again. I absolutely loved it.

 

I liked that too. It was actually funnier than I expected.

 

Shutter Island was fantastic.

 

It was good. I was kinda disappointed with the ending though. Actually I'm still not sure if I got the very end right. I thought I did, but after talking to some friends I'm not so sure anymore.

[Davey84]

I dunno if I written this before, but i forgot how much I love

 

To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar

 

I watched that movie again today, and I think I must have seen it at least 50 times when I was a kid!

the movie is just soooo funny!! the characters are so wonderful and the story is lovely!

 

plus it was freaking hilarious seeing wesley snipes and patrick swayze with their muscled bodies in drag!

great quotes:

 

Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and gets his sexual kicks, he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a Transsexual.

Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I know that.

Noxeema Jackson: When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen.

Vida Boheme: Thank you.

Noxeema Jackson: And when a tired little Latin boy puts on a dress, he is simply a boy in a dress!

 

 

Vida Boheme: I feel like Miss Jayne Mansfield in this car.

Noxeema Jackson: Oooh, Jayne Mansfield. Not a good auto reference.

 

 

Noxeema Jackson: [to Chi-Chi] Step four: Larger than life is just the right size.
