Rate the last movie you just saw.

My problem with the Duke is that I never forgot it was John Wayne in the saddle.  Whereas Bridges was Rooster.

Once I get myself into a story/movie, I'm able to disassociate the actor from their character, unless the acting is just awful. I never could stand Glen Campbell in the movie.  The only thing I found lacking in the second version—and in the book—was that the story just stopped. I didn't feel like it had an ending, or maybe that Portis had gone past the ending. It left me wanting something, though for the life of me I couldn't say what.

Before seeing the remake and reading the book, I thought that Kim Darby was the irritant. Now I know it was the character.  Both versions rank high on my list for different things. I was SO glad to see the Coen's use a realistic backdrop for that part of the country. The mountains in the original were almost as distracting as Campbell's lack of acting skills.

Last I saw in the theatre: Jane Eyre - I mainly went to see it for the costumes, which were lovely and almost completely correct (imo), but it was a pretty decent adaptation of the book, too. I was really glad that they cut down on the scenes with St. John, since that part of the book really bored me. The only thing that really threw me was that when she comes back to find Rochester, he and Mrs. Fairfax hadn't left the property of the burned out house. Which was really strange. Still, it was decent, though it makes me want to watch the BBC one again. 4 out of 5 stars.

Last I saw on DVD: Megamind - I knew it was supposed to be a funny superhero movie, but it was better than I expected. I thought Megamind's character was actually really well developed, and while a lot of the plot twists were somewhat predictable, there were enough of them to hold my interest. And it was really funny, spoofing all sorts of other movies. Pretty good for a "superhero" movie! 4 out of 5 stars.

Everything I've seen in the last couple of months has been on dvd (total netflix addict) as we are saving up our pennies for the summer blockbusters and dragoncon

Hereafter- 2 out of 5 and I love Matt Damon. The characters were well developed, but the ending ruined the movie for me. No closure and no resolution. I'm glad I saw it but I will never watch it again.

Fast Five

I went into this movie with 0 expectations and was thoroughly entertained. The plot had a very strong Oceans 11 feel to it and the dialog was just horrible in spots, however, the action was excellent and there were car chases and crashes and explosions enough to make me happy. There was some romance but it was more background stuff and thankfully didn't steal scenes. Not a fan of action movies with alot of romance (300, for example).

Over all I'd give it a 4/5.

Oh Sacrilegious!  No one is better than John Wayne! (IMHO)  Take it back
or as Rooster Cogburn said, "Fill your hand you son of a Bi**h!"


Note:  All comments are offered as tongue in cheek.

I'm in agreement, Keeper! And I really like Jeff Bridges as an actor, I'd just rather see him do something that hasn't been done already.


Best movie I've seen in a long time- Atlas Shrugged. Well cast, well shot, well told.

Atlas Shrugged - I rate 9 out of 10 thumbs up.

Just watched The King's Speech, It was spot on! 5/5 nothing bad about it I can say other than I wish I had gone and seen it on the big screen.

[Zardoz]

Atlas Shrugged - 4.5 out of 5 , a big thumbs up! 

Fast Five, 4 out of 5, very good installment of that franchise.
