Which movies do you hope to see soon? | 34 Replies: « back 1 2 next » |  Mell Mell Post Count: 14016 Msg: #1 538 days ago, June 11th 2008 | Has anyone seen the movie based on the book ''Not Without my Daughter by Betty Mahmoody''? | I just read the book but heard that the movie is a heap of mellow dramatic rubbish. If you have seen the movie, what do you think about it? Skylark Peaced Off Post Count: 32 Msg: #2 537 days ago, June 12th 2008 | I recommend a French film called 'The Serpent'. It is a thriller adapted from a English novel by the author who wrote 'Get Carter' and about a bloke who becomes the victim of a vendetta by an ex-school colleague. Even if you are not au fait with French cinema you should enjoy it. | Mell Mell Post Count: 14016 Msg: #3 536 days ago, June 13th 2008 | I love French movies. I used to watch a lot of them when I lived in Dublin because it was easy to get them subtitled in English there. I had no VCR in my own house so I used to go to my boyfriends place. He used to complain that I block all the sunlight out of the living room and sit there watching gloomy films about suicidal French people. I loved the psychological aspect of the movies and the understated stylishness of them. I cant remember the names of most of the ones I saw but I liked them. | One day I arrived at my boyfriends house and he said if that is not a cheerful movie in my hand I am not watching it. He read the first line which said ''Poinette was orphaned at age 6....''. Well, I didnt get to watch it. :D Mell Mell Post Count: 14016 Msg: #4 516 days ago, July 3rd 2008 | I want to see 'A map for Saturaday' as recommended by Travelin Jay in msg 14 of Why did you decide to go travelling |  Kleopattra Kleopattra's Life Post Count: 21 Msg: #5 499 days ago, July 21st 2008 | Yesterday night I rented 'Saawariya.' | 'Saawariya is a Bollywood movie, and it's a love story. restless Sue Berliner Post Count: 2 Msg: #6 495 days ago, July 24th 2008 | Kite Runner.....Very insightful and unfortunatey all to real... .

If anything, i dont think it fully portrayed what her life was like. however it wasnt a complete waste of 120 mins. | glad to hear you read the book !!

It was about people taking the law into their own hands when the police became corrupt in an area of Mexico city. |  Snap Shot Stacey Stacey Hatton Post Count: 220 Msg: #12 329 days ago, January 7th 2009 | I saw 'Australia' with Jugh Jackman in it not long ago. It was a great film but should have been cut into two films. Waaay too long. I thought they treated The Stolen Generation thing very well though. | And 'Twilight' did not compare to the book at all, but then what movie ever does?

Lol. Obviously it's ''HUGH'. | Mell Mell Post Count: 14016 Msg: #15 279 days ago, February 25th 2009 | Here is a related thread. | Slumdog Millionaire Mell Mell Post Count: 14016 Msg: #16 271 days ago, March 5th 2009 | Another related thread. | Book then movie, or other way around? [Edited: 12:33 - Mell ]  Donna and Neil Donna and Neil Post Count: 58 Msg: #17 248 days ago, March 28th 2009 | We loved Slumdog Millionaire - Danny Boyle is turning out to be one fantastic director - it reminded us of India so much and the soundtrack was great! A very compelling film. | We also watched Seven Pounds recently which was quite thought provoking and rather sad at the end. Benjamin Button was rubbish and we don't see why Brad Pitt got nominated for a best actor Oscar when most of his part was CGI anyway?! The other film we would whole-heartedly recommend is Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood - we love Clint anyway but this film was AMAZING! It's about an old racist guy who gets involved in his neighbourhood's gang war...also quite a sad film.  P05 PartyofFive Post Count: 52 Msg: #18 241 days ago, April 4th 2009 | I'm the other way around. I loved Benjamin Button and I wasn't fond of Seven Pounds. | We saw Revolutionary Road not too long ago and loved it. Snap Shot Stacey Stacey Hatton Post Count: 220 Msg: #19 236 days ago, April 9th 2009 | I don't pay attention to The Oscars so I'd never heard of The Reader when I watched it the other say. OMG it's one of the most emotionally powerful and thought provoking films I've ever seen. Loved it. | Slum Dog Millionair and Benjaming Button were cool too. Haven't seen Seven Pounds yet.  Dymphna Lee Ann Post Count: 451 Msg: #20 236 days ago, April 9th 2009 | I saw a documentary on the Haunting in Connecticut and it was scary. Has anyone seen the new movie on this? It is based upon a true story. | 34 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Number of Users: 15 | Number of Posts: 34 34 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
