snowcake - i actually enjoyed this movie even though i usually can't stomach alan rickman, and i think sigourney weaver is a little over the top, and carrie anne moss doesn't have much to work with. it's a movie about loss and grieving, honesty and truth, family and connection. 3.25/5
district 9 - very cool. while the parallels in the movie are little ham-fisted (it was made in south africa, after all), i loved the documentary feel of it and how it straddled several genres: sci-fi, buddy movies, cop movies. it even had a little romance thrown in. some violence and language, but ultimately a movie about morality and "loving our neighbour". 4/5

Cover - This is about the "DL" lifestyle in a Christian context. There were things that more than bothered me about this movie but I understood what they were trying to do and I respect that. It just makes me nutz when people muddle their theology and then come up with faulty premises and conclusions BUT it does make for good discussion!
Tyler Perry's I can do bad all by myself - For me this was Tyler's best movie! It had me crying...for real. Taraji P. Henson...WOW! She took me back to the 70's for a minute! lol. I have never seen Michael White play a villian role before but I think he did a really good job. There were really solid performances and Madea & Joe? Well you know...lol. I would have liked more Christ than "churchianity".
The Ultimate Gift - this could have been one of those Hallmark movies. It was okay. It's about a young man earning his inheritance. For me the problem was what was considered the "Ultimate Gift." Jesus Christ is the Ultimate Gift and they just totally missed it. I was really disappointed by that but if you'r not looking for that it's an okay movie.
*All these movies while they were entertaining, for me on some level missed the mark where it concerns the Gospel of Jesus Christ point blank.
The message seemed convoluted and...Idk..a creeping sense of covert universalism....I guess that's why I don't watch these kinds of movies a lot because I have a tendency to rip them.

Love Happens with Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Echart. I thought it will be the plain romantic comedy but I ended up liking it. It's not an Aniston movie...she's there for the female character but mainly Eckhart's movie. There were a couple of scenes with tissue moments that I did not expect.

Office Space (a few years old now). A bit on the vulgar side and not exactly deep, but worth seeing just for a particular scene. They take a network printer that everybody hates out to a field and beat it with baseball bats. With gangsta rap playing in the background. Classic.
Also features a really funny running product placement for Swingline staplers.

The Hurt Locker- it's hard to believe that a woman directed this movie. 'have more respect and will be praying more for these guys. My friend's son in law is in the service...he's pretty much the medic that follows these guys who difuses the bombs.

"The Maid"
Black humor in Santiago, Chile. Catalina Saavedra is a wonder in the title role.

INK- Fantasy Sci-Fi. This was a very different kind of movie, but I liked it A LOT! I liked the way the movie unfolded and what it was trying to say. Really good.
Water- This was one of the best drama movies I've seen for some time. It's based on a true story. It's about a widow who is 7 years old and the culture of widows in India. I had no ideal. This one had me in tears...smh at the things people do in the name of religion. Made me think about some stuff. This would have been a good movie to discuss.

Absolutement Fabuleux
This is basically a French adaptation of the original BBC sitcom, Absolutely Fabulous, involving two aging hippie ladies trying to live out their perpetually adolescent, radical 60's lifestyle--all the while having the daughter (of one of the ladies), trying her luck with living out her own conservative life, during what was the Jacques Chirac presidency.
Interesting side note here: the movie includes among its cameos (i.e, Catherine Deneuve, fashion designer Jean-Paul Gautier), is one half of the original AbFab's major stars, Jennifer Saunders! I'm floored by her fluent French speaking abilities!

White Wolf ( a National geographic documentary); a horror four-pack with Raging Sharks, Kraken (originally Dangerous Waters), The Howling IV, and Night Shadows; and Shine a Light (the Scorsese documentary about the Rolling Stones - almost as scary as the horror pack).
Oh yeah - and an MIT lecture on Godel, Escher, Bach and fractals.

2010- great special effects for a disaster movie. A bit too long.

In the Heat of the Night. Definitely worthy of the title "classic," but since I never lived through that era and have never been to Southern US I find myself wondering whether most of the white characters are as one-dimensional as they seem to me (the chief of police being the notable exception). Still, holds up well despite its age, and more complex than I was expecting of a 60s film with racial themes.
Worth watching. For me, worth re-watching as I missed about 15 mins due to "technical difficulties" (can't remember the last time that happened).

I just watched "the book of Eli". I love it! Finally a movie where a christian doesn't look weird or spiritually weak. Good action, good message and nice effects.

Alice in Wonderland.
Was kinda disappointed. It wasn't "Tim Burton-y" enough. His twisted view should have been a perfect match for the story. Instead it was more like an action movie like Narnia or LOTR

went last thursday (or was it Friday?) to see "The Ghost Writer"...
very good.
I don't usually like Pierce Brosnan..but, this time he was tolerable.
The woman who played his wife was quite good, too.

Very good political intrigue and seduction, with perfect pacing and plot.
I've often thought that Pierce Brosnan was much better than the "James Bond Suave Persona" that he is too often cast--Re: The Tailor of Panama, The Matador, Mars Attacks!
As always, the the Polanski cynicism leads to the tunnel at the end of the light.

I was VERY suprised (shocked, actually) to see Jim Belushi in there....kind of took me a few minutes to realize who the guy was! Was not expecting him...not in a movie like that....
