Bubble

Boring! I can't believe this is a Steven Soderbergh movie.

Set in a crumbling Ohio town that revolves around the local doll factory, Steven Soderbergh's offbeat film follows the antics of townsfolk turned detectives who try to unravel a murder mystery -- and end up discovering a bizarre love triangle. In sharp contrast to his high-budget Ocean's Eleven remake, Soderbergh uses low-cost digital camerawork and employs no-name actors in this quirky small-town drama.

Don't waste your hour & a half. Wash dishes instead.

First Snow

Pretty good movie. Guy Pierce and Piper Perabo and in it. It kept my interest till the very end. Kind of a murder mystery who dunnit kind of movie. Not really all put together till the end. A definte renter.

La Vie En Rose

I never knew anything about Edith Piaf - now I do. I loved this movie, which told her story - mainly, I think, because of the actress playing Edith. She was amazing! (best actress, in my book, from what I have seen so far)
It is a bit too disjointed, with flashbacks, which get somewhat confusing - but, by the end, it all adds up to an extremely interesting life - and makes you want to read more of the details of her life. Her voice is like no other.

Atonement

This was a very good movie, and the cinematography was exceptional. So many close-ups, often small fragments, which spoke volumes. I loved that.
But, I have seen three of the films nominated for best picture, now, and none of the three, including this one, has wowed me. All three are equally as good, but each one is of a different category, to me, so they are difficult to compare. See this, though.

Juno

This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It's sweet, funny, and fresh. And I love Ellen Paige. However, to me, it wasn't a knock-your-sox-off movie - the way I hope an Oscar winning movie should be.

The Bourne Ultimatum

This was pretty good, for what it was. One long, involved chase after another, several fights which went on too long, a really evil bad guy, and Matt Damon. I liked it - for what it was.

I'm Reed Fish

I liked this movie mostly because of the "small-town-full-of- characters" charm (which I always like),the lead character, the music, and the unusual twist of a movie within a movie. However, I think I need to watch it one more time to figure out who is playing who. I must have missed something because there seemed to be an extra girl at the end, and I don't remember her. (the girl looking out the limo roof with him)

Amazing Grace

This is a very good movie - about a man fighting to abolish slavery. It dragged on a bit, but it was worth seeing. In it, the man who wrote the hymn "Amazing Grace" is played by Albert Finney, whose acting I always love!

Waitress

I loved this movie. There was alot of truth in it. And it made me want to make pies!!

No Country For Old Men

I wonder if a movie EVER lives up to your expectations when it is SO RAVED ABOUT beforehand. This one, as usual, did not.
It was a good movie, yes. The cinematography, the directing, the acting - all were very good. Extremely violent, which everyone knows by now, anyway, so no big surprise there.
Maybe that's it - I wasn't surprised by anything. I won't say anything more about it, because I know you will see it. And then, let me know what YOU think.

Waitress

I loved this movie. And it had nothing to do with how cute Keri Russell is!

Rescue Dawn

I guess this movie was O.K - but it didn't do much for me. I think it was because I didn't care for the lead character - perhaps just his acting, in that role. And it was much less about the rescue and more about his captivity. It is worth watching though.

The Namesake

I liked this movie very much. Its about an Indian family in the U.S.

The Kingdom

Good movie - GREAT ending! ( what did you whisper in his/her ear? )
That said it all! And I loved the guy who played the Saudi who was killed in the end.

In this charming contemporary musical helmed by John Carney, a street musician (Glen Hansard) in Dublin, Ireland, strikes up a friendship with a migrant street hawker (Markéta Irglová). Over the course of a busy week, they compose, rehearse and record a series of songs that mirror the duo's burgeoning romance -- and help the young busker release his musical passions. The actors wrote the tunes they perform in this film that was recognized at Sundance 2007.

Another great hidden movie. This is a new type of musical. But it doesn't seem like one.
The actors are great. This movie has so much heart. You'll love it.

The Kingdom.

I liked this better than i thought when i started to watch it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie.

Jamie Fox and Jennifer Garner are really becoming good actors.

Reign Over me.

I loved this movie. Adam Sandler has come up with some stink-O movies, think Happy Gilmore, but the last couple of movie, where he does dramatic roles, are his foretay. This movie and Punch Drunk Love have got to be a couple of his best.

Here's what it's about...
Consumed with grief after losing his family in the World Trade Center attacks, a widower (Adam Sandler) seeks help from his former college roommate (Don Cheadle), who's now a dentist. Mike Binder (The Upside of Anger) directs this thought-provoking look at friendship and post-Sept. 11 society in New York City, co-starring Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows and Jada Pinkett Smith.

A beautiful movie, scenery-wise, set in the Sierra Nevada Mountains around the time the railroads were being built out there. I watched this with 3 other people - all of whom gave up on this movie and went to bed. The story was, maybe, just O.K., but I liked it. I liked the period feel of it. If you miss, or misunderstand, the very beginning scenes, then the entire movie will not make sense.

Interesting, but achingly sad - especially Glenn Close's line, "If you pray for something, be very specific." That line IS the movie, to me.

Not worth watching. The ending is totally confusing and unsatisfying - after you've slogged through the whole, long, slow story!
