Let's Talk Movie Review



Recommended Posts

Oh, man...I'll just have to put Knowing on my "see on a rental" list. I believe you, and won't waste the $8 to see it, but will eventually, down the road see it. DH doesn't want to see it anyway, so that saves money. :huh2:

Ok, I just came back from "Knowing"

Full disclosure -- I love scifi, disaster, end-of-the-world type flicks. I give a LOT of leeway to these films, you have to buy into their view and mindset.

That said -- this thing SUCKED

It sucked so hard I expected to have a hickey when I walked out. It was so bad it should have starred Bill Pullman, Kevin Bacon and Anne Heche

Just don't. Please. Save yourself the $8 and 2 hours. May I suggest instead Roadhouse?

I too love apocalyptical movies. However, it's been a very very long time since I've seen a good Nick Cage film. I try to avoid his films like I do Stallone's.....

Hey, I liked Family Man. :huh2:

Why doesn't anyone but me like Face Off?

I give face/off some style points, because I like that it was stereotypical John Woo (big circular movements in slo - mo, flowing coats like capes, etc).

Well, I give him props for Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas and Face-off (but he was trying to be Travolta, anyone's cool doing that). Gone in 60 Seconds wasn't bad, but that movie didn't require acting chops -- any breathing middle age male would work.

Do you realize he's been in over -60- movies?

Raising Arizona was a classic. Also, I really enjoyed Leaving Las Vegas, and was pleasantly surprised at the job he did. I tend to chalk that up to "give a million monkeys a typewriter and let them type for a million years...."

I didn't know he had 60+ movies. I guess being related to Francis Ford Coppola has its perks, eh?

Oooooh, Cohen Bros! "Barton Fink" was their best, bar none! There are so many levels of screenwriting going on in there....incredible film.

The Rock: What a special guy!

Nick Cage: Loved him in Raising Arizona, Honeymoon in Vegas (with Sarah Jessica Parker), Face/Off and Con-Air. He started to "lose it" after Bringing Out the Dead... that movie SUCKS! Gone in 60 Seconds was good, but yes I agree with anyone being able to play that part. Did you know he got paid $20M for that?

It's nice to be him.

Nick will NEVER be able to top his multifaceted, subtle, nuanced character portrayal of Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider. Cage got robbed of the oscar on that one.

Lasst night's movies...oldies but goodies....

Treasure of the Sierra Madre - 4 (nobody does eerily over-the-edge-subtle- insanity like Bogart)

Touch of Evil - 4 (Charlton Heston as a mexican was pushing it, but once over that weirdness it was a good movie).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
