well i finally saw no country for old men, and i thought it was great... my only problem was the ending, if there's some hidden meaning there maybe on of you can reveal it to me... now i have there will be tears to watch, but based on reviews here i should enjoy it

No Country for Old Men was worth the price of admission just for the scene where Josh Brolin was trying to pack and get his wife out of Dodge, and she kept barraging him with questions including how long she'll have to be gone for, until he finally gets exasperated and says, "At what point would you quit looking for YOUR two million dollars?"

Will have to check out Tell No One. Love Harlan Coben.

Luke, are you referring to the dream Sheriff Bell talks about at the end?

Maybe it was his way of saying he understood after all why his father had become a lawman and why he'd become one too.

I love that dream.

[luke warm]

no, i just thought the ending left everything hanging... maybe i'm being picky (or maybe there'll be a sequel)

[JoAnneM]

Hmmm, can tell I am a party of one here. I like fun, entertaining movies. I liked Knocked Up. The one movie that I will stop and watch anytime that it is on is Dave. I like anything made in the 30's. And I like anything that has my son's animations or is written or directed by my nephew.

If it makes me laugh, I like it.
If it makes me wonder, I like it.
If it makes me understand, I like it.
In that order.

I love movies from the thirties also. I watch the Thin Man movies all the time. Just watched The Great Ziegfield last night. Best Picture 1936.

I just got to see the original on a plane (it was one of those with a personal tv where you get to pick what's showing on it). I very much enjoyed it.

A little late on this one, but agree with Noble's reccomendation for There Will Be Blood. Easily the best movie I've seen recently (and not-so-recently).

well i watched it tonight, and there were some brilliant performances... i usually don't care for depressing tales, but this was a great movie

[waubrey]

I loved Knocked Up. I actuallky slipped forward out of my chair laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes at one point.

Yeah we watched Knocked Up for the 5th time or so last night. One of those movies that you laugh in every scene.

I want to see Pineapple Express really bad, but will probably wait for it to be on cable next year.

I liked Knocked Up, but prefer 40 Year Old Virgin. Tropic Thunder is funny for the not-easily-offended.

Any of you seen Kabluey? I thought it was a nice movie, although obviously it never aspired to be a classic.

Saw Burn After Reading yesterday afternoon

It was so-so (and this is from someone who loves the Coen brothers). What's really sad is that this could have been great.

The core idea was lovely and the casting was brilliant.
Sadly, the execution was sporadic at best

[luke warm]

i hate to hear that, richard... it sure looks like a great movie and the cast has some great actors

[brianshark]

My girlfriend and I watched Disaster Movie last Sunday. The name is quite apt. What a pile of rubbish.

That is all.

Let The Right One In

Quote

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?" from "Stand By Me" -- quoted in John Anderson's review of "Let The Right One In"

How do you make a credible, memorable film about a 12-year old boy, a 12-year old girl (a vampire) and an amazing friendship that evolves amid alternating scenes of throat slitting gruesomeness and heart warming tenderness?

Not sure even Chuck Norris could pull this off. Somehow, Tomas Alfredson & Co. manage to, imo.

Filmed in Swedish. With subtitles. Some scenes are violent, bloody and disturbing.

[mike777]

When you get the chance you must rent Man on Wire.

If you have not yet seen Slumdog....see it.

I too really liked the film, but thought the vampire's gender (if there's any such thing) was ambiguous. As I recall, there were pointed references to the ambiguity in the dialog ("Would you still like me if I weren't a girl" or something like that) and in the screenplay as well...
