I've actually gotten into Spartacus - Blood and Sand on Starz this season. I've recorded all 6 of the episodes so far and will get the whole series. It is nothing like the old one with Kurt Douglass. It is done similar to movie 300 or Avatar with a mix of graphics and live action.

2012, very good. 2.5 hours, so make time.

The Box. ehhhhh

Holy cow! My girlfriend turned me onto this series last weekend. It's on Netflix Watch Instantly. I've never seen so many 6 and 8 packs in my life!!! It's very bloody and violent so I spend a lot of time fast forwarding through that but the rest of it is definitely worth it!

 

[joec]

I have been into the HBO series like this for years but this as far as I know is the first for Starz. I rate it right up there with Deadwood or Sopranos as far as a series goes. I think it is better done this way that Rome was with live actors in every scene. The women look pretty good also, not that this old man would notice, much.

 

[buckytom]

forget the 6 packs; lots of, umm, 2 packs as well.

There was a whole week of Forest Gump last week. I used to love that movie, but not now......"Louise, look that's Fowest!" Overload!

I read Jodi Picoult's book, My Sister's Keeper, and really liked it. Rented the movie a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty pitiful. It's a chick flick and will make you cry, but they left out sooooo much. Movies are usually never as good as the book.

Yep. What were they thinking! Once or twice was cute, but I'm "Gumped" out. LOL. Luv Tom Hanks though. And... I practically know the "Philadelphia" script by heart. "Talk to me like I'm two years old."

 

[buckytom]

i've caught ken burns' "the civil war" on pbs a few times recently. outside of the excessive zooms and pan on still pictures, it's an excellent work. great narrations.

Watched Crazy Heart this afternoon. Oscars; if Jeff Bridges doesn't win best actor and "The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)" doesn't win best music, original song I'll shoot myself. What a great flick.

Wow, that was a gutsy statement, Buzz! LOL!

I took the opportunity on this nasty, cold, rainy day to watch a couple of rented DVD's: "Perfect Getaway" on someone's (Lefty's?) recommendation, and "Orphan".

Loved them both, but now it's 12:30 and I can't sleep!

(well, it's REALLY only 11:30)

i watched "g-force" with my boy this morning.
cute movie.

 

[Fisher's Mom]

Fisher loved g-force too, BT.

 

[buzzard767]

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

Sucked. Totally non-believable story and outrageous scenarios.

Good call, eh?

 

[Fisher's Mom]

I watched 2012 the other night, not expecting much because of the reviews. I was surprised to find it was pretty good. It's certainly action packed and full of edge-of-your-seat chase scenes.

 

[CharlieD]

I also saw that yesterday. I liked watching it, because of action and special effects, but as a movie, it was nothing to talk about. Junk.

 

[Fisher's Mom]

You're right, Charlie. The plot was predictable and the character development was lacking, but the action made it fun to watch.

 

[FooD]

Agreed. A bad film can sometimes be entertaining to watch.

 

[Fisher's Mom]

That's what I'm always trying to tell my family!!!

Hey - we should make some popcorn and watch some good bad movies, huh, FooD?

 

[Maverick2272]

Um, this may sound bad but I haven't watched any movies in quite some time. I think the last one the kids saw was G-Force, and I know the wife is constantly watching old flicks (she loves them and hates most new movies).
We have had Battle for Haditha for over a month now and still haven't watched it. Now we have Dance Movie for the last two weeks and haven't watched it either.
Jeez, need to get on the ball here, LOL.

I saw 2012 on dvd a couple of nites ago and it was bad......... actually, it was really bad.......wish I had some popcorn though....

 

[Lefty]

Armored - I'll give it a C

Too predictable.

Did You Hear About The Morgans - B

Not my usual style of movie (romantic comedy) but entertaining.

ooh, i can't wait either. although, lawrence fishburne is a dick. he hangs out occasionally in the pub i used to frequent as he lives in a building on west 57th.
all of the bartenders said he's cheap; never buys anyone a drink, even if they've bought him several. he hits on anything female, then gets insulting when they ignore him.
supposedly, the regulars like to compliment him on samuel l. jackson or morgan freeman movies just to piss him off, lol.

espeakin' of sam'l jackson, i just watched "the negotiator". good flick for a saturday, but now i don't trust anyone...

 

[joec]

I finally got to see The Taking of Pelham 123 last week and really enjoyed it. Pretty good action movie with Travolta and Denzel Washington.

 

[Lefty]

Men Who Stare At Goats

I hated it!!!

 

[High Cheese]

Pulp Ficton. Again.

HA! One of my favs! "WHAT? A five dollar shake!" lmao

Just watched Brothers last night, pretty good.
