We saw the new Bond film, Skyfall at the weekend.  It was actually pretty good (I'm not a big Bond fan but I do like Daniel Craig!) The 'twists' are quite good too.

Can't wait to see "Chasing Mavericks". It was filmed in my hometown.
We're going to see "Flight" tonight. Love Denzel Washington!

We saw Silent Hill 3D: Revelation today.  Probably (definitely) not as good as Argo, which we haven't seen yet.

Saw Holes on NetFlix a few weeks ago. It was really well done and had a fun performance by Sigourney Weaver. It is one of those few films that the boys can watch and enjoy and the adults are not counting the minutes to freedom.

I have not seen television in so long I have no idea what any of you are talking about with these films upthread. :waiting;

Oh, we did see ParaNorman about a month ago in an actual theatre. It wasn't as funny or clever as Monster House, and thankfully not as scary as Coraline (but again, not as clever either). Still, all enjoyed and Dyl once again declared it "not as long as Hugo".

Definitely a contender, if not the outright winner!  "Oscar Season" is just beginning, so we'll see which other good films there are out there.

I love really intelligent thrillers.

Oh, me too.  I don't care for those horror movies that are all blood, guts, and gore. I like ones that use your own imagination to scare you.  A movie that comes to mind is the Blair Witch Project.  My brother and I went to see it in the theatre, and I remember while watching it, thinking how stupid it was.  It didn't scare me until I was half way home, and I'd had some time to think about it

Just got done watching "Ariel". It's an Aki Kaurismaki film. Didn't like it as much as most of his other films. A little too depressing today. Maybe it's just my mood...

Holes is amazing because you can sit the most disillusioned, emotionally disturbed, behaviourally challenged, always in trouble with the police fifteen year old boy in front of it and he'll watch it, all the way through and actually enjoy every second of it.  I don't know any other film that can achieve this and I don't know how/why it can.  I think it must have some subtle nanosecond stuff going on in it ... *grin* ... In seven years of working in the Naughty School that was the one DVD which grabbed their attention and left them wanting more.

It was awesome.. they cut a few things out, if you read the books.. but they added some more that wasn't in the book.. at one point, I was so pissed off, that I was ready to get up and leave...

Saw Flight with a friend for my birthday and just have to say it was ok, nothing to rave about. Could have used better character developement. Smoking in the hospital stairwell is not believable, alarms would be going off, people would be smelling it and looking for cause either by nurses or security which I have seen when I have been hospitalized and someone decided to smoke.
 
Wish I saw ARGO instead or the Led Zeplin concert movie playing next to ours. Stairway To Heaven coming thru the walls with full bass had more of my attention....lol  "Stairway To Heaven Denied!" Waynes World

Well the other people in the theatre sitting around us didn't think so from all the comments made. I have not read the book and do not know how the ending is in the book to make a comparison. However from past experience the story from the book is better than the screen adaptation.

Saw Lincoln today and have to say it was quite masterful.  I felt like I was there.  I had not realized that the vote for the 13th Amendment in the House had been that close.

I'd like to see that... a lot of it is based on the book by historian Doris Kearns-Goodwin.. I like her cuz she's on Colbert all the time... she was there one of the first times I went to see a Colbert taping, and she's a nice lady, and she plays along with Stephen's idiot character
