**Rerun's Movie Reviews**

[Rerun]

"I Have Never Forgotten You" The story of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesnthal who survived a German death camp himself and then when liberated weighing only 90 pounds, was able to bring some justice to the murderers who killed over 6 million Jews.  It is a real reminder of what happened.  The thought that humans could be so cruel is very disturbing.  Makes me wonder what people, especially in the Middle East are capable of once again.  This is a documentary that is well worth watching.  I'm keeping it for a few days for my family to watch.

Five stars

Seven Pounds

Marley & Me.....   Sad Dog Movie.  If you are an animal lover leave before the end.

[Lucinda]

Sorry Rerun but I have to butt in with a review.  I just got home from seeing "The curious life of Benjamin Button".  It is the first movie I have seen in years that I have seen and wanted to walk out half way through.  It is one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen. That said, I can probably understand the artistic brilliance of it and the reason it has been nominated for so many awards but for entertainment value it left me completely cold. I absolutely hated it. In fact I can quite safely say that for me it is the worst movie I have ever seen.  Even if someone offered me $1 million to sit through the movie again it wouldn't be worth my sanity to do it.  YUK! YUK! YUK!

Lucinda, this is what this thread is for.  We want to know good movies and bad movies.  Thanks for you review.  I think I'm going to another movie today if the snowplow comes through.  It snowed all night (again).  I'm sick of snow!

Rerun
I read the book Marley and Me and I am afraid to see the movie
the movie is never as good as the book
I read the ending of the book at dialysis and I was in tears
and this tech could not believe someone would get so emotional while reading a book
guess she never read a book
and what is with Old Yeller dog food ----- I would never buy that brand

and I read The Secret Life of Bees and also am afraid to see the movie
it will never be as good as the book

am reading The Daily Coyote now
it is true and about a lady who adopts a coyote and what it is like to have a coyote as a pet

Terminator-Salvation comes out in May 2009! Looks interesting.

[Chris]

Since I don't go to theatres due to vision problems, I just saw "The Dark Knight"

It was ok, but not worth all the over hype to me. Iron Man was better.

Another Underworld movie is coming out, which I'm thinking may ended up on DVD sooner

So far movie previews on Quick Time really don't show anything worth watching. There are some listed there you can't play yet.  Can't wait or The Fast and Furious 4 though.

[Wattle]

"Dark Knight"  On DVD      My family thought Heath made a great Joker.


I have just seen "Four Holidays" (renames here for some bizarre reason) You know it as Four Christmas's      Predictable but light hearted and funny at times. I didn't have any expectations and was entertained on a windy afternoon.

I watched Hancock on DVD last night.  I love Will Smith!  This movie gets a one thumb up. Too convoluted of a story line and I did not like the ending.  I did not really care about the woman character in it, so the ending did not go one way or another for me. 

[Chris]

What happened at the ending?

[Wenchie58]

Sticking my fingers in my ears!  LA LA LA LA I don't want to hear any endings!

Here Wenchie58, have some cotton balls  , I wanna hear.

I agree with your family, Wattle, the Joker was great in that movie. Being oblivious as I am, I had no idea who was playing the Joker. Imagine my disappointment in finding out that the actor playing the part was dead.
  

Alene

[Chris]

Thus the over hype of the movie. But the ending left it open for another actor to take his place since he did not die unlike Harvey Dent. I liked Jack Nicholson better as the Joker, but liked Ceaser Romareo (sp?) in the 60's tv show even better.

This movie just lacked something along the storyline to me.

[Wenchie58]

Ok, how silly do I look sitting here with  in my ears?

I did see them for sale at J.C. Penny's and Macy's.

Or I could do the redneck way and use duct tape and strap two little bunnies to your ears    and then take  while your  from the flash.

[Wenchie58]

Ahhhh duct tape...the quicker fixer upper!

I took my son to see Marley & Me, oh my.  Tearjerker.  I have read most of the book, but couldn't bring myself to read the end.  This is due to my beloved yellow lab Skye who went up to heaven last January.  My son really wanted to see it, so we went.  Can I tell you I was crying in the first scene (but that's because Marley looked a lot like Skye).  By the time it was starting to end, I look over and my little guy is crying already and so was I.  The WHOLE theater was crying, but we were really crying hard.  As we were driving home, we couldn't wait to go hug Luke and Scooby!  It was a really nice movie.


Mama Mia  - I love Abba, but geez, this was bad.  I think it should have stayed a Broadway musical.
The Women -  - Really funny movie!
Tropic Thunder -  - I love stupid, funny movies and was looking forward to this.  There were a couple of funny scenes but that's it.  Rob and I fell asleep through it!

We are watching Wall-E tonight, I'm looking forward to it!

Indiana Jones 4 was OK, but think it would have been better years ago when the genera was more prevalent. My movie taste have changed it appears.

Gilligan's Island - Season 1, 2, 3.  It only lasted 3 seasons.  It was fun to see it again.  If you haven't noticed there are no reruns on cable of this.
If your kids are under 15 they probably don't know who Gilligan is.  Four stars        

Memory Keeper's Daughter - I read the book so wanted to see the movie.  Three stars      .   It could be see on Regular TV, no need to rent it.  It starred Dermont Mulroney and Emily Watson.  Not big stars, but I did recognize them.  This lady has twins, but the little girl has down syndrome so the husband, who is a doctor, tells her the baby has died.  Well the nurse takes the baby and moves.  Then the story unfolds so I won't ruin it for you.

[kitkatz]

I have Gilligan's Island.  Watched it as a kid.  I about drove the hubby to distraction with watching the episodes one afternoon!  I wish they would put out the Gilligan's Island movies on DVD.

Saw "Gran Torino" this weekend.  One of the best movies in a long time... a MUST see. 

[skyedogrocks]

Wall-E -  - OMG I LOVED this movie, it was awesome!  My son loved it too, we laughed a lot throughout the movie.

I keep forgetting to mention that AlohaBeth's friend is in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".  For those who were at the first Vegas meet up, that was the friend she kept meeting up with when she wasn't with us; Sergey, her mad Russian ballet friend.   The movie was great.  Brad Pitt was wonderful.  Interesting story line.
