What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

I didn't like the "diary room" scenes in TOBG either, they really jarred with the rest of it. That was one way, at least, where the big screen film was an improvement. Plus the two actresses were way too old to be convincing as teenage girls - I know they aren't that "old", but at least Johansson and Portman were a bit closer to the real age of the sisters.

The King's Speech. Standard Heritage Movie fare raised to another level by a great cast. In particular, Colin Firth rocked and deserves an Oscar.

and...getting in the seasonal mood...Bad Santa

Watched Some Like It Hot, which I enjoyed and A Colbert Christmas: the Greatest Gift of All, which I also enjoyed.

The kids and I just got back from seeing "Tron Legacy" at our local IMAX theatre. It looked great and the soundtrack really goes with the action in the film. At one point they even include an old Journey song which really takes me back. I thought the story itself was no better or worse than movies of this type. I'm not a good judge, though, as gaming logic goes over my head and is usually nothing more than a plot device so I give myself permission to relax and enjoy the ride. As rides go it is thrilling enough. I did find myself wondering when did Bruce Boxleitner's voice get so gravelly?

The King's Speech was incredible! Firth, Rush and Bonham Carter all deserve Oscars for their performances!

Watched again my VCR of Sally Potter's The Tango Lesson. Enjoy it more each time.

I need to check out The King's Speech--what a cast! Is this a new movie? (Forgive me, I live in a cave called Motherhood.)

Not in the UK it isn't!

No offence, but I always get miffed when something which is about a major part of British history (especially fairly recent history) doesn't get a wide release in it's "homeland" first

, although there have been some previews so I assume it'll be out soon. Hope CF does win the Oscar, he seems to be the hot favourite.
