Disappointed by the silver screen

[Tweet]

So I've seen Indiana Jones and Sex and the City movies...and I feel like I want to write up to the production company and ask for my money back. I'm so sick of movies disappointing me. The Hulk looks like it will be another one. I think I'll skip it and just stick to watching TV from now on.

And there's anything better on TV? I don't plan to see "Sex and the City" (never watched the show, not even once), and I walked into a cheap matinee of "Indiana Jones" with no illusions about what I was going to watch.

Actually I really enjoyed the second-to-last movie I saw: "The Visitor." Some fine performances in a film about how an unexpected meeting winds up changing a man's life.

Anybody seen "Young @ Heart?" The trailers were a lot of fun, but not sure I could take an hour and a half of it... ?

home theatre rules. There's very little I feel I could pay $9 per person for.

Foreign films rule

Have you seen The Counterfieters? Tis the next film on me list..

SilverSon and I enjoyed Indy...farfetched that it was.

Sex and the City isn't on my list....it's aimed at a different demographic

Rent: "Everything is Illuminated" - unbelievably provoking.

Forget these studio films. See if your local library has any film showings or look for something in an art-house theatre.

Give me real life anyday

Oh, and Dumbo. I still cry at Dumbo.

And Bambi and Old Yeller.
That Walt Disney must have secretly hated kids.

My daughter and her boyfriend just saw that. She said it was very good. bikerHen

I went to the premiere of Kung Fu Panda last week and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

The documentary Bigger Stronger Faster is also recommended, but I think its still in limited release.

Yup saw it. I thought it was boring.. like when someone tries to stretch a 30-second commercial into a sitcom. Other people have liked it, though.

Where the Red Ferns Grow gets to me every time.

Last summer's movies were disappointing. This summer the long anticipated X Files movie will be relieased.

Oooh... can't wait for the X-Files movie!

I'm a netflicker -- just watched "Seabiscuit" while I rode today (trainer day again due to rain!). Good story, especially since it's a true one. Everyone did a great job in it and it was beautifully filmed.

I know... I'm VERY behind on what I watch. That's ok! Cheaper that way, AND I can set up the trainer in front of the tv anytime. Let's see you do that at a local theater!

Sex and the City was fantastic! If you liked the series, you won't be disappointed. If you like fashion, you're going to drool--the clothes are AMAZING. I'm going to see it again so I can focus on the clothes (and Samantha's next door neighbor ). Oh, and dress up if you do see it. You feel like a shmoo when you come out.

ETA, dbf is coming with me next time. He loved the show. I'm a lucky girl!

I just went to see The Fall.
It was beautiful and riveting.

I can't/won't watch anything will a lot of violence. That rules out a BUNCH of movies. I'm always puzzled about the rating systems. Seems that movies with sex always get an "R" rating, while some semi-violent movies get PG-13.

I'm not much of a movie buff, but DH is. I'd rather read a book & pop my own popcorn. Last movie, the popcorn & soda cost more than admission.
