Best DVD Rentals

“I still have a problem with Keanu Reaves trying to act.”

ya know, he was actually good in "the gift"”

“I simply don't like Hollywood making historical movies because they are so full of bullchit and inaccurate. nigal

i know what you mean nigal...i saw the crusades the other day and stopped counting the movie clichés after about 15 minutes...if i hadn't gone to the cheap theater i would be asking for my money back”

“I watched Sometimes in April a few nights ago. Good movie about the 1994 slaughters in Rawanda.

I rented a movie called Primer a couple months ago. They didnt spend a whole lot of money on this film, but it was very interesting, I definitely recommend it. They didnt spend a lot of money making Pi either, know what I mean?”

“my bad...the movie i was talking about was not call the crusades, it was called Kingdom of Heaven, a movie ABOUT the crusades

i saw A Love Song for Bobby Long last night...i very very very good movie...john travolta plays a alcoholic ex english professor training his protégé how to write and they live in a house together with a girl whose mother died...i highly recommend it

“just saw they're releasing sin city on dvd...they're gonna have 4 different boxes but that's the only difference...the comic book geeks are gonna eat that with a spoon...no offense crash ;)”

“Just saw Alexander.
What a waste of 3 hours.”

“If there were one or two more battle scenes in "Alexander"....I would buy the DVD.”

“I rented a movie called Primer a couple months ago

you could watch that along with "Thinner"”

Or along with "122 grain 7.62x39mm FMJ"”

“AWESOME movie ...

Das Boot, german w/ subtitles

ADVICE: Watch in surround sound only and w/ the lights out.”

“We watched Pippi Longstockings over the weekend with the kids. Wow, what an awful movie. Kids are drawn to it tho'”

“now there's a contrast...one talks about Das Boot and the other Pippi Longstockings...i've seen das boot, good movie, a little disturbing”

“Men of Honor.
Return with Honor - Documentary.”

“I rented some movies recently, and when I started watching one I thought it looked familiar...I watched it again anyway because it was good - Perfect Strangers was the name of it.

I've also got Alexander to watch.

Going to see Murderball tonight.”

“I want my 2 hours and 50 minutes of my life back from watching the Director's Cut of Alexander.
I hate chopped Hollywood 'history'.”

“Das Boot is a great movie that captures what it must have been like to be in the German submarine service. I've read a couple of books on this, the best being "Iron Coffins" by Herbert Werner, one of the few U-Boat commanders to survive the war. By the end of the war, even trying to leave Brest to go to sea was taking your life in your hands.

More than 70% of German U-Boat sailors didn't make it back, and I think the percentage is higher, like 85%, if you discount the sailors in support units that didn't go to sea. That gives them the highest attrition rate of any service (not unit), of any country, in any war, ever.”

“haha...
I had to think for a minute before I got that one Stovie...
:)”

“balki's on the new season of the surreal life...he's jerk”

“Perfect Strangers is now in my Netflix Queue.
I sure hope it isn't a 'chick' flick. ;-)
Netflix only rated it 2 & 1/2 stars.”

“Perfect Strangers

Plot description from the IMDb: "A woman goes home with the best-looking stranger, only to discover she's been kidnapped."

The only way it could be more of a chick flick would be if it also had her dead best friend from high school's baby in it too.”

“Yea, bit, but she's kidnapped on a sailboat.
Boats are kewl. ;-)”

“Watched the Karate Kid the other night. Good flick :D”

“I generally don't watch "chick flicks"...

It's just an odd little story. I hope you like it Stovie!

and I usually like the oddball and independent films, mainstream is too predictable...

I did like the Upside of Anger, though I don't usually like Kevin Costner.

“hey SS, can you tell me how to add pictures to a post...i want to be cool too :)”

“LOL

time - Find a pix on the net, right click it and copy the address from properties (http://www.yadayada....), paste it into a post, highlite it, click the little "Img" box directly above the message input area.”

“Hey twiggy, you might like A Boxfull of Moonlight.”

“SS, like this?

“I think I would SS, but my DVD thing doesn't stock it - I'll have to go to the video store!”

“twiggy, I have the name of that movie wrong.
The correct name is Box of Moonlight.

“yeah, I figured that out... :D
still don't have it...

Muderball was awesome!
as was Hide and Seek”

“Bitpusher,

Re: 85% Uboats lost.

God Bless SONAR, codebreakers and USN depth charges with an occasional Dauntless dive bomber thrown in for good measure!”

“Natalie Merchant, VH1 Storytellers.

Dang, I had almost forgoten just how beautiful she is. I've loved her music for ages.”

“Kind and Generous is one of those songs that is so powerful that it gives me a lump in my throat. So beautiful.”

“We rented "Spanglish", "Around The World In 80 Days" and "House of Flying Daggers" this weekend. Spanglish was good, but Tea Leoni's character will have you wishing that someone would put out a contract on her by the end of the movie. ATWIED was utter crap, but okay to watch with your kids, which is what we did. Haven't watched "House of Flying Daggers" yet.”

“"Tea Leoni's character will have you wishing that someone would put out a contract on her" - bit

LOL, so true.”

“Watched The Hole...had to watch it twice - it was good, but knowing the ending the second time around made it better.”

“Thumbs down on Winged Migration...

Great scenery and cinemetography, some interesting things caught on tape...but watching birds fly over and over and over...we didn't finish it...”

“uuuggg...after putting it off i finally watched Constantine yesterday...this movie had great potential and a pretty good story line but the acting was horrible (big surprise with canoe reaves) and the dialogue dripped with cheesy movie clichés...some times i had to remind myself i was watching the actual movie and not a parody of it...on a cheesy scale of 1 to 5 i give the dialog 5 cheddar wheels...the people on here that recommended it owe me 2 hours LOL”

“Why the heck would you listen to anyone on this board?!?!

:-)”

“on a lighter note, i checked out Prisoner on 2nd Avenue from the library...i haven't seen this one in years...it's a comedy for the 60's with Jack Lemon about him loosing his job and his mind...it's pretty funny and i'd recommend it to anyone who has lost their job”

“If you like Jack Lemmon, and want to see him in a more serious movie, rent Save The Tiger.”

“I watched The Brown Bunny this weekend due to the fact bitpusher said it was a bad first date movie, so it just HAD to be good.

Wrong
The ending was a shocker indeed. The rest of the movie sucked too.”

“lol...the ending scene is why I said it would a bad first date movie.

I haven't seen it yet, but I've read enough about it to know about the infamous "scene".

Um, how to put this? They didn't use stunt doubles for that...”

“I also saw Sin City.
Best comic book movie I've seen.
Enjoyed it.”

“In my defense, I never said that the bad first date movies would be good movies otherwise!”

“.....the infamous "scene".

Um, how to put this? They didn't use stunt doubles for that...”

I'll never be able to look at that actress without thinking about that final thing again.

It looked and sounded very real to me.”

“i second that stove, i saw sin city at the drive in...pretty cool experiance...i think i'll be renting it soon, we just signed up for netflix”

“Well, that's because it was!”

That is what was so shocking. A fairly major actress doing that on film.
I guess this is part of the young peoples idea that oral is not sex.”
