Best DVD Rentals

“they can handle subtitles. After Pan's Labyrinth and the multitudes of subtitled japanese anime they watch they are old hands at it.

The parental warning mentions a child rape scene. I was concerned about how graphic that may be. I suppose I should just go ahead and watch it twice, once to review and then a second time with them.”

“The rape scene is three adolescent boys holding down another boy and the rape is mostly implied.”

“has any one seens the RUINS?

I am reading the book. slow but since someone has died it is picking up LOL”

“Thanks nigal.”

“It was supposed to rain this weekend, so we rented movies�surprisingly, all four were worth watching.

Rendition, Into the Wild, The Water Horse, and Nancy Drew.
Rendition was awesome.”

“whats it about?”

“The CIA detains a man suspected of being involved in terrorist activity and take him to a country where torture is used to get info.
That�s the basic plot, but it has lots of twists and turns, great casting, and the way the story unfolds keeps it interesting�”

“thanks for the heads up. I'd forgotten about that movie. I'll rent that soon.”

“How was "Water Horse?" Laurel really wants to see it.”

“that was really good as well - the kids watched both DVDs (that one and Nancy Drew) a few times.”

“I just saw The Mist on ppv.
That stinker has to be right up there in the list of top ten stupid movies.

It has the most sucky ending of any movie I've seen.

The plot is that giant alien bugs are eating a bunch of people trapped in a store in MN.

Twiggy would kick the crap out of the bugs.”

“twiggy lives in minnesota?”

“eh?”

“Watched Cloverfield last night. The ending sucked.

I've also been watching a great show called 4400.”

“I've seen some of the 4400 shows, but never watched an entire season - looked good though.

I rented Walk Hard, which was pretty funny...and Charlies Wilson's War which was good.”

“Pardon ME.

Twiggy would still kick those bug's butts.”

“Watched Rendition last week ~ thought it was pretty good. Also watched Mr. Woodcock ~ that was a mistake.”

“Watched Juno last night. It was an OK movie, the main character was pretty funny. As the father of a 14 yo daughter though, I don't like the message it sends. The girl gets pregnant, her life barely changes during the pregnancy other than a few nasty looks, she finds a rich couple to pay all her bills so they can adopt the baby, dad and stepmom are cool with everything, and after its all over she goes right back to being a happy teenage girl, with an easy uncomplicated relationship with her boyfriend. No angst about giving up the baby or anything else. Just oops, I got pregnant but its all better now.

I'd rather my daughter watched a teenage pregnancy movie where the girls life falls apart and she ends up on the street with a screaming brat latched onto her painfully engorged boobs. :)”

“I don't like the message it sends. etc

good point”

“I watched Juno as well - mostly because from the commercials I was getting that it was funny, and I wanted to know what was so funny about a teen pregnancy. The movie was good, but I agree with hyway...
I watched Knocked Up for the same reasons...

Just watched Eastern Promise, with my man Viggo...the best scene in the movie was the fight in the bath house...
:)”

“Just watched Eastern Promise, with my man Viggo...
twigeater


Pope Bobo and I are devastated......... ;-)”

“feel free to send me a copycat home video of you and/or Bobo fighting in the bath house...like Viggo...”

“just watched Annapolis ... why? I don't know.”

“Just watched 27 Dresses and I am ashamed to say that I enjoyed the hell out of it. I laughed out loud all the way through it.”

“It's OK dude. It's cool to watch a chick flick sometimes. It shows you are sensitive, that you take an interest in things she likes and that you just want to be with her. Unless of course you watched it alone in which case you're a big homo. LOL!

I watched:

Golden Compass...3 out of 5 stars.
The Adramada Strain...3 out of 5 stars.”

“LOL, I watched it with her.

Did you read The Golden Compass? I enjoyed the movie, but I wondered if it would make any sense if you hadn't read the book.”

“I saw Juno on the airplane and thought it was so good I rented it for my wife to see and watched it again with her.
Note to self: Do not watch movies on the airplane, they cut WAY too much out.
To use Nigals system: 5 out of 5 stars.

Charlie Wilson's War...4 out of 5 stars.
Tom Hanks is good in anything he does.

Untraceable...2 out of 5 stars.
It got 2 stars because Diane Lane is still HOT!
The bad guy hacks into the secure police computer but she still feels it's OK to talk on her cell phone.

Savages...0 out of 5 stars.
I was hoping for some dark humor (the trailers teased me into thinking that), but I could only make it 1/2 way through this depressing P.O.S.”

“I watched The Bridge last night. In 2004, the filmmaker spent a year filming people jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge. It profiled who these people were, interviews with their families/friends, interviews with survivors, why the GG is the top destination in the world to attempt suicide, etc. It's not exactly an uplifting film, but it's really interesting. His wide angle shots from a bluff, where you can see the whole bridge, see a spec falling off it and then a tremendous white splash in the blue water, are very startling and haunting.”

“It's not exactly an uplifting film

[groan!]”

“I guess you could say, the movie has a lot of gravity...”

“With a very lofty message yet at the same time very down to earth.”

“saw an independent this weekend called "forgiving the franklins"...i think that was the family's name, can't remember...highlight of the film?, the couple gets freaky and the husband shoves ice cubes up the wife's bum”

“Isn't that called a mudslide?”

“i just threw up a little”

“I watched about 15 minutes of Cloverfield and then gave up on it.”

“Isn't that called a mudslide?”

“Don't they sell those at Dairy Queen? I never realized......”

“saw an independent this weekend called "forgiving the franklins"...

thriftyhiker

“�Isn't that called a mudslide?”

He's from California.”

“Cloverfield....one of those shaky films.

I can't stand them....I get sick after 3 seconds of shaky camera "special effects".”

“I didn't know Rosey was so worldly. LOL! From this day forward I shall refer to Rosey as nothing but Dirty Sanchez!”

“I watched about 15 minutes of Cloverfield and then gave up on it.�

StoveStomper

are you kidding me? i loved that movie. i went to the theater twice to see it”

“Cloverfield was of such high quality, I kept expecting to see two cute little asian girls singing to Mothra at any time.

“are you kidding me? the ultra-realism of cloverfield was the exact opposite style of those cheesy (but highly enjoyable) gaijan style monster movies

it's blair witch project meets godzilla on lsd. what more could you ask for?”

“LOL LMG!”

“Confession: I made that up. But hey, it has a nice ring to it, no?”

“LOL @ Dirty Sanchez!”

The highlight was Oliver Hardy singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" while Stan Laurel accompanied him on the tuba.
