OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

I saw Return of the King Last night. I agree that it is a great movie. I am still awestruck and have to watch it at least a second time to fully appreciate it and voice any strong opinions about it.

I agree. It's worth a second or third viewing. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't agree with that opinion. She doesn't comprehend why someone would pay to go see a movie more than once. Heck, I saw Empire Strikes Back 8 times during the summer of 1980, when I was 17 and had nothing else to do. I even saw Star Trek: The Motion Picture 5 times when it came out (not because it was a great movie, but it was STAR TREK!!! and I had been watching the reruns for years before that).

Kill Bill (part one) is a very well done intentionally-campy/darkly-humorous action flick, for those who like that sort of thing, and I do.

I liked Master & Commander too. I feel sorry for people who say it was slow, but perhaps they mean that it's not a constant action fest, which is true. I could quibble about some things, but I won't - I didn't think it was brilliant, but I thought it was well done and enjoyable. It had some very good ship battle scenes.

I'll probably see Return of the King sometime by the end of the year. I'll have some days off after Christmas, so I'm thinking of going then.

ROTK was an excellent movie. In fact the entire trilogy was, correction, is why we have movies. Together they are epic.

Every once in a while you come acrossed a movie that you know is just going to be a good movie from the first frame. Movies like the Lord of The Rings, The fellowship of the Ring, Shawshank Redemptions, Silence of the Lambs, The Lion King, Star Wars, and so on.

If you have not seen Seabiscuit yet, I recommend it. Now its not the greatest movie ever, nor is it the best I have seen, but it is by far on of the most heart inspiring movies that I have seen. I wish my sister were alive to have seen this movie. A well done movie that is both enjoyable to watch as any I have seen in many years.
