OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Evening all,

Signs: There were lengthy periods of no dialog which were just creepy. I thought the interesting thing is that Signs is not about aliens invading the Earth, it's about why things are the way they are.

Return of the King: I love it, but this movie is loooooonnnnngggg. I watched an hour, went to the grocery store for an hour while it was still playing, came home and watched for another hour and a half. :-)

Anyone ever seen Hysterical? Old comedy/horror spoof. The name says it all.

Didn't see it in the theaters, but recently bought and watched the dvd of Butterfly Effect. Great movie. And what a suprise ending. If you haven't see it, I encourage you to do so.

'So I married an axe murderer' is a classic, in my opinion. Note: Not horror, despite the title.

I like the coffee cup opening scene, for some reason. Adds something to the movie. Not sure what.

I saw Unbreakable on TV recently...
a lot better than I was expecting beforehand. Maybe I'm just cynical about TV.

I thought that was a good movie when I saw it back in the theatres. Wasn't that supposed to be the first of 3 movies? It ended in such a way to lead to a second part...

In the real world, Mr glass isn't going to break out of prison and bug the hero...

And the FBI would just track him down if he did... he'd be pretty high on the wanted list, after all.

I thought the ending was pretty solid.

I liked Unbreakable. It was the best of the 3 movies so far IMO (Sixth Sense and Signs being the other 2). As much as I want to see his upcoming The Village, I'll probably only see it when it comes out on dvd. I hope to see some movies over the Labor Day weekend; that's when my wife goes to a family reunion in another part of the state. I usually stay behind so I can work my part-time job. If she goes this year, then I plan on seeing quite a few movies. I just hope some of the ones I want to see are still around by then.
