Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Quite a good movie. Some things near the end got tied up a little too cleanly for my tastes read: the mother, but all in all a wonderful film. I mean, Judi Dench and Bill Nighy, not to mention the rest of the great cast... can't really go wrong.

Kim Novak is pretty, but not quite as pretty as Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca

Greg played Atticus Finch, the lawyer who defended Tom Robinson, but you are correct in that Henry Fonda was not in it. Did you also know that Robert Duvall played Boo Radley? I didn't know that for years, and it surprised me when I found out.

I watched all three The NeverEnding Story films. The first was a nostalgic trip to my childhood. The second wasn't as good, as they changed not only the actor and actress who played Bastian and the Child-like Empress (I know it was made 6 years later, which would have made them both far too old), but also the actor who played his father, putting in someone much younger. At least they kept Mr Coriander the bookkeeper. The third was a bit of a travesty, as they not only changed Bastain and the Child-like Empress yet again (only 4 years later here) , but they even changed the voice of the Luck Dragon, and the actor who played the Mr Coriander!

That is correct. Henry Fonda played juror no. 8 in 12 angry men, the voice of reasonable doubt. I thought one of those was needed in To Kill a Mockingbird. I will try to keep my brows not quite so high in the future.

Yeah but it had Jack Black.

So I went to see Snow White of Arc.
It also had exciting bits of King Arthur and LOTR thrown in. My favorite part was hearing several people in the audience gasp aloud what we were all reading on the end credits:
"STUNT DOUBLES FOR DWARVES!?!"

Prometheus.

A bit disappointed, I have to say. You could have made a good story-based movie out of it, or you could have made a good effects and explosions movie out of it, but I felt it was a bit of both and not enough of either.

Blatant set-up for a sequel at the end, too. Hope you try a bit harder next time, Mr. Scott.

I trust it was sufficiently frightening/suspenseful though? I'm likely seeing it near the end of the month with my girlfriend. So I guess what I'm really asking is if it's a good date movie. :P

We just watched the second half (roughly) of the first Star Trek movie, because it happened to be on TV. That's an interestingly bad movie right there, I tell ya. Some interesting philosophical concepts, sure, and the twist is pretty good (though actually trying to understand how it's supposed to all work is a futile effort, methinks), but that basically accounts for a full 3 minutes of the movie time. The rest of it is a depressing attempt to be like 2001: A Space Odyssey, which even 2010: A Space Odyssey couldn't do right (from what I understand).

Not really sure why McCoy was there at all, but he remains my favorite character.

So I went to see A. Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

As the theater was packed with 20-somethings and younger, I wondered how many knew the plot turning points were built around actual events from his life, albeit presented with dramatically fictional causes. There were a few testosterone-infested individuals loudly braying at the screen, and their loud guffaws at MT-L's warning that they would be late for the theater took me aback, but I digress. That said, I have to admit I rather enjoyed it; even the Matrix-and Vendetta-influenced slooooo-mooooo/stop action gouts of visual-effects axe-sprayed blood were OK.

I am curious as to how this film will be received/reviewed by the dedicated Creationist Cracker crowd...

[gronank]

I don't suppose John Wilkes Booth was a Vampire hunter hunter?

[PKMKII]

I am curious as to how this film will be received/reviewed by the dedicated Creationist Cracker crowd...

Question: are the vampires a metaphor for the Rebels/South/slave owner? Because I kind of got that impression from the previews.

Pretty much.
[SHOCKING SPOILER] If not for the shipment of confiscated silver being sent south via the Underground Railroad, to be fashioned into bayonets, miniballs, and such, the South would have won the day at Gettysburg. [/SHOCKING SPOILER]

You should pay more attention to the pirate threads Roy, could have saved you some money.
