3 movies:
1. Brokeback Mountain - Boring, overrated, predictable, too long.
2. Good Night, and Good Luck - Interesting, historically accurate, could have been more.
3. Walk The Line - Terrifically acted, true story, should have been best picture.
What do you think? Have you seen any or all of these movies? What's your opinion?

I've seen none of them Mark... We had 'the producers (musical) on DVD and I thought it was for want of another word - rubbish!

I think that would have been my opinion too, Dave. I'm not into that sort of thing...indeed the very idea of any comedy/musical using Hitler and his henchmen as foils for their peculiar brand of humour strikes me as being crass and insulting to the many victims and their families of the holocaust he wreaked in Europe.
I've rented for this coming weekend 'Capote' and 'King Kong' (the current remake), and shall duly report my opinions following the weekend.

Well, I didn't watch any movies over Memorial Weekend. I attended several parties for a wedding, viewed, visited and tasted wines at several wineries in Sonoma Valley, California, and did the tourist thing in San Francisco. Oh Yes visited the town I spent my grade school years in in. Then lots of plane time. I don't rent many movies  because cable is so great. I watch a great deal of Discovery, History, National Geographic and the programs on BBC. Between my job, my family and friends, reading and how could I possible leave out my garden, I have less time to viewing movie--which I love. I know whaaa whaaa whaa--how about wine with your cheese. ;D |
