they are relatively new,been watching them:
distant shores
doc martin
At Home With The Braithwaites

Has any one seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yet? I'm really iffy on renting it as I haven't heard anything one way or the other on it.

Rose: I've seen it, its really different to what I expected, definitely worth a rent - especially if you like Johnny Depp. He's great in it, gives a totally different Willy Wonka than Gene Wilder did. Just don't expect the exact same story if you watch it!

Actor
Pat Morita, whose portrayal of the wise and dry-witted Mr. Miyagi in "The Karate Kid" earned him an Oscar nomination, has died. He was 73

BIG BAD WOLF: yes so sad i liked him as an actor

A good laught, lots of swearing in it though but rated 15 here.
He hates smokes, drinks, hates kids you name it! Very enjoyable! Does that sound strange? LOL!

I watched that a week or so ago! My kids heard the title and wanted to watch it, luckily I said not until after I've seen it. The answer is 'no'!

Great comedy for the adult crowd.

Its a great movie for the whole family my kids loved it. If you havent seen it you should.

hotmommy22: We rented it Friday night. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Will see it again it was so good!
I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it!

hotmommy22: I seen the commercials for the movie on TV & that is something I would actually BUY! I would get it but we have a DVD player but not a TV that is capabile :o(

YIPPEE!!! HOT DIGGITY DOG!! HOORAY!!! Sorry about the overjoy & putting in Caps! He got what he deserved. I have NEVER seen a player w/ that much arrogant attitude & using intimidation ( yelling & somewhat screaming) when being confronted w/ the way he was acting (Margaret fiasco)earlier in the game. He talks about having sportsmanship & always having it but his true colors really came out Thurs. night. Calling everyone "scumbags" & saying that he hopes that they all get attacked by crocodiles outloud. He says that he hates being lied to & being blindsided but that is what he was doing all the time. Jaime actually said when he was voted out that he was blindsided & that's how you play the game! Talk about being 1 of the biggest DONKEYS ( pardon my language.)

MagicDragon: I agree with you. It was about time they voted Judd out. He didnt expect to be voted out he actually thought he was gonna win.

hotmommy22: He even said why they voted him out because he was tight w/ Bobby John, Jaime & Gary ( which is totally bonkers on his part except for Jaime) Did you see the Gary's reaction? He had that satisfying smile which was priceless! I checked out the Survivor part of the network. Judd is still po'd at everyone. A caller called in & mentioned to him that he shouldn't have used the language he was using & he said "what do you want me to do, give them hugs & kisses"? He is a very immature person & doesn't even deserve to win anything in my opinion.

If you get the SciFi channel, I recommend The Triangle - it is a 3 part mini-series with the first of 3 shows tonight. (repeat again tonigh, and repeat again before 2nd show starts tomorrow).

I'm watching the first repeat right now since I did not pay attention very much at first, but the show really caught my attention as it went through.

BIG BAD WOLF: A news story about the show:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/scifiplaysthetriangle

Gregg Hoffman, the producer of both Saw & Saw 2 has passed away at the age of 42 from Natural Causes

ATTENTION: Season 4 of 24 is out on DVD!!

watched a couple of decent films this week, crash and united states of leland both quite powerful dramas.

grant: Crash with Sandra Bollock and Don Cheadle? well done movie!

yes that one, not the cronenburgh one, which is powerful in a different way!!! still a good film though

what a good movie, put football factory to shame, i would put it along side i.d. in its genre and effectiveness

grant: Is that that one about the moshing pit gang that goes 'round painting all the streets green in quiet suburban america?

death becomes her---starring cher & madonna
frankenstein --starring nick nolte
Myra Breckinridge---starring michael jackson

luckycat yes thats the movie they paint the street and then the credits roll, its a short

LOL nobleheart........nice

A surprise hit (in my books)is the new movie 'Saints and Soldiers' out on DVD not long ago. No big names in it but definitely worth a rental if you like any type of war movie

Rose: Cheers Rose, my other half likes war films, I'll give this one a try.

harley: YOU wont be dissapointed at all. We rented that and the new one 'Great Raid'. By far saints an soldiers was the better or the two.

Rose: I don't normally watch them, they're not my kind of film and tend to go on and on and on and on......!

harley: Some do but some war flicks are really worth a watch. Saving private Ryan for one (tissue film tho for sure) Even the 'we were soldiers'(Mel Gibson) is a good one for folks who arent war movie crazy!

grant: Not Cronenburgh but Cronenberg... :)

Crash from Cronenberg is brilliant.

Andre Faria: i'm glad you like the film if not my seplinlg

Can anyone recommend some good films about weather? I know Twister and the Day After Tomorrow but I'm struggling to think of any more Especially ones that are suitable for under 16's too.

harley: How about "The Monkey In The Wind"
About a cute chimp who gets caught in the wind and finds out it's really coming from.. well I don't wanna give away the End!

LuckyCat9: Sounds interesting but I was thinking more along the lines of disaster movies with hurricanes and/or twisters, floods etc. Forces of nature.

harley: Try Volcano (Tommy lee jones)
Worth a watch. Might look for one on DVD called category 5 (was made for tv but is on DVD but not sure if you could get it)

Rose: Thanks Rose, I'll look for those. I like TLJ.

harley: me too. Hubba hubba eh? Dunno what it is about that man but... swoooon!

Rose:

harley: Try Perfect Storm or Johnstown Flood. For fun thriller mixed with natural disaster, there is always Hard Rain.

whatdidyousay: Perfect Storm! Yes, I've heard of that. Thanks, I've listed all these and I'll put them on my list. Cheers!

harley: Check out a movie called Night of the twisters. It's an older movie but is worth watching.

Nightstorm: thanks, I will! It might take me a few months to get & watch these but I'll let you know what I think of them. I appreciate all the input.

OK 24 fans! Does anyone know how many days until the new season?? I still have half of last season to watch on DVD. I hope I still have enough time!

SueQ: You'll only need 24 hours to see all


Each season has around 20 hours, you will need less than a week.

SueQ: Sue I did some searching around and found out it is on Fox January 15. Get this a 4 hour season premiere. They are showing I guess that last two hours on the 16.. Hurry an get that last season watched!

FANTAS and Rose: OK...I only have four episodes of last season to go! I should be able to finish those before Jan 15th. 4 hour sesaon premiere...wow!
