I wonder if somebody can help me, i am trying to find a very old film to buy somebody as a gift, it is called SPEED and it starred Lee Majors, i have hunted high and low for it but to no avail, i have goggled it, yahooed it, i get informaiton on it, but for some reason cant purchase it, please help me if you can.

Season 3 of Meerkat Manor is getting ready to start here in the US.

On Animal Planet - starts tomorrow night, Aug 10th. There is a 1/2 hour re-cap show of the first 2 seasons - with the 1/2 hour season 3 premier right after that.

Now I'm not the type of person to watch shows like this, but this one has me hooked. It's like a reality show - with commentary to always keep you aware of what is going on - but since it is animals, they don't "preform" for the camera or anything like that.

Start to watch it - bet you get hooked also.

Night at the museum, I watched it this morning, a great film for all the family.

coan.net: Thanks for that.. so it's not backwards.. we are viewing it from the opposite side of the wearers view. So its on purpose then! thanks!

Rose: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/theorderlyroom/f/faqflag.htm

Just watched the second movie in as many weeks where we see the US national guard in the movie is in uniform and the US flag is backwards on the right shoulder..
(hills have eyes 2 and Black Snake Moan)
 Is this a Guard tradition or are the movie guys putting the negatives in backwards? Any input from US folks who know the answer would be appreciated.. Its stumping us!

Rose: No I have not heard of that one.

Rose: I just looked it up and I am surprised the lead actor did,nt get reconised.

Mousetrap: Ive never been a big fan of DiCaprio either... He did ok in this. Did you see The Departed? Not a bad movie either with him in it.

You know I was surprised that Forrest won an award for the King of Scotland. The lead character wasn't really recognized at all and did a great job acting in that!

Rose: Yes he played a good part in that. I was surprised as I don,t really like him.

Mousetrap: Very good films.. Have seen them both in the last month or so.
I was surprised at King of Scotland as I knew nothing really about Amin so it was quite an eye opener. What a murderous tyrant.
DiCaprio did well in Diamond.

I watched Blood Diamond and the Last King of Scotland this week. Great films or at least I thought so.

coan.net: Are you still collecting Disney Points?

Does anybody kno who got through last night semi-final in  "Britains got Talent"?

Rose: I haven't seen it, but:

"Though the original title referred only to the mythological faun, the English title refers to the faun-like Greek god Pan. Del Toro has stated that the faun featured in the film is not actually Pan."

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pans_labyrinth

Pans Labyrinth.

Has anyone seen this movie. I just watched it.. One question.. WHO IS PAN?

coan.net: Oh My
Gowd!
My son has been talking about it for months..has seen trailers and showed his dad but I kept ignoring them.. So i go to the trailers you posted tonite and.... WOW! it will be a great summer movie! thanks!!!!

WOW - I just watched the preview to this movie - which I always loved transformers so I was probable going to watch the movie no matter what..... but figured it would be some cheezy type of thing - but WOW

It kind of reminds me of Independence Day with Will Smith - just a "BIG" summer movie

TarantinoFan:  Aww to too bad youre on PAL.. I cant help you out as we are NTSC.. Ive gotten quite a few good flicks from Ebay..  Will send you a note on how to get the movies you need!

Rose: I have El Mariachi and Desperado as a set with Directors commentary. I haven't had a chance to watch El Mariachi yet (only got it a short while ago and gotta be careful of the kids. LOL )

I have seen DTD 2 and 3 and I agree they aren't as good as the first one.

We get PAL over here. I am a bit wary about ebay. I bought music DVD's from there and got 4 burns! Yeah they worked but they were just computer DVD's in slimline cases with no covers so I am very wary.

Kewl to meet you too.

TarantinoFan: Desperado was a fantastic movie! El Miriachi the first in the Desperado series was a small budget but a good start to the story line. (rodriguez is a great director, not fond of his spy kid movies but now that he has kids....) Once upon a time in Mexico wasnt bad but too much Johnny Depp and not enough Antonio and the Antonio storyline
Dusk till Dawn 2 an 3 arent keepers but worth watching.. 
Sin City is definitely a cult classic, love the dark movies.. Thats why I know Grindhouse will be amazing!  Can you get the movies you miss off Ebay? (You have NTSC or PAL videos?)

Kool to meet someone with the same taste in movies (not in to typical chick flicks!)

Rose: They have only just started advertising that one here today. I am so annoyed that we miss quite a few movies. I had to get 4 Rooms from the UK because it was never released here.

I think my next acquisition will have to be Killing Zoe. So far I own Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Dusk til Dawn 1, Four Rooms, Sin City, Kill Bill 1+2, Jackie Brown, True Romance and although he wanted to disown it I also have Natural Born Killers in my collection. And there is Desperado and Once Upon A Time In Mexico as well.

I watched this movie this weekend. It was great! I would recommend it to anyone. =)

Definitely one of my favs was resevoir Dogs.  First time I saw it about 10 years
ago I was wowed by it. Then I had to see Dusk till dawn ( A-1)  I cant
wait for Grindhouse to some out! That is going to be awesome!

Oceans Apart: You know ya gonna be watching a damn good film , when Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellwenger (sp) are in it.

Oceans Apart: I agree! I enjoyed that movie very much.

I watched Cold Mountain last night, what a brilliant film

Anna Nicole Smith just died.. 

Tuesday: lol Another Sam fan!!

Summertop: I seen Rocky Balboa also - my thoughts are it is worth a movie rental if you seen the other Rocky movies - otherwise, you won't miss anything if you skip it.

One movie I watched recently and really liked was Children of Men

I took my family to see this movie...It felt like it Stallone's "farewell" to this character. It dealt more with the aging character and less with boxing, but the character development wasn't there. Overall I felt the story was shallow. I would only give it two and a half stars.

in 1933:  The first episode of the ''Lone Ranger'' radio program was broadcast on station WXYZ in Detroit.


It was definitely not a flop.

BIG BAD WOLF: if i can help you in any way just let me know where to look on the gvd abd if it's there to fond i'll send you what you need...i know i'm in canada but i'm sure what your looking for is still since most of what we get is from the US.

Tuesday: Plus I checked, Hardees put their commercials on their website, they have 12 up right now - but they do not have this new one yet (in case others wanted to watch it and comment on it.)

http://www.hardees.com/ontv/

Tuesday: I did not care for the commercial - but I think that is mostly due to the fact I do not like their chili cheese burger that they are trying to promote.

danheg: that and a few others, yes.

Nirvana: I think she was also in the Ten Commandments with charleton Heston

Yvonne DeCarlo best known for her role in 'The Munsters'.

*** This message is mostly directed towards US DVD Buyers

On recent Disney DVD Movies, you can get "Movie Reward Points" inside the movies. This includes many of the Disney/Pixar cartoons, along with the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Anyway, if you are buying these movies and don't plan on collecting the points - feel free to send me a private message with the point code.

When I last looked, the system they had to collect points was not very good. Even if you purchased every single DVD they release, you still would not have enough points for any of the "good" things. So I figured I would start to ask others who may not collect them and see if they wanted to share them.

So keep me in mind if you are not going to use & collect them. Thanks!

For any Kevin Smith fans out there, Tuesday was a good day with the DVD releases of:

Clerks II
An Evening with Kevin Smith 2
Now You Know ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286855/ )
