See any good movies, lately?
Have you enjoyed any new ones, or perhaps, re-lived a classic?
Went to see 'Star Trek' with DD yesterday. The special effects were amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone who is, or ever was, a Trekkie.

Think Like A Man
Saw this romantic comedy on Sunday with a girlfriend who just got stung by a fellow she had been dating. the movie is based on a book by Steve Harvey and the boundaries women have to set when romantically involved with a man. Some good laughs and some very good pointers. Most important it helped my friend smile and realize that this fellow was not the right guy for her.Carlch64

I love foreign films!
I never tire of viewing "Under the Tuscan Sun" with Diane Lane --- always uplifting. Other faves are Midnight in Paris, Miss Potter, Jane Eyre, Il Postino (very long with Eng subtitles), Cinema Paradiso (love it too), These films are a great escape -- The English Patient (Ralph Fiennes always nice to look at), Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabiamalkan

The Intouchables
I highly recommend this movie. It's French and it's a hilarious comedy but still has a deep meaning to it. I can't remember when I laughed so much during a movie, I am sure you will all like it,too;)malkan

Vegucated
I saw vegucated last week and it touched me in a deep way. I recomend it. It is a documentary about a woman (vegan) who takes 3 New Yorkers as an experiment about becoming vegan. It is funny, light in many ways, intense in others. It is real, it is thoughtprovoking, it is sad, it is happy. The health transformations are amazing. It was worth my time to watch.snorklee

Thank you, Jas...
I will watch this one. It sounds great. I always think of going vegan, but have never been fully committed to it, instead becoming a loose vegetarian who eats fish. This movie might be the push I need. :)snorklee

Oh, Jas...
I watched this movie and I am forever changed. It was sad beyond belief. I watched and said aloud, "Please don't show me the cruelty inflicted upon animals.... but it did.... in a wrenching though dignified way. I can not eat meat again. It affected me this much. Thank you for this, dear Jas. It was the push I needed.coco1960

Calendar Girls
I love this movie. You're inspiring me to watch it again. My favorite quote is when Annie is explaining to one of the women that she will have to be topless, and she says, "I'm 55 years old. If I'm not going to get them now, when am I?" Love it!coco1960

Bridget Jones..the Edge of Reason
I can so relate to Bridget and being single. Nice guy vs bad boy. lol Then I took the quiz at the end of the movie to see who I am suited to...turns out neither...seems I like being single and too much of a free spirit to settle down...oh my...but a nice guy who can be a bit naughty....hmmm..lol..actually I am dating a nice guy right now...still early ...guess time will tell. xo Mjsnorklee

The Artist & The Descendants
We watched both films yesterday. The Artist is wonderful! It took a little while to get into it ... but it's a truly great film and a lovely change from the norm. The lead character is played by the charming French actor Jean Dujardin and there are surprises throughout which will make you laugh. The Descendants was a good film too (who can resist gorgeous George?) His character was quite different to the usual suave characters he plays ... but shows his adaptability in acting. I won't say much more so as not to spoil it for those who have not yet seen it :-) However, I did love that it was filmed in Hawaii and reminded me of our holiday there.annii50

Ava, I just watched The Descendants this weekend. Unbelievably, I seem to live in a vacuum and had no idea what it was about. I sobbed through most of the movie. However, George Clooney does the best job in this movie. He is a wonderful actor and in my opinion this movie was way out off his comfort zone in which he usually stars in, but he pulled it off brilliantly, hence, the tears. What is on your agenda for today? AnniiVintage1944

Midnight in Paris
Beautifully, lovingly filmed scenes of Paris, and the always adorable Owen Wilson, along with some deliciously unlikeable characters. A sweet, pretty little whimsical movie - very fun!Vintage1944

slowly rewatching my Audrey Hepburn collection...
You can never go wrong there! Also, my husband took me to see "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (Daniel Craig's version) on Sunday, and I really enjoyed it. I was told the Swedish version was much better, so I expected to leave disappointed. Michael even liked it, and he didn't read the trilogy.Vintage1944

THE ARTIST
I enjoyed THE ARTIST - a one of a kind and amusing silent film photographed in black-and-white. Made in 2011 in France with french actors/acresses! A joy to see how all meaning and emotion is communicated only by facial expressions, and some simple subtitles in English. Thumbs up!Ava

Lost in Austen
I caught this on Netflix. It was a BBC miniseries about a young lady from London obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, and suddenly finds her own modern self in the middle of the novel, having switched places with Elizabeth Bennett. It's a fun little comedy of errors as she fumbles along and tries to steer people in the direction of the novel. Darcy must wait to meet Elizabeth! Jane must end up with Mr. Bingley, but somehow agrees to marry Mr. Collins! Frivolous and cute, with gorgeous costumes and scenery.Marilyn

The Red Violin
An older movie about a rare violin (1600's) and the journey it takes and tells the story of everyone who falls in love with this beauty. A nice rainy , early fall Sunday movie!
