Children of men was OK at best.

The Queen - We felt as though we had the Royal Family and Tony Blair in our living room for a couple of hours!! We enjoy good character-study type movies, and this was certainly one, and much-enjoyed. And it will be re-watched very soon, so we can capture some of the dialogue, expressions, and the like, we know we probably missed during our first viewing. Thought everyone played their roles very well -- Helen Mirren was phenomenal. The quality of the video transfer was just 'ok' - had expected better.

Le Petit Lieutenant - A straight-forward, methodical French procedural police drama that follows the fate of an idealistic young detective, who takes a posting in Paris because there's not enough action in his town in Normandy, and his mentor, the tough, reformed-alcoholic inspector who leads his unit, as they investigate a series of attacks along the banks of the River Seine. Not a lot of action, but the devil is in the details as police work is more about hard work than exciting car chases and dramatic shootouts. And, for some reason, every cop in Paris seems to have a different movie poster on the wall behind their desk!

Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag comes with a WMV HD DVD-ROM disk. Non-anamorphic 720p and/or anamorphic 1080p WMV HD versions of the film are indeed must see.

I know it has been around for a while now but the wife bought me the Band of Brothers series for Christmas. I have been watching one or two disks every Sunday night since I got them and I just can't get enough. I truly have never seen anything like it. This has to be the most well done DVD ever. If you don't have this series I guaranty you nwon't be disappointed if you pick it up.

Deja Vu, is very good. The PQ is great and there's lots of blow stuff up audio. The movie itself has a great premise......connecting with the past. Its well acted....

Children of Men was crap.

Am I the only one who found it boring?? But the PCM Soundtrack sounded AMAZING!

The movie itself was boring and depressing.

Tonight is The Last King of Scottland

Watched this last weekend and, for the most part, quite enjoyed it. Whittaker's Amin was, at first, engaging but then became rather repetitive. I liked how they interwove the Entebbe situation.

Seems like Children of Men is getting a bad rap. I loved it! Perhaps the best movie I've seen this year!!!

Just watched Last King of Scotland. Great movie.

Children of Men was an average movie, if you were able to understand it.

Seems like Children of Men is getting a bad rap.Not on this site. The majority of people seem to have good things to say (http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=56839) about it. Some do not (http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showpost.php?p=528545&postcount=1233). ;)

Watched Smokin Aces & Rocky Balboa on the weekend

Smokin Aces- Thought it was very good, the movie moves along at a very quick pace, a lot of things going on all the time, had a couple too many characters in it, but overall, very good. 7/10.

Rocky Balboa- Have been a big fan of the rocky movies since the original, ( except rocky 5, that was horrible), this I thought was a fantastic way to finally bring it to a close, not a lot of fight scenes, much more about the fight of growing older when maybe you are not ready or willing just yet. anoter very good movie. 7.5/10

Talk to you later.

Finished Last King of Scottland.

Was awesome. Forrest Whittiker was amazing. I wasn't expecting much but the ending was very good.

I've gone through tons of movies in 06-07 (New house, new setup). I think this has been a great year for movies.

I have to watch The Good Sheppard still. This weekends project.
Also, In the first few stages of 24: Season 5.

10 Items or Less - Morgan Freeman plays an actor researching a role for an upcoming movie who's left stranded at a Latino grocery store by an over-zealous PA, so he hooks up with a cashier, played by Paz Vega, for a ride home. But first she has to run some errands. It's a classic clash of cultures, the wealthy, worldly actor versus the working class cashier, trapped together in her beat-up Gremlin as they challenge and, ultimately, learn from each other. It's low-budget and not without its occasional charms, but the pacing lags at times, which is saying something for an 82-minute movie.

Who the $%#*@ is Jackson Pollock? - An eclectic cast of characters populate this little documentary about a feisty trucker who takes on the art establishment when she becomes convinced her $5 thrift shop treasure could be a genuine Jackson Pollock painting that might be worth up to $50 million.
