Free For All Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm interested to hear opinions about the current crop. The Day the Earth Stood Still.......is the remake worth seeing? More than just a bunch of CGI? Benjamin Button.....very interesting premise, wondering if it will work. Anyone see Australia? It looked interesting, but I've been hearing bad reviews. I did see the new Bond (Solace) and enjoyed it. Whatever weaknesses it had, I do like Daniel Craig and the way they've rebooted the series. Others? This is usually the time for the studios to roll out the "Oscar contenders". Anything worth checking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 These days I just put them in our Netflix queue. 9 bucks a month, we get 2 flicks a week and my feet don't ever stick to the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do Netflix too. Very convenient although sometimes I get a crappy DVD that wants to stall out a lot. Still, some movies are worth seeing in the big theatre.

jazzbo Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 The Day the Earth Stood Still was a popcorn matinee movie. . . okay. Australia was better, a chick-flick (every woman in the place sucked their breath in when Jackman appeared in a tux at a dinner party). It was a melodrama in the classic sense. . . there were scenes that were "too much" for reality, and were there to serve and propel the story's aims.

Nate Dorward Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Truthfully, except for taking the little one to see Bolt, I have no plans to see the current slate of films in the theatres. Somehow none of them looks that appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the tux got more indrawn breaths! Bolt is fun, some amazing 3D stuff. Your kid will love it Nate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Slumdog Millionaire was fantastic. Gran Torino looks promising as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 My wife and I had a good time seeing Slumdog Millionaire. My older son went to the movies with some friends yesterday and ended up seeing Bolt. He said it was very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
