Movies, what to watch...

This is only to see what others are wanting to go see, or have seen and recommend. I'm just being curious!


What movies are you wanting to go watch at the moment?


Or what movies at the Video store do you recommend?


Atm, I really want to go see Precious, or It's complicated. Last 2 movies I saw were Avatar and The Lovely Bones. Dp and I go to the movies quite often, at least once a month otherwise we rent instead, although that will probably change once bubs arrives.

Alec Baldwin could never be sexy, surely... Ew
I definitely want to see that movie though! And once I work out what Nine is about (the trailer just shows all these big names and never explains the movie!) I'll probably want to see that too.

What's Precious about? From what I've seen it's a 16 year old girl pregnant with her second child who... Sings? Doesn't sound that great :/

ETA that I've heard such good things about Sherlock Holmes, that's the next movie I want to watch!

oh precious... thats got oprah in it (i think it was oprah)... i wouldnt mind seeing that - i think its based on a true story. probably very loosely based tho.

amend that - oprah is an executive producer. it does have lenny kravitz and mariah carey in it... and i couldnt find anything about it being fact based in any way. oh but it is based on a book!

it reminds me a bit - but only cause of its dark content - of Christain F... a move i saw YEARS ago with my mum about a drug using teenager.

I quite like Steve Martin, he makes me laugh. Alec Baldwin though... Hmm haven't seen a whole lot of movies with him in them...

Lovely Bones was alright I guess, I'd read the book so that was why I wanted to see it, it was pretty true to the book, but there was a few things they didn't include, or changed...

As far as I know Nine is about a guy trying to make a stage show musical isn't it? That's what I got from the trailer I saw.

I cried during the trailer for Precious, that never happens to me so I'll blame hormones , but might wait til that comes out on dvd then watch it.

DP saw Sherlock without me, he took his little brother to see it.

Who can afford to go to the movies now days!! Wanted to take Alia in hols but it was going to cost us a bomb!

If you go to Village (Skycity) cineams on Tuesdays its a lot cheaper, most movies are about $15.50 on any other day/night.

I love animated movies, seen Avatar and loved it... want to see Planet 51 and Chipmunks : The Squeakle (sp?)

Precious is about a teenage girl being abused in more ways than one by both parents and ends up pregnant to her father... its apprently right up there in all the reviews... Dont think I will go and see it myself though.. I leave 'serious' movies for when I'm at home and can react however I like without the general public seeing the messy after-effects.

Oooh, I wanna see valentines Day too...

We've been to see Avatar and Sherlock Holmes since Alex was born. I didn't get what all the fuss was about with Avatar (although I didn't see it in 3D) - the story was just like Dances with Wolves, and isn't going to the movies supposed to be about the story, not the effects?? Or is that just me?

I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes though - but then I am a big Robert Downey Jr fan.

In terms of video store movies - my favourite movie ever is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I'd HIGHLY recommend it!

I'm going to see Nine tonight. I keep getting asked what it's about and actually have no idea really!

I'd still like to see The Lovely Bones despite some of the reviews and Avatar as well.

Judging by the shorts for the rugby one, Matt D puts on an accent, or am I hearing things? lol...

I enjoyed Year One, although it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be...

I actually really liked Little Miss Sunshine.

I suppose one of my favourite movies of all time would be Fargo...

I can't seem to watch any movies with Rachel McAdams anymore, well not after the Notebook, lol.
