I have downloaded a couple of movies. 3 reasons - A) My wife, for a while, was, due to health reasons, unable to go to movies. So I downloaded stuff she wanted to see. B) Stuff that's unavailable on region 1. C) Stuff I had seen in the theater, and have since bought in the official version, but that I NEEDED to have.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hello thread! I don't think I've ever ventured into here before. Just watched Batman Begins and Y Tu Mama Tambien within the past 48 hours. Liked both exceedingly, albeit for different reasons.

Hi Fay! I also like both movies exceedingly. So much so that I may be going to the cinema tonight for a second viewing of Batman Begins. In other news, Katie Holmes is an anagram of 'Tom likes a he'. IJS.
Ireland seems to be bucking the downward trend in cinema attendance. More cinemas are opening every few weeks, and box office has been increasing every year. Odd.

BWAH-HA-HA-HA!
I think I just broke something laughing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are any of these worth seeing?
War of the Worlds
Bewitched
Land of the Dead
Cinderella Man

Land of the Dead has gotten good reviews so far.
It would be wrong of me to pay to see Batman Begins and go peek at War of the Worlds instead, wouldn't it?

Hey. New board.
I hear decent things about all of those but Bewitched. Though I've seen none, here's a synopsis of what I've heard:
1) WotW: a bit horror-y, with cool special effects. Apparently Dakota Fanning, though still a bit creepy, not as creepy as usual and doing that good acting thing. Tom Cruise, decent not too crazy. Lots of explosions.
2) Bewitched: avoid, avoid, avoid. Bad, bad, bad.
3) Land of the Dead: It's a Romero zombie movie. Good if you like 'em, bad if you don't.
4) Cinderalla man: A middling Oscar-style movie that was released, inexplicably, in the summer. Russell Crowe, Renee Zelweger, and boxing. Pretty intense fight scenes, had friends that couldn't watch. Not as dramatic as, say, Million Dollar Baby - more of an actual fight movie. Decent if that's your bag, but nothing super-duper special.
Like I said, haven't seen any of them, so take these summaries as what they are: things I've read on the internets. Should see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants if you haven't, though. Because I pimp it whenever humanly possible.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked Cinderalla Man a lot. It's old-fashioned, but the acting is impeccable.

*Nods* That's about what I hear. If it's your kind of flick, it's really good at being your kind of flick.
Personally, I dislike all three of the main elements (RC, RZ, and period boxing) and so am unlikely to see it. But it's a personal issue, nothing against the movie itself.
