After spending three hours of my life that I will never get back, Nicole Kidman uttered a line I won't repeat that literally caused everyone in the theatre to let out a very audible groan.
Second is:
Geez, for some reason it's another Tom Cruise movie. I may think he's a freak, but there are few good movies he made, these are not among them. Of course Top Gun rates up there as one of the good ones as does A Few Good Men, but that may be because of Jack Nicholson.
Third has a great actress and a horrible one.
I wonder who in their right mind advised Meryl Streep to appear with Rosanne.
And on the other hand, the hands-down winner of the best movie of all time is:
I LOVE Morgan Freeman in nearly everything he does.
My assessment is not up for debate.
OK, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post your comments. That just means that you will be wrong and I will be right. Kinda like every other day of the week.
Update:
Oh wait, I have to put another movie in 2nd place. I complete forgot about this one.
I went to watch it with a friend of mine and remember telling her at the end if I had wanted to listen to a bunch of screaming female teenages for two hours I could have just stayed home. Bad bad movie. Has Angelina ever made a good one?
It was 30 years ago. Before remote controls were the norm.
I was staying all night at her house and I wanted to watch a movie when she and her husband were deciding to go to bed.
So I asked her, "Is it really scary?" She said no.
So off to bed they went, probably 10 pm or so and I began to watch the movie alone.
The opening scenes were not scary of course, but the music, oh God, the music. It began to creep me out immediately.
I laid on the floor, close to the TV, so I could turn down the sound when it seemed to get too loud. It started out that the music was the loudest.
Of course, the storyline was fascinating and the cast, amazing.
The first time I had to quickly change the channel was when I first saw these two.
They started to freak me out.
Everytime they showed the girls, I reached up and changed the channel.
The night got later and later and I felt very alone in the house.
Between the "Danny's not here, Mrs Torrence" and the "REDRUM" I was hooked and spent the late evening jumping up to change the channel whenever the blood came streaming through the hallways.
I could not believe my own sister told me this movie was NOT scary.
To this day it's one of the best and scariest movies ever made.
The next morning when I talked to her about the show, my sister said, "Well, I got to thinking about that, I guess it's not really scary if you're watching it in the middle of the afternoon with a house full of people, probably watching it all alone at night it would be scary."
Yeah, thanks for that sis.
And here I am thirty years later watching it alone late at night. Bob went off to bed, we're in our Florida vacation home and I have my internet friends to keep me from feeling too scared and the remotes right next to me to change when it gets too scary.
We don't see alot of movies. Some years we are lucky if we manage to see one or two. A couple months ago it seemed there were several coming out that looked interesting.
You might remember my post on The Blind Side. Wonderful movie.
When we walked out of the theatre, Bob said, "Sandra Bullock should win an Oscar for that one."
I was surprised because Bob doesn't really get into awards shows and we both get confused between the Oscars and the Emmy's and then they throw in the Golden Globes.
So, Bob was right. She got the Oscar. She was amazing, but I still liked Tim McGraw in it too. No, his performance wasn't worthy of an award, but I liked the way they played together and I thought he did a decent job considering he's a singer not an actor.
As a side note, I'm hoping I can get back to some regular work hours soon. Just finished the second straight week of over 80 hours and it appears this one won't be much better since I've already put in 14 hours.
I few years back we joined one of those DVD clubs. We don't buy alot, just enough to get the 5 or 6 for a penny and then enough to fulfull the obligation and then quit.
Anyway, I had ordered several movies. One that got good reviews and had one of the most amazing kid actors and was recommended by my sister.
I put the DVD in and Bob asks, "What kind of movie is this?"
I said, "I don't know, I think it's one of those 'feel good' movies."
It caught our interest right away.
Excellent movie.
But.
Feel good?
By the end I was literally sobbing out loud like a little girl.
One of best movies ever, but Pay It Forward is NOT a feel good movie. But then again, I have to admit, I'm a sucker for a movie that makes me cry.
Wait. I have to stop now. It's on TV now and I need to find a heavy duty Kleenex.
