It was very funny when Ricky Gervais said to Kate something like "Winslet, didn't I tell you? Do a holocaust movie and the awards just come rolling in." :D

ok i like this idea of recommending flicks
i watched fight club last year for the first time and also loved it a lot. a guy lost in his own head that's what i call it ;)

i watched abre los ojos recently and absolutely loved it!!!!! i like films that make me think. if watched vanilla sky about 5 years ago - 2 times in a row back then, and was happy to finally see the original film and it's much better. one part surely because there's no tom cruise starring in it ;)
i gave it a 9/10

and another film that i liked a lot is my sassy girl, the original korean version, it's sweet, beautiful and a little sad and based on an online blog someone wrote about his girl-friend. i didn't know that at the time i watched it, but it made the story even nicer :)
you can find huge parts of original blog translated from korean to english on imdb message boards.
8/10

the magic flute
visually breathtaking. sounds fantastic

" On the eve of the first global war a magical drama unfolds as Tamino sets forth on a perilous journey in pursuit of love, light and peace in a world afflicted by darkness, death and destruction. An eerie quiet descends over a landscape still untouched by conflict as Tamino waits anxiously with his fellow recruits for the command to go into battle. In the ensuing chaos he is transported to a twilight world caught between dream and nightmare where he is rescued from certain death by a trio of field nurses.

When Papageno (keeper of the canaries employed to detect the presence of gas in the trenches) stumbles onto the scene and attempts to take credit for saving Tamino, the Sisters dispatch the two soldiers on a deadly mission. The duo must rescue Pamina, the lovely daughter of the Queen of the Night, who has been kidnapped by the dark lord, Sarastro. What follows is a spectacular musical adventure in which the destiny of a pair of young lovers may help determine the fate of nations and the lives of millions. "
in surround sound wow

Well last night I watched
The Unborn- 4/10. I do love B horror movies. This had some definate scary moments but the best part of the cam was the feed back from the audience. Hilarious!!!

Doubt- 7/10. I said before, "Meryl Streep is one of the best actress alive" and this movie proves it. I hadnt really heard anything about it until the GG were posted but it was a very good film. A friend of mine told me it was a long running play which I did not know. It was a very well done script. I may have to back up and change my Best Actress vote.

Somewhat of a unique script. Wouldnt watch it again. Took me a bit the first time. It was indeed thought provoking. (Sorry about that Jack)
5/10

City of Ember - I thought it was a decent little flick, especially for what looks like a kids' adventure flick along the lines of The Golden Compass orThe Last Mimzy, or something - though I think it is based on a novel.

Some cataclysm befalls the surface of the world and so it is decided 'for the good of mankind' to store society underground in an electric and machine driven city called Ember. Once there, all knowledge of life outside the city would be erased, the people would basically be imprisoned, though through conditioning (and eventually time) they'd never notice. The original builders did leave instructions on how to leave the city, but they are sealed into a box with a time-release: 200 years later.

Over time the box is lost and ultimately trying to leave becomes a crime and the Mayor, the most powerful person in the city, wants to keep it that way. Despite the fact that the city is falling into complete disrepair endangering everyone.

Two kids learn that a group of people in the past had tried to leave he city, so they attempt it themselves.

I generally like Tim Robbins and Bill Murray, so that didn't hurt. Some special effects are cool, others are pretty mediocre. But overall I liked the allegory in the story.

Disclaimer: Lately, I've had more people tell me they haven't liked movies I've recommended to them, than have - so you've been warned.  ;) :D
