Avatar was amazing, wish I could have seen it there a dozen times. I was just entranced with the effects.<br /><br />I completely agree with you that some movies must be seen on the big screen. When I was younger and lived in California, I was always at the theater, but since I've grown old and decrepit I find most of them very uncomfortable. So, I always have to ask myself, is this movie worth the pain? lolShellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-20066267404785871712010-05-14T22:35:15.928+02:002010-05-14T22:35:15.928+02:00Rhonda, some movies are just meant to be seen on t...Rhonda, some movies are just meant to be seen on the big screen! I save a lot for dvds, but when summer comes round, full of movies that are mostly to be admired for their special effects... most of them I see that one time on the big screen and then never again.<br />But wish I had an IMAX in my neck of the woods, never been to one! :s<br /><br />Andrew, I guess I'll check out the crazy Nanny McPhee on dvd at some point, once I've seen the first! :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-89367622763057819092010-05-13T19:33:21.659+02:002010-05-13T19:33:21.659+02:00I am really looking forward to Jolie kicking some ...I am really looking forward to Jolie kicking some ass, and check out my review of Nanny McPhee 2, it's excellent.<br /><br />Iron Man 2 was fine, but I really didn't love it.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-16795119779111526472010-05-11T15:58:39.074+02:002010-05-11T15:58:39.074+02:00Oh, but I do love Angelina!Oh, but I do love Angelina!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-76758241986066155322010-05-11T15:58:07.315+02:002010-05-11T15:58:07.315+02:00These days I usually wait for the DVD to come out,...These days I usually wait for the DVD to come out, but I do make exceptions a couple of times a year. I saw Avatar at the IMAX and loved every minute.<br /><br />The Lightkeepers with Richard Dreyfus and Blythe Danner just opened in Los Angeles on the 7th. That's the one I'm waiting for to come this way. I'm a sucker for a good romance and this movie has two couples, one young and the other old (second time around for them) and Dreyfus as a cantankerous, woman-hating character appeals to me. Set in 1912 on Cape Cod is really my style, you know I love all that vintage stuff.Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-34402134866366271412010-05-07T20:56:40.516+02:002010-05-07T20:56:40.516+02:00DJan, if I go see Nightmare it will be out of pure...DJan, if I go see Nightmare it will be out of pure nostalgia for some fond youthful memories of the place where my family was happiest (and all of us under one roof!). Funny that it should be through a scary movie... but when you have a friend who insists on watching one of these almost every time she comes over... and she spent most weekends at our place... well those are a lot of memories!<br />Nope, no Netflix! We still have this old fashioned system called heading over to see what's new at the video rental place! ;o)<br /><br />Dive Girl, I would never (knowingly) spoil a movie! That's why most of my "reviews" are so vague, more a recount of my impressions! Specially in cases where I know I've seen the movie before most everyone else. Come back and tell us what you thought!<br />And yeah, badass Angelina = smiles! :o)<br /><br />Glad to be of service Nicky! We don't have dollar theatres over here, so if I want to see something on the big screen (vs dvd) I need to keep track of things and find the time and pay the price. Fortunately I still get a student discount! Just a euro off... but with the number of movies I see that adds up to a lot! :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-54730402808522144232010-05-07T19:08:46.124+02:002010-05-07T19:08:46.124+02:00I wanted to see Iron Man 2 soooo badly when the tr...I wanted to see Iron Man 2 soooo badly when the trailer came out that I was considering some sort of film espionage. (But, not being much of a spy, I just decided to wait.) After a while I lost my hyped-up feeling.Which is why you should only make me watch trailers about a week before (ADD, you know). Now that you've given it a thumbs-up, I'm excited again. I hope I can go watch it with my fiance - and if not...well...I live right across the street from a dollar theater so I can wait until it migrates there. :) <br />I'm terrified of the next Shrek because even though I've liked them all, they quality seems to be on a pretty sharp downgrade. I would hate to hate Shrek. (if that makes any sense at all)<br />The Karate Kid...well...I'm just on the fence. I sort of want to see it, but I can't find myself disagreeing with the wealth of snarky remarks I've heard while watching the trailer. I may slink off to the movie theater by myself one evening.<br />Also, very interested in The Last Airbender, but not sure I'll go catch it on the bigscreen. <br />As for Salt...well I just don't know. Jolie just doesn't do it for me as an actress, but I may watch it if it makes it to the dollar theater across the street. After all, $1 movie...<br />Great post!Nickyhttp://www.neolibarium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-1482127783162500722010-05-07T17:51:26.393+02:002010-05-07T17:51:26.393+02:00I almost didn't read this post - I'm going...I almost didn't read this post - I'm going to see Iron Man 2 tonight and didn't want you to reveal any spoilers.

I saw the trailer for Salt and thought I would see it, and we must have very different likes and dislikes, I would NEVER see Nightmare on Elm Street and will avoid Iron Man 2, since those action movies just tire me out. I look forward to hearing what you think of each of these movies as you see them! So Netflix works in your part of the world too, huh?DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
