Curses! I narrowed it down to two and you have to go throw a kink in the mix. :p

I'll check the playing times and whatever one starts first I'll go see.

:) I watched that the other night too. I just love Spencer's monologue at the end. I hadn't seen that film in years.

Spencer Tracy was a pro. I love a lot of his movies. I just saw 'Judgement of Nuremberg' the other day. Wow, he was great in that.
:)

I ordered a film that GC recommended today and added the Tracy/Hepburn collection to the order. Gotta get that Super Saver Shipping!

Well it was the same direc tor from the stage version making her film debut. I haven't seem it yet myself, but it's on my Netflix list.

Going back a page or so the the X-men talk... If the chatter I've been reading so far this week holds true, they seem to be going the spin-off route rather than following it up with an X-Men 4. They already had Wolverine and Magneto films in development and seem to be pushing to make them happen a bit faster now. Today I read of two more potential films. One about Emma Frost, a mutant who never even appeared in the first 3 films and the other film would be more about the lives of Xavier's young students with less of the save the world stuff.

I don't know why, but we saw Date Movie the other night. if I had a vomit smiley I would totally use it to describe that film. Most of it was so dumb that it wasn't even funny. Worse than that, Many scenes were just so disgusting that I couldn't bare to watch them. I literally turned away and didn't look a couple of times.

Too bad Mel didn't take the helm on this one. I think it would have been funnier.

Well, I'm not planning on seeing An Inconvenient Truth, but I oft read reviews of movies I am not planning on seeing.....here's a scorcher on that movie and Gore.

NY Post review

If what is in this review is accurate, there are two specific things that are laughable. First, he compares himself to Churchill. Second, he claims that China is on the cutting edge of environmentalism. I don't know which is funnier, frankly. I'd have to say the second.

As a follow up, since it is too late to edit, I will point out that most reviews are very positive about it. Rotten Tomatoes has an 87% rating last I checked.

Still won't be seeing it.

We just finished watching 'Transamerica'. I really liked it. Felicity Huffman was great and the actor playing her son was great, too. It's a simple story and moves too slow in places, but it's well done. There's one huge problem in this film that ruined the last 1/4 for me. There's an actress playing her mother that is so over the top that she made me want to puke. Ugh. Almost ruined the whole thing for me. But luckily, she wasn't in the bulk of the film.

So, I really liked it. :)

With that being said, I wished a man had played the character of Bree in the film. I loved what Huffman did with the role, but to see a male in the part would have brought us right into Bree's world completely. There were moments in this film where I thought, 'Look it's Felicity Huffman with no make-up and a low voice.' That kind of thing takes away from a film rather than adds to it. I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself right, but to see a man (Bree was born a man going through the process of becoming a woman) making the transition is much more compelling than seeing a female pretending to be a man who wants to be a woman.

I recommend it. And I will go to my deathbed saying that 'Travellin' Thru' is a much better song than 'It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp'. :rolleyes:

I bought the book (Gore's IC), but haven't given it a look yet. It'll be a while before it plays here.
