MoviE ZonE


Comment here on any good (or dreadfully awful) movies that you see at a theater or at home. In addition to your opinions, try to include some interesting insights about the movie, perhaps some background details or your thoughts on the theme to a movie. Think Reading Dialogue Journal entry, but get down your ideas about movies! Here's an example:

'Napoleon Dynamite'

Movie Review: Some people love this movie and others hate it, but if you like unique and quirky movies, you'll probably watch this over and over like I did. Napoleon is a high school student, the sterotypical nerd, but he comes off as being a new kind of hero who does what he can to help his friend, Pedro, become school president.

Of course, you can tell us more than this if you like, but don't give away too much of the plot to spoil the ending!

i thought Napoleon Dynamite was about the most boring movie ever! Some parts were really funny, but it was slow and the movie had no plot, everything just seemed random. ♥ tara, gros bissous!

i like this movie because, some of the parts were so stupid that it was funny. Some of the actors acted like they had little common sence. Over all I think that it was a good movie!

I thought Napoloeon Dynatmite was an alright movie, not the best though. If you watch it more then once it is boring, cause nothing interesting really happens. Although I think Casino Royal the new James Bond movie was pretty good and worth watching.

I agree with you, Tara. I didn't like Napoleon Dynamite at all. It felt like it was about absolutely nothing and was really wierd. I gave up watching it after 45 min.

I watched The Prestige last weekend. It's now one of my favorite movies. I thought the movie was very different and intersting. It was kind of hard to understand though, because there were a lot of different things going on and the movie started at the ending.

Haha, Vanity, Step Up was so good. Channing looked sooooooo hot when he was dancing. <3

I have not even seen Napoleon Dynamite. SOunds very good. And tanner says its the best movie in the world. Well, I'll have to watch it later.
In fact I haven't really been to the movies in some time.
THe last movei I saw was Click. It was really good though it becomes kind of sad. It is about a guy that finds a remote control which begins to take control of his entire life, and he notices how he has wasted his whole life. . .

There's this great movie people should see called Mystery Men! Its not in theaters anymore but you can get it on DVD. Its about some really lame superheroes with really lame superpowers, and they try to fight crime and stuff. Very funny, in that kind of stupid, Napoleon Dynamite kind of way.

I'd give it 5 thumbs up! (if i had five thumbs.)

Casino Royale was a really good movie. I agree with Zaid it is really packed with action. I really enjoyed it cause it is a different kind of movie to what I would watch. I would recommend everyone to watch it.

Read the book Casino Royale. It gives som much more info and it teaches you how to play the games. The book is excellent and you can get the audio book off itunes. A must read and is probably as good as the movie.

I watched that movie (John Tucker must Die) and I agree it is prety fun and easy to connect to (^_^)

Have you heard about the Halo movie? It is coming out in 2008 now instead of 2007 because Fox and Universal studios quit the team. A new script is being written and it is now being produced by someone other than Peter Jackson.

I LOVE JOHN TUCKER.

But yes, it's a little like Mean Girls. I think they're both really good movies though.

i think for movies like John Tucker Must Die and Mean Girls there is so much advertising whether it is through interviews or billboards that it raises your expectations to a very high standard, and for me when i see the movie i am dissapointed. i think the less advertisement and praise a movie has, the more chance there is that it will impress you because your standards will be lower. for example, when i was going to see She's The Man with Amanda Bynes i thought "oh, this will just be some melodramatic cheesy chick flick." but throughout the movie i laughed and cried and it pulled so many emotions out of me.

i just watched about half an hour of Lost in Translation and i think it's probably one of the best movies ever. i find it hilarious and at the same time it makes you reflect on life and what you want to do with it.

[btw tanner no i havent seen big mommas but i hear its hilarious.] vanity: DONT WATCH MATERIAL GIRLS! well actually watch it so u can see how awful it is. in my opinion all the movies that hilary duff acts in seem to be really fake and kind of well....shallow? she never really plays the "ugly" person, like in A Cinderella Story she plays a loser but she still remains pretty and talented. k guys have a GREAT new year! xoxo TS
