Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Best one was Under the Tuscan Sun.
Busy week with tons of old movies like The Patriot.

"Avatar" - Really enjoyed the film.

I was surprised at the R rating since there's no graphic sex and no language or violence. The adult theme would be covered by PG-13, but I think there's one particular side point in the story that got them the R. I liked that it was a very mature film, looking at a situation from a different angle than I've seen previously.

I wonder if there were some issues with the rating. It seemed like the previews even into December had "This film not yet rated" on it.

Finding Nemo, DS' favorite movie. He asks to watch it everyday.

I saw It's Complicated last night and and really enjoyed it. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time.

What I heard on this was:

 

that they might have kept the PG-13 rating even with some minimal pot smoking but that since there were no negative consequences shown to doing drugs it got the R.

Don't know how accurate it is. I heard it from two different sources but they probably heard it from the same one.

What I heard on this was:

That's what I kind of figured. Thanks.

I finally had some time to watch a few movies over the past few days:
The Prestige which was rather good. It was one of those movies that started out a little slow but then I kept on watching because I had to see how things ended. The last 30 minutes really makes the movie.

I also got to see the new Star Trek film.... I was very impressed all around and I am sure I will watch it again. Stunning on Blu-Ray!

"Invictus" - Really good movie. Good directing by Clint Eastwood and terrific performances by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon and really the entire ensemble cast.

[Alex S.]

The most amazing to me about Invictus is that Matt Damon looked like both of these pictures in movies released this year:

Sherlock Holmes and loved it!

[BlkPearlCptn]

Just saw Avatar. While I found the storyline EXTREMELY predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed the visuals. (However, I still thought the Na'vi (sp), while beautiful, looked a bit CGI "cartoony." For ultra real CGI, I'm still thinking Davy Jones himself can't be beat (IMHO)

Sherlock Holmes and loved it!

Next on the list and can hardly wait!

Lady and the Tramp

[4DWs]

The Princess and the Frog. We liked the story and loved the music!

[houseofmouse]

Saw Sherlock Holmes Friday night. Great movie!
Watched Coraline on DVD Monday. It was cute, not too scary but now I need to read the book.

[TowerofTerror]

Open Road I saw tonight

[nbaum]

Hercules

[mousecanuck]

We saw Princess and the Frog and loved it (me & my 15 yr old daughter) and New Years' Eve went to Avatar 3d - it was awesome, long - but very good. The 3d is great and it is a 'must see on the big screen' kind of movie.

We've also watched some Christmas movies over the holidays - Christmas with the Kranks, Jingle All the Way, Die Hard (forget which ones were at Christmas...the first one, anyhow...we watched a few...)

And Con Air - man, that's a good show "Put down the Bun-ny."

[Rockchalker]

I saw Leap Year last night with the girls and Avatar tonight with the DH.

I thought Leap Year was a good chick flick. Light, predictable, too silly in some spots, but overall good.

Avatar was great. It was well done; long, but not too long, political/preachy, but not enough to make me roll my eyes. It somewhat reminded me of some of his other movies... specifically The Abyss.

ETA: The machines they used could have come off the Aliens set, but, of course, it is set in the future.

The Blind Side- Loved it. I thought t was a great story. It is really amazing how this family opened their home to someone they didn't even know.

Night at the Museum 2- It is not what I thought it was going to be. It was funny and I love how it had so many famous actors and actresses in it even if they didn't have a lot of "on-air" time.

Ratatouille

[4DWs]

DH and I had a "date night" and saw "Up in the Air." Very good.

[Alex S.]

ETA: The machines they used could have come off the Aliens set, but, of course, it is set in the future.

I've read that iti s supposed to suggest (without being explicitly said) that the company running things on Pandora evolves into the one running things in Alien. And thus the technological similarity.
