I saw Secret Window 3 days ago. The end is very strange, I really like it and Johnny Depp is fabulous (like always!) :grin:

Wednesday, I'll see Starsky and Hutch :D (I'm impatient to see it!)

i go to the movies pretty much every weekend.
um, i think the last one i saw was taking lives, which was pretty stupid, i must admit that the previews made me wanna see it so badly, and so when i did see it, it was just a let down.
today i'm going to see Gothika, which got REALLY bad reviews, but me and my sis fierce wanna see it just fo the sake of it.
i'd say the best one this year out of what i've seen, which is pretty much all of em, give or take afew, was Starsky and Hutch. it was harlarious.
i havent seen the original show, but from what people who have said, it was just as good.

In Croatian's newspapers Gothika got great reviews. I guess I'll hear how it was from you. So, please tell me is it worth watching. Thanks

I want to see Cheaper by the Dozen! Does anyone have seen this movie?
It's cute! But it's kinda wierd because there's Hillary Duff, Tom Welling, and Dean from Gilmore Girls in it, and I keep on seeing Lizzie McGuire and I'm like "where's her lil brother?" but then I remember it's not Lizzie, it's Hillary. :-? Ok, so maybe that's just me being wierd, but whatever. It was a good movie.

Has anyone seen Mean Girls, or 13 Going on 30? I'm going to see one of 'em this friday.

And has anyone heard anything good about Van Helsing? I think it looks really cool. It's got David Wenham in it, so it's gotta be good. (he was Faramir in TTT and RotK) :razz:

I think Gothica is moderately boring :D .Just another horror movie, but all newspapers make unacurate reviews :evil:

I saw Kill Bill Vol. 2 yesterday. It was pretty self explanatory. (I haven't seen Vol. 1 hehe...)

Pretty good.

I saw Kill Bill vol. 2 last week (i think... can't really remember :lol:). My older sister and I had already seen vol. 1,but my mum and my younger sister (who came to see vol 2 with us) hadn't seen it yet. They got the general idea of it, i think. But it's so much better when you've seen 1, because the characters are much more developed in your mind. Not O-Ren or Copperhead, because they're dead. But Bill and the Bride and Darryl Hannah's character...

Gothika is okay if you just want something to freak you out, as long as you don't question anything in the movie. I was freaked out while i was in the theatre, but afterwards found myself asking why this and why that, and realised it was a shoddy piece of work.

I also just saw Van Helsing!! I was caught a little off guard. I was expecting it to be scarier. When I got to the end I realized it was directed by Stephen Sommers, who did the Mummy movies, and then it all clicked. I was simply in the wrong mindset, if I watched it again I'd probably like it a whole lot better. :lol:

So Van Helsing is bad? or good? It got really bad reviews, but i wanted to go and see it just because i've seen everything else. But no one wants to see it with me :(

My family (sans mon pere cos he lives four hours away) went to see Evelyn on mother's day. I thought it would be really bad, but it was okay. I said to my mum "I don't want to see Pierce Brosnan doing a bad irish accent!" and mum said "Pierce Brosnan is irish." LOL :lol: Mothers got in free with a full paying adult. After the movie, mum went up to one of the cinema people and said "That was a father's day movie, just thought i'd let you know, the mum was horrible". we were quite amused :lol:

We are all going to see TROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!! yippee!!!! I think it comes out over here before america, so that's one thing we get first!

Hop on a plane deerie I'll go see it with ya :lol:
Actually I just saw an interview with the star yesterday and they showed a fairly extensive preview and it looks pretty good. I did not realize that the main character is played by the same actor who played Wolverine in X-Men so now I am even more interested in the film.

I have watched Van Helsing two days ago. It's pretty good...if you're not comparing it with LoTR trilogy :lol: I guess not everyone can accept commercial flicks after watching LoTR. But Faramir (LotR) acted in Van Helsing as a priest though he kept denying it...you'll see if you watched it.
Hugh Jackman (Wolverine from X men) is an excellent cast for Van Helsing...cos...argh...you'll know after you watched it...
I can't say much without spoilers you know!
