What Movies have you seen recently?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

would you say it's worth buying on dvd?

A racist anti-Persian action movie? Do you even have to ask?

The more 'controversial' elements are not in the graphic novel (though it is itself a fictionalised version of those events). When you see other human beings depicted (literally) as half-human beast-men (not far removed from the orcs in Lord of the rings), you have to wonder what is being said here.

I saw Tenacious D last weekend. Wasn't as funny as I expected.

Definitely a pot movie. No question about it.

Saw 300 yesterday. Hubby went and saw it again. Once was enough for me.

Little Miss Sunshine. Loved it! Heartwarming flick.

Artemesia. Liked the book much better.

Ghost Rider. Meh.

[Aymerlu 3]

We saw Wild Hogs over the weekend. Hubby thinks it's the best movie he's seen since he's been here.

This sums things up pretty well:

300 is notable for its outrageous sexual confusion. Here stands the Spartan king Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and his 299 buddies in nothing but leather man-panties and oiled torsos, clutching a variety of phalluses they seek to thrust in the bodies of their foes by trapping them in a small, rectum-like mountain passage called the "gates of hell(o!)" Yonder rises the Persian menace, led by the slinky, mascara'd Xerxes. When he's not flaring his nostrils at Leonidas and demanding he kneel down before his, uh, majesty, this flamboyantly pierced crypto-transsexual lounges on chinchilla throw pillows amidst a rump-shaking orgy of disfigured lesbians.

We saw 300 on opening day. It was much better than the ** erotic movie "Troy"

I loved 300! Violence and a hot sex scene with the King and Queen!! What's not to like??

But I'm not an Intellectual. lol

Actually I love history and although this wasn't even close to reality it was still a cool story and visual way to tell it.

"THIS IS SPARTA" great line!!

or this one

"there's no reason we can't be civilized" as his men kill the wounded! lol

Hey it's gotta be done!!

Did you feel like killing some Persians at the end of it?

I liked Blood Diamonds, about the Sierra Leone diamond mines and war.

My fiance is in Sierra Leone so it really hit me hard.

Yeah I agree with some of the others here. The best two movies I've watched recently were "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond." I really enjoyed both of these. I also like Babel.

Oh and I rented "Stranger than Fiction" but can't seem to get through it. Anyone else watch this movie and like/dislike it? I really don't have an opinion yet but I hope I can actually finish it soon.
