NER: Anything good in theatres now?

The Duchess looks right up my alley. Has anyone seen that? Or is there anything else that's good. I won't see "W" or Religulous, but anything else is fair game!

Re: NER: Anything good in theatres now?

  • I saw eagle eye and it was really good!
  • Is the Secret Life of Bee's out yet?

    FWIW, W is supposed to be fairly sympathetic to Bush. Liberal producers wouldn't take it b/c it was too kind. Lol. 

  • Yup the Bee movie is out. Is it better than the title sounds? I hate bees.
  • imagelyssbobiss:

    I don't really take you for the video game/action genre type, but I know Max Payne comes out this weekend (because DH is drooling over himself to see it). 

    I feel like an idiot, because I only just now realized that "duchess" did not have a "t" in it.  I am 100% at spelling, really.

    bwahahah. that's awesome. 

    My DH would probably love Max Payne. I like action movies. It's not my first choice but if it's really good then I'm cool with it.

  • I have no idea, but the book was a bestseller, and the trailer looked good...that's all I got. Duchess looks good too...bad reviews though.

    Oh, how about Rachel Getting Married? Is that out yet?

  • Anyone heard anything about "Body of Lies"? Leo's in it.

    Yup. It's not in the theatres near me, but Yahoo says it's out.

    I like Ari Fleischer's quote about the movie:

    "Hollywood exhausts everybody," he added. "It pretends to be serious, but it's just an anti-Republican, anti-Bush bastion that is making an October campaign contribution to Barack Obama."

  • Yes, Rachel Getting Married is out. I so want to see it--someone else go and tell me if it's good!

    I think Bees comes out today.

    All I know is what I've read, and it seems like critics are either loving it or hating it.

    It pretends to be serious? Really? The trailer makes it look hilarious! I'll watch and report! Wink

  • I am kind of a movie-holic. 

    Saw The Duchess and it was good.  I love period flics, though, so that helps.  I love Keira Knightly and Ralph Fiennes is creeeepy, in a good way.

    Secret Life of Bees is out and looks good--I loved the book so not sure if I will see it just in case it is not as good as is often the case.

    Body of Lies-I actually heard it was ho-hum.  I was going to see it, but when a friend told me this, I went toThe Duchess instead. 

    Eagle Eye was good.  Plus, it has Shaia La Beouf Smile

    Appaloosa looks good as well, but if you are not into Westerns-it probably will not be good for you. 

    I will probably go see Max Payne with hubby for he has been asking every week if it is out for he wants to see it.

  • I won't go to see W either for I really loathe Stone movies.  I have not seen one that I like of his so I can't imagine this one would be any different.  I don't care about if it is biased (I kind of expect that with movies based on the interpretation of someone who is a real person), but I just don't care for him as a director.  Too much overacting and too long.

  • I don't even know what half of these movies are! I just wanted to chime in and say I read the book for Secret Life of Bees, and it was very good. It seems like it could translate well to film, but I don't know much about the movie. Definitely a "chick flick" kind of movie though.

  • Can I just say that I have no desire to see a war on terror movie...and that these types of movies usually fall flat? And that Chihuahua kicked body of lies butt at the box office last week? And that maybe this is sign to Hollywood that Americans don't give a f*ck about middle eastern terror pics? And that any movie that places Leo and Russel in a desert is just trying to pander to Academy voters?

    Thank you. 

  • The Secret Life of Bees, W., and Max Payne are all rotten on Rotten Tomatoes, so I won't be seeing any of those.

    This is a dead time in the movie biz.  Good movies won't start coming out again until Thanksgiving.  Summer and winter are the good movie times.

    But isn't he saying Hollywood is a joke, not the movie itself? 

  • Nick and Norah is 72% fresh and contains Michael Cera!  If I wasn't already overbooked this weekend, I'd go see that.

  • I loved Bees the book and the casting looks awesome. I read the book a long time ago so the details are fuzzy. I'm hoping that helps. Plus Dakota in anything is good.

    Duchess and Max Payne are also on my radar.

    Slainte!

  • I listened to a piece on that Rachel Wedding movie, and it sounded quite good.  And I can't stand wedding movies.

    That's all I know of.  Sorry.  I'm not normally a movie person although I'll probably go see a few just because I can :)

  • ::Golf claps:: Or in this case ::canned sound efx claps::

    Lol! 

  • At some point in my life, I want to see Duchess, W, and Rachel Getting Married.  The only one I'll probably see in theatres is Rachel Getting Married, though... but only if its at indie houses...looking into it...
  • I have a girl crush on Alicia Keys so that is a big motivation for me to see the BeesEmbarrassed
