Yes, I watched "Deliverence" with my two boys, Smith and Wesson.

Maybe I'm getting old and cranky, but I haven't seen a good movie in 50 years! Attack of the 50 foot Woman, now that got this preteen's hormones flowing! And Bride of Frankenstein! Wow, could she spark up the night! Shirley Temple? Yeah, I dig older women! All this 3-D, Technycolor and surround sound? BAH!! Shades of gray and piano music, that's how you keep an audience thrilled! And as for humor, them Keystone Cops would have us rolling in the isles! Give me Howdy Doody, the Lone Ranger and the Gillette Friday Night Fights any day!

Humbug!!

I go to the Drive in at least once a week! My son and I enjoy it very much!

The best movie I've seen this summer was The Third Man starring Joseph Cotten & Orson Wells.

Happy birthday Autie!!! You are such a mature youngster!

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years, 10 months ago

Happy Birthday autie.

Pardon me for asking, but just how is it that you know Angelina doesn't have any extra toes?

RoeDapple 2 years, 10 months ago

He's just a pup!

As old as Miley Cyrus?

CWGOKU 2 years, 10 months ago

Nothing new. Over the weekend, we looked at the movies that are at the theaters now and saw nothing of interest. May go see Inception when it comes out. Watched Zombie Land Saturday night. It was great. Happy Birthday Autie!

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years, 10 months ago

Mea Culpa. I always get "She Who Can Not Be Tamed" confused with "He Who Must Not Be Named"

I bet it is a common mixup

snap_pop_no_crackle 2 years, 10 months ago

Happy birthday & so on & so forth, autie.

labmonkey 2 years, 10 months ago

I did see "The Dirty Dozen" sometime back in May. There usually isn't a movie in the theaters I have any desire to see.

TOB- This stupid vampire craze is getting old.

riverdrifter 2 years, 10 months ago

I'm in to chick flicks, myself. My favorite one is the Wild Bunch.

Happy birfday, Autie.

Nosferatu (1922) - Full Movie

Nosferatu (1922) - Full Movie by LuckyStrike502

snap_pop_no_crackle 2 years, 10 months ago

Nosferatu contains some of the most genuinely creepy moments ever put on film, IMHO.

snap_pop_no_crackle 2 years, 10 months ago

Speaking of movies with Warren Oats, I've not watched Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia in a long time. Might have to dig that out this weekend.......

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years, 10 months ago

Yeah, that's right, named the boys Smith and Wesson. If we wanted two sparkly fairy dust wussies, we would have named them Jacob and Edward.

RoeDapple 2 years, 10 months ago

Always with the name calling! Obvious why you are hung up on junior high movies.

scopi_guy 2 years, 10 months ago

The other day I watched Female Trouble for the 163rd time.

gsxr600 2 years, 10 months ago

Ryan, you know how I know you're gay?

CWGOKU 2 years, 10 months ago

Yes it is aimed at pre-teen girls. You ever read one of the books? I read the first one after my daughter raved about it. Gad, I made it through it, but dang, it was aimed at pre-teens. Took me three movies with car chases and the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan to get it out of my system. The movies are OK, I stomach them for the sake of the family. To each his own.

"The Apartment" "Julie/Julia" "Alice In Wonderland" "The Fourth Kind"

Autie - I loved Kim J's iron-eating monster.. Happy Birthday

ivalueamerica 2 years, 10 months ago

La Teta Asustada, or the English Title, The Milk of Sorrow was one of the best movies I had ever seen. It was a nominee for best foreign language flick at the Oscars.

Toy Story 3 was really good. I cried like a big old softy.

(psst- LJWorld- Princess and the Frog)

denak 2 years, 10 months ago

Toy Story 3 was really good EXCEPT it was in 3D. My personal opinion is that the 3D was absolutely not necessary and actually took away from the movie. The 3D wasn't spectacular or cutting edge- it would consist of small things such as Woody jumping off a ball and the ball boucning towards you-and with 3D ticket prices at $11, the studios should give you something more than that or just leave it out because otherwise it is just a gimmick that ruins a good film like Toy Story 3.

I think the film is going to be a much more enjoyable film when it comes out on DVD in 2D.

Dena

P.S. I agree with Princess and the Frog.

Aileen Dingus 2 years, 10 months ago

I thought the 3D in Toy Story was much better than the 3D in Alice in Wonderland. I got nauseous from that- lots of stuff wooshing at you- very dizzy making. I agree though, TS didn't need the gimmick.

KansasPerson 2 years, 10 months ago

Well, maybe Ryan meant The Eclipse, which was showing recently at Liberty Hall. Irish movie about death and ghosts and stuff. (Not a horror movie though.) Probably not what Ryan meant, though.

We liked "Toy Story 3" but other than that I think the only theater-movie I saw was the new "Robin Hood," which was sub-par.

I'm having better luck with the on-demand movies at home. Finally watched "Up" over the weekend and loved it.

Up- proves men can have no fun until their wives are dead and gone.

Seriously?

snap_pop_no_crackle 2 years, 10 months ago

Eclipse is aimed at people with the emotional development of a pre-teen girl.

Twilight movies are a great place to hit on 45 year old women trying to pretend they are their 14 year old daughters.

CWGOKU 2 years, 10 months ago

Free Lindsay Lohan!

Or at least the part above her stomach and below her chin. The rest of her can stay put.

The ugly chick is Roman Catholic, just like Mel Gibson

"I have no idea who this Irish is, or why you are addressing me as such, if that is indeed your intent. No, I am not kidding. I am just that serious about the Twilight series. As you may have guessed my real name is not Oak. And, it is not Irish." June 30, 2010 at 5:07 p.m.

Umm . . . Whatever you say. Cleo.
