Jimbo's Drinker Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I enjoyed Valkyrei, thought its hard to see Tom Cruise plot against Hitler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it looks that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, those are the only two theatres. Of course, they have to have enough theatres for Tom Cruise's newest snoozefest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate Tom Cruise like a lot of people do, but every clip in the commercials for that new movie is him saying different lines in the same mood and tone.

If the theater in Evanston is the Century, it's actually a really nice, big theater. There is plenty of street parking nearby or you can ride the Metra and walk like 2 blocks. I miss that place.

The Critic Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I LOVED Slumdog Millionaire. The story was very interesting, it's really well-acted, it's filmed well, gives a look at some of the seedier aspects of India, and Frieda Pinto is REALLY cute (which never hurts). I'd recommend it highly to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I really don't watch Will Smith movies, but I would say Pursuit of Happiness was really good. It's true that alot of his movies aren't that great at all. I like that he's starting to go after more serious roles though like Seven Pounds. He's going to hit with at least one of them.

Of his last 5 films, it's the only one worth a damn. 7lbs. Hancock I am Ledgend TPOH Hitch I think when he aims to do more serious roles, he fails. He should stick to action films or goofy comedies. I still think his best work ever was in 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air', honestly. He nailed exactly what that show aimed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Doubt', unless there is a huge twist, it's headed in one of two ways, although I bet the performances are brilliant. 'The Reader', has potential if it doesn't get too 'chick-flickish'. WWYD?

Nominations haven't been announced yet, but I've seen pretty much every movie that's come out this year, and it blows them all away. Going by the Golden Globe nominations, the other four nominees are from movies that have just come out or are about to. Either way, I can't see any of them comparing. EDIT: I should clarify, I meant Rourke's performance blows them all away, not the movie itself.

The movie was sold out at the time we originally planned to see it, and we ended up going to the next showing. You may want to consider buying the tickets ahead of time.
