Brian Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Saw Sweeney Todd last night, I loved it. It is extremely bloody, so if you're taking a friend who is squemish I would give them a heads up. I saw the revival on Broadway in 2006 with Pati LuPone and thought it was every bit as entertaining. They did a good job expanding the limitations from the stage. The cast was great. Bohnem-Carter (sp?) especially stood out, she was phenomenal. I got passes from work for this. Just have to find the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear much about it when it was in theatres, I wanted to see it than but no one else I knew was too interested, so yesterday I was thinking holy s*** this is f***ing awesome the entire time I watched it.

KipWellsFan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I saw Charlie Wilson's War tonight. Apparently conservatives have some problem with the historical accuracy but I still thought Hanks and Hoffman made this a really fun movie to see.

Hell, even if you don't, you'll probably like this movie. Comes out this Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freakin hated the ending, "were going to kill them all" but other than that it was great. And saw Stardust, only to see Robert DeNiro as a gay pirate, that was the only good part. And Once, Im still listening to the soundtrack, such a great music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonWeltall Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) What plot holes? A Southern Mexican civilization built a city of gold in South Dakota. The English found the city but decided not to take any of the gold. Queen Victoria wanted the South to win the war, so after the South lost the war, she sent one clue each to two Southerners who didn't know each other. One clue was the last step to finding the treasure. The other clue was in a code and would direct the recipient to something that wouldn't be made another for 10 years. Somehow, despite this great help, the South couldn't figure out the location of the treasure. Dummies. When Calvin Coolidge was president, he decided to play around with the drawers in his desk. There were numbers on the drawers and he set them to 1876. He was rewarded with half a clue. Using this half-clue, he found the city of gold. Like the English, he decided not to take any of the gold. Instead, he thought it would be better to hide it by putting a tourist attraction in front of it. Later, Nick Cage finds it.

Jimbo's Drinker Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Netflix update: Saw 28 weeks later tonight, hated it.........the original was twice as good. The plot lines in this movie make zero sense nd kept me going, "oh come on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was done fantastically, and have been meaning to see it again but just haven't gotten around to it. I did enjoy it more than 28 Days Later though.

Felix Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) How?? It was an effective zombie movie. It had zombies, great music, and was a fun movie to watch. I'll see it again relatively soon hopefully and will expand on this if you want, but I enjoyed it (also, let it be known, I'm a big Danny Boyle fan, and I did really enjoy the original; I just felt like I got more of what I wanted (zombies!) out of the second) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
