Have you been to a good movie lately? (Page 1 of 5)

I liked Prometheus, thought it deserved a better reception than it got.

"TED"        "TED"         "TED"
The Animated Teddy Bear with Seth Mcfarland's (Falimy Guy show) voice....

P/s I saw the new Batman....it was alright...I do think the Joker's (Heath Ledger ) was a better villian than this "Bane"-had a hard time hearing his voice through his mask at times......although Ann Hathaway played a very nice Catwoman!

Put another one in the guilty pleasure column for Ted from me.  Not for the easily offended, but I laughed like crazy.  Went back and saw it a 2nd time, too.

I loved TED! I have a pic of him in my cube at work (I know, I know). Right above my action pic of Joe B!

I find that interesting that Vertigo would be considered the all-time number one film.  I'm not sure it's Hitchcock's best.  Citizen Kane has been acknowledged the finest movie for decades and for good reason: The direction, editing and cinematography were decades ahead of its time.  Recently I've decided that my favorite movie is The Best Years of Their Lives.  I never get tired of watching it.  It has a timeless quality and I'm always fascinated by the generation called the greatest that came home from the war and went on with their lives.  PTSD certainly was rife in 1946, but those men and women for the most part handled it privately.  I was born at Walter Reed Hospital and being the son of an Army officer I grew up around those veterans.  The interesting thing I found was the silence of their war experience. 
The character I liked the most in the film was Fred Derry, played by Dana Andrews and the scene when he's sitting in a junked B-17 is film-making at its finest.  TBYOOL (I think) won 7 Academy Awards, a record at that time, and oddly Fredric March beat out Andrews for best actor.

Vertigo is by far my favorite Hitchcock movie...probably my favorite 1960 movie. And it has NOTHING, NOTHING I tell you, to do with Kim Novak.

The Dark Knight Rises was truly epic. If you're a comics fan, it's kind of a mix of No Man's Land and The Dark Knight Returns. It had to be extremely difficult to do anything that would be as remotely good as Heath Ledger's Joker, and I thought Tom Hardy was as wonderful in a completely different way. Can you imagine how hard it would be to act with just your eyes and your voice? That's basically what Tom Hardy had to do. Bane had a dark sense of humor, was extremely intelligent and calculating, and was every bit Batman's equal in regards to physicality. I truly loved that this movie comes back around to Batman Begins. It was a great way to tie up the series. Also, I loved Bruce Wayne's character arc over this movie, and I think that Christian Bale delivered his best take on Bruce of the entire series. Michael Caine's performance was truly heartbreaking, and Anne Hathaway freakin' OWNED as Selina Kyle/Catwoman. And Joseph Gordon Levitt gave a wonderful performance as John Blake. And then there's Gary Oldman giving his usual sturdy work as Gordon. Chris Nolan is one of my favorite directors going right now, and I loved that he put an end to the dreaded "3rd movie curse" (Spiderman 3, X-Men 3). I am truly sad to see his take on the Dark Knight end. But at the same time, I'm truly glad for what he gave us. If this guy doesn't win a Best Director Oscar sometime soon, it's a crying shame.

...went to see Prometheus last night,if you were a fan of Aliens you will love it! ...went for a curry afterwards but passed on the squid!
