"Being John Malkovich" - a really offbeat story about people having the ability to actually enter the mind of movie star John Malkovich. Had some really wierd ideas.

The Mrs. and I split our time with the youngest kids last night.

I watched Meet the Robinsons with our youngest daughter. It was a fun movie! It shows you to "keep moving forward," and that was a positive theme for kids nowadays.

The Mrs. watched Castle in the Sky with our youngest son. It's a Japanese anime film by Hayao Miyazaki. It's not a genre I enjoy for the most part, so I'm glad she was watching with him. One of the things she enjoys about the English versions of Miyazaki's films is the all-star cast of voices. She says the plots are always kind of weird, but also kind of interesting. She says Miyazaki has an amazing imagination.

"Doomsday"

Wow, I haven't seen so complete a rip off of "Escape From New York" since, well..."Escape From LA".
Actually it's not a complete rip off of "New York" it also steals from "Mad Max" and "Resident Evil" and a little bit of George Romero's "Knight Riders" too.
But you know what's kind of funny about all of this. The movie is actually entertaining.I guess when you take the best parts from other films and blend them all together you can't help but come up with something fun.
A modern "B" movie with a truly beautiful leading lady.

Took Indy to see Horton this afternoon in the cinema. We enjoyed it immensely. Saw a preview of Ice Age 3 and that looked promising aswell. Only to be released in the summer of 2009. Still a long way away...

Started watching my high def version of "Planet Earth". Very good series if anyone is interested.

I had a serial Smorgasboard last night, watched one chapter of a few serials last night.

watched Mister Roberts staring fonda and cagney quite a good movie

The last non western I watched was "Casino Royale," it was leant to me some time ago but I only got around to watching it last night.

I had become quite disillusioned with the Bond franchise after watching some turkeys from Brosnan that came close to finishing the genre. I actually stated after watching "Die Another Day," that Bond should be killed and the series wrapped up. For these reasons I went out of my way to avoid seeing the latest entry.

However following some glowing reports from friends of mine and after reading on this forum that Jim (Stumpy) felt Craig was the best Bond thus far,I was sufficiently enticed into watching "Casino Royale".

I certainly wasn't disappointed, the movie was much darker than its predecessors and much more gritty. Bond is a very flawed character with a real human dimensions in this movie, he is a no nonsense, cold blooded agent who develops a softer side as the movie progresses.

The movie also benefits from a limited array of gadgets and one liners which had turned the franchise into a cliché. The action is breathtaking yet a lot more realistic and Craig is brilliant as Bond, completely eclipsing all bad memories left by Brosnan, I think when the next Bond movie arrives at the cinema, I may be paying a visit.

I could not agree more. this was the best Bond movie since Goldfinger. One mans opinion.

over the easter weekend we watched the seaker, it is a good movie with the light getting it over the dark, in my opinion it is a good family movie.

In the theater The Bank JOB. very well done, about a 1970's crime caper in England. based on a true story.

The last two movies I watched were: The Ten Commandments w/ Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson and Yul Brynner & The King of Kings w/ Jeffrey Hunter as the Lord Jesus Christ. I like both movies more and more everytime I get to see them.

Also watched a few more episodes from: The Flash.

Watched our DVDs of "Ben Hur" and "The Ten Commandments" (instead of ABC's presentation) over the Easter weekend.

Watched "The 13th Warrior" with Antonio Banderas last night. Kind of a Beowulf story "knockoff" but I always enjoyed the movie.

Also, over the weekend the family and I continued the "Planet Earth" DVD series and also watched "Enchanted". Very good movie and the Planet Earth DVD's are amazing.

Atonement is an interesting movie. Not sure I'd pick it as a best picture movie. It was nominated for that in the Oscars. Good for adults only, and not all will like it. It was alright, but I doubt I'll watch it again.

Cheers
