Movies

YEs, I saw the Passion.
I brought an entire box of kleenex and started crying at the Garden scene.

In retrospect, though, I was not happy with a lot of the extra imagery Gibson brought into it.

Would I see it again....don't know. Am I glad I saw it? Yeah, I think at some level, we need to see how Christ suffered for us and at what cost.

Life of Brian, have only seen bits and pieces of it. Thought "The Holy Grail" was much funnier. (she turned me into a newt!)

Absolutely agree with you on horror films...ugly, evil, films.

I'm not Catholic, but this movie certainly impressed in me a strong distinction between good and evil, right and wrong...as well as a reminder of the continuing epic battle between the things of God and the things of The Devil.

A good reminder indeed!

May I recommend Flyboy, a story about Americans who joined the Escadrille Lafayette during WW I - became pilots - and fought for France.

Rated PG 13: a bit of gore (plane crashes & dead bodies), some obcene language when pilots see dead comrades...a wee bit of sexual innuendo when the pilots of a downed aircraft are rescued by the...uh... "employees" of a brothel. Other than this, a good movie!

For history buffs, there is history; for aviation buffs, there are planes; there's a Bible-reading pilot, too! ...and if you're a girl, there's even a love story!!!

Hi all

My favourite movies are

Lord of the Rings
Shawshank Redemption

I have a real weakness for horror movies, but i am being turn off more by needless explotative violence - like films like Hostel or saw - I refuse to watch them.

I like no-brain films as well when the mood suits me - which is why i enjoyed transformers.

I am a big fan of the old biblical epics - Jesus of Nazareth, El Cid, Ten comandments, Ben Hur, The Robe.

I really like films that make you think about our religion, which is why I liked Constantine, Dogma, Stigmata, The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

That is my two cents anyway.

God Bless

No, we can't. It's a written law somewhere. In fact, the only time we're even allowed to watch a love story is if we're with a woman. (I can't remember exactly, but i'm pretty sure that law is the bible, probably deuteronomy )

Wow, great movies. I loved the Shawshank Redemption.

Constantine was a great movie. Great, great ending. Never saw Dogma or Stigmata.

I like horror movies, but I prefer ones with a well-developed story over ones that are just "gore for gore's sake". I don't watch them too often though, they have a tendency to make me paranoid for a few days.

Most Women will not know about this Law I thought it was in Leviticus or maybe between all of those names in Chronicles????

I can't stand the sappy love stories, but I do love a Jane Austen (but not the latest one with Kiera Knightly, too sappy, Jane Austen should be witty and fun) or some of the funnier chick flicks.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 days was pretty funny (the basketball game scenes were funny and the bathroom cabinet scence was priceless)

Absolutely can't stand Lifetime channel for women....do they really think we like all that stuff?? Do other women like that stuff?!? Much prefer the Sci-Fi channel....give me star-gate or Dr. Who any day

The Lord of the Rings movies were cool (the books were better )

LOved the movie version of "The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe"....

Stargate SG-1 is awesome. I've recently started watching my dad's DVDs of the series.

Yeah it was pretty good. I wish it showed a little more about the coming about of the Witch.

You're right, it was in leviticus.

My wife can sit in front of the tv and watch lifetime movies all day. And i mean all day.

Of course, i'm hiding in the other room during this time.

Gotta say, never really watched stargate. I love star wars (only wish someone other than george lucas had come up with it).

It's all relative, i guess. I can't watch that stuff (lifetime movies), but she is completely in shock that i can sit and watch football from 12:00 to 11:30 on sundays (that's right, eleven and a half straight hours) only to watch it again on monday (gotta love football {Speaking of which, go jags })

Books were definately more in-depth. Better...maybe. I liked the movies a lot. I tried one time to sit and watch them all in a row and lost a whole weekend (i fell asleep a lot and had to keep rewinding).

I think there is a 12 step group for that.

btw...I'm not ashamed to say that I actually get into some of the lifetime movies sometimes...

I bet there is. Never gonna catch me there, but i'm sure such a place exists.

Besides, why would i want to stop?

All right, I guess I watched *some* of their movies....I certainly am a fool for the romance movies.

Sometimes their plot lines are over the top soap opera. The woman doesn't simply fall in love OR the woman isn't just diagnosed with cancer, but in the lifetime movies she falls in love while she is married, then when is diagnosed with cancer she goes through the divorce while her kids are on drugs and has to struggle through her chemo while getting married and fixing her family troubles. All while crying with her friends and having girl time. Can't handle that much drama!!! I get that by listening to my students!!

Love to watch the British shows on my PBS station.
I started watching "All creatures Great and Small" in addition to the older Britcoms on my PBS station and renewed my love for British TV shows and British sitcoms. Anybody else like the Britcoms? Wish I got BBC America on my Cable. Love, Love, love the british wit.
