[Merged]: Current Film Recommendations/Movie recommend

Is it a documentry rather than a biopic?


Vicky

Just to clock in, Brideshead Revisited (2008). 

I suppose they should get credit for getting it all into 2 hours.  But it can't hold a candle to the original.

Yes, it is a documentary.

Vicky, if you liked it, you might consider also reading the book both the documentary and the film are based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mayor_of_Castro_Street

I read it and loved it. I can lend you my copy.

Oooh, yes please!

I was on a movie kick last week.  I was in the States visiting my Mom and sister.  Took them to the movies.  I was so surprised how cheap it was.  It cost me less than $20 for the three of us to see a matinee of  "He's Just Not That Into You."  It was cute, I enjoyed it.  It is what it is...a light-weight chick-flick, but it had some moments that really resonated with me.

 "Slumdog Millionaire" was also good. Would recommend it.

I also saw "Vicky Christina Barcelona" on the plane.   Not sure I would have seen it otherwise, but I enjoyed it.  Javier Bardem is very sexy.   It makes me want to go visit Barcelona right now!

I really want to see this, I've heard good things! 

We saw Ben Button last night.  I REALLY enjoyed it, though it was very long and I was pretty obsessed with the fact that Cate Blanchett didn't have a line on her face for almost the whole movie.

I went to the piccys and saw it tonight, and I LOVED IT! I thought it was actually very clever and when its released on dvd, I am going to add it to my collection.  Hubby on the other hand was not so keen, and called me a puss for having a tear to it every now and then 

I dunno, I think I am a little emotional about the elderly for some odd reason at the moment. 

I rated it a 9/10
He rated it a 7/10

I can't wait for Watchmen.  I gave my dh the book for Valentine's Day so he would know what was going on. 

We saw Gran Torino at the weekend which I thought was excellent. Clint reminded me very much of my Dad in the film....

"The Reader"...excellent film.

It definitely has it's uncomfortable moments, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how well written, and beautifully acted it is, with A LOT of humor! 
Not a film I would choose to go see, but because it was a SAG screening I did, and am glad for it!  So maybe steel yourself a little, but it's more enjoyable and lovely than it is violent and unpleasant!

slumdog millionaire
The Reader
He's just not that into you

these were all very good movies.....after seeing slumdog and the reader we needed to see a comedy
