The Notebook was fantastic. GREAT acting! I got a little teary eyed at the end buy it was just a really good movie.

PS...TO even said on NFL Network yesterday that "The Notebook" is his favorite movie and that it was a "tearjerker". Well, the Alzheimer's thing is close to his heart, so it made him appreciate it that much more.

Don't waste your time with Cellular,Forgotten and the Grudge.They were brutal.

King Arthur was the best one of late I saw

I can't imagine a situation that would make me watch King Arthur....other than I meet a girl that absolute loves watching that movie prior to having sex. But other than that, I don't know why else I'd sit there and watch braveheart, er...lord of the rings...er....troy....er....they're all the same.

To me braveheart was the original 'mass battle' modern movie...and lord of the rings stands in a league by itself...I just couldn't think of other axe weilding, sword slashing flicks...and those are the ones that came to mind.

"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" put me to sleep.  "I, Robot" seemed very excited and enthralling in comparison.

Attention Donnie Darko Fans

The director's cut comes out on DVD today.

i think i'm gonna go pick it up after work. it's 20 minutes longer.
QuoteWith an additional 20 minutes of material added to the original theatrical edition (including scenes not included in the augmented version previously released on DVD), Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut has a slower, more reflective pace than its first edit, and many more moments of emotional and tonal complexity. The film also has a fuller soundtrack (INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart" is featured prominently in writer-director Richard Kelly's mysterious opening) and new, startling special effects that underscore Donnie's ambiguous experience of time travel and cross-dimensional encounters with Frank, the 6-foot provocateur in a terrifying bunny costume. (Of course, new f/x or not, Donnie could still be a paranoid schizophrenic immersed in violent delusions.) Purists might find some of these changes to Kelly's 2001 cult hit about a troubled teen (Jake Gyllenhaal) trapped in alternative, apocalyptic destinies troubling. But overall the film is an even more haunting experience, impossible to shake.

An audio commentary track features a conversation between Kelly and Kevin Smith (Clerks) outlining the former's reasons for making a director's cut. Kelly says his intention was to amplify a science fiction and comic book element in Donnie Darko, re-design the sound (actually, Kelly claims, there never was a sound design for the original release), and purchase rights to various songs (including Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart") that were lost between the film's premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and the film's theatrical release. Kelly says he also wanted to give something new to the film's fans as thanks for their crucial, early support. Other features in this two-disc set include a highly entertaining production diary (including video of pre-production locations research) as well as a short film about the meaning of "Donnie Darko" as understood by some of the movie's British fans. --Tom Keogh

THANK YOU WINGSPAN!! I now have something good on my to-do list tonight.

Another flick I haven't seen mentioned is Baraka. If I had a gun to my head and was forced to choose, I would have to say this is my favorite movie of all time. It's not necessarily a "movie" per se, more like a feature film. It's an intrinsic look at Earth in general, and the role we've played as humans. The first time I saw it was like a spiritual experience for me. I won't give away too many details, cause if you see it you're in for a treat. I'll just say that after I first saw it, I didn't eat chicken for 2 months. I will warn you that A LOT of people have a hard time making it through that part (the middle).
