What was the last movie you watched?

[Andúnië]

Just watched Water. Hindi w/ subtitles. Not bad.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo- watched with English subtitles. So good.

Must be great.  It got good reviews.  I am reading the book right now and it is very interesting and engaging.  Have you read the book?

I only searched for the book after I watched the film, and the story is pretty good. I think it's a translation, though, and it does read like one, a bit awkwardly. I'm onto its sequel right now, book-wise.

It could be a translation.  But the Swedes are known for being quite competent in English as many of them learn it in school and can speak it as a 2nd language.  So it might just be that it sounds like a translation. 

How is the sequel?  Worth reading?

I watched Signs, with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix (for about the fourth time).

Watched Avatar, and The Other Boleyn Girl.

Beren, you have a point about the English. That's pretty logical. As to the sequel: it's not bad, but it didn't have the hold of the first one, for me. But then again, I haven't finished it yet.

Watched Jerry Maguire.  Haven't seen it in years and it was on t.v.

Andunie: thanks for the opinions.  I will see how this book goes, but originally I was planning on reading all three in the trilogy.

[Andúnië]

Watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince a couple times.

Beren, I take that back. I've just finished it; it moves rather very slowly but picks up speed towards the end. I'd also intended to read all three, and I think I'll still be doing that.

Good plan, I will likely do that too.  Did you know that there is going to be a movie out very soon about the second book?  I just saw the advertisement on t.v. yesterday - that was quite quick!   

I watched Star Wars Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith today on t.v.

[Andúnië]

The Time Traveler's Wife.
Also saw Up recently, and liked it.

Yes! And I'm rather excited about that. Not sure when it's releasing in the States though.

I believe the release date in the US (and I think Canada) is today, July 9.

Alice in Wonderland (the new version with Jonny Depp).

Hey, same here! Watched it last night; now searching for the soundtrack.

Hehehe.  That's interesting.  So you liked it then?  I thought it was pretty good.

Making my way through those Planet Earth documentaries by BBC.

I thought I'd be pretty ambivalent about it, but it was better than I expected- I really liked it.

I agree.  I was hoping for it to mirror the book, where Alice was a young girl, not older (like in the movie).  But it turned out well.  Tim Burton does have some unique skills that seem unparalleled in the world of film.

I watched No Country For Old Men on t.v. this morning (for the second time).  Great film.  I really liked the book as well.

 I watchedLemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events a couple of days ago. My friend Sandy borrowed it from me so I watched it when she gave it back. I read the books and this movie only covers the first three books.
