This part of the forum has been a bit quiet (as the grave) since the Virtual Villiage moved, I just thought we'd get some non smut related discussion going for those of us who aren't so dirty-minded as the others

21 Grams, Mona Lisa Smile... I'm thinking of seeing one of these this weekend. Does anyone have any thoughts on those or anything else they recommend?

[Leila]

Hmmm.....Mona Lisa Smile is good. Hidalgo is good too..... Is Mona Lisa Smile out on video yet? I know it at least will be soon.
What kind of movie are you interested in/want to watch?

[Panneth]

As I'm in the UK, we've got to wait till April to see Hidalgo and the Passion of Christ. However, I will get to see the Calcium Kid before any of the other OBsessed fans out there, so that gives me some comfort.

To be honest, I'm just looking for a good film to go out to see with a group of friends!

[Leila]

Am looking at a list of movies in London. To see what is out there. You have London under location.

This is what I've come up with so far that I've seen and liked. Cold Mountain, The Last Samurai, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. If you want more info on any or where they are playing just say so.

I enjoyed Cold Mountain very much. Waiting for others, I do live on the edge of civilization ....

I gotta get off so here's the address. http://www.londonnet.co.uk/films/index.html

Thanks Leila! I think we'll all decide tomorrow. At the moment it looks like it's going to be a bit group of single girls so we'll probably see Mona Lisa Smile against my better judgement!

I went to see Hidalgo this weekend. I expected it to suck, but it didn't. It was cute; the main story about the horse was even fairly good. There's a great scene where Viggo's character (Frank) has a run-in with a snarky English woman. Good popcorn flick.

And I haven't seen that thriller thingy with Johnny Depp yet, but frankly, anything with JD in it is worth watching. Even if the movie stinks, you get to stare at his cheekbones for two hours. Don't get much better than that.

Hidalgo... believe me it's good. Funny Viggo ended up buying the horse though...

[BittenBuggy]

Lol Luthien, really? Thats so....Viggoish

[sindohte]

Viggo is just that type of guy, a real class act and a terrific actor to boot. Hidalgo was a good movie and proves that Viggo can carry a movie on his as the lead.

I am dying to see Hidalgo, we have to wait until 18th March for release here in Aus.

Master and Commander was good, i found parts of it just ridiculously funny, and billy boyd is in it and cracks me up because even without the hobbit outfit, he still looks like a hobbit

[Ania]

Question: Has anyone seen Girl with a Pearl Ear-ring? I've had different accounts of it and am confused at to whether I should see it with my mates or not.

[Thuriniel]

I'm supposed to go see "The Passion" as soon as the schedules of me and my other two very busy friends coordinate ... it could take a couple of weekends for that to happen ... and I'm still not sure I want to go. All the scenes I've seen have really affected me. I can only imagine what will happen at the theater. No popcorn for that one!

Then my friend and I are planning to go see "Secret Window" with Johnny Depp. A Johnny Depp movie based on a Stephen King novel ... I would not miss it for the world. I'm surprised is pg-13, though.

And finally, "Hidalgo". Actually, my students took their oral test yesterday and they needed to tell me "something you did the other day" in Spanish. A few of them had seen "Hidalgo" and they told me it's excellent. Of course they could be saying that only to get brownie points from me since I mentioned in class that I wanted to go see it due to Mr. Mortensen's appearance ...
