Love the movies? Tired of the same critics over and over who never seem to like what you do? How about a place where real people, with lives can discuss, rate and warn others about movies!
Everyone's welcome!
about mad about movies
This group is to discuss movies, review movies, analyze or even simply warn others about movies. Classic movies, movies already on DVD or current out on the big screen. it makes no difference - talk about them all!
Also- we can talk about actors, actresses and their careers - likes and don't(s), directors - good and bad and screen writers. It's all about MOVIES!
IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't like spoilers and I won't do that to anyone intentionally. I would appreciate it if the thrillers aren't given away or surprise endings are blown, etc. I very rarely actually go to a movie. I can't stand people talking and cell phones ringing and getting my chair kicked. It's not worth what you pay anymore. So more often than not, I wait for something to come out on DVD before I watch it.
While I'm horrible with names and I'm always the person who can say, "I know I've seen XXXX in something before..", I love movies. Everyone has an addiction of some sort, something they honestly can't and don't want to be without. Movies are that way for me. I'll watch just about anything from Anime (except tenticle porn) to classics, to musicals to foreign films (yes I can sit through subtitles)
Movies are my "Calgon". If it is worth a darn, it takes me away from the reality of bills, work, family drama and any other stress and allows me to be engrossed in something other than real life for an hour or more.
So if you are a movie junkie like me? Think you seen something rare, odd and most likely not heard of? Or just witnessed the worst movie ever and are dying to get your 2 hours back and need to share?
Then this is the place for you!

Part of me says - well, he started writing when he did The Village, but I was wrong. He actually wrote the Sixth Sense as well. But I think I'm with you, after The Happening, he's on my probation list. He's all "when the dvd comes out" till I see better!

I must say that M Night is now on probation. I will not pay to see one of his movies at the theater again. I will watch it on DVD.

IMHO it really wasn't up to par. It seemed like he wanted to make sure this movie had some gore in it, but the gore seemed almost out of place in a way. Then I really did not like any of the characters that much. Let me say this, I was not on my seat worrying about the main characters dieing in fact I kind of rooted for that by the end.
Then there were several times (SEVERAL TIMES) where logic/physics/all reality was just tossed aside. I mean I know it is fiction, but if your fiction is set in the real world then it should at least function like the real world. People should act as most people act normally.
