Entertainment #12

We saw a 3-D version at AMC theaters and pretty soon forgot all about it and the time went quickly as we were involved in the story. This movie seemed to pay more attention to the relationships than the earlier Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings. Even my DH who is not a Tolkien fan enjoyed it.

Look forward to seeing it.

We watched A League of Their Own the other night. Had never seen it. Was quite good. Saw Clue last night. Silly, but fun.

I loved Clue the same type of comedy as Murder by Death, ever see that one?
and League of their Own was a good one

No, never did. I remember when it was out.

Received the new Spiderman for Christmas, was good when it finally got going, I thought the beginning was too long and drawn out
Also got the Hulk, that was ok

the new Batman was pretty good.

I loved the new Batman. I have not seen the new Spiderman. I loved the original with Toby McGuire.

Is anyone here a Star Wars fan? I love it, but I love the older ones the best. I don't know if it's because they remind me of my younger days or what. There's just something about them that the newer ones could not even come close to.

Last night I watched "The Greatest Story Ever Told" , today I just finished "The 10 Commandments" both of which are newer versions I had not seen before.

I had recorded the Lord of the Rings when HBO was free for a couple of days at Thanksgiving. Perfect for New Year's Eve!

star wars was on last night - hard to believe it has been over 30 years - pretty lame special effects compared to today

Patti Page died at 85.

I saw that on the news tonight

Watched The Three Stooges over the weekend. Was cute. How can you go wrong with both Sofia Vergara and Kate Upton in the same movie?!! Mama Mia!

The guy playing Curly was really good.

That was a great movie, got the kids into the stooges

Biggest Loser....geez you're a grown man, get off your butt, stop crying and get back on the treadmill!!!! the kids weren't even crying while exercising!

Had to google Kate Upton.

I see ogle!

saw the Hobbit last weekend - it was good although not as good as any of the trilogy - 3D was ok

I took my nephew to see the Hobbit this past weekend. He loved it. This was my second time seeing it. First time was in 2D. This time I saw it in that high def 3D. Awesome! The clarity of the picture was amazing! A friend came with us, and she said that high def 3D really bothered her. She's been having trouble with vertigo since seeing it, especially when waking up and getting out of bed. I have heard other people have had that experience as well.

the 3D was standard gimicky to me - birds flying towards you or rain - did not really affect how the characters were viewed.

I can't wait for this 3D fad to pass. Enough already.

Anyone else like this song, 'Home', by Phillip Phillips? I like it a lot.

I do, it's catchy. I like a couple he did on idol, disease and volcano.

I like it a lot!

Will check them out, Deb.

Really good listening.

3D didnt last in the 60's either.
It does make fodder for comics

I like it

phil phillips is the real deal

Anyone care about the Oscars?

my wife and mil - they always try and see all the nominee's and watch the awards and discuss.............................

I just check out the after pics of the crazy red carpet outfits but could care less about the awards

Have not been into the Oscars for so long. Last time I watched the ceremony was when that crazy Italian guy was walking on the seats!

I ordered the independent from netflix.
Beasts of Southern Wild.It was available.
I dont watch them.

beast of southern wild is here from netflix - read the write up it got terrific reviews

The reviewers of the Oscar nominations called Beasts a sleeper .

I usually order all the nominations from Netflix.

we do for the ones we do not see in theaters - the documentories are always a surprise, good and bad, good she takes credit, bad and it was my fault :)

Rex Trailer passed for those of us who grew up a couple years ago in the Boston area.
