NOTES:

I've seen Flightplan and I thought it was a good (but not great) film.

I'm hoping to see Good Night, and Good Luck in the theater but since it's not in any theater near me, I will probably have to wait until DVD. I'm also planning to see on DVD: The Legend of Zorro, Dreamer: Inspired By A True Story, and Shopgirl.

Im just gonna see Chicken Little when it comes out on DVD. The same goes for Zorro.

For a not so big budget film Saw 2 is doing pretty good. Think we may get another Saw movie because of this?

Saw Jarhead on Friday. It was a pretty dang good movie.

I saw Shopgirl tonight and really enjoyed it. I love Claire Danes.

I already had seen Flightplan, and thought it was good.

I want to see a matinee of Jarhed sometime this week. I also really want to see Good Night, and Good Luck.

It's unbelievable to me, and at the same time I am so glad to see, that independent... good films are making money. I mean... You Got Served was #1 at the box office at one point... and to think that now we're getting GN, & GL. up there! Yey Americans!

I'll be checking out Legend of Zorro since I received a free pass with my Mask of Zorro Deluxe Edition DVD. I decided to upgrade from the old DVD I had since '98.

Seeing Mask of Zorro yesterday on cable has really pushed me to see Legend of Zorro, as it wasn't as high on my list of must-see films a while ago.

Saw II was great, it's about the only thing I've seen in the top ten. I saw Three . . .Extremes on Saturday, and boy was that strange. With all the blood and guts of the first two segments, I was surprised Takashi Miike's piece was so bloodless. It was more of a psychologoical drama than the stuff he usually does. But "Dumplings", oh god, that one's just nasty!

I've seen Saw II and it was great.

I want to see Chicken Little, Dreamer: Inspired By A True Story, Good Night, and Good Luck and The Weather Man eventually.

I took the boys to see Chicken Little this weekend. They enjoyed it. I thought it was boring as hell. It skewed pretty young story-wise...what story there was. The animation was interesting, but it didn't seem ground-breaking to me. Overall, I was less than impressed.

Probably, as horrifying as that thought is. But for a film made for about four million dollars to have already brought in sixty million, I'd say it's almost guaranteed.

[KenK]

Oh, Saw III is confirmed as of this morning.

[Legato]

Oh, Saw III is confirmed as of this morning.

Well it's nice to see a horror film that isn't some PG-13 Teen Slash Horror Film getting another deserving sequal. Coming from a horror movie fan I would saw Saw is one of the most innovative horror films out thare.

What's innovative about it?

I really want to see this, but it isn't playing anywhere near me.

[Legato]

What's innovative about it?

The way he kills his victims for one thing. It beats having a killer kill a person with a knife or anyother type of weapon randomly in some isolated location.

Besides how the killer kills his victims in Saw he seems, in his way, to have a pretty good reason why he does it.

[Nick Kal]

Saw is utter crap. The characters were laughable and the traps are ridiculous and funny.
