hey guys lets talk about the movies we've watched and those we would love to watch.
i'll go first..
my all time favourite
countdown;
10. Emperor's New Groove..witty
9. Earthsea, harry potter, lord of the rings..
8. Shakespear In Love...
7. Duplex
6. Pink Panther
5. Bringing Down The House.. any time of any day. its THAT cool
4. Undercover Brother...that 'fro' is to die for
3. Grease!! i can watch this 1001 times
2. Shark Tale..love them 'rasta' jelly fish, "respect"
1. Findidng Nemo..."Fish are friends,not food"
1. Rocky!! i love this guy
1. TERMINATOR! "i'll be back"

ok,i've watched "The Last King Of Scotland" and well, it was good, too kizungu though. Didnt like it that much. but i'd watch it again.i think Forest is a talented actor,he WAS Amin! For a second i believed that Amin DID actually look like that till i saw the photos in the end. He's good. but i think life back then was much worse than what is in the movie.
i recommend it.

..........i seem to have watched just one in your list.

I recommend the new movie

"Blood Diamonds"

Could have been a bit more "deep" in terms of complexity of the story line etc but on other hand the poor americans audience (the big market) have to understand to.

Wish next line of movies form those film makers could be:
"Blood Oil"
"Blood Cupper"
"Blood Mining in Africa in General"
Etc.

Yes I have watched and I surely know that any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

I have watched a copuple of those, but I would rank them differently

Harry potter....too much kid stuff for my liking
lord of the rings...pretty scary, especially the return of the king.
Duplex...yes cool stuff, Barrymore and Stiller are just great
Bringing Down The House... For no reason at all, Queen Latifa doesn't impress me
Undercover Brother...the kid is great, but the character inconsistent
Shark Tale... well, cartoon, Id rather have 'Mulan'
Findidng Nemo... I dont understand why the movie was a hit
Rocky!! ...Too oldskool.
TERMINATOR!...I am begin to dislike Arnie, since he became a politician.

My choices are
1. The green Mile
2. Heaven and Earth
3. Erin Brokovich
4. The'Star Wars' series
5. The Spiderman
6. The Big Fish

Sajini!!!

ok, harry potter...maybe what you think.
lord of the rings freaked you out??!!! hahaha who is the chicken
DUPLEX is the best!! yeahh... what was the old hag's name again? Mrs what? ,"oh Nancy..." and the part she would count the grapes and stuff
oh Queen Latifah is great,i love her so... to you Sajini
thats true about Eddie...but I LOVE HIM..and his fro was "tight"
i liked Mulan but i prefer other cartoons to it.
hey...now, Nemo,i think was a huge success and it deserved it.
ROCKY BALBOA....yeahh ma man.. OLD fashioned as he was..i love him. that movie is great. i thought having a movie with 5 parts is a bit too much but when i started watching it,i couldnt stop. it was THAT great.
"I'LL BE BACK" still love him, politician or no politician cuz he still sound the same "robotnic" guy and he still cant crack jokes... wonder how he gets to be so funny then..

ok, i think the big fish is great.i havent watched it but i have it (strange,huh). its my kind of movie..the girl running and the tree...well,now that Sajini(of all) likes it,it must be something more that i had imagined.

why would anyone like star wars?

spiderman...cool fiction, just never liked the idea of a spider..but i wouldnt watch it again

i've seen this Erin Brokovich and i have it,just wont watch it. dunno why. this time i'll watch it

Sajini,did you get that movie,"the skeleton key"?
you should watch it. if the lord of the rings freaked you out... i wonder how much damage this one will cause

Did you know that some american states have stopped Harry Potter.
They don't want their kids to learn about witch craft etc...

Wonder what the same christian extremists think of:
Lord of The Rings is great. After reading the books as a teenager it was amazing to see the moives.
Usually it's not, to read a story and then see someone's vision of it, but this was different.

My top list at the moment
- Pan's Labyrinth by director Guillermo del Toro

I was really suprised. Great movie! Did not read about before seeing it.
A beautiful view and escape from violence of a child and a good picture of the sick Spain under fascist leader Franco.

- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Violent, English black comedy by Guy Ritchie
Introduces actors Vincent Jones and Jason Statham (later in Revolver and in Snatch)


- Snatch
Same director and now with Brad Pitt (probably one of his best performances ever)


- The Italian Job

(I heard The Brazilian Job will come 2008!)

- Frank Millers, Sin City (as a comic fan)


Ups, lots of violence here. Sorry. Like drama to. Promise.

Will see "The Last King Of Scotland" next week, in Kampala!
Guess thats where it should be seen.

Maria,
The LOTR did not freak me, though some scenes were really dramatic
Nancy...that old woman. I have never wanted an old woman to die as I did this one.
Balboa? ... I will only watch it all the movies in the store run out

I am actually looking forward to Spiderman III.

You said you did not like the star wars? I especially liked the last episode where this freaky creature speaks in Kikuyu.

I will be looking for The Skeleton Key. I enjoy horrors and other scary stuff, but I do not like it when someone is tortured continually beyond endurance. That is why I did not enjoy The passion of the Christ, or the American Haunting.

Kwani which movies do i watch??
i watched 'the last king of Scotland' and blood diamonds and i liked them.
i've watched 'bringing the hse down' and sure sajini,i too dont like Queen Lattifah.
am eagerly waiting for 'Wild Hogs'

The two movies that i would like to watch over and over again are
'Absolute Power' and 'the bandits'.....
finding Nimo? i watched it on telli and i didnt like it.

I HAVE TO WATCH THIS.
SNATCH...i have it but for some reason i have never watched it. this time i will.
- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels...not my kind of movie...
ITALIAN JOB....loved it...I THINK THE PLOT WAS REALLY COOL.
but i wouldnt watch it again.
yeah, maybe its BETTER to watch that movie in uganda and get a feel for all that happened in it.

Nancy...that old woman. I have never wanted an old woman to die as I did this one.

no no Sajini, her name was not Nancy, Nancy was Drew. i was asking, what was the old woman called? what was her name? Mrs.Peaman??? you remember?
oohh now she was like sooo annoying, i think i'd shoot the screen if i had a gun with me

hey, now Sajini, Rocky was a hit!! have you watched all the 5 parts? i did and the one with Apollo Creed was the best. i love the Russian guy too...the Big black guy...great movie.
and the way Balboa tries to crack jokes with everybody that arent even funny like,"why do cows wear bells round their necks?..because their horns dont work" ...no wonder Audrey didnt laugh. thats what the movie fun..cuz its not fun.

spiderman 3,i'd love to watch. i liked 2.

hahah a freaky creature speaking kikuyu... it had to be "freaky"

speaking for yourself?
Sajini, i'm sorry if i tend to "torture" you sometimes.

Passion of the christ...i want to be convicted..repent myself of my sins. i want to be clean so i'll keep watching it.
