Movie suggestions - share your favorites!!!!

Hey BAF!!!  I love getting ideas from you guys - so I figured we could share our movie picks and suggestions as of late.....

From me - if you LOVE action - you GOTTA see 'Taken'  I never thought of Liam Neeson as the action type - but dude TORE IT UP!!!  I absolutely loved this pic - it's on par with Die Hard for me

Noah's Arc - if you LOVE the series - you will LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie!!!!  I am STILL upset with LOGO for discontinuing the series - I so LOVE that show!!!!!  The movie is a two snaps with a twist AND a kiss!!!!

What are YOUR picks?????  And it doesn't have to be anything recent - if you got an oldie but a goodie that deserves a re-watch - SHOUT IT OUT!!!!! 

Hey MM...wow...funny you should post this as I saw 3 movies over the weekend that made me ask myself...how the heyll did I miss these...and they are:

1. The Notebook (starring Ryan Gosling, James Garner, Rachael McAdams)
2. Freedom Writers (starring Hillary Swank)
3. Shackles (starring D.L. Hughley)

I'll have to come back and edit who's in the movies...but w/o coffee I need to jot my thoughts down when they come to me (haha).

"The Notebook" was better than I thought it would have been.  Yeah, I got a soft spot (as you can tell from my choices, I guess).  The ending was bittersweet. 

Hey D...OMG I stumbled upon that movie flipping channels and said "hmmm...let's see what its all about" and OMG...I am ordering it today for my collection.  I really enjoyed that movie.

Cassie,
I got "talked" into watching that movie.   It was a hell of a lot better than I thought it would have been.  It was sad in parts, too. 

I happened upon Freedom Writers yesterday and couldnt stop watching it.  It was a great movie!!

"Taken" was cool (ya gotta love bootlegs-lol).  It was a bit like the "Die Hard" movies

I enjoyed "Traitor", with Don Cheadle.  A bit slow in spots early, but it picks up and has, what I thought was a pretty good ending. 

In terms of oldies, I have a classic from 1943, "Cabin in the Sky", one of the first Hollywood-produced movies with an all-Black cast.  It's a musical comedy starring (for you more mature viewers who may know who these ppl are-lol) Ethel Waters, Lena Horne, and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.  It may has some borderline questionable racial sterotypes (Hell, this WAS 1943), but on the whole I enjoyed it.  I have let my daughter see it for a change of pace.  She actually liked it.
Finally, for those who may have a taste for foreign films, I have two: "City of God" (2004) and "Orfeu" (1999).  Both films (subtitlted) take place in Brazil. 

"City of God" tell the story of a young man growing up in a Brazillian slum trying to avoid getting caught up in the drug game.  A well told story, it reminds me in many ways of "GoodFellas".  This, like "GoodFellas", is also based on a true story.

"Orfeu" is the retelling of the story "Black Orpheus",  a story of ill-fated meeting/ relationship between a charismatic, popular song-writer and a young woman new to that particular neighborhood.  Very colorful, it give one what I would think is an idea of what its like to be in Brazil during their annual carnival. 

I hope people find these films as enjoyable as I do.  Yeah, they may be corny, but I like 'em. lol
 

I love anything with an action hero or that is comic book based.  (Except X men they just destroyed the potential)  Anyway  I love all action movies


Does Conan the Destroyer count or Beast Master???  Do Saturday morning Karate flics count??

# 1 Spiderman (all of them)
# 2 The Hulk
# 3 Barbarella

You didn't like any of the new Batman movies? 

Which Hulk?  Not the first (boring) one?  lol

I just didn't want to get out of hand but hell yeah I loved the batman movies all but the one with Val Kilmer he was no way to follow up Michael Keaton.

Now I like the special effect of the first Hulk so that is why that is on my list.
