Movies

The last two weekends we have watched a few movies. Some have been really good, some have been not so good. We have seen Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, War of the Worlds, Fantastic Four and The Dukes of Hazzard.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was my favorite. I loved the book, and they did an awesome job with the special effects. It followed the book fairly well, which surprised me because the book was long with tons of detail. I would highly recommend both reading the book and seeing the movie.

War of the Worlds was good. Michael liked it more than me. Another movie that had some great special effects. It was very intense and kept me on the edge of my seat. For an alien movies, which I usually hate, I liked it.

Fantastic Four was OK. Had good special effects. The over all story line was lacking something, I am not sure what it was but I will not be adding this movie to my collection.

The Dukes of Hazzard was OK. I did not have real high expectations going into this movie. The only thing that was like the TV series was the names of the people. I might add this one to my collection some day, just because I thought it had some really funny parts.

What movies have you seen lately? Were they good?

    Being a huge Dukes' fan, I purchased the unrated version and watched Saturday night for the first time. I would have to say I was pretty disappointed. It was a little too dirty and not really "corny" enough, like the TV show. I really think it could have been done better. It was pretty entertaining and funny, but just not what I would have expected.

    I just watched Ray and cried my eyes out. I almost don't think I can stand to see another story about a child being hurt/dying again. I never knew his background or his extensive contributions to music so I'm glad I watched it but I'm still hurting over the story- it REALLY got to me. I watched a British Zombie movie the other day that was AWESOME. I'll try to remember the title.

    I agree with you NLP! It was pretty dirty and not corny enough. The show was so great because it was so corny. I did not get the college part with all the boobs. Women do not hang out together topless, ever. It's weird.
    Krit -I loved Ray, in fact we own it. It really got to me too. I have only watched it once but I have been thinking about watching it again.
