@cicerone imposter,
We’re home and settled in for the evening, going to watch Hugo on PPV. Review to follow
@jcboy,
Let us know what you think about the movie.
@cicerone imposter,
Will do, have to get the little one on the tub then going to put the movie on.
@cicerone imposter,
We both liked Hugo, a great film, I believe it won five academy awards. 30 seconds to Mars! Two thumbs up.
@Phoenix32890,
I agree about the original Wicker Man.

TCM's are usually really good. I watched The Hasty Heart as well, but last evening it was Boy on a Dolphin.
I watched The Road to Perdition today. Tom Hanks and Paul Newman were perfect together. These type stories are somewhat predictable, but I enjoyed it very much.
@jcboy,
Will have to put Hugo on my list of movies to watch. Thx for the feedback.
The Man Who Would Be King starring Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer in a grand adventure. My son remarked that Caine sounded young. I said look at him, this movie was made half his life ago.
Highly recommended. If you liked MASH and Monte Python and Stephen Speilberg's adventure movies, you will like this.
@plainoldme,
We're watching Avatar for probably the 100th time
@jcboy,
I watched
Taxi Driver with my daughter the other day. She hadn't seen it before, but was under the impression it was a RomCom. She won't tell me at what point she realised it wasn't.
@izzythepush,
I haven't seen that movie in ages, might have to look that one up again.
@izzythepush,
Yep, the move Taxi Driver was a good film
@jcboy,
So titantic 3D is out now. Maybe they'll see the damn iceberg this time.
@jcboy,
Not seen the film, but as a Southampton resident I have been given a free ticket to go to the Titanic museum when it opens. No, not the good one that's been on the news, that's in Belfast.
@izzythepush,
When I was in CA I saw a titanic exhibit on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, it was interesting.
I watched the movie Skin (2008) yesterday--a fictionalized account of the life of Sandra Laing, a black girl who was born to two white Afrikaner parents in South Africa during the apartheid era.

I was not familiar with Laing's story before seeing this film. It's a fascinating account of someone who became an outsider, even to her family, because her skin color determined every aspect of her life in South Africa.
@jcboy,
It's amazing how one disaster stands out over all the rest. There's a tussle beween us and Belfast over the Titanic. She was built in Belfast, but registered and sailed from Southampton. We already have a memorial similar to the Cenotaph, as a lot of the crew came from Southampton.
