    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

    I know I feel exactly the same way. If it isn't made with Jackson and crew then I have zero interest in seeing it. Totally depressing news.

    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

    Excellent news! Glad to see (hopefully) that Jackson will be doing this one!

    Saw III Discussion Thread

    Edit: Excellent points Dave. I left feeling somewhat dirty for having seen it. And I'm definitely not the type of person to feel that way. I can't believe for one nano-second that someone would think it acceptable to bring anyone under the age of 18 to see this film.

    Your thoughts on getting into Firefly and Battlestar Galactica.

    I'm way late to the thread but I just recently had a friend recommend these two to me (maybe 3-4 months before you Ron) and I have watched almost nothing else saved Firefly and BSG. IMO, they are some of the best television that has ever been produced period. Granted I haven't watched alot...

    The Matador - quick review

    I completely agree. I absolutely loved this film. Exceptional performances by Kinnear and Brosnan. I was really impressed with Brosnan and his performance. Easily one of the best movies that I've seen so far this year. Highly recommended!

    Do we have any idea what pricing will look like for BR/HD titles?

    I saw a link where pricing was mentioned at 60.00 per title for the first HD offerings? I hope that is horribly wrong info. Do we have any idea where pricing will be for Blu-Ray/HD titles? Are we in for a revert back to the days of laserdisc pricing? Most new release titles that I pick up...

    Lord of the Rings Revisited

    I am saving the viewing of these masterpieces on DVD until my home theater is completed. Watching them on a 26" widescreen tube with stereo sound would be a huge disservice to the films. 50" plasma can't arrive soon enough!

    The Contender ongoing thread

    Totally agree with you Steve. I think at this point it's Sergio's to lose but stranger things have happened (see #1 Daddy knockout :D ).

    Apprentice Season 3 ongoing thread

    Wow. I'm stunned. I would have mortgaged my house, cars etc. that Tana was going to win this but now I'll be pissed if she does. She did so many things wrong it's not even funny. Showed that she has zero leadership skills. I'm no Kendra fan (she comes off as a spoiled brat with her...

    The Amazing Race 7

    Excellent season--loved every minute of it and hope CBS keeps the series running! Anyone know if there's a season 8 in the works? If so I really hope they don't use celebrities of any kind. Bring out the normal/mostly-normal people! :D

    The Contender ongoing thread

    So who's going to win this whole thing? I'm certain Jesse won't. My bet is with either Sergio or Alfonso. They both seem to be much stronger boxers than the other two. Though they did seem to highlight Peter for the upcoming episode.

    Films that made you cry...

    Ohhh...excellent choice there John. I had totally forgotten about Frequency. That scene totally gets me every time and I completely agree---it's one of the most beautiful/touching moments in all of film for me.

    *** Official PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Discussion Thread

    I posted my thoughts in the review thread but I'll summarize here. I love the musical and really wanted to love this film. While I did enjoy it and would recommend it, count me among those that hated the Phantom's voice and found it seriously lacking. It just wasn't Crawford and is wasn't even...

    *** Official PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Review Thread

    I've seen the musical production several times and it's one of my all-time favorites. That being said here's a brief synopsis of my thoughts from my experience: Opening scene: OMG, jaw hits the floor. I absolutely loved how they handled the raising of the chandelier and "removing" the...

    Anyone else notice the audio was WAAAYYYY off? Or was it just me? I was watching on Comcast HD.

    Pierce Brosnan out as Bond? (UPDATE: Daniel Craig confirmed)

    I think Farrell could do an awesome Bond. My first choice would be Owen but Farrell wouldn't be too far behind. I'd love to see Brosnan back (loved him as Bond) but it appears that's not gonna happen.

    *** Official THE GRUDGE Review Thread

    Note: I searched for a thread and couldn't find anything so I'll add one. Please delete if I've missed something. I saw The Grudge this afternoon and really enjoyed it. There are plot holes big enough to drive a tank battalion through, the acting isn't the greatest, but as a pure...

    The Amazing Race 5 a go....

    That was my biggest issue as well. But I am glad Chip and Kim won it. I didn't want Colin in Christy or the other couple. I would have loved to see the bowling mom's win it. I'm very much looking forward to the next TAR! One of the only reality shows worth watching, IMHO.

    The Amazing Race 5 a go....

    LOL! Didn't hear about that one. Kinda a dead giveaway huh?!

    The Amazing Race 5 a go....

    I laughed at that. Then the Bowling mom's did the exact same thing.

    The Amazing Race 5 a go....

    Another great Amazing Race season! Glad to see Colin and Christy didn't win. BUT I'VE GOT A BEEF WITH CBS!! I knew 2 1/2 weeks ago who was going to win. When checking my Tivo to make sure it was going to record all the shows, I noticed the tagline to the season finale was "You...

    The Phantom of the Opera trailer is up

    Thanks Craig for that information. Glad to hear it will be a musical! I'd also really love to see Les Mis as well. Until then, I'll just have to keep watching my Les Miserables in Concert (Dream Cast) DVD.

    The Phantom of the Opera trailer is up

    Does anyone know if this is going to be a movie production of the musical as a musical or will it be presented as a drama ala 1998's Les Miserables (Liam Neeson) The trailer uses the music from the broadway production so I'm curious as to what kind of film this will be. I remember once upon a...

    *** THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE Review Thread

    I've never seen the original so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. I absolutely loved it! Exceptional acting by Denzel and a fine performance from the rest of the cast. Great cinematography! Highly recommended thriller.

    2004 Golden Globes

    Jeff: Thanks for posting that story about Miramax and LOTR. I had no idea that happened. I shudder in horror thinking about what LOTR could have been compared to what it has become. Bless the wise souls at NewLine!!

    Bob, The Bachelor

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually embarrased for Leann. I didn't know people could get that conceited, arrogant and (insert word for female dog here). How could you face people after that.......

    "Ed" - 9/23/03

    I guess I'm in the minority but I thought the episode was weak in comparison to many of the great episodes they've done in the past. Dr. Mike had a couple of great moments but I was left wanting...

    For Love or Money 2
