Morrissey Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think the Curious Case of Benjamin Button was underrated. I don't think many people understood the whole meaning of the film. It deals with love, life and death so tragically its almost a prerequisite to have experienced all three one way or the other. Oh and Cate Blanchett was smoking for an older women.

LiLMiCKMANTLE Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Went and saw Night at the Museum 2 lastnight at the IMAX theater. it was the first time i had been there since the last willie wonka movie came out. and if you havent had the chance to see a movie on the really big screen then you dont know what your missing. the screen is 5-stories high the surround sound puts out 12,000 watts of power and it blows you away.. and the movie was really funny i think it was better then the first one.

Definitely. A lot of people frown on movie theaters claiming their 50" big screen and surround sound is better. I call bull$hit.

If I had the option of legally streaming all the new movies in my living room when they come outand inviting a few friends over for movie night as opposed to going to a noisy ass movie theater, I'd stream it every time.

Alk Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 im the oppisite. im not a big horror movie person but my girl is so i will most likely have to watch it. Why is it that it works like that. If it's a movie that the girl wants to see then the man sure as hell better go but if it's a movie the man wants to see he winds up going by himself? By the way, I've been married for going on 11 years, I already know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
