I saw it yesterday and I agree. it was not worth the $$. It was almost as if i was watching the movie backwards, the way the story was told. I expected better, but hey..sometimes you don't get what you pay for.

I haven't seen "The Grudge" and that's only because I saw it's Japanese predecessor "Ju On" which was ridiculously un-scary (what's so scary about a little boy in white body paint?) and just plain silly.

My sympathies on the loss of your $10 Chico...

:)

I know that "The Grudge" is not one of them...that's for sure. I feel like I wasted $10. Typical suspense horror plot. That "something's out there" premise is so tired. At least they could have put a new spin on it. My favorite horror flick of the past two years remains 28 Days Later. Though I haven't seen the remake of Dawn Of The Dead yet. Any thoughts?

One False Move
Swept From The Sea
The Other Sister
The Big Blue
Forrest Gump

Not of late but my all time favorites are:

Hair
Tommy
Platoon
Titanic
Schnidler's List

of late? hmmmn....let's see

Shaun of the Dead

Zatoichi - The Blind Swordsman

Farenheit 911 (even tho it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from surfin the net, it served as a wake up call to those still sleeping)

Naked Weapon (came out in 2002 but has yet to be dethroned...it's my favorite asian joint)

Starsky & Hutch - I don't care what anyone says, this movie had me almost ******* in my seat at points. I love Ben Stiller.

sup gs fam! it's my 1st post so go easy on me:

hero-without a doubt it's an incredible, gorgeous flick and so worth the $9.50-$10.25 they charge for movies here in nyc. i like it better than crouching tiger hidden dragon. even the soundtrack had me hooked!
mo' better blues-favorite movie in the world of all time hands down. another fantastic soundtrack.
under the cherry moon-people really slept on this prince movie and i don't know why!
el postino(the postman)-subtitles (so if you have adhd, don't bother) with the poetry of pablo neruda. great flick, great soundtrack.
bound-this flick is what still has me getting goosebumps for gina gershon. **** she is so sexy!
and a bonus flick:
crooklyn-this is everything brooklyn is to me. i remember running up the hill to the monument in ft. greene park, playing and rough housing with the boys (cuz i was a tomboy), sitting on the stoop getting my hair braided and singing along to the partridge family on t.v. i want my kids to have the same kind of childhood on the same kind of block and running up the same hill of ft. greene park.
