Weekend Movie Marathon
Unwatched DVDs
The first weekend marathon after a long month of only horror. With all the movies I had given to me lately how could I not do an Unwatched DVDs marathon? I am now up to 450 movies on DVD in my collection that I haven't watched yet! While it will be quite some time before I get this number down to anything really manageable... I feel the need to work on it this weekend.
Below is the list of 450 movies I have yet to watch. There is movies in this list that I have seen before. Just not since getting the DVDs. I am also included which are shipped but haven't arrived yet... as they may get here in time for this weekend's marathon. Those few titles I am putting in blue bold.
As always... if you see a title that you either like and want to recommend... or you are curious about feel free to ask for a review. No promises... but I will see if I can fit them in. Just keep in mind... I most likely won't watch any horror or thrillers this weekend... what with watching so much horror last month I still feel like taking a bit of a break from it.

My Thoughts:
Now... I know I never seen this "movie" before as I just got the DVD. The thing is... I remember this storyline pretty well. I know I have seen it. I have both Superman: The Animated Series as well as Batman: The Animated Series... I could be wrong here... but I am thinking that maybe this is a 2 or 3 part episode of one (or both) of these series that they also released as a separate movie? But that is fine... either way I enjoyed it.
My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

My Thoughts:
This is one I caught on cable a while back... and remember enjoying it.... wanting to eventually add it to my collection. And thanks to a friend I now have it. After watching the DVD I still find it an entertaining and fun little romantic comedy... with a bit of a twist. It does get a little on the silly side at times. But definitely worth seeing. I would have liked to of seen a few more extras on the DVD though. Maybe a gag reel and possibly a commentary track with the stars... they must of had fun making this one.

My vote is for "Eulogy" and "Notting Hill".
And when can we finally expect yours and Brittany's classic Star Wars trilogy marathon? :)
-
I'm excluding horror - I think you've seen enough of those for a while!
I'm trying to pick some that I think you might really enjoy:
The Accused
Crash
Good Will Hunting
A History of Violence
King Kong
A Knight's Tale
The Last Seduction
Mona Lisa Smile (w/ Brit)
Monsters Ball
Mr. Holland's Opus (w/ Brit) - It's not a musical Pete
National Treasure
The Pursuit of Happyness (w/ Brit)
Radio (w/ Brit)
Star Wars (w/ Brit)
Tombstone w/ Roger! :laugh:
-
I been waiting on her for Star Wars... but if she don't want to watch it before too long I may have to do it without her. Next weekend she goes to her grandmother's house. So maybe she will want to do it with me the following weekend.
-
Oh, yes. Good Will Hunting. I must have missed it in the list. This one also gets my vote.
I could also give a vote to "Mary Poppins", but you said no horror :laugh:

Thanks Kathy... didn't realize The Pursuit of Happyness was still on my unwatched list... watched that one a while back!
Mr. Holland's Opus reads like a musical! :P
-
Well, Pete and I can't watch Tombstone together...too long a commute for me! :whistle: I actually haven't watched that movie yet...maybe I should soon?
Pete, I'm not positive because I haven't watched most of Superman: The Animated Series yet but I think "The Batman-Superman Movie" is the combination of the 3-part episode World's Finest which is in volume 2 of the Superman set. World's Finest Comics was the title of the comic book that Superman and Batman used to team up regularly in.
-
You must be right Roger... as the Batman Superman movie had a subtitle in the opening credits that said World's Finest. And I do have that Superman animated series set... so as I figured I did see it before... just cut up into the 3 episodes.
Thanks Roger! :)
-
One of these days, I'll get back to the Superman set. Animated wise, I've been concentrating on Justice League lately. First I watched the first season of Justice League Unlimited (the third season overall) and now I've gone back to watching the first season of Justice League (first season overall).

Pete try to watch Auto Focus a film about Bob Crane (of Hogan's Hero fame) that I really like. Watch it at least 10 times since I got it and never got tired of watching this film. Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe (as always) give incredibles performance in this film. :thumbup:
-
Thanks for the reminder Jimmy... I will try to get to that one this weekend... as it is one I been wanting to check out. :)

My Thoughts:
After all the people that recommended this one (on and off this site) I thought I should pop this one in next. My main concern in this movie is that it is Robin Williams... but in a drama? I believe I remember seeing him in another drama and enjoyed him in it... but was that a fluke? But I must say after watching this movie it was no fluke! He was just fantastic in this one... no way around it... he can act! Matt Damon is excellent in this one as well. This is a very good story that I enjoyed quite a bit. But I must admit that some scenes were a little slow for my taste. I know it is the kind of story it is... but there was a couple times I caught my attention slipping. Even so... the movie always pulled my attention back before too long.

I liked Robin Williams in Patch Adams too. Have you seen it?
-
Yup... seen that one several times. I consider that one to be a good mixture of both comedy and drama. :)
Edit:
Matter of fact that might be the one I was thinking for his other dramatic role I saw?
-
When you mentioned drama, I thought of him in One Hour Photo.
-
Could be... I seen that one too.. a long time ago. I guess I have him in more dramatic roles then I thought.

This fabulous new biopic, based on the memoirs of actor Barry Williams (Greg Brady), reveals the behind-the-scenes truth about what really happened: the legendary off-screen battles between Robert Reed (Mike Brady) and the show's real daddy, series creator Sherwood Schwartz; Barry's date with his screen Mom; his relationship with 'sister' Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) and the ultimate question - did they or didn't they? You'll laugh and cry along with them all as the meteoric rise to international TV stardom brings happiness and heartbreak in a moving story of what the rocky road to fame is really like.

My Thoughts:
I bought this one more because I am a Kaley Cuoco fan then I am a Brady Bunch fan. It does seem I enjoy the series more now then I did when I was a kid... I know it is a very odd thing... I don't understand it myself. Maybe it is just a strong nostalgic thing.
Anyway... in this TV movie Kaley Cuoco plays Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady). This movie was made 10 years ago so she does look a bit younger in this one. After all going by imdb... Kaley was only 15 at the time of making this movie.. wow... that is my daughter's age. It was odd though... in some scenes I actually saw Maureen McCormick in her. But in other scenes all I could see is Kaley Cuoco.
I like that this was off the book written by Barry Williams (Greg)... it makes you feel you can believe at least a big part of it. And I learned a lot of things I didn't realize before... like the fact that the Brady Kids actually went on tour as a musical group. I was surprised that this movie didn't even touch on the trips they went on for the vacation episode... like the Grand Canyon and Hawaii. Over-all I found the movie to be both interesting and fun... so I am glad I picked it up.

Was this one of those E! behind-the-scenes kind of documentaries? I didn't know Kaley was in this...I may have to get it now! And I've actually read the book this is based on though it's been several years.
-
No... it is not a documentary at all... it is an actual movie about the making of The Brady Bunch... from the prospective of Barry Williams. Barry Williams has a part in the movie as himself in the beginning of the movie... and in the end of the movie. Plus he sort of narrates a bit during the middle of the movie as well.
Another thing I thought was cool... but forgot to mention... Micheal Lookinland was played by his real life son... Scott Michael Lookingland. Also Michael had a small cameo appearance as a cameraman.

Robin Williams can do more serious roles really well too.
He's really good in Insomnia ...I need to watch that one again.

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I seen this classic Disney movie since I was a kid. A movie I remembered really enjoying. While I still enjoyed it very much... it wasn't quite as good as I remembered. While there was definitely some laughs in this one... it wasn't as many as I was remembering. But there was also scenes and people I was remembering that wasn't in this movie... so I think what happen was that in my mind I was combining some.. if not all... the Herbie movies together. Which just makes me want to find the rest of the movies so I can see them again as well. For such an old movie... the special effects were done rather well. I mean after all... this movie is over 40 years old. Anyway... it was fun watching this movie again after all these years. And they really seemed to make a nice special edition release for it... though I haven't taken the time to check out the extras yet.

My Thoughts:
I felt like something more on the silly side of things next. And I definitely got that. When it comes to Will Ferrell movies... Some I really enjoy... but others I just can't stand. This one is unfortunately far from a favorite. While it did have a little entertainment value in some scenes... for the most part I just couldn't get into this one. The very ending moment of this movie was so ridiculous in itself it made my score of the movie go down a bit. But hey... at least I did make it to that end moment. I was starting to wonder if I would while watching this one.

Just rewatch it yesterday and like the first time I find it boring and uninspired... For a Christopher Nolan movie this is really weak, even Al Pacino and Hilary Swank doesn't help. Compare to Following and Memento this is really a waste of time...
Of course maybe it's just me again :shrug:
-
Been so long since I seen it... I really can't say Jimmy! :P
-
It has been a while since I watched it too. I think I remember it having a slower pace, but I thought that worked for the movie..to help build tension.
-
What tension Marie? This movie isn't slow moving at all, it doesn't move...
Seriously what tension???

Maybe one needs to watch Insomnia to fall asleep! :laugh:

The Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong did a good job with this for me untill I sent it to Pete in exchange for Tromeo and Juliet :laugh:
-
BTW... did you ever watch Tromeo and Juliet?

Answered my own question seeing you have a review up for it! :)

Well, I really like Insomnia. Superb film. And the tension was in Pacino struggling with his conscience. I found the dynamic fascinating of not only giving control to Williams, but making him morally right, at least in the case of Pacino's partner.

I thought it moved...and I thought there was tension with what was going on. It isn't action packed, but I still think it is good. I liked it anyway.
