I took my son to see the Ninja Turtle movie today; I was pleasantly surprised.

Did you see a matinee or evening show? Was it worth the money?
I loved the original.
I don't go to movies, or anywhere else, in the evenings; that's when basketball comes on. If I'm not at work, I'm home watching the Kings/Bobcats/whoever on League Pass.

Amazing Grace...If you want to see an inspirational movie about a great man that history didn't give his due, go see this movie.

After having been too busy to see it while in theaters (by the way, boo to the fact that a full theatrical release lasts only about three weeks these days), I rented Children of Men today. Very, very good I thought. Not always easy to watch, and a bit different than I'd expected -- don't really know why it was different since I was fairly familiar with the story/tone before renting... just felt different, maybe -- but very well done.
Good enough even that I didn't get too bothered by the startling handsomeness of both Clive Owen and Chewitel Enjiofor being wasted in such dirty and unpleasant environments.

Children of Men was the best movie I saw last year. There were subtle art design details that really did it for me; 20 years from now we'll have floating projected TV screens in coffee shops, but the only noticeable change to our fossil fuel burning cars will be a "collision alert" display on our windshields.After having been too busy to see it while in theaters (by the way, boo to the fact that a full theatrical release lasts only about three weeks these days), I rented Children of Men today.

I thought it was quite genius considering our current rate/focus of improvement and innovation. Broken down double decker buses with digital advertisements.

Watched Curse of the Golden Flower tonight. I think each of Yimou's last three films have dropped off slightly in terms of story -- Hero was great, House of Flying Daggers was okay, this one had a few weak moments -- but visually, they're just stunning. Insanely beautiful.
It's one of those movies that while I enjoyed to a certain extent, had they cut out about 10% of the totally "drug smoking-induced" elements of the film, I think it could have been MUCH better.
I think I agree with GGG (?) on this one - the visual style is more the film than the film itself is....

...other than that, movie was hilarious.

I always like to regale with my latest chick flick misadventures, so:
Pride & Prejuice (2005)
And I must say I was impressed -- lacked Austin's nuance and humor, but had a lot of passion. And I had no idea Keira Knightley could actually act -- quite impressed on that front especically.

Two minor points, if I may...
While your title sounds interesting, especially in the light of the steroid controversies, I'm hazarding a guess that you meant "Pride and Prejudice"...
One other point. Of course, Keira can act. She's been paired opposite both Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp and has pretended to ignore each of them at times...

oops.
but how hard can it be to ignore a wooden mannequin and a gay/drunk pirate in mascara?
In any case, P & P showed me she had a real acting future beyond rubber octopusses, so that was nice.
Edit: it appears that she was actually nominated for an Oscar for her performance, so guess I was not the only one who noticed

Hit the theaters twice while on vacation, saw Blades of Glory and Hot Fuzz.
Blades of Glory was better than I expected, and Hot Fuzz (much like Shaun of the Dead before it) was a pleasant surprise and the cause of more than a few hearty chuckles.

I thought you were referring to the little known Barry Bonds documentary which chronicled his life prior to the 99 season.....
