    Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

    I saw a good bit of this movie, to the end on a movie channel recently. while that is on TV, I figured I'd give this a quick comment here. I was so impressed with the young Thomas Horn, and Sandra Bullock of course was good at her role. I did not see much of Hanks role. I will leave that comment there. The young boy Horn was so impressive with his intelligence, and acting skills. I'd have to say it was the best child acting I have seen since Dakota Fanning.

    It's a little emotional at times, but catch this flick if you can and see what you think about Thomas Horn's job in this movie. If I missed a prior thread on this movie, sorry. I didn't see one.

    Pretty powerful film, and about a subject where a boy struggles to make sense of something that still makes no sense to all of us.

    I also thought the subject and mystery of the grandfather was intruiging.

        We're about a month away from Pixar's new movie "Cars" being released. I know that there's a lot of people who are highly excited about this one, just like me.

        Pixar has done so incredibly great with every movie they've done so far, making a great flick, that I'm always apprehensive...

        America's Sweethearts- whose movie?
        by JonMarsh
        I saw this movie this weekend. I've seen a few different reviews by people, some not all that hot (B-, C+) discussing this as "the new Julia Roberts Movie". And then they complain about how small a role Julia Roberts had in this movie.

        Reality reset time, folks. Julia Roberts...

        Get Smart the movie
        by George Bellefontaine
        Well, it was okay, but honestly, the laughs were far and few between, and though Steve Carell gave it his best, it was really hard for me to accept anyone other than Don Adams as Maxwell Smart. Still, it was entertaining enough that I didn't regret buying the disc. I just won't be in a rush to view...
