We own it on dvd but doubt we'll watch it again, it's in the back of the closet....hasn't aged particularly well. Too much schmaltz, and even for a fantasy movie it lacks the level of believability to sustain multiple viewings.

Didn't say I didn't enjoy it, just not nearly as good as advertised.

I have to disagree. This (Gump), along with Shawshank, A Few Good Men and a couple others are movies I'm drawn to whenever they're on.

I watched Gravity Friday night, first time I saw it. I thought it was pretty good. Nothing great, but not 3/10. I'd give it a 6/10.

Gravity is kicking rear at the BAFTA's, there might be some very upset people on Oscar night. Still need to see American Hustle...looks like a movie I'd really enjoy.

I watched Groundhog Day from start to finish yesterday.

It's always been a favorite of mine, but it's been a while. Such a great flick! I love the parts when he's trying over and over to get in the his coworkers pants.

10/10

I love listening to people's views about how long Phil was stuck in Groundhog Day. My guess....had to be around 10 years to learn everything.

Just for you, I found the read interesting since I always liked Groundhog's Day.

Sometimes my intentions are to actually count how many times it seems like he starts a new day but that doesnt work because of how long he says it took him to master the card toss into the hat.

The Monuments Men--8.5. The story is ok,but the cast is incredible. It's gotten to the point I've got to see every movie John Goodman is in.

I wanna see this. Goodman is one of the best. As much as I hated the show Roseanne, he was insanely good in it.

Kind of describes my feeling. Almost like they tried too hard to cram in too much drama, and as a result much of it felt underdeveloped and fell flat.

The scene that pretty much sums it up: "ok....I have almost no idea what to do....wait, here's the manual right where I expected it to be....now I'll just randomly open it right to the page I need....despite my obvious lack of technical expertise a quick skim and I know exactly what to do.....oh, look, George Clooney is back...."
