Have you seen The Lady Vanishes?

It's quite a good movie in its own right--the Hitchcock original, I mean--but I think it would be interesting for you to see some of the similarities to Flightplan.

My Thoughts:
This is yet another one I got from the library. What can I say... I really been on a library kick lately. I grabbed this one because (as you can see from the front cover alone) it has a lot of big names in it. After watching it I have to say I really wasn't impressed much at all. It had a moment here and there... but over-all it really wasn't worth the time I put in to watch it. I did like one or two of the segments... but that is about it.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

Thanks Caleb for the recommandation. And since i like most of Hitchcocks work i've put it on my wishlist!

My Thoughts:
This is one I recently borrowed from the library. It is not a bad film... I enjoyed it. Though I have seen better films in the genre. I did like seeing Hayden Panettiere in the film. I have liked her since first seeing her play the cheerleader in Heroes. Anyway... to keep this short and sweet... worth the time put in to watch it. Check it out if you get the chance.

My Thoughts:
This is one I never got to see until now... surprising as there is a lot of good cast members in this one... like Molly Ringwald (I just love a redhead!), Alan Alda, Madeline Kahn and Joe Pesci.... and at the time this came out I was working at a video store... so I definitely had the opportunity. I found the film to be right entertaining. Maybe not the best comedy I ever seen... but was well worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
Well, that was actually a better movie then i expected! A good oldschool action movie with high paced action scenes trough out the whole thing. And personally i have to say that it was good to see Charlie Sheen back in his prime, when he was as great as he could be. Its a shame to see whats happend to him the last few years. With the focus on anything but his career. And Clint Eastwood ofc is always a solid act. This is a great action movie and its highly recommaned! Just two hours of great fun!

My Thoughts:
I cant remember if i've seen this one before or not. Didnt remember it anyways. And what a movie it was! A bit different than i thought it would be, but they made it work just perfectly trough out. And Jack Nicholson was great as the PI. Great mix between the drama\suspence\action. The picture and sound in this bluray was amazing. I havent seen the DVD (that i know of) so i dont have anything to compare it to. But i really enjoyed this! This is highly recommanded! I would go so far to say that this one is a classic.

My Thoughts:
I watched this one when I woke last night in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. It is a movie I recently borrowed from the library. It was entertaining for a film made for kids... but I definitely seen better. The main boy (Jimmy Bennett) in this one looked very familiar. When I checked to see who it was I found out he starred as the son in one of my favorite short lived series... No Ordinary Family. And playing his big sister was Kat Dennings (2 broke Girls). Playing their father was Jon Cryer (2 and a Half Men).  So there was a lot of familiar faces in this one for me. The main problem I had with this film was how they showed the film in short segments (reason for the title) out of order. I mean it wasn't really hard to follow... but just felt unnecessary. I wouldn't mind adding this film to my collection eventually... but it isn't something I would be in a hurry to add.
