The Rite

Posted (edited)

The Body with Antonio Banderas (TV-14. This is a secular movie about Religion. A Religious friend thought it was a great movie. I on the other hand found it a little shaky, but others may like it. It had a little swearing and a Priest getting a little close with a woman.)

I am Number 4 is really good. It has been a while since my Mom Dad and I all agreed on a movie to enjoy together, let alone agreed on a movie and there was mutual enjoyment for everyone. Seriously its been months if not years, so that was real good, ps. I'm going from Lurker to PM Newbie!!!!! :clap:

This is an oldie and Danish, but I really really enjoyed "Babette's Feast." It's subtitled, but has a wonderful message about service. Babette is a Catholic Frenchwoman fleeing persecution, and ends up cooking and keeping house for two elderly sisters. The sisters are keeping up a congregation of very strict, austere Protestants founded by their father. But they eventually let Babette prepare a meal celebrating their father's would-be 100th birthday, and everyone's pretty surprised.

Great movie... very Catholic. Far better take on enjoying food compared to Julie and Julia.

I haven't watched Ip Man 2 yet, but the first one was amesome, much better than Jet Li's overrated film Fearless.

I think that most of jet Li's films are overrated… but I've only seen Hero.

The King's Speech:

A. I was expecting a very dry, boring film but it's actually anything but that. I thoroughly enjoyed it… now I know why it won at the Oscars. Great photography.

The Jet Li films that I liked were Fist of Legend, Kiss of the Dragon and Unleashed. His worst film by far was The One.

[i]True Grit[/i]

Loved it!

[i]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt II[/i]

[spoiler]I thought it was great, although not excellent. Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman provided wonderful performances. I was thoroughly disappointed with the [i]final[/i] final battle between Harry and Voldemort. Let's jump off a cliff, fly around Hogwarts, fight in an empty courtyard, and die by crumbling into pieces like Prof. Quirrell. Seriously? It should've happened in the Great Hall, or at least everyone should've been outside for the duel. Where was the dialogue between Harry and Voldemort about the power of love and sacrifice and the call to repentance? And, maybe it's just me, but I thought that the duel ought to have ended like it did in the book- Volemort uses the Killing Curse, Harry uses the Disarming Spell, and it backfires, hits Voldemort and Harry gets the Elder Wand.

I was also disappointed that Fred didn't get a death scene. Or at least more footage of the family grieving.[/spoiler]

Hopefully it will have Bane seriously injuring Bruce Wayne.
