I think the only part I enjoyed was Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter. She played the role to a T.
Fencer, the movie wasn't cheap. It cost around $180 million US to make. Granted I've seen money spent more wisely on a movie but it's still far from cheap.

I watched The King's Speech today with my family. (I believe the un-censored one.)

I used to stammer when I was younger, so I could relate just a leetle bit, but thank God it did not last as long as it did for King George VI. (and I'm a lefty who had to learn right handed in the first school I attended when I was 3, as well. )

I'll just say what I didn't like about it, which is only one or two points--
The profanity. I understand they did it to get out his anger, I just wish that the worst words were taken out or limited, because it sounded unpleasant. That's it.

Myrtle Logue was so cute. And Elizabeth and Margaret!! Adorable!

I. LOVE. THE SOUNDTRACK. The piano is too beautiful, it makes me want to sob helplessly. And the violins and everything. I have new calm, melancholy music to listen to!!

The movie was very, very moving. It showed the journey of a hurt person who feared speaking because of a speech impediment. Unlikely friendship between two great characters whose actors did them wonderful justice. I really enjoyed the movie, enjoyed in the sense it was interesting and inspiring.

Everything about the movie pieced together and worked well, the music, cinematography, screenwriting. It was all very lovely. London is so beautiful.

Queen Elizabeth's supportive role shined. Her character was one of my favourites. (Hers and Lionel Logue's were probably my favourite.)

The jokes were amusing, too. So, yes, I liked the movie. (And basically, what I disliked about it was the overdone profanity.)

I watched The Adjustment Bureau last night. I've wanted to see it since it came out, mostly because I really like Matt Damon. Anyway, it was a pretty good movie. I thought it had an interesting plot line. And it definetly raised some questions and made me think about some different aspects of free will. I'm a Christian so I believe that God knows everything yet somehow, at the same time, we have free will and it's something I'll probably never completely understand. However, this movie definetly made me think about it a little more.

The one thing I didn't like was I think it had a

Being a dancer, I loved the scenes with Emily Blunt's character's (can't remember her name) dancing. It gave me new ideas for moves for my own dancing.

All-in-all, an enjoyable movie.

I finally got my hands on a copy of "Son Of Rambow" (starring Will Poulter) at a used bookstore that also sells used DVDs
and I got a copy of "The Water Horse" at the same place I love those movies!

O...The Water Horse was so good, I'm a sucker for old English/Irish myths and legends. I gotta re-watch that soon...

I disliked Son of Rambow, but I love The Water Horse

I've only watched The Water Horse once, but I did like it a lot. It was very sweet and fun, but with enough action to interest older kids.

My parents have The Illusionist on NetFlix but I am waiting for them to actually see it. We've been busy on evenings and they need to be alert to watch this one. I was really impressed with this movie. It's about an illusionists who falls in love with a noble girl who is betrothed to the crown prince. But the crown prince is a pretty bad guy and the confict between the two arouses the attention of a detective who is also fascinated with the illusionist. The story is deep and there is a twist at the end that will just amaze you. Edward Norton and Jessica Beil star.

Fencer, how does The Illusionist compare to The Prestige? I've only seen the latter. The two movies were released close together, weren't they?

Is the other way for me. I've only seen the former. What I've heard from those who have seen both is that The Illusionist is better in terms of story and acting. I've not seen anything poor from Christian Bale but what I've heard is that The Prestige is more about show rather than story. I can't remember much else about it. The Illusionist though is really good and worth seeing.

Haha, okay. Didn't realise that. It's true that The Prestige doesn't have much of a story, but it's hardly thin. The focus is on the characters. Still, I'm surprised the acting is considered stronger in The Illusionist. I mean The Prestige has Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Rebecca Hall, David Bowie - these are very strong actors/actresses and those are just the well-known ones. I'll have to find the movie and compare them for myself. Thanks

I've seen both The Prestige and The Illusionist and really enjoy them both!
I think they are both well acted and each have good stories.

I agree that The Prestige has a simpler story, but I still feel it is strong in what story it has.
The Illusionist is a stronger story, maybe because it has a love story involved that it feels deeper.
I think both had equally surprising endings!
The Prestige is darker then the Illusionist. The Illusionist reminds me more of a story you would read, and The Prestige reminds me more like a, based on an event story. I'm not sure that makes since. But I would Defintley recommend both of the movies.

I loved both The Illusionist and The Prestige. The first is kind of lighter and ... happier, I guess, than the latter. Certainly not as complicated a plot as The Prestige. I don't think I could pick one over the other in terms of acting; both casts were very strong.

I found the Prestige to be a giant, disjointed, scratch your head until your scalp falls off kind of film, and way too dark for my taste. It may have a strong cast, but when a film sets out with the intent to "outsmart" its audience, it bothers me, especially when it takes several viewings to figure out what the whole convoluted thing was trying to say. No likeable characters, lots of flashbacks, lots of flashbacks within flashbacks (I am not kidding), and an unrecognizable David Bowie as Nikola Tesla (which was actually pretty cool). A movie that were I to watch again I'd love to see in Blu-Ray just for the effects flying off of Tesla's machine, but just not my cup of tea by and large.

I watched The Illusionist a few months back. It was a very good movie. As I've mentioned, endings are usually what make or break a movie for me. That one had an unexpected ending and it was different from other movies I'd seen. I quite liked it.
