My DD saw it and said she cried through half of it. There was just one part that upset her a lot.

I wouldn't watch it myself.

Try this post the first one was not good ----- --- I am wanting to buy a new movie camera so as to take video of my garden and as well as other things, Can anyone point me in the right direction as I know little about movie or video or the movie thingies . I have only used still pic, my digital camera is a "canon powershot 2 " with a two gigabite SD card.

I know some cameras are not real good in poor light situations , some cameras are not very good for long movies as the bateries go flat too quickly , some have small zoom capabilities some may not be good for downloading to a computer etc etc That is about all I know about these movie cameras ........ help garden_worm garden_worm ...... pdok@hdc.net.au

Good Books/Bad Movies
Q

They are often totally different, which I think is sometimes necessary, to change what is an interior experience to a moving one. Sometimes the essence of the book is retained very well. But sometimes not and sometimes the movie becomes something totally different. One example of a fail, IMHO, was "The Orchid Thief" which was a movie about trying to turn a book into a movie. I hated the distortion by the movie of what that book was about. I hope Susan Orleans got a hefty check for that one! My dislike for the movie, "And Then She Found Me" caused me to get and read the book by Elinor Lipman. Wowza, not even in the ballpark with the plot of the movie vs the book. However, I didn't much care for the book either. My next attempt will be "Republic of Love" which I sort of liked as a movie but it was sorta weird so I'm gonna try the book by Carol Shields. Two books that I love both the movie and the book are "Dr. Zhivago" which benefits some from the 3D fleshing out of the story, and for me, "The Great Gatsby." The one with Robert Redford, not the newer one. Both books are a totally different experience from the movie, but it is cool to have both the exterior setting and real people living out the experiences in front of you, and then also the experience of their interior lives that you get from the book. In that vein, I liked the movie "Cold Mountain" better than the book. The book got a little too much for me and I didn't have much sympathy for the characters but I did in the movie. Oh and I adore both the book "Auntie Mame" and the movie with Rosalind Russell, even though they are quite different. As a side note, when I was a kid, I ended up enjoying Dr. Doolittle and Mary Poppins as books way better than movies, but the movies did get me into the books. And both Willy Wonka movies were kind of let downs, but the Tim Burton one was especially bad IMHO.

Why don't they make movies I want to see? What's your dream movie?

It seems to me that Hollywood only makes three movies these days: The movie about running real fast and engaging in physically impossible acrobatics while things blow up all around. The fart joke movie. The dysfunctional relationships movie, which has two variants: pseudo-inspirational and frankly depressing. Of course, these can be combined, as for instance, in the upcoming remake of Murder on the Orient Express which seems to combine Hercule Poirot, superhero, with the most dreary-looking trainload of miserable people you ever saw. So I just don't go. The suggestion to go to an art house is clearly made by people who live in very major metro areas. I live just north of a major metro area, but still about 90% of the movies I might possibly wish to see do not play within 150 miles of where I live. I see about one movie a year in the theater. Unfortunately, I do keep up with what's current when visiting my brother who has every known streaming service. I'm astounded at how fatiguing it is to try to be entertained.

Lauren and I are wanting to see Thor. She can't get her work schedule, though, from her boss. She's not answering e-mails and she never gave her a schedule. She's been calling HR all day. I also want to see Murder on the Orient Express, even with the bad reviews. Also looking forward to the new Star Wars movie and a few others I can't seem to remember at the moment.

I went to it not knowing what it was about. It nearly scared the water out of me!

It was good, but disturbing. If that type of movie bothers you - skip it. It was scary, graphic, and intense.

My DD went with a friend (12 yrs. old). I had no idea what the movie was about- thought it was about a man as the only survivor after the end of the world.... well, it wasn't quite that, and she had a heck of a time sleeping that night. Her friend was fine but not my DD!

I found it very disturbing, but I also really liked it.

Lydia, I think I know the scene you're describing. It made me cry and cry, too.

I think this story has had several different movie reincarnations. Now I want to see all the versions of it.

I thought it was "good" (Will Smith is a great actor; special effects were awesome) but for creepiness/sci-fi horror, "Omega Man" with Charlton Heston was a better version. No maudlin dog hero, just the creepy guy calling, "Neville, Neville. . . ."

Bad, bad, bad movie. It had so much promise and potential and the first 30 minutes were fascinating. The rest was truly awful. It was graphic, gross, depressing and violent. And had some plot holes, too.

I'm a bit embarassed to say that I fell asleep! I love Will Smith, which is why I went to see it. I just thought it was strange. I'm not a sci-fi fan, so perhaps I'm not a good one to review it. No offense intended to those who liked it.

I was treated for a free movie.

As someone already mentioned, this was a remake of "Omega Man". I didn't think that the story was told as well as the title depicted it. The cinematography wasn't as good as of the "Omega Man". The special effects were clearly digitized and not so believable. It was boring at times, maybe that's why Suzieque fell asleep! LOL...

Although, it was a free movie for me, it was a big disappointment.
