Movie Review, The Shell Seekers

[Cookie]

I just finished watching a movie on Hallmark, The Shell Seekers, and really recommend others to watch it. After it was over, I found myself running into my older son in the kitchen, and asking him, " do you think, I have been a good mother?" He looked surprised and starting laughing, but once he saw I was serious he said, " yes, the best " and asked me why I was asking that, I went on telling him, I was watching this movie and I am sure he thought... oh, that explains all, lol.

Sorry you lost me at Hallmark.

Saddest movie i seen in a long time was "Up" the cartoon.

Did I lose you because you don't get that station? Hallmark is a Tv station, where they play pretty good movies most of the time. Either classics or grammy winners or even, the mini-series. This movie, The Shell Seekers, was really good, not only for the acting but for the script. I didn't find it sad, I read where the book is supposed to be, but the movie was engrossing. I haven't seen UP, I watched the trail and it looks good, I would watch that, it reminds me of this one movie, which I can't think of the name, but it was cartoon characters, about life on a farm and the chickens talked. And, there was a mean farm lady and all the chickens were afraid of her. Are you familiar with this movie?

I might stop at Redbox and see what they got for tonite. Any recommendations?
I remember when movies would cost an arm & an leg to rent.

Recommendations:
Slumdog Millionaire - I had this movie in my possession for 3 weeks, I shouldn't have waited.
Seven Pounds

For sci-fi types:
Push - was way better than I thought it was going to be

I know what Hallmark is, i was kidding because they are usually "Sappy" movies.

"UP" is a little sad at the begining but is a really good movie, it's not on DVD until November.
I have... let's say a advanced copy (cough, cough).
I would lend you my copy, but it's a little far to get it to you.

I haven't seen Slumdog but would like to
Seven pounds i thought was very long and slow.
Push i tought would be a lot better than it was, but i would expecting a lot more going in and when you do that your usually disapointed.
If you go in not expecting much it turns out usually better.

Yes, Seven Pounds was a bit slow but I thought it was powerful. My wife completely broke down in that movie.

You guys are all wrong. The best recent movie has to be Gran Torino. By far.

[Peanut9199]

I forgot about that one and yes that was really good, i loved the old lady next door.

The daughter was also very good and i never seen her before that movie "Ahney Her" great performance for a first time.

I'll second that. That movie will probably go down as Clint's last great one as somewhat of a badass. I'm also biased, a Ford was a supporting character!

I can't remember does Ford stand for:

Found-On-Road-Dead

Fix-Or-Repair-Daily

or

Fast-Only-Rolling-Downhill

IMHO it's better than:
Drips Oil Drops Grease Everywhere
or
Can Hear Every Valve Rattle On Long Extended Trips

Ford stands for, Fix or repair daily. We owned a ford once. Only once, never again. I would had gleefully pushed it over a hillside. So, to get even, what I did was when the stock took a nose dive, into pennystock value, I bought a whole bunch of it. I am hoping it will go up and then, I can get back all the money I lost on that miserable little ford car.

I am a sap for sappy movies Peter. But, my favorite are comedies. I am going to watch 7 pounds. If it is too sappy, I will turn it off. That is me. I don't even watch the news, I read the news from the net, that way I can pick or choose what I want to hear about.

7 Pounds is not sappy but it is depressing.
