OT: Went to see Hildago tonight.
Just got back and I would have to say that I really enjoyed the movie.
I would give a good thumbs up to go see. It is a DVD buy later on for sure. Anybody else get chance to go and see this one yet? 4 out of 5 stars for me.

It's not based on a true story...but that's cool that it was entertaining.
(Not that you said that, just tired of hearing it on the ads.)

"based on a true story" leaves an awful lot of latitude...

I think you should see The Passion of the Christ instead. The star is that one guy that was in that one movie with JLo

Funny, a friend of mine who saw 'Hidalgo' said it was awful. But she is a horse person and saw all the mistakes (such as the wrong type of horses for a desert race, etc.).

lol. I saw the commerical and was turned off, but the movie really is a good comedy and it does keep fairly close to the spirit of the TV show. The commercials make it look alot more like a braindead comedy than it is. |

For several years now, I have thought that the most unwatchable and embarrassing actor to watch was Adam Sandler (with David Spade and Chris Farley as runner ups). But now there is someone even worse as the most unwatchable actor and that is Ben Stiller. Imo.

I would rather watch a marathon of movies with the guys you list than sit through a preview for a movie with Chris Kattan or Tom Green.

Okay, I'll remove Tom Green from my statement. Hopefully Chris Kattan never makes another movie but, if you can have a guy that has been dead for over six years, I can keep him on my list.

The reason I asked about Starsky & Hutch was the local Denver critic gave it a great review. He said the Adds make it look terrible untill you see it and realize that it is a satire of the original show and not trying to be like the original show which was in fact a Drama, not a comedy.
I wonder how many people that were giving it bad reviews actually saw the show? Seems a great many of people out there give reviews of movies and books before they ever see the show or read the book. Think The Passion a couple of weeks ago....Every body had a comment on that movie and they all started with "I haven't seen it, BUT"

 I'm just sick of Stiller for some reason and have never been a Wilson fan so it's an easy cross off...

What is the deal with satirizing all these old TV shows? Why not just do a modern remake and leave it at that? I wouldn't mind seeing a good buddy movie crime drama, but for comedy I'd rather see "Rush Hour" than Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson (Owen works much better with Jackie Chan )

Stiller keeps playing the same character and it's getting annoying and repetitive.
Maybe Fox will bring back Family Guy AND Ben Stiller's sketch show. He was funny back then, before he starred in that Farverevervre movie.

While it is satire it doesn't try and hit you over the head. It could easily stand on it's own as normal cop buddy movie without the starsky and hutch references, but everything it takes from the tv show it takes dead on. As a side note, Snoop Dog is so great as huggy bear. Maybe it's that he has some acting under his belt or that he's off the weed but he was real good. |

It really is amazing how well Chan worked with both Chris Tucker (Rush Hour) and Owen Wilson (Shanghai Noon). Sadly, in both cases the sequels really couldn't come all that close to measuring up to the very well done originals.

Wilson and Stiller were both great in 'The Royal Tenenbaums'

Since we are on movies, this is way off topic but did anyone see Cold Creek Manor?
I've had to revise my worst movies ever list as a result of this...

agreed. While I know a ton of people who personally hated the movies, both Rushmore and The Royal Tennenbaums are among my top 10 all-time favorite films. For me, Wes Anderson is currently the director/writer that always has me most jazzed for his next project (he supplanted P.T. Anderson a few years ago). I can't wait for the The Life Aquatic, although it sounds like production hasn't exactly been smooth.

I think Sandler's great. He's probably my cinematic guilty pleasure. I Just saw 50 First Dates with my girlfriend this Friday, and we both really enjoyed it. Some quality laughs, a pretty interesting story, and a pretty good supporting cast (although I could have done without Sean Astin). The only drawback was IMHO, a slightly creepy ending.

I definitely liked it, but to me the pacing and overall direction (not in a technical sense, but in a "arc of the story" sense) just felt off to me. I saw it last of all Anderons' stuff... so I think I was likely expecting too much.

"...Starsky & Hutch" won't be the last teaming of Stiller and Wilson, Stiller told the AP. Among the possibilities: Wilson reprising his "Meet the Parents" role in "Meet the Fockers," a sequel that begins shooting in April.
Won't all these movies together get tiresome? If not for the pair, then for the public? Stiller doesn't think so. "I don't think we have to worry about that, because not enough people come to our movies to get burned out on us," Stiller told the AP. "We sort of look at ourselves as like Hope and Crosby without the success." "Without the huge following," Wilson added. "Martin and Lewis without the, you know."

My wife and I liked this movie a lot, too. At the only thing i can realy say about the ending is that i guess it was pretty nice that they didn't go for the "obvious" ending. If you have seen the movie you know what i mean. Otherwise I guess "creepy" isn't tht far off of a description for the end.

I found the ending to be almost sad. The movie was cute, but sad in a way as well...

Ugh... I watched "Bottle Rocket" once because someone recommended it to me. I have since resolved to never take movie recommendations from people who smoke large quantities of weed.

I feel the need to interrupt the Stiller bashing here to say that Zoolander is among my favorite "fun" movies of the last several years.
Some great lines in that one. |
