It's also (when it came out) one of the only films I can remember that everyone in my extended family liked...no matter age nor where where they fall on the political spectrum.

Pretty well done for a teenager movie. An 8.8.

Started Polar Express made it half way the watched National Lampoon's Christmas. Great movie that is a yearly tradition although the part up in the attic where he is watching an old video is skipped every time.

I saw it first run in a theater, and this is probably the second (or maybe third) time I've seen it since.

This is the first time I've seen it from the very beginning though. Each other time I missed the opening credits (the trip to the convenience store), seeing it (the other times) starting with the entry into the convenience store.
Great movie, a lot of good humor, and witty, banter .

10 Things I Hate About You (Amazon Prime) - a 'modernized' teen version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew set in late 1990s Tacoma, WA.

Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, Larry Miller, David Leisure, Allison Janney (pre West Wing), David Krumholtz (pre NUMB3RS), Gabrielle Union (pre Bring It On).

I'd seen it a couple of times before, but not in many years.

Just finished The Burial (Amazon Prime). Enjoyed every minute of it. It's after a true story...

In a theater? The Holdovers with Paul Giamatti. It took me a while to get over commercials taking 14 minutes past the stated start time, NOT including the previews. (If that's the new typical, I'm either not going to go to movies or will start arriving 14 minutes after the "start.")

Not bad, with good performances.

The Poker House. 4-stars, easy.

2008. Jennifer Lawrence, Selma Blair, Chloe Grace Moretz.

I give it 4 stars. Just a brutal drama. So well done. This movie could have been so much more gritty and graphic, and I am thankful it wasn't. It was hard enough to watch as is. REALLY well done. I am afraid if they made it today, they would be tempted toward more scenes of graphic violence. Like I said, the movie could have been so much worse. It is not graphic at all given the scenario.

I will never watch it again, but it was very good and incredibly well done.

The only thing I disliked was showing a child gratuitously in her underwear. It just felt like child porn and I think the movie could have done without it but looking back, I mean, it was just a gritty movie. It "fits". Maybe it is not as gratuitous as it seemed initially?
