Movie Thread

Ginsue, maybe you should switch up from sci-fi to fantasy and read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It's basically regurgitated Ayn Rand, but with some wizards. Or even Harry Potter for that matter, if you are interested in reading stories where you can draw parallels to how you currently perceive the world economy.

After finishing Atlas Shrugged in January, I think I need to take a 1 year hiatus on books of that nature (it was a great read, but it emotionally exhausted me).


As far as movies - I haven't seen Shutter Island but it intrigues me. It comes off as a combo mystery/psychological thriller. The previews/commercials implied something of the finish to me and I'm curious enough to see if I'm right to actually go watch it.

Regarding "LDiC", I really dislike the guy but I have to admit that, like Jake, I can usually enjoy the movies that he is in.

Well, the SoT series doesn't really get very Ayn Randy until about 5 or 6.

so shutter island is good? im thinking about watchin it when it comes out to rent

Thanks Marlin. Probably doesn't need to be a sticky, but doesn't hurt.

Maybe each person who feels like it should make their "Must Watch" list in their first post of this thread. If everyone did the same format, then it'd be easy to browse the lists. Only if people feel like it though.

I watched Schindler's List the other day. It made me upset. Not upset like bawling, or upset like I was when I remembered how much I paid to see Avatar, the other kind of upset.

Really? I haven't heard anything good about this Robin Hood yet. Although, I get my movie reviews from snobby NPR movie critiques. Howie Moshivitz or whatever his name is.
