Saw Second Hand Lions a week or so ago, and thought it was a fantastic movie. It has Robert Duvall and Michael Cain in it. A good family movie with a good story line.
Plus, if any of you want to know what Ranger Terry Welshan acts like, sounds like, and even kind of looks like, you can see it in Cain's character. I laughed my ass off for 90 solid minutes.
Here's a trialer for it:

Two thumbs up.

I think so.ANGRYCivilian wrote:AP,
So that was a good movie? I've passed it several times at Block Buster; wasn't sure I wanted to see it. I'll give it a try.
I don't watch alot of movies and with most of them, I usually end up thinking- "Great, now there is two hours that I cannot get back"
This was not the case here and I definately enjoyed it.

I rented White Noise last night. Michael Keaton is weird guy, and was pretty good in White Noise. The fatass from Beatle Juice is also in the movie. It's one of those movies that isn't filled with special effects, but is still creepy and scarry. When it was over, I had to turn some lights on and Watch Everybody Loves Ramond for a little while.
Still havn't seen Assault on Precinct 13; it's gone every time it make it to Block Buster.

Saw it last night with the family. It sucked like the last two (at least there's only a brief glimpse of jar-jar). The only redeeming factor in the last three movies has been Liam Neeson, Ewen MacGregor, and of course Natalie Portman. Though we do get to see more of Yoda's midget, acrobatic, butt-kicking.

I saw this movie last summer with the kids. When I met the Rangers Bell x2 this past January, this movie was at the forefront of my mind the entire time

Awesome flick.

I figured it sucked, stupid fuckers sittin outside all damn night waiting to get screwed again by Lucas. You'd think he would make the last one half way decent, I was hopin that the last one would at least be better than the last previous two that came out.Everett Ruess wrote:Saw it last night with the family.

Guess that depends. As you can tell I'm not a fan of the last three, but the special effects are (of course) fantastic, so the big screen really brings that out. Plus I get to gaze into Natalie's eyes on a bigger than life screen...
If you've been going to the theatre for the others, go for this one too. If you waited for the DVD for the others, there's nothing new in this one that would warrant going to the theatre. So did that answer your question without really saying anything? I'm thinking of going into politics.

I saw it and liked it. Its just a movie, go there expecting to be entertained and not looking for things to not like about it.
Its very dark, Lucas can't write dialogue, and I'll probably see it again.
If you have seen the animated "Clone Wars" episodes by the same guy that does Samurai Jack, EP III starts exactly where the 2nd season of "Clone Wars" ends.

I stopped watching cartoons when I learned how to masturbate.
