And the extended Fellowship of the Ring. “I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. ‘Don’t you lose him, Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.”

One of my favorite movie quotes of all time. I took my Lord of the Rings nickname, Edwise, in honor of Mr. Gamgee.

I haven’t rewatched those movies in a while, though. Soon, I hope.
 
Just saw the latest James Bond Movie, was a typical 007. Movie,
I think the mission impossible movie was better
 
Just saw Bridge of Spies. Thought it was well done. Don’t expect a fast-paced adventure spy movie. It starts slow, but I thought it was appropriately paced throughout.

This is the fourth movie Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have done together.

Box office wise, it’s struggling to catch up to The Terminal, which at $77 million domestic is the previous low water mark for Hanks/Spielberg. A shame, because I think Bridge of Spies is a much better film. The Terminal is probably my least favorite Spielberg movie.

From the world of movie remakes: *The Manchurian Candidate
*
Which did you prefer, the original 1962 version with Frank Sinatra or the 2004 remake with Denzel Washington?
And, why did you prefer that version?
 
Universal’s 1931 Dracula – both the Lugosi version and the Spanish language version.
 
The Nativity Story

The movie would have worked better as a whole if it weren’t for the bland depiction of Mary, but Saint Joseph (the actor of whom, Oscar Issac, happens to be in The Force Awakens) is fantastic.
 
Been re-watching the Home Alone films recently. Definitely my favorite at Christmas time. I haven’t seen Star Wars VII yet, I’ve been watching the first six again on DVD first to remind myself.
