Posted by Tony Hamilton on March 14, 2008 at 5:56pm

I watch a lot of movies and thought of getting other's feedback. Please feel free to add titles and/or comments. How about we rate the movies out of 5... with 5 being excellent.

That & Highlander are the only movies I'd give 5 stars to.; ▶ Reply to This

Hallmark Classic that has been around sometime now. It's about the formation of AA. James Wood plays Bill W. and James Gardiner plays Dr. Bob S. James Wood won an Academy Award for his part.

Very informative and the movie took 5 years to make. A must watch especially to those in recovery.; ▶ Reply to This

What? I was alone on campus with a group of ladies and nothing to do. They're furry. They sing. Family values and a music-centered plot? I'd check it out.; ▶ Reply to This

Story about a bunch of killers from all kinds of walks who get a letter to meet in a house in China. I found it difficult to keep watching it due to the profanity and story.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, not a real main stream popular movie but Article 99 was great too with an amazing cast.
Keifer Sutherland, Forrest Whitaker, Ray Liota, Lea Thompson, John C. Mcginley, John Mahoney, Kathy Baker etc.; ▶ Reply to This

Another Stallone pic with a lot of graphic violence. No torturing this time... guess he's getting too old. Predictable movie that reminded me of Apocalpse Now somewhat... gun boat, Burma.; ▶ Reply to This

Watched it with my wife and she liked it. Donald Sutherland was terrible... so was the movie in my opinion.; ▶ Reply to This

Story of two fathers who's lives are intertwined, when the father kills the son of the other in a hit-and-run accident.; ▶ Reply to This

Documentary about the rapid decline of the shark population. I enjoyed it as oceanography has and is of interest. Good to see Paul Watson of Greenpeace in it, and his dealings with a couple of countries' corrupt system favouring the slaughter of sharks for its prized fins.; ▶ Reply to This
