Comment by Dodie on March 20, 2013 at 7:44pm: We rented a really good movie last weekend called "The Intouchables". REALLY loved it. It's a French movie so it was all subtitles. Normally, I avoid movies with subtitles, but it was quite entertaining...caught myself laughing aloud several times. It is based on a true story about a French multimillionaire who is a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident and the young man from the "streets" that he hires to care for him. Very, very good.

Comment by carol on March 20, 2013 at 12:17pm: I LOVE Dowton Abby and the Midwife. Can't wait for season 2 of the Midwife...it starts on the 31st I thought I saw.

Comment by carols_kitchen on March 18, 2013 at 3:24pm: Good to see the discussion on "was movies." Believe it or not, one request from our troops is for war movies when we ship them DVDs through Molly's Adopt a Sailor here on N4M. You wouldn't think so, but they still want to watch them.

Comment by carol on March 17, 2013 at 9:15pm: Did Zero Dark Thirty follow the facts? I haven't seen it, but usually I'd rather watch it in the privacy of my home.

Comment by Dodie on March 17, 2013 at 9:49am: LadyHamilton, LainerD didn't say she couldn't follow the story line, but was "put off" by the torture scene in the movie. I haven't seen the movie and have no intention of doing so, but the movie doesn't hold any appeal to me. Pollitical views and personal moral convictions are probably best left to a different forum.

Comment by Dodie on March 9, 2013 at 7:02pm: If you haven't seen "Argo" yet, it's available now on DVD. We rented it last weekend...Excellent film. Ben Affleck did a great job with directing and starring in the film. Since it is based upon a true story, that makes it even better in my mind's eye.

Comment by LainerD on March 9, 2013 at 6:39pm: We saw "Zero Dark Thirty" with another couple in January. I haven't walked out of a movie in a long time, but my friend and I walked out of this one. Right at the beginning is a torture scene. Even though I hid my eyes like a little kid, even the sound upset me so much I just couldn't follow the story after that. Bleeah! I advise you to avoid this movie. PS The theater let us switch to Les Miserables. Still not exactly cheerful, but still a big improvement! PPS Our husbands stayed in "Zero Dark Thirty," the brutes!!

Comment by carol on September 26, 2012 at 12:57pm: My sister and I went to see Hope Springs, with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. We really liked it. The Odd Life...was our second choice.
