We are great movie lovers here, although when I review (which is frequently) I mostly review books, for Amazon. <br />We love music, as well! <br />Nice to meet you and to get to be your 100th follower is so COOL! :) I am honored!<br /><br />jeanJean Katherine Baldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497992193034414806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-81337749305960095972012-03-10T15:29:08.483-05:002012-03-10T15:29:08.483-05:00Well, since I agree with your other five star rati...Well, since I agree with your other five star ratings, I may have to give Hugo a watch!

And my all time favorites continue to be those old black and whites- especially the mysteries. They just seem more intense/suspenseful in black and white...maybe because they leave something to the imagination?Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-12382284829357508192012-03-07T13:19:10.133-05:002012-03-07T13:19:10.133-05:00I really liked Hugo, but I have yet to see The Art...I really liked Hugo, but I have yet to see The Artist.<br /><br />www.modernworld4.blogspot.comGina Gaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032273127593718883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-50386999380292874532012-03-07T09:39:59.154-05:002012-03-07T09:39:59.154-05:00Hugo was a great flick.

When our daughter was younger, they freaked her out too much and rare was the opportunity for my wife and me to go on our own. All of that has changed over the past few months. We've seen five films in the theater in the past year. It's been nearly a decade since the last time we could say that.<br /><br />And SFS, since you bring it up, I think the 3-D craze will pass just as it did the last time.

Whenever anyone starts discussing recent movies, (and by recent, I mean anything that hasn't made it to TV yet) I'm kinda out of the loop. It's probably been twenty years since my hubby and I went to the movies. Years ago, it was nothing to sit through a double feature, newsreel, coming attractions, and cartoon, (sometimes, TWICE, just to take advantage of the air conditioning) but nowadays, we get too antsy to sit still through an entire movie. Still, you make "Hugo" sound intriguing. Ditto the whole 3-D craze. (I have a feeling the technology has improved considerably since I last saw one of those movies!)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-63134704622261375942012-03-05T11:45:23.638-05:002012-03-05T11:45:23.638-05:00Like I said, 20 years from now, justice will be se...Like I said, 20 years from now, justice will be served. The novelty of "The Artist" will wear off by then (just as it did for "Dances with Wolves") and "Hugo" will still be outstanding. Admittedly, I argue this point without actually having seen "The Artist" but history tends to be kind to Scorsese's films.<br /><br />Foam bricks for throwing at televisions - now, there's a marketing opportunity!
