sick movie iv seane it

[ClasenMovies]

Scary and stupid dream to have. But like always, nice voice emm...

[scottyboy292]

Man on Wire! That movie looks insane and inspirational and I haven't seen it but I really want to. Its the kind of movie I think my dad would really enjoy too.

Danny The Dog is pretty good, I really liked Morgan Freeman in it. To be honest I like Morgan Freeman in whatever he's in, he's got a presence about him. In fact if he'd been in Epic Movie I would have probably liked him in that too :D

Did you think that Danny the dog was a bit like Oliver Twist?

[DVDeMm]

Now you mention it...! lol

I have seen enough films this year, but Man on Wire still stands out as the best of all and one of the best documentaries I've ever witnessed. The director did a smart job by not bringing up the impact of 9/11, because even without it, we are reminded of that horrific event. This isn't a dark film though. It's a joyous celebration of human triumph and of dreams we-dare-to-dream. What Philippe Petit did that day is both inspiring and daring, and this film is no exception. Good review!

[DVDeMm]

I totally agree with everything you said. I haven't seen enough films this year to be honest but I'm sure this will remain one of the best when I do.

[boomstickplease]

Man on Wire is something I've been wanting to see. I watched the trailer and was just stunned. It was a big swell of emotion; like you guys said below, it motivated me! Sadly, that motivation went to waste, since I'm a lazy, procrastinating fraidy-cat. :p

[CityscapeReviews]

Amazing! I'm so glad you reviewed Man on Wire. The trailer for this film is so incredibly powerful so I can only imagine what the film must be like. I had this in my upcoming films a few weeks back and I'm just so excited about seeing it. Great review Emma!

[Crisrav1138]

I want to see Man on Wire so bad! The whole concept of this mans 'scheme' is incredible...I'm anxious to see it! Great reviews!

[DVDeMm]

Doesn't it make you want to do a 'scheme' too? When you put life into perspective like this it makes you want to do something EPIC. Unfortunately I'd vomit and tumble to my death before I've even got onto the rope so it won't be wire walking...

[Crisrav1138]

lmao, I wouldn't make it to the top of the building, heights and me don't mix. It DOES make me want to do something EPIC though!

[MADPUPPETDEATH]

LOL! Coming from the women who once told me shes no stranger to danger!!! :P

[DVDeMm]

Damn it! You found out I'm not as hardcore as I like to think I am! I'm not too scared of heights but my sense of balance is another matter completly!

Having said that, I kick ass at tight rope walking on the Wii!!

[MADPUPPETDEATH]

Hmm, I'll let this lack of hardcoreness slide. I have my moments as well, in my old age my core of hardness has dropped drastically. I miss it.

NICE!!

[DVDeMm]

Don't like, you're so hardcore!

[MADPUPPETDEATH]

More reel pimpage for my page. :P

Man on a Wire i've really wanted to see. Looks awesome.

[DVDeMm]

You are the best and you know it haha!

[experimentalguy]

Oh, I was talking about Man On Wire, btw. Unleashed / Danny The Dog has always fascinated me too.

[experimentalguy]

U made what seemed uninteresting to me, now an essential watch - good review Emma.

[DVDeMm]

Lol well I hope it lives up to it then! (I assume you're talking about Man on Wire) I had wanted to see this since I read a review about it. I love documentaries and wire walking really high is kind of cool.

[CenobiteVictim]

Ah I really wanted to see this, did you buy it?

[theReelDVDWatchers]

Not yet lol ;)

Its certainly on the 'to buy' list though.

[CenobiteVictim]

cool, sorry if you didn't know what I mean, but I meant Man on Wire. Danny the Dog is a good flick with a really great concept. I think the director did the Incredible Hulk and he's doing a Clash of the Titans remake.
