K Borowski Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Merry Christmas Everybody! Whether you shoot digital, film, or VHS-C, all the best to you and yours! To keep with the gist of cinematography, what movies are you going to see? I hear that Tom Cruise is terrible in "Valkyrie." Watching any classics? Just got through watching "It's a Wonderful Life" with my family. Not only is it a wonderful life, but also a wonderful movie. Have to say, though, that there's an irony that undertones the whole movie, as Jimmy Stewart & "Uncle Billy" are running a home-loan building that is the '30s equivalent of a sub-prime lender :blink: "A Christmas Carol" with Alistair Sims is another excellent holiday film. I don't think any of the other versions, even the one with Kurt Douglas, were quite as good as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Anderson Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Just watched Christmas Vacation and The King of Kong, Fistful of Quarters. Chevy was a comedic genius when he was on the nose candy, what's your favorite quote? Mine is: "Hey Griswold, where you going to put a tree that big? "Bend over and I'll show ya!" "you got a lot of nerve talkin to me like that Griswold!" Seth Gordon made an amazing film with KOK, but I worked on his latest feature, Four Christmases and it came out pretty terrible, what happened? Holiday movies with the family is always fun.

Premium Member Hunter Hampton Posted December 25, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 25, 2008 Merry Christmas to all! As far as films go, I am taking notes on Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice as I type- not really a Christmas movie but certainly cinematically beautiful. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and finds enough joy to last another year! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Dan Goulder Posted December 25, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 25, 2008 I hear that Tom Cruise is terrible in "Valkyrie." He's supposed to be. He plays a Nazi, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Merry christmas. I hear that Tom Cruise is terrible in "Valkyrie." I hate cliche liberal hollywood egos. It's Revolutionary Road I'll be seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks, that is the only movie I have wanted to see all year. Well I'm going to see it no matter what the critics say ;) R, No problem Richard. After further review, found out that the review of the movie I'd initially read was by someone that blindly hates all Tom Cruise movies. So I went to see it myself. Overall, eh. . . I'd give it a B- or a C. Dee, New Year's Resolution, lay off the puns. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
