Steven Spielberg, one of the most influential personalities in film, was born on this day in 1946. Which one of the many films he directed do you call your favorite?

Schindler's List, The Color Purple, and Amistad

The Saturday Six

1. What’s the last movie you watched in the theater?

Appaloosa with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen.  Good movie!  :)

2. How much is absolutely too much to pay for seeing a movie in a theater at night?

8 bucks is too much.  I go to matinées because they are cheaper.

3. Other than popcorn and a drink, what concession item are you most likely to buy in a movie theater?

I don't buy concession items at all.

4. Take the quiz: In What Genre Should You Be A Movie Star?

Well dang.  I can't take the quiz because the links are all messed up on that site today.  I'm guessing it would tell me to be in some Period Drama though. lol

5. What was the last movie you watched at home?

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.  Good movie.  :D

6. Would you have paid to watch this film in a movie theater when it originally came out?

Nope.  I tend to avoid movies in the theater that have Brad Pitt in them.  I usually really, really dislike his movies.  This one was good though.  He was sufficiently not Brad Pittish.  lol

Show us eight of something.

Eight movies I'm looking forward to:

The Road

Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee

Based on Cormac McCarthy's book, "The Road".  Looks amazing so far...the pictures are extraordinary.  Can't wait for this movie!

Released November 26, 2008

Good

Viggo Mortensen and Jason Isaacs

Based on the C.P. Taylor play "Good".  Looks amazing as well.  It looks to be a bit more art house than mainstream...with the dream sequence musical numbers.  It looks gorgeous...the trailer is very good.

Released Fall 2008

 

Appaloosa

Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris

Based on Robert B. Parker's book, "Appaloosa".  I'm not a huge fan of westerns..but the trailer for this looks pretty good.  :D  I also love Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris...so that's reason enough for me to see it.  :)

Released Fall 2008

Quantum of Solace

Daniel Craig

Everyone knows Bond right? It's based on the books by Ian Fleming.  My father is a HUGE Bond fan. (He'll take off work to see the new Bond movies).  I was raised watching Bond, and I have to say, I think Daniel Craig kicks rear end as Bond.  He might just be my favorite Bond...wait..yes...yes, he is.  :)

Released November 7, 2008

The Hobbit

Guillermo del Toro will be directing.  Mostly likely, we will see many of the same actors back on board.  Casting hasn't been done yet, so we have no idea who will play Bilbo and other main characters...but nonetheless, I'm very excited about this movie! :)

Released 2011

Terminator: Salvation

Christian Bale

Now, who was the genius that put Christian Bale in this movie?  I want to kiss them!  I love the Terminator series and I love Christian Bale...so it works for me.  :D  I'm kind of excited to see it become a deeper movie.  I love Arnie...I do, but everything's a little campy with him around.  LOL  Christian is a true actor and I'm pretty excited about his involvement.  :)

Released May 22, 2009

Transformers 2

Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox

I thought the first one was fantastic.  I've not had so much fun in a movie in a long time.  :)  I think Shia is pretty enjoyable to watch.  I loved transformers when I was a kid, so the movies are great for me.  :D  Can't wait!

Released June 26, 2009

Star Trek

(I'm not listing everyone.  lol)

Yeah, I'm a Star Trek fan.  Now, I'm not really a Trekkie...but I enjoy all encarnations of Star Trek.  There is just something about it that's fun and cool.  :)  I like the idea that they have revamped the original.  :D
