OK I have been thinking for a while and as shown in this thread of Forum Issues
And I decided that it will not hurt to give it a shot and see how other members would like this.
What I would like from our kind members is simply as follows :

Whenever you watch a new movie / rent a new DVD , come to this thread and just drop a couple of lines and keeping it short, telling others if this movie was worth watching / buying or not. That way we can have our very own thread that will include all opinions about new movies and either they where worth it or not. Like ATM I am borred and taking off to rent some new DVD's and after I am done I am going to come back here and say what I thought about them.

So anyways let the updating process begin 😀

 
Pride and Prejudice - Loved it (and not just because Keira Knightley was in it).
Kingdom of Heaven - Also great
 
Black Hawk Down- If you have not seen it, go read the book, then go watch the movie, then buy the 3 disc deluxe DVD set, you will not regret it!


🙂
 
Thanks for your contribution guys, I have updated the OP to show how the reviews should be like, so if you can kindly modify your posts accordingly that would be great 😀
 
Name : Serenity
Genre : Sci-Fi
Type (Movie / DVD Rental or Purchase) : Rental
Comments (2-3 lines if possible) : A very nice DVD that takes you into the not so far future where Humans have expanded in numbers beyond the Earth's capacity and after that moving to distant planets the plot events kick off as the brother tries to rescue his pshycic sister from the hands of the government, in an adventure across different planets.

It's going to be much effort to search and find a movie review as this thread grows vs. having separate movie review threads in addition to IMBD & RT as sources. Just my opinion. 🙂
 
Name : The Talanted Mr. Ripley
Genre : Drama
Type (Movie / DVD Rental or Purchase) : Rented
Comments (2-3 lines if possible) : Amazing movie, the character development draws you deep in. One of those movies you think about long after it is over. Matt Damon is amazing as usual.
Rating (1-10) : 10
 
This isn't going to work.. best thing is to create a separate thread with it's own poll and own reviews. having a bunch of movies in one thread gets out of hand very quickly. My suggestion is to have this "official" thread be a link point to the other separately created threads.
 
Name : A Time to Kill
Genre : Drama
Type (Movie / DVD Rental or Purchase) : Purchase
Comments (2-3 lines if possible) : Excellent movie showing supremacy uprisings in the south.
Rating (1-10) : 10

It's a good idea to have single official thread with the separet movie threads linked in it, that way members can just go to the single thread and look for updated links, but as you can see in my thread in Forum issues, it's not possible to have an official thread for any of this, that's why I have made this thread.

As this thread grows, it not going to be worth the effort to search for a review of a particular movie. It would be easier to search thread titles for a movie name and if search doesn't return any current results, just start a thread on the movie in question.

I agree, not to mention I just go to Amazon.com and read the customer reviews for any movie or book before i buy it....it really helps me stay away from bad books or at least prepare me for one that i find I must buy anyway...

That's ok I guess we'll enjoy it for the time being then 😀

Plus it will serve as a recommendation list for whomever is bored and looking for a movie recommendation from a fellow AT member
