ok......so i went to SEVERAL movies this weekend.....two had the word HOURS.
one.....'the hours' was an interesting portrait of women who let others live their lives for them.....sad, and uplifting in a round about way.....beautiful score, PIANO, by philip glass
the second is '25th HOUR' the new spike lee joint......and lemmie tell you.....powerful movie. there was a scene that blew me away with it's raw honesty (i don't wanna spoil it, i'll only say it took place in the lav) i loved the preformances of edward norton and brain cox <----powerful character actor that in a small role.....makes a BIG impression!
definately recommend BOTH movies......but perhaps for this mostly MALE crowd........the second movie will be more of a pleaser!

'the hours' is NOT a movie for a lot of people. it's a quiet movie (and the subject deals mostly with women, so it's not everyones cup O tea)
the 25th hour on the other hand is a real tour de force.....really emphasizes the choices we make and how they affect our lives AFTER. =0)

I saw The Hours.
Beautiful movie.
Amazing performances, amazing plot/interchanging stories, amazing score.
I got teary eyed, and that takes alot to do that to me.
I see it winning 100000 oscars.
Not for everyone (like LeCoeur said, its about women, and some of you wouldnt be comfortable with it cause its a "chick flick") but if you have any bit of humanity, and compassion, youll get something out of the movie. Its about life. Not just women.

yea to be honest i don't like meryl streep either but she's great in this movie. go fig. the plot really is that universal, and as previously said in this thread, it's beautifully performed and directed (and scored).

i finally watched 25th hour...alright i guess, it started great but after that scene where they observe the place where wtc used to stand, well it just goes down from there, gets a bit boring...shame really, cuz it wouldn't take much for it to be a very good film. it was just too much of feeling sorry, and hugs, and sweet friends talk. the cast was great tho, i liked them all very much.

I watched the Transporter tonight. Even though it had plenty of very cheesy moments, the driving and fighting was so cool that it was still worth it. Jason Strathom is a fuggin badass in that movie!

visually, there was some really great moments in the hours... and i did feel like Daldry coaxed some excellent performances from his actors... but i thought the way the stories were connected was way too obvious, and left the audience with absolutely no work to do...
the 25th hour was pretty emotional... very spike lee-ey in a good sort of way
