War Horse

The day after Christmas is always our day to go see a movie. We're seeing Sherlock Holmes, but the one I really want to see is the new Steven Speilberg movie, War Horse. I am a sucker for a good horse movie, and this one looks great and is getting good reviews.

I saw Sherlock Holmes Friday night......with my "friend" and it is very good.....just don't take (or let anyone with you) bathroom breaks, cuz then you have to play catch up to fill them in on what they missed....

We were talking about War Horse, because it is supposed to be really good.....a fiction story written about a true time period......

I want to see that one too! (War Horse) It looks really nice :)

I would love to see both.

We loved Sherlock Holmes! I liked the first, but I think this one was much better actually.

Sounds like I'm going to have to bring a box of kleenex to War Horse, but that's probably true of most horse stories, am I right?! Cheryl, Carol, & Rhonda, how about we meet up to see it. I can't find anyone who wants to go with me.

I'd love to Amy, but by then, I might have already seen it with someone else...

WAR HORSE! YES! I have a huge collection of horse movies so I have to see this one too. Clay made fun of me the other night for standing right in front of the tv like a kid when they were showing the advertisement for it.

Ok Gin, we'll all go.

That's too funny!

I see you like Horses Gin. Let's see....

Have you seen "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken"? I love that one



I also own this one among others

I saw Wild Hearts in 1991 I believe. I was babysitting three kids and Clay and I decided to take them to the movies. The youngest, a little girl named Anna was 5 at the time. In the middle of the movie the film just stopped. Anna looked up at Clay and said " Mr. Clay, could you please go fix their big TV?"
They fixed it before the kids got restless thank goodness! It was a great movie.

Here are the horse related movies that I have:
The Black Stallion
The Man of Snowy River
Moondance Alexander
Second Chances
Flicka
Flicka 2
Dreamer

My favorite horse movie all time:

Seabiscuit

Gin,
You don't own Sylvester??

Horse movies I have are:

I want to see this move too, but it looks so sad. I love a good period piece though.

I think i'll have to watch this one
I LOVE Wild Hearts Can't be broken i need to see Sylvester anything with Melissa Gilbert i got to see

No I don't have Sylvester nor have I seen it. I looked online awhile back to buy it, but only found it on VHS. I prefer now dvds. I will find it sometime though. Gotta get Clay on the lookout for Melissa Gilbert movies......MOTHER'S DAY!

Oh you have to see Sylverster! :)
You can watch the entire thing on YouTube

Also, I like Tatum O'Neal so I want to see International Velvet

Well, I saw it. And I have to say, the jury is still out. I liked it, but I'm kind of shocked it's getting so much critical buzz. It is VERY sappy, I must say. And quite slow, really. I did enjoy it, but there were things about it that could have been SO much better. I think it's because it's a Steven Spielberg movie that it's getting critical acclaim.

One of my FB friends said she didn't cry at all, so I thought I was safe. But, no such luck. There is a scene that was very tense and made me cry. Man, I hate crying in theaters.


Again, this was good, just not great, in my opinion. Certainly not on the level of Seabiscuit, to be worthy of such high accolades that Seabiscuit deserved to be. It would cheapen Seabiscuit's honor, if this was actually nominated for an Oscar.

I'm going to see it tonight.....that is, after dinner......

Oh good! I hope you enjoy it Rhonda! I DID enjoy it...I don't want to give the wrong impression. I just expected more from S.S., I guess. Maybe I'm being too hard on it...can't wait to be able to discuss it with you!

I still want to go see it...but since you've told me its sappy that means I cant take Clay. He just hates stuff that TOO sappy. He'll bug me to death saying he needs popcorn or chocolate or a drink or that he needs to pee.....lol
I guess I'll go alone.....How I wish in times like these I could just zap one of you here to go with me.

Well...it is about war and shooting and killing and death and blood.....sounds like he could get through the sappy with all that going on.....

Me too, Gin, me too. But yeah, Bill & Clay are a lot alike and Bill would have hated this movie. Go see it, Gin---it is definitely worth seeing, especially for us horse lovers. What did you think, Rhonda?
