Jkm | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 08:36 am     Has anyone seen this yet? Taking a group of middle schoolers to see it tonight. (Scouts) |
Myjohnhenry | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 02:12 pm     Not yet, but my kid has been asking to go since the previews started. : ) I think some of her school mates have gone, but I haven't heard if they did or what they thought of it. |
Ymdme | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 06:57 pm     I saw this movie this afternoon and I really liked it. I read the book years ago when my kids had to read it for school, so I knew what the story was about. It's a beautiful movie - lots of great scenary. ymd |
Calamity | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 10:27 am     I haven't seen it yet although I'd like to. Loved the story when I was kid. It was the first book I remember reading whose writing captivated me as much as its characters and plots. ***Not-really-a-book-spoiler-but-just-in-case*** And even after all this time, I am still haunted by the scene with the toad in the road. I know Winnie had innocent intentions but I could never decide if the toad had simply developed a lack of fear or if it, too, considered eternal life to be an unnatural burden. |
Jbean | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:08 pm     i just went and saw this tonight, and i thought it was really good. just a really sweet, touching story. i was thinking it would be more of an "anne of green gables" story though. it was cute. i like alexis bledel because of gilmore girls, it was a totally different role for her. |
Crazydog | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 01:48 pm     Is this the one with the spring with the powerful waters? I read this book about 20 years ago and think I am confusing it with "Bridge to Terabithia". Not really sure what that's about anymore either. My favorite childhood book of all time is "The Pushcart War". I'd love to see a movie or cartoon get made out of that. |
Jbean | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 11:15 am     crazydog, yes, it is the one with the spring....or fountain of youth. it was a good movie. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 02:48 pm     We just saw this one a week or so ago at the second run theater. I hadn't read this thread and didn't know a lot about the movie, just saw that it starred Sissy Spacek, Ben Kingsley, and William Hurt. How could it go wrong? But it sort of did. Perhaps I was expecting too much because of the stars. The movie was way smaller than its stars. Which is not to say it wasn't a sweet movie. It was. |
Kellee | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 09:17 pm     I just finished watching this...I bought the DVD cause I had been dying to see the movie but never made it to the theather...I sm so glad I bought it...it is a movie I could watch again and again...Jonathan Jackson just has such a wonderful quality about him that complimented Alexis Bledil so well....I thought it was wonderful...well worth the money spent |
Kady | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 10:29 pm     I would like to see the movie. My son just recently brought the book home from school so I could read it cause he knew I wanted to see the movie. But in the book Winnie is only 10 so I am trying to figure out how they made the movie with Alexis as Winnie. I guess since I've waited this long, I'll wait for it to be on HBO or something. |
Jbean | Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 07:27 pm     kady, she is 15 in the movie and the boy is 16 or 17. |
