Did anyone see the movie Take the Lead? If so, how did you like it?

I really liked it, there was some good humor.  It does help to have at least a small interest in ballroom dancing.\n\nif you see it and do like it, try strictly ballroom by Baz Luhrman. :)

It was pretty good...it was a good story, but got a little slow in parts.  I enjoyed it though, the French guy in it is a fabulous actor, you really hated him.  I love a good villain.\nI think it was worth the watch...I'd watch it again.

YES!!! AND YES!!! My husband and I loved the movie Hostle.  We went to see it when it first came out.  It's amazing it's based on a true story.  Although most have agreed that the first half of the movie is all breasts and the second half all gore.  I personally thought the first half went very slow but knowing that it's based on a true story... It will definately be one WE OWN ON DVD!!!  \n\nWhat did you think?

It's a good movie, just like Take the Lead and Save the Last Dance 1 and 2; also good, but out of the ballpark, is Stick It (gymanstics).  All these movies show why Bring It On sequels don't have to be so dumb, you can tell a story without the stereotypes being heightened.

Yeah, just caught it opening night. For a horror movie it was real good. For a Video Game movie, it was freaking awsome! Well acted (as in all the characters were believable, and you could buy it was happening to them), mostly mood as opposed to a gorefest, but when they do the gore, wow, they went for it. (The audience was flipping out...I'm a little jaded...) They managed to have just enough of the patented "twist" when they reveal the core of the story left unsaid that they managed to slip some stuff by me too...\n\nOn the whole, I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 4, or to put it more plainly, see it at a matinee showing, or if you have one in your area, see it at a drive in (in other words, not worth 10 bucks, but definately catch it on the big screen if at all possible.)

Decent acting, not a great movie, but a good enough film to pass the time.\nIt'll keep you guessing til the last second. And the camera work is great all movie long, so I would say YES, definetly go watch it.\n\nMake sure you get some good goodies to watch the movie, you won't regret it.\n\nNot the best movie, but a good enough movie to see maybe a Saturday night.

Wow that was an amazing movie,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\n\n\n \nI'm the first to admit that I get a little sappy when writing about Dead Poets Society. I first saw the film during my senior year of high school, and 16 years later it's a movie that is still with me, one that I go back to time and time again.\n\nThere's a little bit of formula at work here: A stuffy rep school, 1950s, a collection of impressionable young boys, and a teacher that will change their lives. But there's something at work that turns what could have been a forgettable, droll piece of saccharine storytelling into a classic. Part of it is Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, a young English teacher that uses poetry to teach them how to "Sieze the day," to suck the marrow out of life, as Thoreau put it.\n\nThe poetry angle is an interested and unexpected one. And writer Tom Schulman and director Peter Weir have no confusion that the idea is a little corny. Putting a kid in front of the class, covering his eyes, and forcing him to free associate until he comes up with a verse about Walt Whitman? Sounds ridiculous, but it works. In fact, it's one of the most powerful scenes in the film.\n\nThat's because the kids in the film are just as good as Williams is here. Robert Sean Leonard is the ostensible star as Neil, a deeply repressed lad who's the class president type yet dreams of doing something artistic, despite the insistence by his father (Kurtwood Smith) that he become a doctor. And then there's roommate Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), an intensely shy young man who's attending Welton Academy for the first time this year and will be memorably brought out of his shell, fighting all the way, by Keating. The other students of note -- Josh Charles as a lovesick kid and Gale Hansen as the unforgettable rebel "Nuwanda" -- are equally apt.\n\nUltimately the film revolves around Neil's story, when he decides for the first time to defy his father and act in a local play -- as Puck, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, of all things. This leads to a series of catastrophic events that culminates in (spoiler alert from here on out) Neil's suicide and the scapegoating/firing of Keating for it.\n\nAt once uplifting and emotionally crushing, there's no way to leave this movie without wanting to somehow improve your life and follow Keating's advice by seizing the day. Every time I watch the film I'm compelled to complete some lingering project, plan a trip, move into a new house, or do something unforgettable. Weir's direction perfectly captures the 1950s mood -- an era of repression just on the verge of breaking wide open -- and Williams manages to keep his mania in check for the bulk of the film, trotting out an impression here or there when the story requires it.\n\nIn recent years, Dead Poets Society has become a curious platform for deconstruction and revisionism. Viewers wonder, among other things, whether Neil was so troubled because he was secretly gay. Whether Keating might genuinely be guilty of contributing to his death. Whether "Sieze the day" isn't such a great motto after all. I'm not actually supporting any of these ideas per se, but the latter-day ruminating gives the film more weight than you might otherwise think, and it makes the movie all the richer for it. \n\nI Give it 4 out of 5 stars lol

This movie was a beautifully created film.  The cinematography alone made it well worth the cost of a ticket.  The costuming was beautiful, artful and relatively authentic.  As long as you are/were willing to sit through the length of the movie, it was very well done.\n\nI do agree that the use of a Chinese actress versus a Japanese actress was not the brightest call, but unfortunately, most Americans really don't recognize the differences (very sad, but also true.)\n\nI loved the story, though now that I have it on DVD, I tend to skip over the beginning where she's a child (except for the flavored ice scene - it's just beautiful).  I really love watching the development of the characters.\n\nWhile a lot of people think it isn't worth renting over and over again, let alone owning, I see it as a beautiful rendition of a lost part of history.  And to think - the book was written by a man! Go figure!

Yes.  It was really good.  Usually, sequels are horrible, but this one has new material that is as good as the first, but not redundant.  It has a really good twist at the end.  A lot of it is pretty freaky.  Without spoiling it for you, there's something in it that has scared me from ever checking to see who is at the door!\n\nI really suggest picking it up and giving it a chance.

I saw it. And I liked it very much.\n\nThe movie was a very good representation of the book.\n\nBooks always have more background and more details.\n\nSome things were changed or deleted, to keep\nthe story moving, but all-in-all my wife and\nI thought the movie exceeded the expectations\nwe had about what the movie could have been.\n\nBravo!!

I think it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.  I like the portrayal of stereotypes, and how, even if they may unfortunately be correct sometimes, each individual's character is so much more deeper than that.  I also enjoyed how everything tied together at the end.  Truly a must see movie!

Me and two friends saw it on saturday.  It was good, I liked it.  I wouldn't recommend seeing it though unless you love romantic flicks because it has nothing but romance in it.  It's a really cute film the only thing was it was hard to keep track of events and who lived in the present and who lived in the past and one key event in the story was very obvious in the beginning...I'll give it a 2.5/5 though, only see it if you like romance movies...if you don't you probably won't like it, but if you're into romance movies defaintly give it a try.

I thought it was pretty good.  Yeah, the beginning was a bit off, but for people who have no idea of the situation in the UK at the time, it was a great way to explain the fear.  I still like the books better, fevered imaginings are usually a bit more detailed than any movie.\nIt will be interesting to see how the next movies go -- especially since there are Chronicles that are not in the same timeline.
