Saw it tonight. Good movie, but not a great movie. Way too much action (almost all) filmed with a handheld camera and the picture was jerky all the time.

Cost me $9.00 to see a movie here in Cincinnati. When I left Ft. Worth, Texas a couple weeks ago, movies were $7.50 there. Can anybody top that? That is getting pretty dang expensive for a movie IMHO.

In NYC they cost $11. Here in SW Florida: $8.

movies are like 5.50 here in oklahoma.

Yes, but they don't pay as much as jobs in Cincinatti. But then, they don't have to.

I have been thinking about seeing this movie for awhile but I can't decide if I want to or not. I'm worried that I'll go and see that it wasn't tastefully done and just get pissed off. So if you could tell me what you think that would be great.

If this helps, this was written by the son of one of the passengers:

Quote:As the son of Joe Driscoll, passenger on Flight 93, I was invited to opening of the Tribeca Film Festival to view United 93.

Unless you are 110% sure you can't take watching this movie - you have got to see this film. Universal Studios and Paul Greengrass absolutely nailed it.

Even though the ending is no surprise this movie is gripping and powerful. There is no political statement - and by no means is this a politically correct tribute. It is rough, true and stark.

Almost no one in the film is mentioned by name and nor are there any A-list stars, just average Americans...it truly represents "THE 40" that come together as one to say "we will not let this happen".

The military air space commanders, air traffic controllers, etc...many of whom played themselves in the film add a tremendous amount of reality. It was absolutely fascinating to see the inner workings of those command centers on that day. And to try and figure out which handful of planes, out of 4,200 in the sky at the time, were hijacked...you will walk away with a whole new appreciation for the monumental task that these men and women had on the ground to control the skies.

And for the monumental task that THE 40 had in the plane - it was superb. The cinematography and score was magnificent.

The film left me emotionally exhausted. At times I wanted to cheer my father and his fellow passengers on and at the end it I sat in stunned silence. The chaotic and noisy climax comes to an abrupt end and you are left sitting in a silent and dark theater. At that time there were family members all around me who simply lost it - with cries and tears piercing the dark room as the credits began to roll across a black screen.

Beaming with pride but wrought with heartache I walked out of the theater with my brother onto the streets of Manhattan, trying seemingly in vain to digest what I just witnessed. It was a fruitless effort as I think it will simply take time, a long time.

This film is not here "too soon", that is a ridiculous notion. Now, I totally respect an individual not wanting to see this film - that is understandable. But many in this country are ready. We need to be ready. We need a fresh reminder of that day as it is painfully obvious that many - even here in NYC - have lost their raw emotion and anger from that day....and that is a tragedy in itself.

I hope you all try and see this movie. The good folks here at this site understand the nature and insatiable evil of our enemy. This film captures that in no uncertain terms.

Again, kudos to Paul Greengrass and Universal Studios.

Don't you think you'll leave being pissed off even if it is tastefully done?

It costs $8.00 a ticket in Memphis. I haven't seen it yet and don't know if I will. Part of me wants to experience this, but part of me says that this potrays the last actions of people who died and some things need to remain a mystery. I'm torn on it. It seems to be doing better than MI:3 at least.

Jtiger you ever been to the Germantown Commissary? Man that is some good chow there. I like Germantown.

I went to a friend's wedding there at that big Germantown Baptist Church and I shot there 3 pics when I drove through there in November of last year:

I have been there and it's pretty good. My favorite is Central BBQ in midtown.
