I rented Frailty last night. It was an ok film.

Why didn't anybody notice the dug up graves in The Rose Garden. What was this garden, was it a public garden? If so, aren't there maintenance staff or someone who would have noticed the newly dug graves? I was confused on that point.



Plus, they were a little off in some of the killing scenes. If you took an axe and hit someone you would be sprayed with blood, but there was no blood in the first killing.

I'm one of these people who need total reality to be shown in the scenes. If something is off, I dwell on it!

I can't sit still if I'm not totally interested in a movie. So during Frailty, I kept going to the kitchen to find something to munch on and missed a couple of scenes. Then Nakita kept wanting to play with my feet!

I was confused about the graves in the flower beds, too. Even so, the amazing Mr. McConaughey was enough of a diversion for me.

i felt the same way.

for the first half of the movie i was pretty engrossed, and not just because Matthew was in it
but because i was intrigued...
and then -- it just lost me, it started to make less and less sense, and i was sitting there wondering what was happening.

a lot of things didn't add up or make sense or flow - though i saw it when it first came out and i can't even remember those details now, i do remember feeling :confused3 after, not to metion, ill at ease with the ending and the movie in general.

it turned out to be just not my cup of tea.

looking forward to seeing Igby Goes Down, it comes out on video soon,
did anyone see it when it was in the theatre?

we're going to watch The Banger Sisters tonight. i haven't heard really anything about it but it
seems like it should be entertaining enough, and i love Susan Sarandon.
i also like Goldie Hawn, i think she's sweet.

anyone else seen it yet?

I haven't seen it, but was it good?

For me, some of the older movies are still the best...for anyone who wants to see a really good movie, I highly recommend "Fried Green Tomatoes"....it is one of my all time favorites!

I watched Sweet Home Alabama the other day, and thought that was really cute. I kind of want to see Final Destination II, but will probably wait.

I just bought the Bourne Identity on DVD. I can't wait to watch it, as it has an alternate ending.

Seen Jeepers Creepers? That creeped me out.

Has anyone seen Sweet Home Alabama? I would like to see it and wondered if anyone else liked it?

The Banger Sisters was okay, it was actually fairly entertaining --there were a few
laugh out loud scenes, the dialouge was quite witty at times. I like Susan Sarandon & Goldie Hawn together.

we're going to rent Igby Goes Down & Tadpole this weekend.

I slept through the Bourne Identity today. No fault of the movie. I am sick. But I saw it in the theater. It was great!

i'd like to go see How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days tonight because it looks silly and entertaining,
but i can't sit in a movie theatre for two hours anymore.

the last time i had to have someone actually lift me out of the seat, i couldn't move.
and i couldn't move for the rest of the night either. my back went out.

probaly because we went and saw LOTR: The Two Towers and it was 3 freakin hours long.
