we saw it in theatre, it was funny & heart-warming. i think it comes out on video next week.

i was so happy it was such a huge success, it's nice to see films like that do well.

I saw How to Lose . . . yesterday. Yes, it was predictable especially the end. But there was some really funny stuff in it, and I think Kate Hudson inherited her mom's comic timing. She was really good. As one of my friends said, if it's really bad, at least we can watch Matthew McConaughey for 2 hours.


I loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It was very funny and sweet. It is nice to see an independent film do so well.

i don't know, i didn't make it through, i fell asleep
so maybe not!

i'm dying to see The Life of David Gale...(cutie kevin spacey!) but it's playing only in the next town, which would be an hour and a half drive (there and back) and 2 hours in a theatre... my back just wouldn't make it


The Hours is also playing, i'm dying to see that one too..


come to think of it, there are so many in theatre right now that i want to see, i wish they were all coming out on video soon.

we're going to watch James Patterson's 1st To Die tonight.

Loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I had many Greek friends and was over at their homes many times. So I could relate!

This weekend we rented Gone in 60 seconds with Nicholas Cage and Angelia Joli....I really liked it!!

Now, I'm about to sit down with sick hubby and watch One Hour Photo. I'll let you know what I think.

Well, I saw One Hour Photo last night. I thought Robin Williams did an excellent job!! Two words to sum up the movie: Disturbing and Creeeeepy!! I'm glad that I have gone digital!! Talk about stalking potential. Ick!


I love that Robin Williams is now taking these types of roles. These darker roles really suit him and he also did a good job in Insomnia (with Al Pacino).

We saw Adaptation yesterday. What a wild and bizarre movie! I really liked it but I don't think my husband did. If you liked Being John Malkovich (is that the right name???) then you'll love Adaptation.

I don't know that I can even begin to describe it....but it is about a screenwriter who is trying to write a screen play based on a novel written by Meryl Streep's character. He is stumped about how to write it (because the story is about flowers) and ends up writing about himself trying to write the screenplay. Anyway, all of the characters begin to interact and you can't tell what is real and what is screenplay....it is really bizarre but a lot of fun.

I rented The Ring and Unfaithful the other day.

The Ring was really creepy! I thought the ending was kind of dumb, but it was a decent movie.

I was disappointed in Unfaithful. When I first saw the previews, I thought, oh another infidelity movie. Then I heard all the hype about how surprising it is etc. Should have listened to my first thoughts. The acting was good, and the guy who plays the lover is really good looking, but it still wasn't that great.

I might rent The Ring this weekend, still trying to find a scary movie!

I also was disappointed in Unfaithful. I was bored silly half way through it and almost turned it off! It seems whenever any movie is hyped, I'm disappointed. OK, maybe not everyone, I did enjoy Sixth Sense and LOTR!

I went and saw Bringing Down the House with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah. Very, very funny. It's been a while since I have seen a Steve Martin movie and it was well worth the wait. It brought some well needed comic relief to my life.
