We saw Windtalkers. It was good but there was more of a hollywood slant on in than the reality of what really happened. There were some tense moments in the picture that had me on the edge of my seat.They guarded those Navaho better than Fort Knox. I wish they had gone more into detail as to how the Navaho initially became involved in being codemakers instead of just skimming through that part.

Creepy movie......

I'm thinking maybe I should rent A Beautiful Mind again, and this time watch it clear to the end, and maybe I would like it. Everyone seems to think it was great, and maybe I just didn't give it much of a chance.

Debby, I really think its down to what you are expecting to see.... it IS a slow movie really, as opposed to "action/thriller/horror/adventure" etc etc if you're looking to see an explosive ending, you probably still won't like it, but if you are in a "thinking" kind of mood and are looking for something a little different, try it again, you might just like it this time

Well, the night I watched it was the night hubby was gone to his sisters 4th of July party, 70 miles away, and I stayed home because I wasn't feeling good, and I was a bit spooked, since he was spending the night there, and also I was worried about going into labor while he was gone, so I wanted to watch something that would take my mind off of things, and I think it just moved too slow for me, and my mind kept wandering. I will have to give it another shot!

I think in some parts it is slow, but for the most part it is a good movie!

Well, I finally rented A Beautiful Mind last night. It was slow moving, but as it went on, I liked it more and more. It is mostly amazing because it's a true story. I don't think I have ever seen a Ron Howard film I didn't like. Now you have me thinking about the Pentagon scene. It took me awhile to figure out that he was delusional with Ed Harris. Perhpas the Pentagon thing was real, but it was there that he "saw" Ed Harris looking in on him. I'm not sure.

His son also has schizophrenia ...... If you do a search on Google, you can find some info. Also, his wife divorced him shortly after he left the baby in the tub. They were just remarried last year.
