Thanks for the warning....I will spend my money elsewhere:D

Cowboys and Angels.

Hm. It never really grabbed me. Too sappy and soap opera -ish for my taste.

Taking Chance.

I cant imagine a harder duty for any of our armed service members then escorting a fallen Soldier or Marine home to rest. This movie does a very good job portraying how we honor our fallen warriors on their final trip home.

From 1980 - Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

Wonderful movie.

That is my favorite movie, period.

Did you know they have an Annual Somewhere in Time Festival at the Grand Hotel.

Yes, I do know about that. I live in Michigan, not near Mackinac Island, but have been there.

For anyone who doesn't know the Island - they had to get special permission to use those cars in the 1980 scenes. Cars are not allowed on Mackinac - horse drawn carriages, bikes, or your own 2 feet.

It's more like the James Dean school of acting where everyone looks down and runs their hands through their hair. Speak up already! I probably could've overlooked it if the plot was any good but I just couldn't sit through another minute of that tripe.

I have! I actually liked it until the last 10 minutes LOL! It was complete junk but it kept me entertained for the most part :p

Nicholas Cage has some good movies but two of his films I consider very bad. Knowing
and Leaving Las Vegas have no redeeming qualities.

Grey Gardens was a very compelling movie and the acting and
makeup were outstanding.

My daughter and her boyfriend went and saw The Proposal, they really enjoyed it, so hubby and I are going to see it this weekend, give you my opinion then.:)

Gran Torino.

I read some of the other comments in this thread about the film, and I didn't find it depressing in the slightest. It was intense and definitely gets through to deep parts of your soul. Definitely has it's sad parts, but overall I felt the message was one of hope and love and friendship and forgiveness. Brilliant movie. Clint Eastwood is a top notch class act, through and through.

I've recently seen "What Happens in Vegas". I don't usually like Cameron Diaz, but have to say that I enjoyed this one.

The Butterfly Effect

It's really different. It shows how events effect lives. I was impressed with the way the sequences were shot.

Eagle Eye with Shia Lebouef (?) - this kid should stick to more not-so-serious roles. 1.5 stars?

The butterfly effect is an awesome movie, apparently butterfly effect 2 was not very good though, just going by word of mouth.
