    I just finished watching Como Agua Por Chocolate. (Like Water For Chocolate)
    I liked it a lot. Usually, when I like a movie, I have two reactions, I either watch it right over again, or I sit there and think about it. This one is the second. I knew nothing about it coming into it, my parents rented it and so I decided to watch it. My mom told me she originally got the book because she liked the cover, but it turned out to be one of the best books she had ever read.
    It turned out to be very much like Romeo and Juliet at the end, which I wasn't expecting, but I should have guessed from the way they did the beginning.

    If you've never heard of it, it's about Tita, a young woman living on a ranch in Mexico during the time of the revolution with her two sisters, mother, and maids. She is destined to never marry because she is the youngest daughter, she must take care of her mother for the rest of her life. Enter Pedro, it's love at first sight, but her mother will never allow it. I won't tell you any more since I don't want to give away the whole plot before you watch it.


    Argh, I forgot that I watched Jersey Girl last night on TNT. I remember not being thrilled with it at all when I saw the trailer, but I was flipping channels and I caught the very beginning, so I watched, and I liked it.

    Now I'm about to watch Firefly for the billionth time. I love it too much, it seems to just get better every time. Joss is Boss.

    I watched Vantage Point last night. I thought it was a really good movie--I watched it with my mom though and she didn't like how it went back and forth so much..you know how it went to the beginning several times and showed what happened to each of the people..

    I also saw 10,000 BC I loved it..it was a sweet/sad story.. I cried at the end...

    I saw Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E and Wanted recently..

    Kung Fu Panda:
    SO incredibly funny! I normally don't like animated movies but it was a good laugh!

    Wall-E:
    The movie was really cute.. very funny and a simple love story behind it too.

    Wanted:
    I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! It's possibly my new favorite movie. Tons of action, awesome visual effects, gore and I actually really enjoyed the storyline.

    I thought this movie was beautiful! Nice little warning for us, too, I thought. It's amazing how they can animate a character like Wall-E and make him so endearing!

    Count me in as a Firefly fan too! I loved the movie and the series. My co-worker has the box set and I borrow it from time to time. It was on t.v. a few weeks ago (when I called in sick...cough...cough).

    My co-worker said the series lasted one year. I never saw the series when it was on t.v.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    Neither did I. The first I'd even heard of it was when the film came out. I went to see it with friends and they told me about the series and the fan base and the history of it. So, I immediately went out and bought the DVDs and watched all of them in a weekend. It's the only tv series I've ever loved like that.

    No joke. I am a huge Firefly fan. Did you watch the show or Serenity, the movie? I was just thinking of having a Firefly watching party with a friend this week.

    That night I watched Shindig. I wanted to see Mal duel, as I'm in fencing class now.
    I was introduced to it by my parents, who rented Serenity, and then I loved it so we started getting Firefly from Blockbuster Online. I found the whole season for $20 at Target a little over a year ago, it was probably the best $20 ever spent.
    Now I have 4 Firefly/Serenity shirts, I'm wearing one today, actually. I love it when I see another Browncoat.

    I used to watch Angel when it was on TV, I'm a little too young to have watched Buffy when it was on, I'm exactly 10 years younger than Buffy. I watched the first 2 seasons of it on hulu.com but that's all they had, so I'm waiting for blockbuster online to have season 3, disk 1 available.

    I just saw Wall-E tonight. I smiled quite a lot during it. My name's Eva, so now I have people calling my name in that voice just to annoy me.
    I especially loved the credits, they were like the evolution of art.
    I also got a free watch when I bought the ticket, and I needed a watch so I'm going to wear it.

    I saw Hancock last night. It started off lacking something.. it was pretty boring in the beginning. But it quickly got better and I ended up really enjoying the movie overall. The ending is great

    Saw Mama Mia the Movie last night! It is wonderful - the audience laughed all the way through and the bit just after the credits was worth the entrance feel alone

    "Youth Without Youth" written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It's deep. Gonna have to watch it again.
    Blessings,

    My brother and sister went to see that and they got home at around 3am. I wanted to go so bad, but I had work. But I'm glad everyone thought it was awesome! Can't wait to see it!
