. . . . . . . . . . Milk was AMAZING and Sean Penn . . . . . . . should win an award. I found the parallels between 1978/Prop 6 and 2008/Prop 8 fascinating. . . . . . . . . . .

I totally agree. Saw MILK this afternoon. Sean Penn was terrific. Loved the interspersing of old footage with the new.

Yesterday I saw Yes Man and The Ice Storm. Yes Man was pretty good but I really loved The Ice Storm.

I can't wait to see "Milk" and "Yes Man." I really love Sean Penn and Jim Carrey. I have been a fan of Sean Penn for a long time, but the one that sold me on him was "Sweet and Lowdown."

Saw Bolt this past weekend and I started crying at the very beginning when they show the little guy in the shelter. Hugged our pups (and kitties) when we got home.

Just got home from seeing Doubt, with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Very powerful movie.

Meryl Streep amazes me. We last saw her in Mama Mia as a carefree unwed mother; now she's a nun - the kind that would hit you on the knuckles with a ruler. What a gifted actress.

Heist- *** Huge Gene Hackman fan, good story.

Fracture **** Good movie. "Hannibal" finally gets his!

No Reservations **** Not a chick flick kinda dude, Love CZJ....Would do her dishes any day. The kid in the movie was really good. I don't like kid actors, but she was exceptional.

Jumpers * I love sci fi, but this movie sucked. No history or background as to why you can jump!

Transformers * WTFWT? Again, I love sci fi, but I could not tel what was going on with all the special effects. Dumb.

The Duchess with Keira Knightley. I'm not a huge fan of hers, per se, but I really enjoyed this movie. It's based on actual people and events, and is pretty accurate, from the bits of knowledge I have about the people. Great movie.

David and I started watching John Adams last night, and wow, it is incredible. It's not a movie, really, but a mini-series that was on HBO. We've only watched the first two parts, though, and I can't wait to see the rest!

An older one I watched the other night, The Thing Called Love, with Samantha Mathis and River Phoenix, Sandra Bullock and Dermot Mulroney. It's full of music and I love it. The soundtrack is excellent and I think it's either Phoenix's last or close to his last movie. All the actors I listed sing in the movie!

YOu know, I never saw any of PSH movies and lately he has shown up in quite a few.....I loved him in C Wilson's war and last night I saw RED DRAGON and he played the reporter that gets invovled with the mass killer....

Graet actor.

I also watched CONEHEADS again and was amazed at all the stars that were in that movies.....A good 'see' even just for the people you recognize!

Past few days -

Double Jeopardy, 1999, with Ashley Judd, Tommie Lee Jones. Lots of action and I was so glad when she shot the creep.

On The Beach - the original from 1959, with Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Ava Gardner, Tony Perkins.

I saw "Taken" recently. Surprisingly excellent movie! I didn't expect it to be good as I heard it was low budget and kind of weird. The guy was better then James Bond at killing Bad guys! It was kind of fake, but it was pretty good. I enjoyed it. It was about an Ex-spies daughter being kidnapped and going into the Bosnian(or some other 'B' country) sex slave trade, he goes to rescue her and eventually does. It was pretty cool.

Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. I hadn't seen it in years but it was very good, obviously. I love the Lion King!

I haven't watched very many movies lately.

A few months ago I watched P.S. I love you. I cried the WHOLE way through it. But I think that was mainly because me and my Irish boyfriend had just broken up. Any time I hear someone with that accent I cry and start missing what I had. The Irish accent is so beautiful to me. I loved that movie.

And then last night I watched August Rush. I loved that movie as well. The music was wonderful in it. And it had some good eye candy as well.
