Saw "Yes Man" yesterday.
Hubby and I laughed a lot. I really enjoyed it!

I have to ask this....

WTF is up with Slumdog Millionaire and the kids in the movie?

Seems like every other week there is a story about them getting a new house, getting kicked out of one, going to jail or fighting for some thing?

I know the kids were pulled from the slums to act, but didn't they get SOME money? A buck does go a long way in India, so why are these kids still there?

---------------------------------

AVPR Requiem- I love Sci Fi- this movie sucked. Two stars? maybe?

Burn After Reading- Another good movie with a WTF ending! two stars-I loved movies that made you want to discuss them afterwards. I feel cheated when a movie fizzles out at the end.


Two complaints? Why are scary movies so dark that I have to adjust the set to see them?

And why do movies which are very good to begin with, give you an ending that sucks cat hair from the recliner? B after R was a good quirky movie, but what the characters did had no ramifications.

The Doors- I like Val Kilmer. The only thing that was never really explained was the Indian showing up while he was tripping. I get the symbolism, but wanted a little more of a story there. 4 stars.

I am halfway thru "Evolution" with David Duchovny in it-corny sci fi!

If you recall, the Native American moved closer to Morrison each time, indicating that death was moving closer to him. Morrison felt that the spirit of a Native American entered his body when they came upon a car accident. So when he was doing his dance on stage, for example, the Indian was there because Morrison was courting death w/drugs.

This afternoon we saw Public Enemies.

Very enjoyable movie. I'd never seen Johnny Depp before, and he was good. The entire cast was, actually.

Has anyone seen mall cop? I know it looks pretty dumb but I love Kevin James and I am thinking of renting it tonight.

I have low standards for movies.. I pretty much love them all. I've only ever walked out of two movies.. Mall Cop was one of them :P

This past weekend I saw Bride Wars, He's Just Not That Into You and Hotel For Dogs.
Hotel For Dogs made me get LES a couple of times. I had to keep reminding myself it's just a movie. But then I'd remember that this stuff really happens in real life. But it was a cute movie.

Have you seen "Knowing" w/Nicholas Cage? I watched in On Demand the other night. I turned it off. I could not believe how bad the script, the acting and the characters are. This new method of acting where everyone whispers and mumbles is getting on my last nerve. Actually, I guess it isn't new. 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.

That's incredible that it's the first time you've seen Johnny Depp. He's such a great actor and so diverse! I hope you'll take a chance on some of his other titles. There's something from every genre to choose from, or pretty close anyway! I am looking forward to seeing this newest one!

From 1948 - Words and Music - the partnership of Rodgers & Hart. Wonderful movie, filled with glorious music.

I have to laugh when folks go on and one about Michael Jackson and his music - have any of them ever heard of Richard Rodgers? He and Hammerstein (his 2nd partner) won 2 Pulitzer Prizes - along with numerous Academy Awards, Emmys, Tonys and Grammies.

The original "Taking of Pelham 123" with Walter Matthau & Ben Stiller. I'd recommend anyone wanting to see the new one coming out to watch this one first. Great movie!
