We saw the new science fiction move "Skyline" the other day - and it was very interesting, but the ending was nonexistent, so I wouldn't recommend bothering to see it in the theater. The special effects were fine, but nothing you particularly need to see on the big screen.

We also watched Valentine's Day the other night - it's on cable, so "free" and it was surprisingly good. Nice stories, well intertwined, and some nice and memorable characters, our only quibble was with the loyalties of the one Border Collie, but he had a minor role. Lots of stars - Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner and more, all well-suited to the roles.

Not too long ago, I watched "500 Days of Summer," and boy was I glad I waited for cable on that one. I have liked Zoey Deschanel in other roles, so figured I'd watch this, but it was pretty darned sad the whole movie, after a few promising moments. I watched the whole thing, and it does end on a hopeful note, but it's such a minor thing, you just feel sorry for the guy who is the main character.
