We watched Thor the other day - it's out on DVD now, so we got it from Redbox - gotta love that one dollar fee!

It was really good, surprisingly so, and pretty decent at following some of the actual Norse mythology.

I was surprised by that movie, too! It was fantastic! I only checked it out because of the cast. It was just the right amount of camp, and never got cheesy! I don't know how they did it, considering the hero carries an oversized hammer! How does that come out anything BUT cheesy? I gave it two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

Last night, we watch "The Solitary Man" and, given Johnny Cash singing the title track in the opening, and the fact it was starring Michael Douglas, we gave it a shot. I'll will spare the rest of you - don't bother. It was a sad, but not even in a good way, story. You just end up thinking the main character is a pathetic idiot, and not in a funny way. Fine performances by Susan Saradon and Danny DeVito and other big names in minor roles, but not worth the time.

Came across "Airheads" with Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler on cable. I missed the beginning but I want to Netflix queue it and see the whole thing!

I also want to see the George Clooney/Brad Pitt "Ocean's Eleven" again. I hope they re-release it because I'd like to see it at the theater.

i have been to see quite a lot of movies lately thanks to my wins, REDDOG is a must for all to see, an australian film that all animal lovers will LOVE,have your tissues handy is all i am saying.

Midnight in Paris, HATED IT HATED IT, so BORING, BORING, i am not a owen wilson fan so that did not help,yet some people love this movie, but for me 2/10 and that is only for the comedy in it.

THE DEBT , great movie, thrilling, intense, loved it 8/10.

Anonymus, not too bad, a bit confusing, not quite my type of movie, but it was ok.

IN TIME, i really enjoyed this movie, and i am not in to sci fi type or futuristic type movies, but yes was good.

Going to see one day this weekend, and The beginners and contagion soon.

Are you a fan of Woody Allen? I hear that helps more than anything. I had planned to see it, but had actually forgotten about it! I may see if we have it on On Demand or Netflix . . . I can't even remember how old it is haha.

nope not a woody allen fan at all, i guess hate was a bit of a strong word for it, just found it so boring.

Just been to see one day , a nice romantic type film, but a bit slow i thought, and not as good as it could have been, but it was ok.

Going to see The beginners soon.
