The Golden Compass. It was really great, I am looking forward to the rest of the story! Two previews at this film were for fantasy type movies that I want to see, too...The Spiderwick Chronicles and the newest installment of the Narnia films.

Oh, and I saw August Rush, too. It was predictable and cheesy, but I loved it. It was very heartwarming and the music is wonderful!

Surprisingly, I have some time to preview I am Legend for you guys before I go to school. Can't wait for WINTER BREAK!

Well, I really liked this movie. The concept was really good and seeing NYC abandoned except for those things(I think they're called Nightcrawlers) and Will Smith was pretty cool. You'll never see it like that. Anyway, it was a little scary, especially for someone like me who hates scary movies.

*SPOILING WARNING*

I cried at the part where the dog died, it was really emotional because the man was left with no other companions


At first I didn't like the ending, I thought it was pretty stupid. But after thinking it over thoroughly the guy could definitely have not gotten out of the situation and I think it was for the best it ended the way it did.
*SPOILER ENDED* I am Legend is one of those movies where you have to piece it together yourself. There are some confusing parts if you don't get it like why he has to lock up when he sleeps and stuff. So overall, I liked it and enjoyed it. It was a little scary and confusing for people who aren't used to seeing movies like that. For the record, I HATE scary movies and to me that was classified as "scary enough".

Hope this helped anyone who wanted to see it but was not sure about it.

Last Friday we saw Charlie Wilson's War - really good. Enjoyed it so much I ordered the book. Then Saturday night on The History Channel there was a 2 hour show about Charlie Wilson, complete with interviews with the real Charlie and real Joanne. Very informative.

Tomorrow we're going to The Water Horse; Legend of the Deep. I'm looking forward to this one.

I'm really looking forward to both of these, be sure to let us know how you like The Water Horse!

We saw National Treasuer 2 over the weekend, and really enjoyed that one. I actaully liked it better then the first. Last night we watched Ocean's 13, which was also very good, although I think 12 is my favorite.

I am really hoping to get to see Sweeny Todd this weekend.

[Scooter's Mom]

In the last week I have seen:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Break-Up
Ratatoutie

Not bad since I usually never get to watch any movies unless they're on tv.

I decided to rent some movies over Christmas break... I disconnected my Direct tv about a month ago, so I haven't been watching anything (my first year without A Christmas Story in years!!! ).

I rented:
Superbad
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
Music and Lyrics
License to Wed

I've watch Superbad, which I thought was going to be funny, but it was just a bunch of high school boy bathroom and body humor. It wasn't even funny... it kinda matched the title of the movie.

I watched I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry for a 2nd time tonight, lol. I just kept cracking up at that one. I loved seeing the different guest stars they had in the movie (Dave Matthews as the gay shop clerk in those plaid pants, omg...). And Ving Rhames coming out as the gay firefighter was just too much... Seeing him singing I'm every woman naked, in the shower, with the other guys just staring, I about peed my pants! His bod is pretty smokin', so I did pay attention, lol. Good lord that man is ripped!

Kevin James was really good in it too... I love him from King of Queens! And the guy who plays the one friend was in the movie too, so that was cool.

Almost anything with Adam Sandler I love (Wedding Singer is the BEST). Never really got into his really odd movies, or the ones where he played a serious role, but I've watched some of those.

Will watch one of the others tomorrow... probably License to Wed, since I'm in the mood for corny movies. I'll probably have to pull out Wedding Singer too, I haven't watched that for about a year, so I'm about due for another dose of that one!

We went to see I am legend, I really liked it. I didn't think it was scary but I got stressed out at a lot of the parts.

I saw Juno tonight and I thought it was really good. I really liked it
I watched Hairspray for the first time yesterday and loved it. I thought i wouldn't like it but I really do. Now I just have to learn the songs

My niece (age 16) saw "Juno" with some friends and really liked it.

I was invited to a friend's Christmas DVD double feature - "Elf" and "It's A Wonderful Life". We ended up watching just "It's A Wonderful Life", but I saw "Elf" on cable recently. I love where Buddy calls himself a cotton-headed ninnymoggins!

[jennielynn1970]

I just watched "License to Wed" and it is really hysterical. I love Robin Williams! Mandy Moore is just so sweet in this, and the guy who plays her boyfriend was cracking me up. The "Choir Boy" is a piece of work too. He's definitely a protege of Robin Williams.

Better late than never. Today we saw The Water Horse - delightful!! I will see it again - for sure. Special effects were seamlessly woven into the movie - Crusoe was magnificient!
