Van Wilder - NOT FOR KIDS, hilarious

About a Boy - Very good even if it has Huge Grant in it

Sweet Home Alabama - Funny and fun to watch

The Bourne Identity - Lots of Action, good story, fun

I Am Sam - Sad, Funny, Fun to watch, Sean Penn is amazing

The Banger Sisters - ok, not worth the $3.99 I paid, sleazy Goldie Hawn was annoying! I spent the movie doing a make-over on her in my head

The Count of Monte Cristo - Very good

Kate & Leopold - all around great!

Hannibal - I love the Lecter series, not as good as Silence of the Lambs, but worth it for the $ I spent to buy it ($10)

Life as a House - Wonderful!

LOL we got free pay per view coupons in the mail today from directv, so I plan on getting one free movie a month until May or June. Of course I need to call them and complain about the fact that one coupon expired 3/31 and I didn't recieve it until then.. lol

Well, we rented

Ghost Ship~kinda creepy, and very graphic in nature. I am not a weak-stomached person, but the things they showed kind of got me woozy. Otherwise, very good.

Joy Ride~DUMB! It's really weird, I wouldn't recommend it though.

we just saw

Half Past Dead - it's a Steven Segal and I usually hate action films, but this one was a little bit interesting...more so than any action I've seen inawhile...

Pluto Nash or something like that with Eddie Murphy--I think he's so funny usually but I actually thought this was pretty dumb.

I Spy-Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson- LOVED IT...way funny and wanna watch it again.

Simone-Al Pacino... I didn't think I would like this but it ended up being VERY interesting and I'd definitely watch it again...

We bought the Ring and I usually LOVE scary movies but I decided it was WAY too disturbing so I sold it to my sister because I didn't want it in the house after that!

And lastly, White Oleander--very interesting and I'd watch it again, but kinda weird- the acting was great but it was more sad and weird than I expected.

ENJOY!

We borrowed Ghost Ship last night. I didn't enjoy it. It wasn't scary at all and went downhill quickly. 20 minutes in I was hoping they would all die so the movie would end faster...

Changing Lanes was sad but really well done, we enjoyed that a lot.

The Ring has one incredibly scary part (at the end) that made it worthwhile but we went to the theatre for it-I won't have that movie in my house :O

recently rented

we just bought treasure planet so i can't wait to see it...

recently we saw:
darkness falls--i closed my eyes a lot but the end was more stupid than scary

trapped--very good, edge of the chair thriller... i totally liked it but trying to move away from rated R

possession--too much s*x and so i hated it

anyone else seen good ones recently?

I want to see two weeks notice--it's out on dvd now.

If you think Viggo Mortensen (aragorn from LOTR) is sexy

I rented A Walk On the Moon and WOWY WOW WOW.
I wouldn't watch it with the kids, don't have a DH either, but boy does this movie show his best features.
Tough movie with family issues, but good if you are a Viggo fan.
just my 2 cents

I just watched Far from Heaven (Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid) last night and I thought it was really well done.
