I saw the new "Star Trek" last week. It was OK, but then I never was a Treky.

My mom & sister saw it but they are Trekkies. I have no desire to see it. My son Quin is going to see UP this weekend with his friend.

Went and saw Angels & Demons tonight. It was a good flick IMO. All filmed in Rome too. What a beautiful city that is.

Last night I watched "Gloria". 1980. Not too well directed even for then. Reminded me of those horrible Italian westerns.

Really ?

I liked Gloria.

Its dated now but I thought the intensity was alive and Gena ? Rowlands played the role hard.

I watched the "Thin Red Line" via Netflix. What a great war movie, on a par with "Saving Private Ryan" IMHO. I don't know how I could have missed this 1989 movie as I thought I had seen every war movie ever made. Sean Penn and John Cusack starred. It was a true story about the assault on Guadalcanal WW 2. The movie was filmed in the Solomon Islands and the photography was outstanding. The film was nominated for 6 Academy Awards.

I watched that Mummy in China movie last night, and am going to watch Marley tonight. I am so inactive with this silly arm, I'm up to reading 3 books a week again. (but I like that part, and summer is one week away, I can read all I want to!)

Watched "The Reader" last night on a recommendation by Nomad. Good film----------it's a shame that a man's life was so unhappy due to a affair that he had with an older woman when he was a teenager.

Choke.Not for everyone but i liked it,strange,dark,sexy and humorous..or is it just me? Interesting final scene featuring a Radiohead track! 3 popcorn kernels.

Umm Jupiter, I have a trademark on the popcorn kernels. You are in violation.

I think junior mints and medium sprite is free.

Glad you liked it.

Ive had about enough of Kate Winslet though.

Between Titanic and this I just dont want to see her naked anymore.

Gee and i had named it the Nomad scale!! Well then being an aussie i will have to use the "Jaffa Scale"which is a small candy coated choc ball that would be dropped to the floor and rolled noisily down the aisle at crucial moments of a film to break the tension!

Watched Mirrors earlier tonight on dvd. The opening scene looked promising, but after that, it never really went anywhere. A bit disappointing really, that said, I'd probably give it 6/10.

Yes, although it was more suspense than horror. I prefer half and half really, but there was more of one, and not enough of the other. I'm weird like that.

Nobody does horror quite like Sam Raimi, so I'm looking forward to seeing Drag me back to hell. It has very good reviews, from what I've been reading.

I can't do horror, but can handle horror-drama/suspense.

I went to see Night at the Museum 2 yesterday with my son. I thought it was pretty funny, and it was nice to get out of the house just for fun.

Oh Chonsi,

I'm looking forward to seeing Museum 2, but I'll wait until it comes on dvd. I hate sitting in movie houses

I loved the 1st one.....every second of it:-4:wah: I also love Ben Stiller.

:-6 Did you watch "Meet the Focers" and "Meet the Parents?"....Loved both of those movies...

Last night I finally watched Harry Potter's "Chambers of Secrets" and Prisoner Of Azkaban" and have ordered all the rest of the series from Netflix. Brilliant, brilliant movies:guitarist

I've also ordered the whole series of "John Adams"

Then I'll watch all of the "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy. I've read almost all of the books that Tolkien has written and have loved them.

That's my summer now until middle August...grilling, chilling and fun with family and friends:-6:p

Bedtime Stories.

I like Adam Sandler, but this was not very good. And, I can't stand Russell Brand anyway. 4/10 from me.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua... cutesie, but better done than most from this genre... and it has a good message.

Cotton Comes To Harlem

Transformers

Taxi

Twilight... I saw this before, but finally saw it a few nights ago on an HD bigscreen (blue-ray)... and OMG!!!! I couldn't watch it without noticing how poorly the makeup was done on the faces of the vampires... wow!

I'm going to see the right side of the bed...and will be back sometime tomorrow movie...it involves only one person and it's really called "I'm crashing into my comfy bed". I will dream the night away and won't really know what I dreamed about unless....:yh_rotfl
