Couples Retreat.

Entertaining. Vince Vaughn was funny, like usual.

I Hope they serve beer in Hell.

One of the FUNNIEST movies I've seen my entire life. Then again I read the book years ago and know a little more about the characters... but overall I think anyone with a sense of humour should go see this ASAP. Slingblade (aka Drew in the flick) makes this movie.

Up. The 3D effect was neat but it got pretty uncomfortable after a while. As for the movie itself, I liked it.

I've seen a couple movies in Disney 3D now, including Up and the Toy Story double-feature, and I find it more distracting than anything. I haven't seen it used in any special way, and after 20 or 30 minutes I usually forget I'm even watching the movie in 3D.

I'm going to retract my statement on Paranormal Activity. When I first saw it, it was OK, and nicely executed for a documentary style movie. But I felt no fear when watching the movie. But after a few days, the movie had a lingering effect on me. My mind plays tricks on me at night, and I got the chills now, thanks to that stupid movie. It don't help that I do live in an ancient house, my animals have been acting strange as of late, and I do have a dormant fear of not death, but being stuck in some purgatory.

I haven't seen this film, but I didn't know where else to stick it:

I just saw a commercial for Disney's G-Force, and it dawned on me...

Why didn't they just make it a Rescue Rangers flick?

Licensing issues maybe? As in, "it costs too much, so let's make up our own characters"...

Mystic River.

Please watch this, it's a great movie with Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Lawrence Fishburne and Kevin Bacon. Definitely a new favorite.

Great film, definitely a favorite of mine. If you haven't already, check out "Gone Baby Gone". One of my favorite movies.

saw Zombie Land. LOVED IT! What a fun movie!

I also saw District 9. I got very sick because of all the motion so I really couldn't get into it....do agree the protagonist was a wuss/weenie!

I was actually thinking of seeing law abiding citizen. looked decent. I have no interest in Paranormal Activity as everyone seems to say it sucked.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('78 version)

Not a bad remake.

Lilo & Stitch - a fave of mine I'd not seen in a couple of years.
Bedtime Stories - Not bad, decent for a family film and I've always liked Sandler
The Hills Have Eyes II - The 2000's version. This wasn't altogether terrible, but I actually liked the first one much, much better.

For sure. I like asking people who have seen that what they'd do in that situation. I woulda...

Spoiler:
gotten the girl back, like he did. I dunno, I know the mother seemed like a bitch, but I believe there's a right way of doing things. Taking her daughter away like that with no closure is not the right way. Like, if she fails as a mother again, THEN take her away again. LEGALLY.

I definitely would've taken her away from Morgan Freeman too because you can't just steal a kid. The mom f*cked up/is f*cked up and doesn't deserve that second chance. It's a young child's life we're dealing with.
