Slaughterhouse Five. I watched it 'instantly' on my computer via Netflix. I never read Vonnegut's story so I didn't know what to expect. Strange little movie, but I enjoyed it.

Just finished Five Fingers with Laurence Fishburne and Ryan Phillippe.

WOW, that was an unexpected ending.

I watched Hide and Seek the other night (on tv not dvd). Excellent film. Very spooky. Totally taken in by it and didn;'t see the twist coming at all!

If I tell you, that will spoil it!

It was cool, but not creepy cool like The Sixth Sense. Probably have to watch it again, but mainly to catch the M. Night cameo. I'd rate it somewhere between Signs and The Village (which I liked ... and not just because one of my cow orker's kids is in it, and my friend's sister owned the property where it was made, although that did help).

I love the local shots. "Hey, look, that's Limerick!"

Golden Boys. w/ David Carradine, Rip Torn, And Bruce Dern. Also starring Mariel Hemmingway. A little slow at times but in general a good flick.

Velvet Goldmine
Recommended by a cow orker, who despite working with me for three years, doesn't have a good sense of "what I'll really like." I rated it a 3/5, although I was probably being charitable because Christian Bale is in it.

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
Both cool and funny.

Can we talk about movies we download ourselves and then burn to DVD? If so, then I recently watched the schmaltz Brit scifi classic "The Day of the Triffids". Pure adolescent memory bliss.

Don't see why not ... I occasionally list movies I've watched on cable.

Try this version of Day of the Triffids if you can find a copy. It's very different from the 50s version. Actually was quite well done, IIRC.

Tonight, I made a dreadful mistake.

Dreadful in that I'm dealing with a lot with momwolf lately ...

I mean, I should have known better. There are only a few ways for such a movie to end, and it's usually badly. I had a couple of anticipatory sniffles at about an hour-twenty minutes, and then spent the last 15 minutes bawling and sniffling.

I watched Marley & Me.

Heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time.

Oh crap. I'm starting all over again, just thinking about it.
