Proof: kinda wierd. How do you get the ideas for these movies? Sitting around and smoking pot, till suddenly: "Hey, I got it! Let's make a movie about a really important (and rather vague; something about prime numbers) mathematical proof of dubious authorship!"

Limbo: Good movie, I think. I'm not sure what to make of it right now, but usually I end up deciding I like those movies.

Bee movie. Interesting concept. Good animation. Jerry Seinfeld. It was all-right.

I've heard good reports about that movie.

Saw 10,000 B.C.- Good. I enjoyed it mighty well. Coulda been better for sure, but overall, pretty nice as a movie. Not a great history lesson as far as I could tell...

No Country for Old Men. Brilliant! I can see why it got an Oscar. The realism of the story is magnificent.

Certainly, IMO, the pinnacle (to date) for the Coen brothers. 'Twas an outstanding film. Truly the best I've seen on the big screen for a wee while.

Michael Clayton. Amazing film. Very well-acted. Good plot material, too.

I liked it, plus it's based on a true story so I feel I learned something.

I just rewatched "Galaxy Quest" - hilarious! I just LOVE the opening bit with all of Alan Rickman's hilarious disgusted expressions as he signs fans' autographs!! And the bit where the guy scrapes the starship on the way out of the port

"By Grapthar's Hammer......" *scowl* "....What a savings." LOL!!

Enchanted--Well done. Cute as a chick-flick, funny as a look at how the ideals of an animated world work in live-action. But I confess I don't see what the hype about Amy Adams is.

That's the plan. Knowing me, I'll watch HB II a few times in theaters. lol

Just saw 10,000 B.C.~ pretty good. Charaters were likable, but I'm sure it wasn't too much of a history lesson. Just a movie


I know it's not a movie, but I just finished House: Season One. Me likey even more.
