Open Water--- extremly psychological movie. Worth the rental $. You will never scuba dive again. Thumbs up.
Troy-- Brad Pitt. Thumbs up.
Wicker Park-- Too drawn out, boring. Thumbs down.
Manchurian Candidate--- Even tho its a remake, Denzel makes the movie. Thumbs up.
Collateral--Never quite takes off. Tom Cruise ugly with grey hair. Thumbs down.
Anchorman-- Sucked. Couldn't get past 15 mins. Thumbs WAY down.
King Arthur-- Not as good as Gladiator or Troy so Im giving this one half. No thumb up or down.
I had a lot of free time this weekend.

Sorry I have to disagree with you on Anchorman.
My wife and I laughed our heads off at this one.
We also watched Dodgeball last night. Laughed just as hard.
I guess you need to be a SNL fan to like these kinds of movies.
Tonight we will be watching Collateral.

Eyeball, I am a fan of SNL, and love Will Farrel (sp) that movie (anchorman) I just couldnt get into, believe me I love him in everything he has done.... OLD SCHOOL was awesome.
The Usual Suspects is an all time favorite, I love that movie, Kevin Spacey is great. I have a lot of fav movies, and Usual suspects in one of them.

Troy was good, but where was Odysseus?
Dodgeball was entertaining but stupid
50 First Dates was nice. hug your supporter if you have one.
A Day at the Races.... Great!
Flight of the Phoenix... the Original. GREAT!
Toy Story... Great! (babysitting duty)
Pulp Fiction. Weird
Spinal Tap. Fantastic
Usual Suspects. Good

Don't it suck having to watch those kiddie movies? [wink wink, nudge nudge] I just got The Dark Crystal and The Tigger Movie for, uh, my grand daughter. For a 17 month old - yeah right. Actually, I like watching a lot of the kid movies. I guess I'm just a kid at heart. Besides, the dialogue in a lot of them is more for the adults who are "forced" to see them with their kids.
Well, gotta go. Gonna try to find Fern Gully on DVD - for Sahara, of course.

Another good Denzel movie was "Man of Fire"
It sort of hints at the end that this was a true story. Starts off a little slow and then it is gripping.
Oh and the movie Open Water. Turns out I was on that same boat with the same female staff member that was in the movie, On holiday a couple of years ago in the Bahamas with my boss and my sister. I almost shat when I watched the movie. Well my sister and I only snorkled while my boss and his cronies dove. There was no way that boat could leave my sister and I behind as all you could see were our white arses bobbing up and down in the water. ( We are Englinsh)
I have no idea if that incident happened before or after we were on that boat.

My 11 year old watched Napoleon Dynamite three times over the weekend!
I was disappointed with The Stepford Wives and Dodgeball was pretty good.
I also enjoy anything with Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. Just so I can sit and watch them for 2 hours!!

Rented 2 movies over the weekend, "Resident Evil the Apocolypse" and "Saving Christmas".
I was surprised that I actually enjoyed "Saving Christmas" as the reviews I read were awful. It was a light and funny movie.
Resident Evil the Apocolypse was pretty damn cool. I cannot wait till the next one comes out! (and it better!)
