i really want to see slumdog millionaire, but i have a hard time getting DH out to the movies. he likes to wait till their on demand and watch in his media rm. think he' just likes the pause feature a bit too much.

i'm a big coen brother fan, and saw burn after reading this wkend. not one of their best, but i do like john malkovich... he played a great drunk:)

Burn After Reading was crazy. I loved it. Twists and turns and just crazy.

it was !! & i'm not so much a brad pitt fan, but he was a riot!

I love going to the movies but I really think I love renting them more..the last few movies we saw were:

Coraline which kinda scared me lol and I don't really think it's a kids movie but I may just be a big wienie.

Revolutionary Road I loved it! I thought it was great!

And He's Just Not That Into You which I hated but I'm not really a "chick flick" kinda gal.

Me, me! I loved it. I thought it was the kind of movie that is more than the sum of its parts and, to me, that's the sign of a great movie.

I thought it made India seem really alive, too. I hadn't been that interested in visiting it before this from watching it on the Amazing Race.

I was so happy when Slumdog Millionaire won all kinds of awards. I think I may go home and make some more Madras Deviled Eggs to celebrate.

Did anyone catch Hugh Jackman at the grammy's?

He was so wonderful! I was very impressed with his singing and playfulness...he's my new hollywood fav.

Thanks all for reply about SDM. I think I have to go see it now. I'll give my 2 cents here after I do.

I didn't see the Grammy's, and it was the first time in years...

Okay that just made me LOL!

~~Me. :-)

My bf and I really have a hard time picking movies to rent. He likes the guy movies of course, (action type) and sci fi. I hate either of those type of movies.

I like comedies and dramas. We both liked Grand Torino. Those are the types of movies we can watch together.

I saw Slum Dog and thought it was a good movie. I saw it because I figured it would win the award. I didn't think it was as good as "the Best Movie of the Year"

Nobody has mentioned Changling. That was a good movie.

I am lucky that it's really cheap to go to the movies here, so I go often. It would be nice to find more that I could see with the bf, but mostly I go with my other friends.

I hope this thread keeps going so I can write down some ideas of movies to rent. I am always walking around Blockbuster in a daze, not knowing what to get. I want to rent Crash, because bf has never seen it, but it's always out.

Got to goal but maintenance was a
work in progress!

Band to sleeve revision surgery 4-29-09.
maintenance is so much less work!

i thought he was great - but he was SLAMMED in reviews, as corny....

so - last night DH thought diner & a movie (movie being at home of course). the best nap of my life: Body of Lies (russell crowe / lenoardo dicaprio). GREAT acting, BAD screenplay - way too long, i fell asleep 1:30 in & DH said i missed nothing.

Thread Starter

I think that's why I'm not pulled by those movies. It really needs to keep my attention. I've tried to get through a couple movies, thinking I just fell asleep because I was tired, exhausted, etc - but I just can't.

watched a few this wkend w/a sick hubby:

* there will be blood - a long movie but FANTASTIC
* sleepy hollow - how did i miss this one!
* pineapple express - highly overrated
* W - had zero expectations, i enjoyed it
* mama mia - movie so/so; am an abba fan, so i enjoyed the music

Okay, this weekend I rented and actually watched the following:

Body of Lies (Awesome!)
Changling (Awesome!)
Baby Mamma (Okay)
Flash of Genius( Good)

Lulu, I love Abba. Bought the movie and have the Abba CD. Love it!

Momma Mia was okay, but like ya'll, I love the music.

My girls and I are planning a ladies night with wine and Momma Mia sing along. :)

Will there be a pillow fight later in the evening?
