You kept those movie theaters in the black! Congratulations for helping our economy.

Wasn't bragging...

It's what Helen and I do most frequently for fun... Helps that I 've been studying movies/screenplays for several years and have several stories/scripts in various stages of completion. (One currently making the rounds.)

 

[Marc Chevalier]

And those aren't even the ones that you saw on DVD!

I've been there with books - fun, isn't it? Good luck!

 

[mysterygal]

You guys do watch a lot of movies! My list was a little shorter though...there were some there that I thought was a huge let down..
War of the Worlds
Brokeback Mountain (which had no idea what that movie was about until about 15 minutes into it )
Must love Dogs
Collaterol
The terminal

Movies & DVDs

And those aren't even the ones that you saw on DVD!

Funny you should mention that... My wife and I can NEVER find current movies to rent/buy on DVD. We see too many in the theater!

War of the Worlds
Brokeback Mountain
Must Love Dogs
Collateral
The Terminal

War of the Worlds scared me silly for some reason.

Brokeback... How COULD you have not known what that was about?

Must Love Dogs (Must love the actors.)

Collateral... Just generally a GREAT story.

The Terminal... (Must love the actors.)

 

[mysterygal]

War of the worlds..What bothered me mostly about this movie is the kid who plays Tom Cruises son...he was so dumb that (I usually don't do this during movies) I was actually yelling at him, telling him how dumb he was (like he can really hear me, I know)
Brokeback...honestly! thought it was a movie to a different preview, while my friend, also didn't know the story line, just remembered in the previews the pretty scenery...with that I'll stop right there
Must love dogs..was ok, but not something I'll ever buy to own...I am a huge John Cusak fan....but that was all that was going for the film
Collateral....just couldn't get into it
The Terminal...had some comedic parts but, again, not something I would ever buy to own...but I agree, the actors were what drew you to the movie...Tom Hanks did a good job at acting, but Catherine Zeta Jones was so so
