I can't believe I haven't seen Reservoir Dogs before. I thought it was awesome. I think Tarantino is awesome. We watched this 2 or 3 weeks ago, when I was being lazy and stopped noting the movies I watched, and consequently forgot what happened at the very end. Did everyone die? I do remember that one of my favorite parts though was when they were given their names, and Mr. Pink asked why he was Pink.

How many times did this story get made into a movie? There were 3 different ones in a row in the Recent Releases section at Blockbuster when we went in the other day, and then there was this one, which I for some reason added to our Netflix queue. The trailer was definitely better than the movie. I just couldn't get into it. If your child was trying to kill your wife, a wife you loved very much, would you tell her the truth that it's not really her child?

We watched this a couple of weekends ago. Of course it wasn't as good as the original American Pies, but it wasn't completely horrible either.

Okay, it was. But I think the soundtrack was pretty good.

It was just so.. bleh. Predictable. Lame. Obvious.

I liked that they brought back a couple of the characters from the original to tie into the movie though.

I added it to my Netflix queue out of curiosity when I saw it. We watched it over the weekend. There were reviews that said it wasn't that bad, that if you liked The Butterfly Effect but didn't like Ashton Kutcher, you'd like this better.

Not so much. There's a reason this never made it to theaters (if it did, I don't remember ever seeing trailers for it). Compared to the first one, this was so horrible. The main character kept changing the past for selfish reasons, not to help his friends like the Ashton's character did in the first one. The end set up for a part 3.

Nick, the main character, went back in time by looking at photos, which is kind of neat, but I liked how it worked in the first one better (reading old journals).

Just caught up on all the episodes from Season 1 that we haven't seen. We kept forgetting when it was on after they started changing the day and time. It's better on DVD anyway; no commercials and all the episodes at once.

And the extra pilot episode "Bad Karma" was great. It was like what the show would be if we were in the twilight zone.

When are the new episodes showing on tv? I think it's Wednesday but now I'm not so sure. And I keep forgetting what time too - 9:30? 8?

We finally got around to watching this  the other night, and it was as good as all the reviews said it was when it was first released in theaters.

My favorite was when they sang the duet Time's A Wastin'
A cake's no good if you don't mix the b batter and bakie it
And love's just a bubble if you don't take the trouble to make it

I brought the Nextflix envelope with me yesterday morning so I could return it, but I forgot to  drop it off in the mailbox when I went to lunch, and I forgot again today.. Note to self: don't forget tomorrow.

We watched this last week. Palindromes is about a 13-year old girl, Aviva (whose name is a palindrome), who badly wants to get pregnant. At first, I didn't get it – why did the actress playing Aviva keep changing? Why was she black as a child, but a white teenager? How did she go from fat to skinny from scene to scene? After I got used to that, and understood it better, I realized how well done the whole movie was. The ending was great – the story came full circle and she ended up where she started again (kind of like a palindrome).

This movie was just too cute. I almost cried at the beginning; it was so sad. I felt so bad for the kid. My dad died when I was 5, but having a parent choose to walk out on you has to be so much more painful.

It got less sad as the movie went on, and seeing the father and son bonding made me feel the opposite of what I felt in the beginning of the movie. I was totally cheering on the dad to win custody.

Another one of those movies I missed out on when I was a kid. I don't think the Babysitters Club stories ever got as exciting as the story in this movie. I liked it, as a good teen movie that I would have liked to watch when I was younger.

The college boy falling for the high school girl would have made me swoon back then. The only thing that really bothered me was at the end, with "Thor." First he didn't understand the kid and didn't know wtf she was talking about, but after she gave him her helmet, he was suddenly knew who and what she was referring to exactly.

You Stupid Man
It was funny at parts, and some of the characters weren't your typical ones (like the girl obsessed with astrology), but eh. I felt like this has just been done so many times, and it was too predictable. Milla Jovovich acted really well though.

Love Potion #9
I love the song, and loved the movie too. It was mostly predictable, but I didn't care. It was a cute movie. I thought it was funny that they made Diane (Sandra Bullock's character) look cuter and cuter in each scene as the movie progressed on.

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love potion number nine
Love potion number nine

ok, off to watch Adventures in Babysitting, then probably reorganize the Netflix queue.
