What RSG?? You mean you didn't start at the beginning and read all the reviews??? :smile2::tt2:

1 - 5 rating where:

1 - I would rather remove my own eyeballs with a rusty knife than see that again. Time I will NEVER get back.

2 - ok as background noise if you are ironing or only partly listening

3 - alright movie; enjoyed it, but glad I didn't pay full price to see it at a theatre

4 - add it to the collection; good movie.

5 -oh why oh why can't they make more movies like this? This will stand the test of time for being a great movie.

I watched the Changeling last night. It was good but had some really sad moments. Definitely worth renting!

I watched a few while i was blahhhhing in bed.

Slumdog Millionaire: 3.8 stars.. It was good, but I don't think it was as good as it was made to be. It held my interest though, but just not *quite* a four star movie...

Role Models: 3.5 stars. I really liked this comedy! It's been awhile since a comedy has made me laugh like this. So, if you like senseless male hormonal toilet humor, this is your movie. ;o)

Seven Pounds: 5 stars and 2 thumbs WAY up!! Wow, this one blew me away! I was not expecting such a deep drama. Get out the kleenex.

well LilMiss, I can't see us going to a movie together anytime soon! Slumdog, I agree with the comment, but would still have rated it a 4. But 7lbs as a 5 is beyond me!

Only one movie this weekend - The Negotiator...3

[tapshoes 2]

Last night's movies:

Alone with her - 2.5 (Great premise, just thought it was a little overacted by male actor, little unrealistic near the end)

Valkyrie - 3. Despite Tom Cruise, a good movie but still could have been better.

Last night:

Marlee & Me: 4 Stars, but I'll never watch this movie again. Ever.

Last night:

Marlee & Me: 4 Stars, but I'll never watch this movie again. Ever.

I read the book and was reading a sad part at Jiffy Lube waiting on an oil change. I was bawling and tryin to be discreet - wasn't happening. The lady behind the counter made a comment about the book being that good, and I said, sobbing, "Y-y-e-s-s-s....It-is-gooooood!" sob. sob. sob.

So, yeah. I am hesitant to watch the movie - because 1) will it be as good? and 2) I need to buy tissues first.

Saw one movie over the weekend. We indulged in a "scary" flick and saw The Alphabet Killer with that chick from Dollhouse.

Yeah...scary movies sometimes just suck. I won't even rate this it was that bad.

We have 7 Pounds at home, but DH doesn't want to see it, so I'm waiting for some me time. Haven't gotten it yet.

hahahahahaha ,

can't see marlee & me - the book crushed me * can't imagine the movie ... i have a "marlee" & he's just now at the perfect age of 5, but the early yrs - i could have written the book.....not a graceful lab:)

[tapshoes 2]

Glou - a really bad movie is Doomsday. It is now my standard for horrid movies and all others are rated against it. So, the Alphabet Killer rated a 2...

[tapshoes 2]

Weird combo of movies last night:

The China Syndrome - 4 (spookily prescient of the Chernobyl disaster)

11:14 - 2.

[tapshoes 2]

Yesterday:

The Rainmaker - 2

Echelon Conspiracy - 2

Sabrina (the original) - 3
