Just came home from seeing Breaking Dawn Pt. 1.... okay so it's not going to win any Oscars, but if you've read the books I thought it was pretty good, moved along and kept true to the story.

Go Team Edward!

We watched Horrible Bosses last night.....it was pretty funny, not 'The Hangover' funny by any means, but good.

Jennifer Aniston plays a bit out of character...she was great at a sexually harassing boss who takes harassment to the next level.

Lots of big (and not so big, but recognizable) names in this, almost cameos, some of them...Jaime Foxx, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Ron White....Colin Farrell was priceless as a cokehead with a terrible comb-over.

Going to watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean 4 tonight or sometime this week.

I had wanted to see Sarah's Key when it was first released, but my wife wanted to read the book first. She still has not read the book but we watched the film this week. It's a French film about the 1942 Vél’ d’hiv’ Round-up, in which the French police rounded up Jews, who were then deported to the death camps in Poland. Very emotional film about an incident I was not very familiar with. Kristin Scott Thomas did an outstanding job in the lead role.

We agree, we liked Sarah's Key too but it still haunts me. Sophie's Choice did them same thing. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that it really happened and people were forced into making similar decisions. I believe it, dont get me wrong, but I "just can't believe" humans did that to people. How on earth did they get that screwed up? Anywhoo, on to a lighter subject.... We watched A Madea Christmas and loved it. We are Tyler Perry fans and love his character Madea. So if anyone out there is a fan, this is another fun movie!

I don't know if it was mentioned earlier, but I watched "Winter's Bone" a couple of days ago and it was awesome.

Who was looking for good documentaries to watch? Look for "Paper Clips". It's about a rural Tennessee middle school's Holocaust history project. What they did was amazing.

watched "life in a day' absolutely fascinating

Hangover 2... Not as good as the first, but a must see.

actran · 12-11-2011

We watched "Change Up" which was pretty freakin' hysterical (until the end where they try to deliver a "message").

I just love Robert Downey Junior as Holmes....especially in the shirtless fight scenes....mmmm.

And last night we watched The Great Buck Howard. What a cute little movie!

Colin Hanks was the star...and his dad Tom played his father in the movie, nice touch. He won't ever be the star his dad is, but he did a very capable job in this movie, as did Emily Blunt, John Malkovich (like always) and Steve Zahn. Lots of funny little star cameos. Fun movie.

The Great Buck Howard (2008) - IMDb

We saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie today- A Game of Shadows....it was great! Perhaps even better than the first one with Downey Jr. and Law...

Great! I have seen the previews, by now (must have asked that awhile ago!) and it looks good. I love the style/feel of those movies. Can't wait to see it.

We watched the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean movie last night and we were both underwhelmed...'disjointed' was Don's description....hard to follow, just more of the same Johnny Depp swishing around.

Penelope Cruz was gorgeous and sexy as ever, though and the mermaid scenes were VERY cool...vampire mermaids!

This years Christmas Day movie was The Descendants. George Clooney did a wonderful job IMO and I liked the movie overall, but not one of my top films of they year. It's an indie film and I think at times they tried to hard to bring that point home.

At noon we have a scheduled appointment with Lisbeth Salander.

Been waiting a while for any good big budget blockbuster to come out.
Saw the new Mission impossible on Thursday....Just OK, Tom Cruise in kind of at the end of his action career. IMO.. The scenes in Dubai were very cool though.

Then on a whim Friday, drove the forty miles to a new super upscale theatre to see Lisbeth. Well worth the trip, very well done and just non-stop. Not sure if you could keep up if you hadn't read the book. I liked the casting a lot, especially Robin Wright.....well, I just like her any way

She's my Jenny

I've seen and read the trilogy. I'm interested in seeing this interpretation of the first book, and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

Ditto on that

My son went with me and also enjoyed them even though he had not read any of the books.

He had no idea what to expect, but he said "that was good but super twisted"
