She takes advantage of rich geisers and ends up falling in love with a poor/average guy that started the same after her.

Haha, Paranormal was funny and so not scary at all.
Man, I wouldn't have turned the tea kettle off, I would have left it and worried for if it shut off abruptly!

Yes!
Hahaha, I did like the touch of a daytime scene though! Good addition, the dog was sad though... Haha.

Haha, I just watched Braveheart too!
What the F is going on?
All watching the same things!!!

Tank Girl was amusing though, haha.
I watched Marie Antoinette and Gamer yesterday too though.
I'll have to watch Priceless, it sounds like my kind of movie! I watched Tank Girl once (actually it was more like once in bits and pieces). I didn't find it all that funny, and are those guys supposed to be cat people? Maybe I should watch the whole thing so that it will make sense.

Laci, you mean to say you have never seen Braveheart till just now? I love the end scene when he sees his wife... talk about a tear jerker!!!

Priceless was great! Haha, she looks good in longer hair too!

Yeah you kind of have to watch the whole thing haha. Tank Girl was just so quirky and off beat that I liked it even though there weren't THAT many funny parts. I liked that they broke into song and dance every so often haha. Actually they're kangaroo people! They look better when it shows the animated cartoon strip type things...


I liked Inception, but it was still predictable to me...
I liked Salt better, since I watched them in the same day. And I didn't think that all of the dream things, effects, and what was possible was actually that cool in Inception. It was, but it didn't amaze me that they did that stuff.

Haha, well I think we just topped night of sweetness...

Laci and I just watched Quills simultaneously and chatted about it during it, all while some 2,000 odd miles away from each other and 2 hours apart.

Hahaha, good movie!

Though there are some graphic parts for those of you that shy away from that sort of stuff...

Oh Star Wars!!!! I just love it (not the new ones though). I have the imperial march as my ringtone and its awesome!!!!!!! Also there is nothing more funny than a puppet Yoda beating up R2D2 over food!!!!!

I'll have to take a look at that.

I just got Crimson Rivers: Angels of the Apocalypse today, it's the sequel to Crimson Rivers. Which is a murder mystery type thing, love the suspense and acting.

Man do I love them Frenchies :)

Im looking forward to seeing the new Saw film. Its meant to be in 3D isnt it? Not sure when it comes out in the UK though. I would have thought fairly soon as the new films normally come out around Halloween dont they?

Yeah its out this Friday in Ireland, but personally i think the franchise has long lost its way and is just jumping on the whole 3D bandwagon that every second movie these days seems to be doing, i for one will not be watching it.

I really love (500) Days of Summer. I have seen it many times. I never thought that such ordinary story would turn into something extraordinary and touching in a unique way. Can totally relate to Tom Hansen. Perfect 10. :D

^(500) Days of Summer is amazing^
I love Zooey Daschanel movies.

I just watched The Truman Show (the ol' Jim C.) for the first time. It was odd.... but surprisingly interesting. Not bad... Yet not amazing. Close to amazing... yet not quite. haha... Did that make sense?

That made perfect sense to me Dum haha, go figure... I though the exact same thing of it. It wasn't absolutely amazing, but I love watching it haha.

I concur, Zooey Deschanel movies are the greatest; she's quirky.

Have you seen Oz?

I saw Saw 3D.

I'm not a 3D fan to begin with, I think it's a bunch of hooey balooey that wastes my money for some fuzzy vision.
I was kind of hoping that Saw would be cool in 3D, but I knew it wouldn't be... And therefor wasn't very let down... I would rather it in a crisp and clear picture. There were maybe, maybe, 5 parts that I enjoyed in 3D.

And yeah, Saw is coming to an end thankfully. I love the movies, but instead of a bunch of gruesome traps making people appreciate what they took for granted, it's about the investigation and it's turning to just talky talky.

Of course you would get me. haha...

Quirky is what i look for in movies/books/people! If i see a book/movie with the word QUIRKY in it... i have to get it. It's pathetic.

Oz? I dont think so....

I watched The Life Before Her Eyes (Evan Rachel Wood) it was pretty good. Sortof Lifetime-ish.... But it was alright.

Well watch Oz, it's a sort of play off of Wizard of Oz if you hadn't already guessed. Zooey Deschanel is in it, and it's about 3 hours long haha but so worth it.

I watched The Princess and the Frog hahaha.
I actually liked it a lot, I'm a big animated movie buff...
And I love the culture down in that region so I was just drawn in even more.
