Right now, I'm watching the Manchurian Candidate. They just drilled into the guy's head, and I'm pretty well grossed out, even though I saw the original several times.
 
I grew up in a household of old movie buffs - particularly mystery & horror. In fact, my parents have an entire room of their home devoted to a library of old mystery novels & film books.

That said, it's not surprising that I married a man also interested in old films (which, quite frankly are frequently the only good ones around). So, we have, LITERALLY, hundreds & hundreds & hundreds of DVD's & books about film - particularly mystery & horror. The classic horror - not the moronic slash-&-gore stuff that passes for horror these days. If it's old, &/or classic, & out on DVD, chances are more than excellent I have it - lol!! Sometimes in duplicate - lol!!

I also love good British mysteries, particularly the "Midsomer Murders" series. Well-written, well-acted, & new-age yet old-time (Agatha Christie style) country-house murders. Also the Helen Mirren "Prime Suspect" series.

What I like about them most is that you can watch them over & over (& I have all the ones currently available on DVD) & still catch something different. Very well done.
 
Went to the theatre and saw 300 (actually paid to get in so we could see it in digital) and then watched Silent Hill last night.

Loved 300. Will own it on DVD. Silent Hill? Well... I canceled the later recording of it on the DVR...

I cant wait to see 300! My friends saw it over the weekend and loved it.

Same here on Silent Hill, not impressed. :ermm:
 
Sunday we rented Little Miss Sunshine (hers) and Casino Royale (his).

The first was billed as a hilarious comedy and it was not. It was basically a remake of National Lampoon's Vacation with the dead relative and road trip from heck. The only thing missing was the dog.

Casino Royale was a formula Bond flick and as long as you go in with that mindset, you'll enjoy it.
 
Saw "The Descent" last night. Pretty decent creepy-flick, I thought.

Better than "The Grudge", but along that same ilk.
 
I did see Borat yesterday. Okay, I can laugh at rude and crude humours, which I did a lot with this film, but still... let's just say that IMO it would have been much better if they had made up a imaginary nation that doesn't really exist for the protagonist.
 
The last one that I went to see was Norbit. The last one that I saw on satellite was Silent Hill. Now that was a weird one.
 
Can you believe my DH & I watched "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"? Expecting it to be stupid, we weren't disappointed. But it was cute. Uma Thurman did a great job playing the neurotic super ex.

We were going to watch "Man of the Year" with Robin Williams. We got through the first 1/2 hour & had to stop. DH doesn't like Robin Williams & I couldn't really enjoy it with his comments. I'm going to give it a shot tonight.
 
Omigawd, Buck and I just finished watching Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Fantastic film and had Andrew Lloyd Webber written all over it. Of course, it was one of his babies. We watched it all the way through, almost on the edge of our seats through out, and were nearly out of breath when the final scene ended. This production had Donny Osmond starring as Joseph and he didn't disappoint. What a great film!! Enough to make us want to see the same story on stage. Watch it!!

P.S. The pharoah segment is tooooo much!!!

Can ya tell we enjoyed it? It was truly a blast!
 
Not a movie but a tv series on dvd we've been watching called Rescue Me, about NY firefighters. dh usually doesn't like watching anything firefighter related because it's usually blown so out of proportion and isn't in the slightest bit realistic. This show is different and a lot more life like. There is, however, some added drama. Character development and whatnot.
 
Just saw Friends with Money... interesting, different, kinda ends weird. I started to watch Silent Hill, but could not stay interested. May have to try and watch it again.
 
I watched Holiday the other night with Cameron Diaz.....it was pretty good. I wouldn't rent it again but if it was on t.v. and nothing else was on that peaked my interest I'd watch it again.
