I have read all of Emily Giffin's books and I thought Something Borrowed was pretty good. I have hoped they would make a Something Blue since they showed Darcy going to London during the closing credits, but I haven't heard anything about it.

We are waiting on Season 2 of Treme.

I just bought Something Borrowed. I saw it twice in theaters. It was soooo good!

I saw that during the credits and think they will make it Something Blue because of that clip. It said "To Be Continued" at the bottom of the clip at the end.

And I did cancel this weekend, after I realized that no one in the family had watched anything on Netflix for 2+ months.

Add her other books to your summer reading list. They are light, fun books. Perfect for pool or beach reading!

I just started watching The Killing...hmmmm

I just got The Help and Out of the Ashes in the mail today :) I have to get some homework done tonight so I can watch them this weekend.

I have a lot of movies in queue. Right now, I'm getting ready to watch "Fatal Charm". It looks like a good one, I just hope I'm not disappointed. I've been picking bad ones lately. Waiting for the popcorn to get done popping. It's "movie theater butter" flavor. Yummy! :p

Out of the Ashes was very intense. I just watched that one this weekend. Since my last post, I watched One for the Money and it was pretty true to the book! Most of the characters looked pretty similar to what I had pictured. It was light and funny, like the book.

"Tower Heist" was fun. Not a top notch revenge heist movie but still good enouigh.

Turned it off like 15 minutes into it, and I deleted like 4 movies from my queue that looked similar. That movie was awful. I knew it was going to be dumb when I saw that it was one of those old 80s movies that I never heard of. :rolleyes:

I just found a true story on Netflix. "Freeway Killer". It looks creepy. It says it's about some guy who was responsible for several murders from 1979-1980. I'm hoping it's scary, because I love scary movies. :)

Is there any way that something called "Freeway Killer" cannot be creepy? LOL

lol
True, but I was surprised. It was kind of scary, but not as scary as I thought it was going to be. I mean, he was driving one of those old creepy vans without any side windows. Vans like that have always creeped me out. The movie was really good, though.

Random thoughts on this movie -He was the first person in the state of California to die by lethal injection. I liked the movie, because a lot of people who commit crimes like this, or any crime for that matter, usually tell on themselves. It was funny watching how paranoid he had gotten once he knew the law was onto him. I used to be all for the death penalty, and then I was against it. But, after seeing this movie, it really made me angry. So, now I'm kind of in the middle. They caught this guy red-handed, and they were still trying to keep him from getting executed. For as long as I live, I will never understand that.

This was a great movie. What I like about Netflix is, it shows me other movies that I might like that are based on true stories like this one. I also have some more documentaries I have in my queue. The life of Marvin Gaye should be good, too. :)

The season ending episode really pissed me off.

I have a ton of movies in my queue, some of which I'm getting ready to watch, now. :)

Agreed. Unless they have a legitimate business name on the side, I don't see the purpose of those vans, except to hide whatever is happening inside. They DO look creepy.

My daughter read a book for her chemistry class...it was 100 cases of murderers who were caught using science. While she was reading it, every so often she'd stop and say, "listen to what THIS guy did...." Some of the people were jealous spouses, out to get the inheritance, etc., but some of them were really creepy.

Mr. KDR and I watched "Puncture" this weekend. I liked it. It was right up your alley, CG, being based on a true story and all.

Totally agree with you about the vans. And it's usually those really old ones with small circular windows that have some weirdo driving it, and probably someone tied up in the back of it, too. If I saw one of those things behind me, I wouldn't go directly to my apartment. No way. Old cars creep me out, too. lol I'm just a big scaredy cat. :p

I was watching something like that on Netflix, similar to what your daughter was reading about. It was about women who committed crimes by putting strange chemicals in food. The one that really creeped me out was the "Milkshake Killer"...creepy, creepy, creepy!

What was that one about?

Netflix random for tonight:
I just got done watching "Nightmare next door". IT. CREEPED. ME. OUT. The guy was a peeping tom who raped and murdered women. What really creeped me out was that he committed one of the crimes in Lansing, where I used to go to school. :eek: He moved to Raleigh, NC. and did it again. What really scared me was the fact that he left work early, broke into the woman's apartment, and waited for her to come home. He actually hid in the closet and watched her the entire day until she went to bed, and that's when he attacked her. So, all that time, she had no clue that there was a rapist in her home.

At first they matched 6 counts of his DNA or something like that, but they needed 13 to convict him. I'm not sure how that whole thing works, but they said something like that. I live in a really nice neighborhood, in a nice apartment, but from the looks of it, she did to. That's why I don't put anything past anyone in any neighborhood, because it can happen anywhere.

Right now, I'm too creeped out to sleep alone, tonight. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/109.gif So, I'm not letting Mr. go back to his place, tonight. I'm making him stay right here with me. :p

A pair of lawyers who take on health care companies for blocking hospitals from buying a safe needle (you can't accidentally prick and once it is used it can't be re-used), I think they called it SafePoint.

I don't wanna give away the whole movie, but of course there was some drama in the mix, especially with one of the lawyers.

ETA: CG, I bet you'd also be interested in "The Elephant in the Room" it's a fascinating, touching, and infuriating documentary about the explosion of dangerous wild animals being kept as household pets.

I haven't been on netflix in a minute. Sounds like they got some new shit.

I'd taken a bit of a Netflix sabbatical, but last night I watched "Shame."

I highly recommend it but I don't think I'll be watching it again.

Getting ready to watch The Hillside Strangler. It's based on a true story, so I hope it's creepy. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/109.gif

It is. It most definitely is.

Well, it most definitely wasn't scary, lol. :p I think I'm going to take a break from the true story murder mysteries, because they're not scary, and the only thing that they do is get me upset. Our justice system is a screwed up joke, that's based soley on money, it really is.



Hopefully, I can stay up to watch "Gone". At first I thought it was another recent movie, "Gone" that I saw at Emagine this year, but this one is different. Based on what it's about and the short preview, it looks creepy. :)

See, I think the true story ones are more scary because, well, they're true. Someone really did that. But, I think you prefer horror flicks, which I don't really like.

I watched like 5 minutes of it. I got too sleepy, so I'm going to watch it in a few.

Yep, I love horror movies. I mean, I like some true stories, like Amityville Horror, which is supposed be true. That movie creeped me out, especially the creepy music.

I still have to finish watching "Gone". But, I'm out of popcorn, so I'm going to have to make a trip to the store to get some. I just can't watch a movie without popcorn (movie theater butter flavor). Be back shortly. :p

I watched "The Perfect Host" last night. It was.........weird. Very weird.

I liked it, but I agree -- it was very odd.

I've been coming across some good ones, so far. I wonder what else is good. :)

Oooh, creepy! creepy! creepy! "Choose" looks creepy. It says "Grad student Fiona teams with her detective father to find a ghastly killer who forces his victims to choose between two gruesome fates". Kind of reminds me of "Saw" just based on what it says. "Saw" started getting really dumb, though. They should have just made one. Getting ready to watch "Choose". I hope it's scary. :)

I've been looking for American Gangster on netflix and for some reason it isn't listed. When I typed it in, it showed as not listed. Why a movie like that wouldn't be listed doesn't make sense.

I didn't watch the other movie I mentioned last night, but I did watch "Gone". It was very boring at the beginning, but it was one of those movies that I just couldn't turn off, because it just kept leading to more and more. It didn't get good until the end. It wasn't very good through the enitre movie, up until about 20 minutes before the ending. I was like "Really?" Sucks.

Getting ready to watch a movie called "The Lazarus Project". It's got Paul Walker in it, so I kind of figured it would be good.... Hopefully.

^ Report back! I've been meaning to watch that.

I'm going to see if I can squeeze in a good movie before I go to bed. :)

It was pretty good. I mean, you won't be disappointed.
