- We loved it, but then we have every version we have ever seen. Lots of HD/DVD extras.

OMG I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this! I watched it 5 times (so lame I know) before returning it to Blockbuster. So need to buy it.

Mini-Hijack: DaemonSeid, I LOVE your signature!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the schedule thread:

I love my netflix, I just wish more of the movies I want to watch were available via streaming. The problem I have right now is that my Roku and wireless router have "issues" with streaming at a quick pace. Obviously much faster via my laptop.

I watched Skyline recently. So LAME! I kept hoping it would get better, so I kept watching and instead I was like "really". It was so dumb. 2 hours of my life that I will never get back.

Just watched The Lincoln Lawyer. I thought it was great.

I usually think of Matthew McConaughey as the shirtless, romantic comedy guy, but he did a great job in this film.

Dear Zachary. I challenge you to watch it without crying.

Deep In The Valley

This movie was so off the wall that it was enjoyable. Basic premise: A porn machine malfunctions and sends 2 friends to the "cities" where the porns take place.

Can't make this shit up.

Something Borrowed was something awful. I turned it off after about 10 minutes. If it wasn't for Jim from the Office and the hot fiance it would have been 5 minutes.

Had you read the book?

ETA: After I typed this, I found this link

The house, which has been vacant since being sold in 2006, will be featured in the upcoming film called Roslyn, a short suspense-thriller about a frat prank that goes wrong, according a film crew member.

I wrote this years ago and FINALLY got around to watching the movie, titled Brotherhood.

I wasn't expecting much from it, but I really enjoyed it. I noticed a few things that were specific to my alma mater's city, and the story and acting were good enough to keep me entertained.

"Quarantine 2: Terminal". Just finished watching it. I guess it never made it to the big screen. Funny how the first one did, because it wasn't as good as the second. A must see for those who like creepy movies about the spread of disease.

I watched a bunch of movies this weekend. I finally watched The King's Speech. I had no idea what it was actually about, only that it had won a bunch of awards. Wow! I loved it! I also watched Something Borrowed, which was cute and, I think, pretty close to the book (although I read the book a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago and don't remember details). Then I watched another movie but I don't remember the name.Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore and that guy.. and they meet in NYC but she has to go back to California so they have a long distance relationship. The last two were both cute and entertaining but nothing spectacularly unique or anything.

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.

I think we may cancel and stream through Amazon.

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