That's a record for me in recent years. I used to take my children to matinees all the time but since they've grown I don't go to the theater as often. Anyway, I went to see Seven Pounds first and the first 20 minutes I had the Scooby Doo, Hurunh? thing going on and then in one frame I got where the whole thing was headed. Sort of.<BR/><BR/>The impact at the end was worth the confusion at the beginning ... I got two VERY POWERFUL messages from the movie. GREAT WATCH.<BR/><BR/>Then on a lighter note, we went to see Marley & Me. I had no idea it would be so, well, touching. I thought it was going to be all slapstick, which I don't generally care for but there wasn't anything else better to go see and in the end it was really a nice movie.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to ... <BR/>Gran Torino<BR/>He's Just NOT that into you<BR/>Mall Cop<BR/>Bride Wars<BR/><BR/>for now ...<BR/><BR/>:) Happy New Year Carly & Alan, Hendrix n Dylan!Nature's Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109812709915834595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-62599228029900112102009-01-04T10:07:00.000-05:002009-01-04T10:07:00.000-05:00In the Philippines, we have a film festival in Dec...In the Philippines, we have a film festival in December where only local films are screened. It runs for about 2 weeks. So I'm looking forward to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Bedtime Stories which open January 8. I'm also looking forward to Bride Wars and the latest Harry Potter film.docemdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342987031560133229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-67271523406913286332009-01-04T09:34:00.000-05:002009-01-04T09:34:00.000-05:00Funny Old Navy story!As for movies, I'm w/ Martha ...Funny Old Navy story!<BR/><BR/>As for movies, I'm w/ Martha re: your list.

The original is one of my all-time favs and I would love to see an updated version. I thought Keanu Reeves would make a perfect emotionless alien too. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm not as into movies as I used to be and am not familiar with too many of your movie choices. The new movie I would most want to see though would be Gran Torino.fdtatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556497275110191794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-10248890659917763672009-01-03T21:58:00.000-05:002009-01-03T21:58:00.000-05:00Hi Carly!

I think out of your choices I'd want to see the silly Mall Cop and Hotel For Dogs. I tend to go with what the kids would like.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you have had such a wonderful holiday season, bad kitties and all :-)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500564300569765406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-21353705377458459692009-01-03T17:22:00.000-05:002009-01-03T17:22:00.000-05:00What a funny review and how timely as I had Just h...What a funny review and how timely as I had Just hung up with my son after telling him what time that movie was showing at the theater. I called him back and read him your review. He is a real fan of cheesy horror flicks and sometimes even likes bad ones as he laughs throughout the entire things with another friend of his. I told him to call me and let me know if it was as terrible as you said, He will be happy either way, LOL.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465859477203553281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-5736492033478786932009-01-03T15:22:00.000-05:002009-01-03T15:22:00.000-05:00oh my ..
