We second that!

I didn't expect to like it, boy was I wrong. Rolando thoroughly enjoyed it too.

A couple of older movies that are good to rent!~

The Shawshank Redemption: Special Edition (1994) Upstanding banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is framed for a double murder in the 1940s and begins a life sentence at the Shawshank prison, where he's befriended by an older inmate named Red (Morgan Freeman). During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates for his upstanding moral code and unquenchable sense of hope. Co-stars Gil Bellows and Bob Gunton (who's memorable as the amoral prison warden).    :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;

Keeping Mum:    (2005)  When housekeeper Grace Hawkins (Maggie Smith) arrives at the Goodfellow vicarage, she finds a reverend (Rowan Atkinson) too busy for sex, a bored wife (Kristin Scott Thomas) who's bedding her golf instructor (Patrick Swayze), a promiscuous teenage daughter and a bullied son. Little does the family know that their new "Mary Poppins" has a few tricks -- and secrets -- up her treacherous sleeve in this witty black comedy directed by Niall Johnson.  Pretty Funny!  :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;

Now Playing In Theaters Near You~

My friend Dean and I are both WWII buffs, so we go see all the related movies. 

Defiance  (2008) Daniel Craig stars as Tuvia Bielski, one of four Jewish brothers who escape from Poland into the forests of Belarus during World War II to lead a band of resistance fighters and create a safe haven for Jewish refugees. The real-life sanctuary established by the Bielski brothers saved more than 1,000 Jews from persecution and death. Edward Zwick directs this moving historical drama that also stars Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell and George MacKay.   :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;   :thumbup;   (5 stars)


Valkyrie (2009)  Wounded in Africa during World War II, Col. Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) returns to his native Germany and joins the Resistance, becoming involved in a daring plan to create a shadow government and assassinate Hitler. Soon, events dictate that he become a central player -- and he finds himself tasked with both leading the coup and personally killing Hitler. Based on true events, this drama co-stars Stephen Fry, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard.    :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;
I didn't like this movie as much because you forgot it was German when Tom Cruise talks perfect English and I already knew the ending because I know Hitler wasn't killed.

I keep forgetting to mention that AlohaBeth's friend is in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".  For those who were at the first Vegas meet up, that was the friend she kept meeting up with when she wasn't with us; Sergey, her mad Russian ballet friend.   The movie was great.  Brad Pitt was wonderful.  Interesting story line.

my sister (carlyn) and i saw benjamin button this afternoon. it was extremely good. i had forgotton about this post though and am not sure which was beth's friend. we both really, really enjoyed the movie though.

The whole family (me,husband,daughter 14 and son 12) went to see Gran Torino tonight.

I am not really a Clint Eastwood fan. Well his Dirty Harry days actually. I loved this movie and so did everyone else. Clint is great!  :thumbup; :thumbup; :thumbup; :thumbup; :thumbup;

Someone said "Seven Pounds" was a bad movie?  I have not seen it but I guess it has to do with "organ donation"??

Seven Pounds
(2008) PG-13
Distraught over his wife's death -- and convinced that his own actions had something to do with it -- a depressed IRS (Will Smith) agent begins plotting his suicide, vowing to improve the lives of seven strangers in the process. But a chance meeting with a woman who has a life-threatening heart defect (Rosario Dawson) threatens to derail his plans when, suddenly, their budding relationship feels a lot like love.

Let's hear what you think......

Some old ones i liked.

The Hidden -- Great car chase scene.

They Live --  Great fight scene.

I just recently in the last (5) years or so watched them both again.
They stood the test of time IMO.

The Secret Life of Bees - This is with Dakota Fanning which is a good little actress.  This is a deep movie with a lot of dark subjects (civil rights, child abuse, murder).  It kept my intrest, but I felt bad afterwards.  Kind of a downer...deep... movie; yet I'm glad I saw it.

I'll give it 3 Stars.   :thumbup;   :thumbup;  :thumbup;

Derailed (2005) This stars Jennifer Aniston.  A professional man is riding a train to work and meets this woman and they hit it off.  They meet again and go to a motel but what happens there is surprising.  The man has a wife and a daughter on dialysis.......  I won't tell you anymore.

Thriller.... 4 stars    :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;  :thumbup;

We saw "Taken" the other day.  Good movie, lots of action BUT my husband did not know it was about a girl going to Paris and being kidnapped.  He is now worried that AlohaBeth is going to be sold into prostitution!  :rofl;
