Next I am going to watch The Fountian. It is PG 13 so I think I can watch it around my kids.

Thanks. Carrie

Permalink Reply by Aces / Chawk on May 20, 2008 at 7:07pm: I saw it a couple of months ago too. Actually, I went on to IMDB and read as much as I could about it afterwards and got a lot of different opinions from there.

A friend of mine with two middle-school-aged kids almost put that movie on with the kids in the room. I doubt they would have followed the events, but my friend (a high strung worrier-mom) definitely would have freaked that the kids might subconsciously pick up on it and become psyckokillers.

Last night I finally watched Hotel Rwanda. It was excellent, but you knew that.

Coming up next - Sunshine, Battlestar Galactica Season 3 Disc 4, and The Tick
I'm intrigued by the wide range of opinions about Sunshine. Gotta see for myself.

Permalink Reply by Aces / Chawk on May 20, 2008 at 7:08pm: The Tick - yeah!!! Great series.

Permalink Reply by Snorii on May 20, 2008 at 1:39pm: I watched Ugetsu last night and I just didn't like it. I just don't like watching stupid people, but I really did try to give it a chance to be a great film like others tell me it is.

I also saw Jean Renoir's Grand Illusion and really enjoyed it. It is easy to see where other prison break movies get their inspiration from this.

Finally starting Heroes: Season 1, but I'm only three episodes in so far.

Up next will be more Heroes, possibly Murder by Death, The Mission, and Joyeux Noel

Grande Illusion: fantastic.

The Mission: I really struggled with it.

Great heavy duty stuff!
