Other weekend catchups
June 3rd, 2008We went to the auction sale on Saturday morning at a 180 year old farm house near here. There were soooo many blackflies out that we checked out the items and wussed out and dashed back to the blackfly-free zone in the car.
The farm house was a humbl… more »
We have a winner!
March 23rd, 2008We watched the two movies and one of them clearly stood out as the best of the bunch!
The winner is....
Mr. Brooks - This movie stars Kevin Costner and he's not playing a hero and he isn't out in the prairies and it isn't 3+ hours long! You'll li… more »
Long Weekend = Movie Rentals!
March 21st, 2008I rented 4 movies yesterday. So far we haven't done so well. We watched 2 last night:
I Am Legend
Interesting idea for a movie. The premise - a Dr. discovers she can cure cancer by modifying a virus. Unfortunately that virus wiped out almost ever… more »
Eastern Promises
January 20th, 2008Another movie that was given a 7.9/10 on IMDB.com, but I give it a 2/5.
It had some violence and gore. Jeff said he had to clench his fists a few times. I screamed out loud a couple times.
It is set in London, and is about a baby, a nurse, some R… more »

Shooter
April 1st, 2007Last night Jeff and I went to see Shooter at the theatre. It stars Mark Wahlberg, and Danny Glover. Michael Peña was fantastic in it too.
I give it an 8/10. Jeff gave it a 7/10. It was totally unrealistic, but a good action flick. There were no sl… more »
Wild Hogs
March 18th, 2007I twisted Jeff's arm tonight to go see "Wild Hogs". I thought we had a 2 for 1 coupon, but those corporate buggers put "valid on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday only" in the fine print. :>
I liked the movie. It was a fun laughable movie. Nothing too… more »

March 10th, 2007Dad sent me a link to a movie today. Well worth watching this one. It's called "The Great Global Warming Swindle".
The documentary, by film-maker Martin Durkin, looks into Global Warming. Scientists are interviewed. Al Gore's farce of an argumen… more »
