    I don't know about any of the movies that are currently out, but we did just watch The Goonies. What a classic!!! They really don't make movies like that anymore, but if you like The Goonies, I'd recommend Super 8, which came out last year.

    I love all the Toy Story movies, Harry Potter, and my newest favorite is the new Muppets movie! Since some of us seem to be on a "kids movie" kick, I'd definitely recommend that. It's not in theatres anymore, and I would hope you'd have a general understanding of how the Muppets operate before you go see it. For Muppets fans, it's awesome. Way better than the last couple of Muppet movies that came out in recent years. Classic.

    And as far as horror movies go, the last one I saw was The Others (on Netflix), and I really liked that too.

    If you like Meryl Streep go see the Iron Lady. She was amazing in that movie. The plot was a little so so but she was great. Red Tails was good except the plot was pretty predictable.

    I thought The Others' twist was really intelligent and creative, although you could see it coming half way through the film because of the seance scenes.

    I'm hot to trot to see Super 8. Heard it was interesting.

    Like Meryl Streep, since seeing her in both Mama Mia! and that movie about Julia Child with Amy Adams.

    Last horror movie - The Rite and The Last Exorcism.

    GWDT was awesome. I saw it last week. I then came home and stayed up all night "streaming" the three swedish versions of the trilogy. I thought both versions were great. Tonight I watched Ben Alfeck's "heist" movie "the Town". It was pretty good but not my fav type of movie.

    This won't rock your world but I enjoyed it, "The Company Men". Has a great cast of stars. I love the way it starts. This young executive comes into work late bragging about his golf game that morning. A few minutes later he is being escorted out with his box of personal items. When they look out over the parking lot you can see about a dozen employees carrying their boxes. From then on it is the heart felt trial and tribulations of looking for work and of rejection. Very good movie for those that have been unemployed.

    OMG, saw that a few weeks ago. I'm not a Afflect fan by any means, but I love me some Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper (I know, weird).

    It was a decent movie but my question is why does Chris Cooper always have to die some horrible depressing death in every single one of his movies???

    Still love his acting...

    fun movie of the week "Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog" streamed Netflix
    Good and Surprising movie of the week "Lincoln Lawyer" rented on Blu*ray

    Movies for this weekend:

    Cowboys and Aliens
    &
    Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    I plan on getting a Xbox this summer when the Star Wars Collector's one comes out (remarkably around my birthday...Huzzah, hubby already has the hint). Xbox that makes R2D2 sounds, and a gold controller like C3PO....okay...I admit I am a fanboy... :)

    Hey -

    I would like to recommend for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, The King's Speech.

    I'm a huge Geoffrey Rush fan (love, love, love Barbossa) and he's excellent in that movie, as is Colin Firth.

    Love older men who show so much integrity and class. Such a turn-on.... :blushing:

    Love Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog! Cowboys and Aliens and Rise of the Planet of the Apes were both great. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was better in my opinion, but both were interesting and fun. ...And I might have to get a new C3PO Xbox controller for our Xbox.

    One fun thing about the Xbox is the Kinect. I played Dance Central tonight for 30 minutes and that's a great workout, especially if you hate working out and you've got mad dancing-in-your-living-room skills. :)

    I really liked Rise of the Planet of the Apes! Still looking for family time to watch Cowboys and Aliens! I am looking forward to the new xbox. I have a hard time psyching myself up to work out, and I have pretty bad dancing in the living room skills! But looking forward to trying!
