Movies where you did not like the characters.....
I watched I Don't Know How She Does It on the weekend......all I could think about, was what a terrible wife and mother the main character was. By the time she figured out that her kids were more important than anything else, it was too late, her daughter already hated her, and so did I. You would think that by the time…

I Don't Know How She Does It
She doesn't!!!! This is one of those movies where I disliked the main character so much, that by the time they did what they were suppose to do, I didn't care anymore. Take care of your kids better Kate! Little boring at times too......

A1C
I was very happy to hear from the DRs office today, that my A1C is down to 6.7% which if finally back in the perfect range.... For the last two years it ran between 7.1-7.6 so not terrible, but they really like to see it under 7 How is yours??

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
Not as good as the first one....left a few things unexplained, like why she was trying to kill (herself), and how she became the demon they made her out to be.....but not terrible.....

High Morning Readings
Sometimes, I am just baffled by what my bs does in the morning. Typically, I know my bs is going to be higher in the AM than it was when I went to bed. I take Levemir at night, but it still happens. Yesterday, I ate dinner pretty early, I was done by 5pm as I had a meeting to go to. Two hours after dinner, my bs was 7.0…

Paranormal Activity 4
WHAT CRAP!!! It left SO many unanswered questions, and the ending was just terrible..... Not only did I think it was horrible, but as I was leaving the theater, that is all you could hear anyone talking about was how stupid it was. Let me just add that I loved the first three, but they really dropped the ball on this one,…

Let's Go To Prison
Fair.....fluffy, but somewhat funny.....I think what held me more was cast, Dax Shepart and Will Arnett together were actually pretty good....
-
We Need To Talk About Kevin
Great story, but very, very choppy, and without any real explanation......this is almost like the 'bad seed' theory, but without investigation. The beginning was rather jumpy, to the point of confusion, but then as the movie went on, it was easier to follow.....not very detailed, leaves lots to your perception.....
-
Sinister
This movie could have been done better....it was interesting, creepy and paced well. I loved the ending. However, I did not feel that there was enough explaining of what exactly was going on. I think they could have done a much better job explaining the HOW and WHY, and that would have made the movie MUCH better.....
-
The House At The End Of The Street
At first I was not sure if I wanted to watch this movie.....I don't think the trailer did it justice. But then I started seeing things online about the great twist in it, and I am all for a twist. It started as your average movie, single mom and teenaged daughter move to a new place for a fresh start. They can now afford a…

Exercise before breakfast?
I tried this on a different forum, but no answers, so many I posted it in the wrong place, let me try again.... I am a type one diabetic, so I eat breakfast and lunch at roughly the same time every day. Typically, I wake up around 6am, have breakfast at 10am and lunch at 2pm. I want to start an exercise class at the Y, but…

Exercise before breakfast?
I am a type one diabetic, so I eat breakfast and lunch at roughly the same time every day. Typically, I wake up around 6am, have breakfast at 10am and lunch at 2pm. I want to start an exercise class at the Y, but it is at 9am.....is it ok to do an hour of exercise and then eat breakfast? Before ten am, all I have is tea…

The Possession
This is a pretty good movie....even better that I had read the true story behind it.....it is basically a Jewish Version of The Exorcist....very well done..... I read the story behind the box in Entertainment Weekly magazine, and knowning that story, made this one very interesting....anyway, I can't seem to find it online,…

What is considered a binge?
I am wondering what people in this group think. How much food is considered a binge? When is it no longer an extra snack, or just overeating....
-
So happy to find this group!
I have struggled with binge eating for a number of years now.....although I have been heavy all my life, I actually did not start binge eating until my late 20's when I got sick and was off work for 2.5 years. I did not even realize I was doing it, or having a problem, until the last year or so. I have now recolonized most…

The SItter
Not bad at all!! Had some super funny parts......reminded me a little bit of Adventures In Babysitting, with a little more R rated humor.....Jonah Hill is great, I am really starting to enjoy his comedy. Sam Rockwell was great in this too, almost didn't even realize it was him, just for a minute.....

Fright Night (1985)
OMG, this is TONS better than the remake....just watched it again tonight with my family, and even my teenaged daughter agreed that it was better......I cannot even express how much better the Evil Ed character is....I will admit that picking Christopher Mintz-Plasse to play him in the remake, was the best choice they had,…
-
The Watch
Was alright, not the best comedy ever, but it did certainly have some funny parts. The whole alien storyline was pretty cheesy lol
-
Diabetics and Heat
I learned something new today, I always knew that diabetics do not handle heat well, but never really knew why, just that the DR told me to be careful, so after a conversation with a friend, I decided to look it up, and here is what I learned: Dr. Adrienne Nassar, Mayo Clinic medical resident and lead author of the study,…

Ted
I finally went and saw this last night......it was, different. Funny, yes......some parts were VERY funny, I laughed quite hard a few times......other parts were kinda stupid, could have went without the whole Flash Gordon storyline.... There were LOTS of mistakes in the movie, but seeing as it was a fantasy type movie,…

Dawn Phenomenon
Is this a problem for anyone else? Cuz it is driving me MAD!!! Ok, here is the situation..... For a long time now, I have been tinkering with my evening Levemir shot (under a DRs care), to try and get my morning readings down. And I think I finally have it.....so, if I take 60 units of Levemir before bed, my bloodsugar…

Oz - The Great and Powerful
I just found out they are making a Wizard Of Oz prequel......here is the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yyywumlnhdw#! not sure what to think of this.....but I might have to go see it, even though it is not my usual type of movie.....

Final Destination 5
Not bad, esp for a fifth one.....nice little twist at the end.....wish I would have paid more attention to the clues!!

Remakes
How do you feel about remakes? I have mixed feelings myself. When a movie is remade from my younger years, I love to check it out, and see if it is up to par. Some of the better remakes, IMO, were, I Spit On Your Grave and Halloween.... One of the worse ones I have ever seen was Fright Night, that was just terrible....…
-
That's My Boy (Donny's Boy)
I laughed all the way.....this was actually much better than I expected. The cast was great....James Caan did an awesome job playing a part like I have never seen him. Vanilla Ice was pretty funny too. Will Forte, Rachel Dratch, Nick Swardson and Ana Gasteyer were all funny as ever. And Susan Sarandon fit into her part…
-
Jumping The Broom
What a great movie. Amazing cast, good plot, and storyline...... Much better than I had expected..... About two African American families, from different backgrounds, getting together for their children's wedding. Just the right mix of serious and funny.

Just wanted to see if there was anyone that might have missed it two months ago when I started the group.....its going pretty good....and just wanted to recruit a few more film buffs. If you love movies, all kinds of movies, and want to discuss a great, or even not so great movie after watching it, please join my group:…

A Better Life
"This country is a land of dreams. It can be a hard place, a cruel place. But it's where I work, and I dream of a better place for my son." What an amazing movie! I am SO glad that Demián Bichir won the Oscar for best actor, he deserved it. Make sure you bring your kleenex to this one, esp near the end. If you are a…
