Straw Dogs
I thought this movie was TERRIBLE. Nothing at all happened for like the first hour, and by then, I was so bored, I did not care anymore. Did anyone like this? lol

Source Code
This was,, um, different. Had a good storyline, but was a little confusing at times.....felt bad for the guy near the end, very original, never saw anything like that before.....

Asking for money instead of gifts
A good friend of mine is getting married next year. Yesterday, I was over her place, and she asked me to read something. She handed me a piece of paper that said this on it: "If you were thinking of giving a gift, to help us on our way. A gift of cash, would really make our day. However, if you prefer to purchase a gift,…

Friends With Benefits
This was not too bad. Not my type of movie, and it had some pretty funny parts. I did not want to poke my own eyes out, so that means it was not bad for a rom-com.... The cast was amazing, lots of faces that you see often.....

Micro-chipping our children
I have heard this twice in recent weeks on TV. Yesterday, John Walsh was on The View, and he was saying that he does not understand why people are not more open to this. We micro chip our dogs and cats in case they get lost, so why not our children. The idea, is that if the child ever gets kidnapped, all you need to do, is…

The Harris Benedict Equation
I just saw this on TV this morning......you use it to figure out how many calories you burn in a day, and how many you need to maintain, gain or lose weight:..... Take a look: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/

Teenaged Girls Fashion
If that is what you can call it..... Ok, here is the story.... My 16 year old daughter went out to buy a dress and shoes for an event. She wanted to go shopping with her friend, instead of with me, so I told her to text me photos of anything she would want to buy, that I might think it not appropriate. She texted me a…

Whole Wheat Pasta
My nutritionist told me to switch to WW pasta.....but I have noticed it has just as many, sometimes more carbs than regular....and being diabetic, it is the carbs that are the issue....has anyone else noticed this?

Project Nim
Very well put together....but some parts are just totally heart wrenching.... A Chimp, taken from his mother, at less than two weeks old.....raised as human, along side a family, even breastfeed.....and then senselessly taken away and mistreated.....disturbing, and inhumane......parts of this made me smile and laugh, but…

Chernobyl Diaries
OMG this was TERRIBLE!! A bunch of cheap scares with no real storyline....I knew on more at the end, then I did at the beginning....waste of time....do not waste your time and money, IMO, would love to hear if someone has a different opinion of this though.....

Hostel III
I love this series, if you are a fan of torture porn, this is a movie, or three, for you. Ironically, the storyline in this one was pretty good....I LOVED the opening scene, and the buildup to the first murder is VERY intense. However, once the murder actually was happening, it was gross :( The very ending was a bit…

Dry Spells
I hate them! I just checked the movie listing for this upcoming week, (18th-24th) and still NOTHING I would go see. Most of the time, I go to the movies every week, or every other week....but this will make FOUR weeks with NOTHING to see.....I hate when this happens.....

Surgery at 300+ lbs + diabetic
I am having some minor surgery tomorrow.....and then a major one to follow..... I had a hard time finding a DR that would do the surgery, because I am 350lbs and have been a type one diabetic for 24 years.... Even though I have had 8 surgeries over the course of my life, being at this weight, and diabetic for so long, has…

Remakes
I am usually one to go see remakes of old movies that I loved. And there have been some really good ones, I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but if it was a good movie, and they redo it well, even if it is different, it can be fun. Some of the remakes I really liked were Last House On The Left I Spit On Your Grave…

Mayweather VS Cotto
What a GREAT fight....one of the best I have seen in a long time....who knew Cotto had it in him! Anyone else watch this last night? I was kinda surprised there was not already a thread about it.....

Original Sin
Alright. I never had any interest in this movie, until I read it was on a list of the top plot twists. I did not find it all that exciting, in fact, near the end, I started to fall asleep. Too much romance and love story, and not enough action. Wondering what others thought about this movie, and its 'plot twist'.

Binge Eating
I have a HUGE problem with this.... I can keep it in check for a period of time, and then I kinda lose it....and when I do, it happens for several days in a row before I can get it under control again. Currently, I have had a TERRIBLE last seven days.... I had surgery last Tuesday, and was really good and careful leading…

Cabin In The Woods
This is the last thing I saw.....and it was not bad....but it was VERY VERY strange. In fact, it has to be the weirdest movie I have ever seen..... I would say it is worth a watch, as long as you go in knowning it makes little sense..... I would have to say that I would like to see it again once it hits movie network, just…

Chimpanzee
This was the movie I saw this week..... Was not bad, but not as good as last year's Earth Day flick, African Cats, which was GREAT... Chimpanzee was a little slow in the beginning, and does become heartbreaking for a time......but I did leave feeling good at the end, so I guess that is all that matters..... Anyone else see…

Forum Guidelines
I do not want a bunch of rules and crap cramping our style, we are all adults here, and I am hoping we all act as such....the only thing I ask, is that when giving away something that is a major plot point, you put something like this before it: *******SPOILER ALERT******* and then continue on with your post.... Thanks!

Italian Pasta Dinners
I am a type one diabetic, for 24 years....so, the key to blood sugar control for me, is carb intake = insulin shots.... Here is the thing.... My nutritionist wants me to have 45-60 grams of carb per meal....which I can normally do....except for pasta night! We eat pasta about once a week (literally down from once a day…

New person question.....
I am fairly new here, only been a couple weeks, and was just wondering how or why a topic gets a little lock beside it, and what exactly that means..... Also, when someone quotes you and writes "THIS" under it, I am assuming they agree with you? In all the messages boards I have joined over the years, I have never seen…
