Were you serious? Watched part of it last night. One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. I'm at the part where the guy breaks into the Pouns country and shacks up.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs - Watched it with my daughter. Was so-so. I have a lot of students who like this movie, but I found it uninteresting.

Leap Year - Typical chick flick, but was enjoyable to watch with the wife.

District 9 - Just started watching it. One of the weirdest flicks I've ever seen. Don't like the way the story line and camera shots are set up. (Interviews, etc.)

Pandorum - Decent movie, but I feel like I've seen a similar story somewhere.

More Than a Game (LBJ) - Good flick. Interesting to hear their story.

Yes I am serious and it's very good. Very well done for how small the budget was. I'm not alone in thinking it was one of the best movies of the year. It was nominated for best picture at the Oscars and is one of only three movies ever to receive the "better than sex" rating on spill.com

I wonder if the District 9 budget figures are legit...if so they did a great job of getting production value for the cost.

Watched a little more of it and it's growing on me. Still haven't finished it. Oh, life with kids.

Watched "the homecoming" last night because that was about all that was left at The Red Box. Pretty good movie but could have used some nudity.

Watched "the invention of lying" and "when in Rome", don't waste your time on either.

Tomorrow night = Invictus

Finished The Lovely Bones. Don't like how it ended. Spoiler alert... they never find the girls bones. The family finds out who the murderer is, but they don't get to be the ones to bring him to justice. Don't like that part.

Watched Halloween II (Rob Zombie). Different movie. Not as overly sadistic as his other movies. Not bad for a slasher film.

Watched The A-Team yesterday myself. I actually thought it was a pretty good movie. Got Clash Of The Titans, Shutter Island, and The Crazies on the agenda today if I don't get into anything.
