yes, well I am afraid you will have to share him tiki....I like him too :D

He has a voice like buttah....

Shrek 2 - Excellent movie, lots of adult humor !! :s:

I loved Shrek 2! Saw it right before surgery. I've watched so many movies since surgery I can't even remember them all.

House of Sand and Fog - tear jerker, but very good. Ben Kingsley is a great actor.

Empire of the Sun. OH MY, watched this the same day as House of Sand and Fog. Cried too too much that day.

My House in Umbria - good movie, but different plot than what I expected.

The Rundown - light entertainment. The Rock is just great to watch in action, though.

Fliritng with Disaster - Ben Stiller movie. Funny! I had never even heard of it, don't know why.

Laurel Canyon - Christian Bale, Frances McDermond. Also a good movie. Kinda kinky.
Just a little.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'm blank. I hope to feel up to going to the movies next week. I can't wait to see about 10 movies!

Someone TOLD me about the House of Sand and Fog and it depressed me so much I had to tell them to shut up and then had to play a high speed hip hop CD just to shake the blues. I'm terrified of that movie.

Tiki.

I watched a good movie last night, though to me it was very scary. It was called "The Magdalane (sp?) Sisters" It's a true story about this place in Ireland they would send women who were unwed mothers or had in some way made their err.. maidenhood questionable. I don't want to give it all away or anything. The scariest part was probably not the movie, but the documentary about the real women that was on the DVD special features. It was really good, but so very sad. Because it was true. and they didn't close the last ones til 1996! Very sad scary story.

btw, Glad to hear there will be a number four movie.
Though I haven't seen number 3 yet. Hubby is so stubborn.

Awww Tiki! I understand how you feel. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have watched it.

Speaking of House of Sand and Fog - if anybody here has watched it, I have a question about 'something that happened' in the movie that I wasn't sure about how it happened, without giving anything away. If anybody cares to discuss it, let me know!

Saw The Chronicles of Riddick on Saturday night - fun action film, and Vin Diesel ain't too hard on the eyes either ;) good popcorn movie :corn:

Since we screwed up the movie times, My mom & I saw Raising Helen, instead of Stepford Wives.

Raising Helen was pretty cute. Plus I love Kate Hudson. and John Corbet is just adorable!

Noodles-I could listen to Antonio Banderos speak to me ANY day ...ALL day and night....purrr to me baby!!!!

Ohh me too... Yummmm yummm...purr for me baby!! Hahahahaha! :rofl:

Lizziness, I saw The Magdalene sisters a whle ago. Duble bill with Angela's Ashes. Both films made me want to smack priests and nuns afterwards! (sorry!). As you say these places were kept open until thelate 1960's. Also, in England at any rate, and I would imagine Ireland too, they used to put girls who "got into trouble" (what, by themselves!!) into mental institutions. There was a series on TV in UK about the British and all about sex. It featured an old lady who had been in a mental institution because she "got herself pregnant" - she was a maid and was raped by the head of the household. There were sad stories like hers and some funny ones - the weel to do lady who married beneath her and was presumably cut off by her family. Used to having servants do everything, the next morning after the wedding she waitied for breakfast in bed. So did her husband!!!! Most women knew nothing about sex , or cooking it seemed. Their mothers' answer to both was - "You will find out when you are married!"

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am not religious, or if I am it certainly isn't that particular religion, so it was just so shocking to me. Hubby was "raised catholic" and caught the last part of it was was apalled to learn it was a true story.
Some of the interviews on the DVD were from real people, and they were so sad. This lady was going to marry a soldier, but he got sent off to war and she was pregnant, and the place kept their letters from each other, put her kid in an orphanage and kept her there for years. She didn't find him again until she was an old lady. And another one went straight from orphanage to magdalene house because she was pretty and she would be tempting the boys if she stayed there. Give me a break!
The "you'll find out" method was still used for some families.My mom pretty much got the "you'll find out" treatment from her mom. Didn't know how to do laundry or much cooking or anything til after she was married. And she was a child of the 60's! Scary. But she turned out okay... eventually. :)

For those that like imports I watched an interesting one last night. A Japanese film called "Suicide Club" I'm really still not all that sure if I understood what happened, but maybe that's the point. :) It is certainly amusing, if nothing else. Though I don't think I'd buy it, or watch it again or anything. It was certainly not Ringu or Battle Royale, that's for sure. Though I think that is what they were going for...
