I liked Little Miss Sunshine and Notes on a Scandal.

We just say Blades of glory. Yea it was stupid and twisted. The most interesting part was the cameo appearances of famous but forgotten Olympic ex-skaters. It took us almost an hour to remember Scott's last name. Also surprising what passes for PG-13 these days.

gotta agree on the 86 anything with W. Ferrell. He is nausiating.
Anytime I see him in on tv or a movie all I want to do is punch his lights out for acting like such a prick.... I liked CLERKS II - but it is a little dirty.... ..

I'd have to say that the best movie I have seen all year is The Departed. That was definitely one of Martin Scorcese's best films.
I also enjoyed Woddy Allens's last film, Scoop. Aside from the fact that he played a neurotic Jewish man from New York, I thought it was very original.

Take the grandkids to see a lot of movies and have been pretty dissappointed lately. Bridge to Terebithia and The Last Mimzy were both pretty bad IMHO. You still have a hard time beating the Pixar stuff for the kids, and of course Babe is still one of my favorites, along with The Princess Bride.

i have been boycotting woody allen ever since he married his step daughter as soon as she turned legal (after presumably having sex with her for a good while).

Blood Diamonds was good. Much better than I expected it to be.

I am waithing to get The Good Shepherd. Any reviews on that.
I thought the Departed was O.K., but not great. I thought it fell apart a little towards the end. Little Miss Sunshine was very entertaining.

The Departed? Was that a movie about cell phones?
Not too great, except for Leo's acting. Story line dragged, the violence seemed somewhat "edited" and the thing just didn't flow. Nothing in comparison to Casino or any other of his mobster movies. I've read that Little Miss Sunshine is worth seeing and a quirky little flick, something to rent on rainy, cold spring day.
