I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. I’ve actually watched a few that were pretty good so I thought I’d share the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Flightplan I know, this movie has been out for a while. This is just the first time I’ve actually watched it. It was really good. I really enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it.

Friends with Money Waste of your time. This money SUCKED big time. I like Jennifer Aniston so I was sure I’d like this movie. Not even close. It was bad. (Although, not even close to how horrible Margot at the Wedding was.)

Next I watched Proof. I actually saw a preview for it on another movie and thought it looked good. Nope. Another disappointment.

See, I’m being honest with you and saving you some time by telling you the bad but I have watched some good movies so keep reading. :)

Witless Protection was the next movie that showed up. I know you’re thinking well, duh. But, I like Larry the Cable Guy so I thought it would be funny. Nope. Another bad one.

With this bad run I’m just glad I belong to Blockbuster online and didn’t pay for each of these rentals. Yes, I pay the monthly fee but it’s a lot cheaper than each individual rental at the store. Plus, I got some other free rentals at the store which I can’t remember right off the top of my head.

National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets Finally my bad streak ended. I had my doubts about this movie. I liked the first one but it had an ending so I wasn’t sure how they’d pull off a #2. It worked, and the movie was good. Definitely one to rent.

Annapolis a little predictable but it was good. If you can’t find something else that looks interesting this one is worth an evening. But, don’t drop other plans to watch it.

Rumor Has It… another disappointment but not nearly as bad as Definitely Maybe which should have been called Definitely Maybe NOT!

Honestly, by this point I’ve begun to doubt my ability to pick out movies. Seriously, I’ve watched so many that SUCKED that I was on the verge of canceling my Blockbuster membership and sleeping instead. Luckily my next arrival was An Unfinished Life which was extremely good. Followed by 21 and The Bank Job which both were worth sticking through my bad run.

Next I got Fool’s Gold and The Great Debaters which were both winners. The next arrival was Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns which was good for a light evening. Followed by Chaos and Confidence which were both good.  (I watched Chaos and Confidence after each other and I’d recommend putting something else between them but that’s just because I don’t enjoy watching two crime movies one after the other.)

So, that’s what I’ve been doing over the past two months.

Lanel,
Alicia at work said that Stop Loss was really good. I have been waiting for a time when we were going to be home to go over and rent it. Let me know if you have seen that and if not give me your opinion if you see if before me.
