I just saw Monsters vs Aliens in 3D. The movie was good; not a particularly memorable film, but funny. The 3D was also good, but the 3D of the midway section is forgettable. I think I'm more interested in gimmicky 3D than the more natural stuff this film has.

Instead of doing anything productive like grocery shopping or preparing the last lesson for my CCD class before the students start Confirmation practice, I spent most of the day watching Hallmark Channel's "Love Comes Softly" marathon which started at 9. Since Saturday is the only day I can sleep in, I woke up at 1 pm and joined the marathon in the third film, Love's Long Journey, so the next ten hours were spent in the company of Missie, Willie, Jeff, Colette, Belinda, Drew, and of course, Marty and Clark.

Anyway, for anyone interested, the movies in the "Love Comes Softly" series are:

Love Comes Softly (2003)

Love's Enduring Promise (2004)

Love's Long Journey (2005) - my favourite in the series.

Love's Abiding Joy (2006)

Love's Unending Legacy (2007)

Love's Unfolding Dream (2007)

Love Takes Wing (2009)

Love Finds A Home (2009) - this movie actually doesn't premiere until next week, and is the final one in the series.

I watched that too, the movie was average but it was the 3D that made me really want to see it, and it didn't disappoint.

Since last weekend I saw...

Monsters vs Aliens (3D) (Not a Shark Tale but not a Kung Fu Panda....a 'meh' film mostly. Also Roger Ebert was right this was the first Digital 3-D film where the 3-D was distracting to me.)

Race to Witch Mountain (I need to see this again.

)

Casino Royale (1954) (Mostly it was pretty darn bad but Peter Lorre)

Dr. No (Awesome!)

From Russia with Love (some pacing problems but very nice.)

Goldfinger (Also very good but surprisingly I prefer Dr. No)

I Love You, Man (Very funny but not Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I identified with Paul Rudd's character to an almost creepy degree.

)

I Could Never Be Your Woman (Cute. Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd look great and greater together.)

Yay! Down with DreamWorks!!!

That's all...I've been watching a lot of bonus features lately instead of movies, so I'll post what I watched in the appropriate thread...

Well, Dreamworks is beginning to come into their own, what with KFP and Madagascar, but Monsters was pretty average and the 3D not the greatest, as there was no "wow" factor.

Up, on the other hand, might look really good in 3D.

I finally watched my Lilo and Stitch: Big Wave Edition the other night. It was great, I forgot how funny that movie is.

It's not funny. I'm just smiling because he watched it, upon my request.

Taken - I really liked it! It went by really fast and had just the right amount of action. Liam Neeson gave a fantastic performance!

I had a spontaneous urge to watch these 3 again today:

The Princess Bride
Anastasia (1997)
Footloose

I'm weird like that.

While You Were Sleeping - I loved it! Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses, and I think this was her best role so far! Very cute, funny, and romantic.

Last Thurstday:

Last Chance Harvey Always a joy to see Dustin Hoffman acting! Nothing wrong with Emma Thompson either! Nice bittersweet little movie, 8/10

Since my "Love Comes Softly" marathon on Saturday, I've watched the following...

Hercules (1997) - every bit as good as I remembered it. It's not really that high up on my list of favourite Disney films (it's a mid-level film for me), but whenever I watch it, I thoroughly enjoy it. Last time I watched it was Summer of 2006 with some CP's, so I was due for another viewing.

Love's Enduring Promise (2004) - I still prefer Love's Long Journey, though it's always nice to see how Missie and Willie get together. A part of me wishes that January Jones continued in the role of Missie in the rest of the films instead of just doing one, but Erin Cottrell did a great job too.

Under the Greenwood Tree (2005) - I had rented the DVD before I got sick, and almost fittingly, rented it again after I got better. Both times I felt it was rather odd seeing Keeley Hawes in a period piece, I know her more for "Spooks" and "Ashes to Ashes". Even odder was seeing Ben Miles (who I mainly know from "Coupling" as Patrick) as a priest. Yet seeing James Murray ("Primeval", though I'm sure he's done other things) as working-class Dick Dewy wasn't as odd, though. Maybe because he looks like he fits right in to any time period, whereas the other two really seem like more contemporary actors.

When Harry Met Sally (1989) - as always, I made sure to stop it before they make the biggest mistake of their lives and the whole movie.

A Room With A View (1986) - god, I love this film. I don't know why I still don't own the DVD yet. Helena Bonham Carter is so young in this, sometimes I can't believe it's actually her.

You don't Scaps! Gasp! The shame.

For your second point, I agree, but think it's weird that 6 years later in Howards End she does (even a year later in Maurice she does more than she did in Room).

Mulan - I watched this on Thursday and I forgot to mention it. I thought it was a pretty good movie, though I felt some parts dragged.

7/10

James and the Giant Peach - I watched this last night. I liked the stop-motion animation in this film and the voice actors were not too bad either.

7/10
