Just got back from seeing "Cars" for the seventh time and we decided to watch a movie that we bought several weeks ago - The Family Stone with Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Dermot Mulroney, Luke Wilson and Craig T. Nelson. Also starring in it was a very skinny ill-looking Sarah Jessica Parker. The movie was a very good film, and well worth the watching. I enjoyed it, and found it a very intelligently made film.

Wow, Bill, seven times! I love Cars, but, I still haven't seen it a second time. I keep meaning to go, again, but, I just have so many other movies that I've been going to see. If I don't end up seeing it in theaters, again, I'll be watching it over and over on DVD. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD!

I have yet to watch The Family Stone (you've inverted the title), but, my Sister tells me that it was a much better movie than she thought it would be. So, I plan to rent it, sometime.

I've also seen The Family Stone as well and I would recommend it to you easily. On the topic of films that I've seen recently...

Rumour Has It: An interesting premise is present, yet it does go into the mode of Hollywood cliches a bit at times. Needless to say, worth a watch. 7/10

Kinky Boots: Whilst some may get put off by the idea of a British comedy about people making boots for transvestites, don't. This is a fun British film with a fairly touching storyline that I'd recommend to all. It comes to DVD in America in September, and is worth a purchase. 8.5/10

The Blues Brothers: I rented this due to hearing some of the songs in it, and I'm glad that I did! It's now become one of my favourite films let alone musicals. 9.5/10

Thank You For Smoking A good independent satire on the tobacco industry. It also has a cool opening titles sequence. 9/10

Lost in Translation A good emotional film that was on the UK's Film Four channel (now on free to air digital TV). It does seem a bit slow at times, yet I think that due to the feelings of the main characters, this was intentional. Plus, there are many wonderful moments of psychedelic realism. 8.5/10

...they broke my watch!

I watched some of Big Fish last night. It's a nice little film, but it was a little slow at times. I saw it when it came out in theatres.

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest for a 3rd time, this time at the El Capitan Theater.

I started to watch My Neighbor Totoro & Toy Story 2, but I didn't finish them. I wonder why? Oh well.........

Oh Aaron...thanks for reminding me that I also saw that (though for the first time). I forgot to put Dead Man's Chest in my post yesterday. Silly me! I might post my thoughts in the main thread for that, but for now, I'll just say that I give it a 9 out of 10.

I saw Monster House today at my nearest theatre. It was okay as far as animated features go. i give it a 7 out of 10

I just finished Object of My Affection. It was ok, but not one of my favorite Jennifer Aniston movies.

I watched All Dogs Go to Heaven earlier today on Toon Disney. It was really cute and brought some very vague memories of watching it as a kid.

I have four fried chickens and a Coke.

I saw Nacho Libre again today. Possibly the stupidest film ever... I LOVE IT!!!

Hey...leggo my blouse.

The Bourne Identity - GRADE A+++++, a great movie, deff. a buy for later.

Alexander - meh, wont bother with this crap again.

Wedding Crashers - LMHO, a great movie as well A

BBM - regardless of what people say and regardless of he gay aspect of the movie, it is a great LOVE story... A+++, much more worthy of the Oscar than Crash

Pirates of the Caribbean Sea: The curse of the Black Pearl

It was just for clearing out a doubt `bout Barbossa

Watched The Benchwarmers today and although I am not a big fan of any of the stars, Rob Schneider, Jon Heder, and David Spade, I laughed out loud through the whole movie. It was genuinely funny, and not filled with tons of toilet humor.

I last watched Bambi II. It's a pretty good midquel, but it doesn't live up to the original Bambi.

I saw Monster House last night, I thought it was ok, my 5 year old son was scared alot, after the movie he said he liked it and wants on dvd- go figure

Watched Final Destinantion 3 last night and the Benchwarmers the night before

I watched <b>The Rescuers</b> on Toon Disney last night. This movie wasn't a part of my childhood the way its sequel was, as I never had <b>The Rescuers</b> on video. I did, however, have the Little Golden Books storybook version, which I remember enjoying. My favorite illustration was of the fireworks coming out of the boathouse as Penny and her animal entourage escape on the swampmobile. Anyway, I saw the movie for the first time in about nine years. It reeks of '70s, but that's what makes it so charming...to me, at least. I really shouldn't - running out of shelf space - but this is going on my DVD wish list.

How can that be!!?

I've never seen "All Dogs Go to Heaven", but it was made by Don Bluth. How can it possibly air on a Disney Channel?

It aired on Toon Disney, not the Disney Channel. Toon Disney shows all different kind of "toon" movies for youngsters. Even though I watch it peridodically to watch the 2 Rescuers movies.
