The Road

Surf Ninjas

[Seven77]

I have an idea---how about we start posting just a brief line or two about our movies (no visible spoilers of course)?

The Adjustment Bureau

Engrossing suspense with two likable main characters… interesting philosophical film that explores questions asked by humanity about the nature of our existence. I found myself praising God for his mercy and grace and for the faculty of our wills after watching this movie.

Actually, I think Hollywood has to remedy that.

Best. movie. ever.

I've seen a lot recently. Just watched Godfather and Good Will Hunting for the first times. In theaters, I've seen Planet of the Apes and Captain America. Neither were awful (actually, I enjoyed both!), which surprised me.

Batman Begins


It's a decent movie, but the Dark Knight is WAAAAAY better.

One of the loveliest movies I have seen in a very long time is [i]Arranged[/i] that came out in 2007 and can be found on Netflix. Its a 10 in my book.

I was just about to review this! Watched it on netflix a few nights ago- I'm thinking about getting it from Amazon. It's about two conservative women (one an Orthodox Jew and the other Muslim) in society and dealing with arranged marriages.

[/quote] italics added

"Neither were awful" is what we call 'damning with faint praise.' This is exactly why I don't go to the movies - if I'm going to spend the money & the time to watch something, I don't want to walk away saying, "Well, it wasn't awful."

Oddly enough I saw that same movie, and ended up sitting next to some chick who kept raving about his abs...
