Finally saw Therese--it's on netflix instant, now pham. I really liked it. And I would have cried at the end, except I had to pause it to eat dinner with my (local, and biological) pham.

Scrooge w/Albert Finney!!!

[i]War Horse[/i]. Possibly the best movie I've ever seen, even considering that I've seen [i]Molokai, Francis and Clare[/i], all the [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] movies, and [i]The Nativity Story[/i].

[i]The Nativity Story.[/i]Lived up to its billing. The new Sherlock Holmes was pretty good too!

Whatever you guys do, do NOT watch La Moustache. It is French with English subtitles, and it's the WORST MOVIE EVER. It's all about a guy shaving his moustache and nobody noticing, so he goes practically insane. But then you wonder if he ever HAD a moustache in the first place. It's just horrible.. if you see the movie in a store, run and hide. It will haunt your life forever.

This actually sounds like the BEST movie ever.

[b]Iron Monkey[/b] on Netflix streaming

It's the movie that was made before 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' that was actually better but not as popular.

[b]Pope Dreams[/b] on Netflix streaming

Watched it with my daughter. It was described as a dude who was trying to get money to send his mom to meet the pope before she died, but actually, it was a movie about a boy-girl romance--the pope thing was a minor sub-plot. The version on Netflix seems like it's an edited version (dubbed over cusswords), so it was actually pretty safe for a teen, but I don't think it would have been if the original language was still in it.

You got your facts wrong

Can't remember if I recently posted here, but Crazy, Stupid Love and The Help were probably the best movies I saw this year. There Be Dragons was surprisingly good, too, but not something I would want to watch over and over unless I already had a great love for the subject matter (St. Josemaria).

Interesting... how did you find out about this movie? Guessing that you did a search for "Pope" or "Catholic?"

We just saw "Matt Damon Buys a Zoo and Bores the croutons out of You for Two Hours"

[b]Warrior.[/b] One of the best movies I've seen recently. Some parts can be hard to watch, including a crude word here, a little profanity there. Ultimately, its a movie about forgiveness and redemption... I'm not ashamed of the fact that i got a bit teary eyed, (especially if pretty girls read this.)

[b]Rise of the Planet of the Apes. [/b]I really should kick myself but i found myself rooting for the apes and for their revolt; those humans were oppressive jerks. Fortunately, i am physically unable kick myself.

The Grey.

It's got Liam Neeson, a plane crash, wolves and existentialism. Oh, and profanity. Pretty freakin' sweet!
