The NEW thread got off the ground fairly well... THEN... broken computer, 3 weeks w/o Internet(dsl), illness & LIFE got in the way. Here is an abbreviated version. Hope to have the 300 material up next week. Need the major review from FReeper.

Time will tell if this will continue. We have lost several of our contributors recently & many more of our participants. We might just go with a SIMPLE format & just chat movies..

Thanks for recommendation. I am ALWAYS wanting to add to my collection, but my wallet doesn’t always agree

Let us know when you see it & what yu think.

I have been under weather & have not done as many movies as I normally do.

We also saw “Wild Hogs” and had a good laugh. It’s silly, but you will actually laugh out loud! If you’re feeling down, make a night of it. Take a friend, get a bite to eat, and go to see this movie.

FYI for those interested and this may be just a touch off topic but if you go here:

http://biblestudies.stores.yahoo.net/wiwigr.html

You can download group bible studies based on the movie Amazing Grace. One is free but I think the other you have to pay for.

I’ve browsed through the free one and it looks pretty good.

They also have other group studies using other movies as well.

We saw “Music and Lyrics” and really enjoyed it. Hugh Grant and Drew are very good in this movie, and I’m pleased that Drew Barrymore doesn’t seem to be making R rated movies. It’s a very pleasant way to spend the evening, especially if you enjoy romantic comedies.

I really don’t like that graphic of Al Gore’s face on St. Thomas More’s painting.

I agree.... but then, I like Drew.. and, think Hugh is funny. But, the reviewer got it right: It’s a FUN film... not, a high brow affair. But, that’s ok sometimes. Anything that leaves my wife happy. :-)

We also saw Amazing Grace. I like it better than my wife did. But, I thought it was an awesome movie... the best I’ve seen in a year or two.

I saw it. It’s good, it’s not as good as 28 Days Later but it’s good. Early on it fakes a leftist anti-military bent, but the situation proves the military was right.

I thought Amazing Grace was one of the better movies I have seen this year.

I liked Fracture quite a bit also. Blades of Glory & Hot Fuzz were also enjoyable each in their own way

The movie Perfect Stranger was not rated critically that well but I thought it was a great movie. I love local girl Halle Berry & try to see all her work
