The Machinist. It was frightening seeing Christian Bale so emaciated. He looked like he just walked out of a concentration camp! Great movie though!

The French Connection. Won 5 Oscars back in 1971 including best picture. Very good movie with Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider. Might have a hard time being made today or might have to be changed to some degree due to all the racial slurs,

The Omen. I give it an 8 outta 10. It lost points because Julia Stiles couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag.
I saw The Machinist at a local theater when it first came out. It's a wonder Christian didn't actually get sick from losing so much weight. He looked awful. And right after this he had to shoot Batman Begins so you know he splurged on some food after The Machinist.......

Over the Hedge-We all really liked it, I thought it was a pretty good family movie for a current movie.

Me and my son watched Lethal Weapon..I fast forwarded through a couple scenes, but he still thinks it was the best movie he's ever seen. I hadn't watched it from beginning to end for awhile, so I really was excited to watch it. Mel Gibson was pretty darn cool in that movie, he jumped through the air like the bionic man, and ran like him too. I like the scene where the bad guy says "there aren't any real hereos left in the world"...and he busts through the door, and kicks butt. The 80's were the best for good action movies. I like though how it takes place at Christmas and they have the whole family thing going, and how they kind of adopt Riggs as part of their family. I really like that part. That's when Christmas was a great time to go to the movie, when your out of school or have vacation, and people would get together and going to a movie was a great activity to do.

Running Scared with Paul Walker. It was really good, with a few weird twists. I wish he would start to do more movies like this, instead of that Blue Lagoon thing he did last year. I also watched Tully, which was recommended by a friend. If you like indy films, you will probably like this. I really enjoyed it- it's about family and friends and finding love, all with the backdrop of Kansas farm country.

On screen it was the DaVinci Code (not spectacular and a little long, but decent). On tape it was The Muppet Movie (always a thrill to see the characters during the glory days; you have to wonder if Doc Hopper's still out there waiting for the moment to exact revenge on Kermit and company).

Ash Wednesday, an Edward Burns IFC film. It was good- it had a twist at the end.

I watched the movie "The Legacy" last night. With Katherine Ross and Sam Elliot, I remember being so freaked out by that movie as a kid, but it wasn't so scary now. I loved the English mansion in it, and the scenery, and Sam Elliott's shower scene- It had a ton of unanswered questions though. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention or something, but it definately confused me.

I watched Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return. It was awful for the first hour...the last 20 min were pretty good.

We started watching the Disney movie "GUS"...I don't remember it at all, but my husband did...it is about football, so I probably missed it as a kid...but it was funny-what I have seen, we stopped it and are going to finish it tomorrow night, cause my son was getting to tired.
I am going to go try watching Magnum Force very soon.
