If you guys don't get to see it first run, come over here to watch it when it's out on DVD.



Bring your passports. I live near the airport.

Saw "Evan Almighty" tonight.

90 minutes I'll never get back - it was medium sitcom funny and only reminded me why I"m tired of Steve Carell (sp). There were a couple good side comments by Wanda Sykes (sp) that are worth skipping too if you rent the DVD. Otherwise, just watch the trailer.

Then there was the jerk snoring behind me. . .

3 bornieo's out of 10 - for the 2 really laugh out loud moments.

Was one moment worth 2 bornieo's or were each worth 1.5?

My son really wants to see that movie but I'm more inclined to take him to Nancy Drew at the moment. Maybe I should just suggest Pirates again, I'm sure he'd love to see it a second time. We watched Bruce Almighty tonight. We also watched a few classic movies on AMC or the Turner channel.
I caught part of Them today. I remembered that one from my childhood. My son walked in and then turned around and walked out. Go figure, I guess he doesn't like giant ants!

We watched Love Actually. Eh. Sure, I laughed at a lot of the bits, but it never really grabbed me. Too rambling and scatter-brained. And something about the production values made me feel disconnected, like I was watching a re-edited recap of a movie rather than a movie itself.

17 Girthies out of 30.

I gave each moment 2 bornieo's but since they used the song "Are You Ready for a Miracle" for the up-teenth billionth time or seemingly in 18 of the last 20 films I've seen - I had to deducts an extra bornieo.

Charge up the choir! Are you ready for a miracle? Yeah, it'd be a miracle if they'd stop playing that f**king song all the time.... :)

Critic Gary Thompson's quote about Evan Almighty:
Quote:

If Jerry Falwell weren't dead already, this movie might have killed him.
I thought that was funny.
:D

I enjoyed Love Actually. I thought the haphazard style fit the concept. It's a good thing they didn't make a whole movie out of any one of these stories - there wasn't much too them, they were just fluffy and fun. The political moment was totally out of place, though it was sweet in the context of defending Natalie's honor. As always, I was disappointed by the stories that ended up sad. I admit that I prefer happily ever afters.

I loved the bit about the Brit who comes to America to get laid - so freaking true.

Oh, and it was filled with cute British guys. I think I now understand the Colin Firth thing.
