You are correct! (well, Showtime, but I still give you full points

)

I saw it a few years ago. I don't think I would have cast Diane Keaton as Sr. Mary and I think the pacing could use some improvement, but it's still worth seeing.

I've never seen Sr. Mary. The Actor's Nightmare I saw performed by our high school drama class, and thus the Catholic reference would not have been considered suitable. Nightmare was so funny, though, that I still can visualize now, 15 years later, the high school actor performing it. I *still* have nightmares that it's dance recital time and I don't remember our dance. Or having been to rehersal. Or anything. And frantically trying to get people to teaching it to me in the wings before we take the stage. And of course I'm always in the front row of dancers.

We ordered "The Dudesons" on cable last night. It's basically "Jackass" in Finland with four Finns sharing a house and abusing themselves and each other in unimaginable ways while laughing hysterically. My wife, who descends on one side from a long line of Finnish alcoholics, was appalled but pointed out that the boys were all very pleasant fellows. Also notable is that the four speak impeccable English, as do the strippers that show up occasionally.

I saw The Prestige last night. Great movie! A little slow in places, they could have cut 15 minutes out and made it much better. There were twists and creepy parts that made a bit of a thriller. A very injoyable movie!

Four snaps from me!

Normally I'm not a Kevin Costner fan, I find him very dull.

I just saw for the first time, big bleeding chunks, albeit not in widescreen Dances With Wolves. I missed this in the theaters way back when it won best picture and a bunch of other awards.

Nice to see a film that has some cinematic sweep to it. What I've seen I've liked a lot and I'd love to see it on the big screen. So, it along with the bonus materials dvd has been added to my Netflix queue.

Dances was great on the big screen. We had it at my theatre.

I saw "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" last night. It was very funny, great lines, great concept but the exicution of the film was horrible. In better director hands it could've been so much better. Kilmer was a scream, wish he'd do better films now-a-days.

I'm in a quandry, what's it going to be tonight? Two new DVDs arrived. Cars or The Little Mermaid?

Since I've seen Cars, I guess it will be the Little Mermaid which I've never seen. I will watch the new Mater short, though.
