Well, let's do it. Why don't you pick first, maybe one of us picks, say five movies and the other one gets to decide which of those we watch. That way there'll be more of a chance both of us can get a hold of a copy.

Alrighty. I'll watch it soon!
Wedding Crashers - Saw it a few years back and couldn't pay too much attention. But I watched it again and really enjoyed it
The Break Up - Very detailed film on rocky relationships. I'm sure people can relate to this.

Possessed - This movie was quite entertaining. Joan Crawford played a very convincing 'crazy lady'  Young Frankenstein - Every time I see this movie, it makes me want to go out and buy ever movie Gene Wilder has ever been in. The guy is one of the funniest actors in history.
This definitely among the ten or fifteen funniest movies I've ever seen. It's amazing when I look back about 15 to 20 years ago and remember how frightened of this movie I was. I never understood what made my dad laugh so darn hard |

Cape Fear (1962) - Watched this one again, this time with Stacey. I'm glad to see she enjoyed it almost as much as me.
Who's That Knocking At My Door - This was said to be Martin Scorsese's breakout film. It didn't look to be a very high budget film, but very intelligent regardless. I've never seen Harvey Keitel that young in ANYTHING! Haha.
Angels In The Outfield - I loved this film when I was a kid. Hadn't seen it in years so I decided to watch it. Pretty good movie! But there are some other baseball movies out there that I enjoyed more (Major League, A League of Their Own)
Yes Man - Bought this movie on DVD a couple of weeks ago. Saw it in theaters, as well. The movie won me over just by the opening song alone!! (Journey, Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
Overall, the movie was very very interesting and very enjoyable.

Haha. No worries. Take your time.  Halloween 2 (2009) - Yikes. I'm honestly confused. Dodgeball - Thought I'd pop this one in. Haven't seen it in quite a while. |

I watched [[Young Frankenstein]]... uh I mean Fronk in shteen hahaha. Here's my review... I figured I owed you a good one with pictures and all since I made you wait so long. Johnny Depp is a brilliant actor, no doubt. With a director like Tim Burton, a humongous budget and all the modern technology a thespian could hope for his Willy Wonka could not outshine Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka - proof of Wilder's enormous talent. That being said, the beginning of Young Frankenstein almost lost me. I found my mind wandering and wondering could I focus on two hours of this odd deadpan. Gene Wilder's reputation is what kept my attention as another of his slow starting classics crept into my head... [[Silver Streak]]. By the time I got to meet Igor (Marty Feldman) I was starting to come around and when the Peter Boyle's monster moaned his way into the picture I was hooked. The second half of the film had plenty of side splitting moments, but two caused me to scramble for the rewind button as I wiped away tears of laughter. The monster's thumb set ablaze by the blind man (Gene Hackman) was worth another look and the Putting on the Ritz routine had me trying to think where to rank it on my all-time favorite scenes list. It was great to see such a cast of legends in their earlier years. It's hard not to laugh at Boyle (I can never think of him without thinking "holy crap!) and it's hard not to look at Teri Garr. Did it make much sense? Not always, but it made me laugh and I can say that I had a good time. That's what movies are all about. |

Wow! I'm glad you liked it!! I didn't know this was your first time watching it!
Man... It's a coin toss between 9 and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
I think I'll pick 9 to go and see next week sometime. Maybe next Tuesday?

I got to take my boy to see 9 last night. I'll only say that we really enjoyed it. I'll save my thoughts on it until after you've seen it. He actually stayed awake through the whole thing which is a first hehe.
