Movies

First of all, now I know for sure why I love DVDs and my big screen TV. I went to a movie today and some of the teenagers in the back were so annoying and loud, I almost left the theater. It ruined my enjoyment. I would rather watch them at home if I have a choice, althought the I can't see them right after they are released. Did I tell you I love movies? I have a subscriptions to Netflix.com and it's god sent. Since I am not working now, I am watching between 5-10 movies per week. I have a queue of 100 movies almost all the time and watch anything that intrigues me. I do tend to lean toward Sci-fi, Suspence, Foreign and Indie films. I have probably watched over 1200 movies in last 10 years. Back to the movie, it was the Villiage. Although some critics panned it, I enjoyed it. I thought the suspence was there and the twist to the plot left me saying "huh, never suspected that." I won't spoil the ending but it's worth seeing for the ending alone. I would give it a 8/10. - eben

I have Netflix also. It's crazy cool, although I'm not getting my movies as fast as I did last year. Oh well. I must disagree with you on the Village review, however.

5-10 movies per week. Jeeze. We' talking film festival.

I've never tried netflix. We have TIVO and cable, and that keeps us pretty entertained. We go out to see movies about 1.5 times per week.

I love Netflix. I can usually turn the movies around in 3 days. Watch it, next day put it in the mail, they get it the following day and another in the mail, next day I get it. So it's been easy to watch a lot of movies. Tonight I saw an interesting Aussie movie called Japanese Way. An interesting movie.

I think they over-hyped the Villiage so everyone was disappointed with the results. I went in there with no expectation and actuallly enjoyed it.
