How Green Was My Valley 1941
Despite winning 5 Oscars, with Roddy McDowell as a child star and John Ford directing, we just couldn't get into this film. It is all about the industrial revolution inflicting misery inflicted on a Welsh family. Lots and lots of misery.
This one gets a frownie:

The Closet a man fakes homosexuality to avoid being fired. Very funny. 8/10
Crash. Heavy duty but good. 7/10
Rent. It may be good, but not for us. After five minutes of everything being sung we had enough. 2/10
Ace in the Hole (aka The Big Carnival). Pretty good, although I slept through the first half. 6/10.

Same movie different lead
I watched The Book of Eli last night and thought it was the same story as Kevin Costners Waterworld.

Just finished watching Invictus. Clint Eastwood film, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Story about the early days of Nelson Mandela's presidency, when he used the national rugby team as a way to unify South Africa. 4/5
The USA could use a Nelson Mandela...

Heres one to miss when it comes out on video. We saw it as a freebie the other day; actually I advise going to see it because it is fun to discuss as one of the worst movies ever.
Love Ranch (2010) Movie

You mean it is worse than Manos: The Hands of Fate? Putting it on my Netflix save list right now.

Ten Canoes
Can't recall who recommended this. It is not our usual type of movie, but we enjoyed it. Definitely something different.
One smiley.

Waterworld had a story? All I remember is the poor salt drenched tomato plant.

Iīve just seen "The blind side": Didnīt like it. I found it paternalistic and too feel good. Even if it was based on a true story. And did Sandra Bullock really deserve the Oscar for her performance?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115734/ -- I can kind of see how some people may like it, but it's kind of weird.
The Beautician and the Beast (1997) -- recorded it on TiVO. Pretty bad, but it had a few laughs. DW liked it.
It's amazing how they can make any movie look good in the trailer:

Just getting ready to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I am a big fan of the Jeremy Brett version of Holmes and am hoping Robert Downey doesn't blow it too badly.

Watched "hidden fortress" again the other day: It's oft cited as the inspiration for
the first star wars movie. I love the two hapless peasants that the movie revolves
around.

Saw "Dear John" - a good film of a soldier/girlfriend relationship.
Also saw "180° South" - a great adventure documentary of a journey to Patagonia filled with sailing, surfing and mountain climbing footage.
