You know, I hear bike riding can be lots of fun. You should try it sometime. Maybe the "three" of you could share one bike.

I can just hear those voices inside her head arguing about who gets to pedal.

Slumdog Millionaire. I'll give it an A. But the most fun I've had in a long time was my dh & I sitting on the sofa watching the Marx Brothers. Coconuts is soooooooo funny.

Can't remember which we saw first:

Watchmen. We both thought it was very good, and we'd both read the book within the past month. I don't understand why it's been so trashed in the reviews. Obviously there were layers in the book that couldn't make it into a three hour movie. That's true of any full-length novel. I thought the movie captured the essence of the book really well.

The Wrestler. Also extremely well done, well acted, but emotionally wrenching. See it when you're feeling strong.

+1. My thoughts exactly.

BTW I saw it on Monday afternoon and I was literally the only person in the theater. That felt weird. My cell phone vibrated and I went ahead answered it 'cause there was nobody there to be bothered by it.

The Marx Brothers films were made mostly in the 30's. Just hilarious fun.

The last movie I saw was last week, rented at the hotel where I was staying. It was Revolutionary Road. I'm glad to be living in a time and place where I can make my own decisions.

Milk. It was great.

I've come close to being the only person in the theater, but someone always walks in eventually. The smallest audience I've been part of so far was three people. I actually prefer a near-empty theater because your favorite seat is always available and you don't have to worry about the person next to you talking through the whole movie.

I saw Taken recently and enjoyed it. (I feel very sad for Liam Neeson and his family right now.)

Of all the movies I saw last year, I enjoyed Death Race the most. Seriously. I can't explain it.

Marx Brother was like 1920's right? Sometimes the classics are the most fun. I think that is why I enjoyed 'Alien Trespass' it was kind of nice to go back to the 50s for two hours. To watch and enjoy it was to experience something like the enjoyment felt by audiences in the 1950s. Alien Trespass was a nostalgia trip well worth it, especially with everything in the real world on the downward slide.

Slumdog took eight trophies at Academy Awards, right?

Didn't Revolutionary Road take place in the '50s? Not exactly happy time.

[snapdragen]

I've always liked The Three Face of Eve.

Yes, Mid-1950's. Revolutionary Road was about a couple struggling to find their passions in life, right? I have never seen it. Is it good? Alien Trespass is a colorful homage to 1950s sci-fi alien invasion films. "Colorful" in that you have fun watching it....no tears in the end.

Revolutionary Road was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. But it's not a feel-good movie, so if you want that, see something else. Great movie, though.

The last movie I saw was "He's Just Not That Into You" and it was ok. It wouldn't have been my first choice of movies but one of my girlfriends was having a rough time and needed a cheesy RomCom.
