My favorite movie, hands down, was Star Trek. Normally, I don't care much for prequels, but this one

I didn#t see sooo many movies this year (new ones that is) and most I really didn't think were very good, nothing to brag about....

Hey, movies at home count as movies! I see very few movies actually in a theater (although it is my preferred method). Most movies I see are on DVD at home.

With our Netflix account, we watched 45 movies in 2009 plus some that we own and a lot more online that you can watch for free through Netflix. Some of my favorites were......

Fast, easy reads for pure fun are often some of the best ones! If you like the Twilight series, you might like a series I liked - City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass. They feature a group of teens (and adults, but the main characters are teens) who are Shadowhunters and who battle evil demons etc.

Your shameful obsession with movies is secret with me..LOL!! We like movies a lot too, watch them evenings, and would watch more if we'd get the returns in the mail faster to Netflix..we're both slow pokes! We put the returns on a little cabinet next to the door going into the garage so we won't forget to take them to the mailbox. Then we walk out without them..geez!


Even though I enjoyed the Twilight series very much, I think I'm finished with vampires. All through the books, I kept thinking to myself, "I can't believe I'm reading about vampires!" LOL! I would read a lot more if I'd stay away from the computer more!
