Or is it Monday Media? I forgot which, but we didn't get it this Monday and I have movies to report in on. Soooo..here ya go...tell us your's too.....


Recently, we have watched.....



"Once Upon a Time in Mexico" with Antonio Bandaras and Johnny Depp. We really didn't like it much, just a bit too "goofy" for us; but we watched the whole thing. We thought with those two in it, it would be really good..nah..it wasn't.


"The Answer Man" with Jeff Daniels and Lauren Graham. He's a recluse author, anti social, rude to people and so forth. Then he meets a woman chiropractor and things begin to change. Pretty good, we enjoyed it.


Tonight we went to the movie theater and saw Avatar3D. We *loved* this movie!! It was INCREDIBLE!!! The forest is BEAUTIFUL..like I've never seen before!! It's about Jake Sully who is a paraplegic Marine and is dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission. While there, he becomes attached to the inhabitants and is torn between his world and this new world he has found. It is an absolute *must see* and make sure you see it in the 3D version in the theater on the big screen.


Tomorrow night we hope to watch our latest Netflix, The Proposal; which we still haven't had time to watch. I know it's a good one!


So..tell us about your latest movies or books or whatever else you'd like to talk about. Ann..sorry..but I just had to talk about Avatar, so added this thread for you.

It's Complicated is on our Netflix list, but they don't say when it will be released yet. It must still be playing in theaters I guess. Glad you liked it!

My pleasure Ann, glad to do it for you!


Amelia got mixed reviews on Amazon, but it is one we will rent from Netflix! Glad you liked it. Netflix is saying there's a long wait.


Glad to hear you liked Love Happens. It also got mixed reviews, but still looks pretty good to me. It's also on our Netflix, they say there's a short wait.


You've seen a lot of movies recently..great! We can't seem to get them watched that often..too much time on our computers! ;)

Yeah, I do watch a lot of movies. 2 or 3 (or 4) a week, usually.

Our distribution center is Oklahoma City, OK. Our problem is getting the DVD back in the mail. Sometimes it'll sit there for 3 days before we get it down to the end of the street and into the mailbox! I miss the days when we had mail delivery right to our door! We're on the Netflix plan of one at a time. We watch a lot of their free ones online too, but we don't have the advantage of subtitles that way. It takes four days from the time we put it in the mailbox 'til the time we get the next one.

I get two at a time and have no means of streaming it to my tv, (someday I'll get a blu-ray player!) and my movies often sit a few days before I mail them, depending on how many new ones I want and how fast I think I can watch and send back a new one. Tom doesn't get it when he offers to mail a dvd for me and I tell him not yet, It's not Saturday, lol!

LOL! Yea, there was a distribution slowness problem here too in the beginning, but they solved that problem. We'll be mailing ours out today, so I'll keep a watch on when we get the next one. I expect it will be Tuesday.


We did not purchase or have any of their "boxes" to streamline their movies to our computer. We use J's because his monitor is a wee bit larger than mine. We just click on "Play" beneath the instant movies and there it is. He had to install something or other to get it, but it was all done online with no additional pieces of hardware.

"The Proposal" review!! We loved it!! Such a cute and fun movie! This is our kind of flick! Margaret and Andrew, what a pair..LOL! Of course anything that Sandra Bullock is in is going to be a good one, so we knew we'd like it. I'd call it a must see for pure entertainment! Don't look for anything deep or intense or
