Just watched The Apple. It's supposed to be so bad, it's good. But really it's just bad. A horrible 70's musical.

Also just watched The U.S. v. John Lennon. It was at times interesting. A documentary of Lennon's anti-war activities. One cool part was the footage from his home movies with his son in the late 70's. Lennon was basically a recluse then, and I'd never seen footage of him from that time period. Conservatives will hate this documentary. Very liberal.

Stranger than Fiction. Cute movie, kinda sweet, kinda funny... but not honestly all that good. It was okay, but not really of rewatch quality.

The Lone Gunmen (tv series, the X-Files spinoff that nobody watched)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest. (wasn't impressed, but at least now I've seen them)
Ghost Rider (cool, could have been better, of course, but it was fun to see)

Hamish Macbeth (mid 90's BBC tv series) -- Nothing extraordinary, but quite entertaining. To be fair, I like Robert Carlyle and do love stuff from the BBC, so it might be coloring my opinion. I understand the character is from a series of mystery books; so far the mystery element has been understated, however.

wolf, I agree with you on Ghost Rider - good, but like many movie versions of comics, could be even better.

Starship Troopers 2 (big mistake)

The Scorpion King (not bad, but I thought it would have more to do with The Mummy. It was supposed to be a prequel, wasn't it?)

Ghost Rider - didnt mind it.

Although, Nicks body kinda blew my mind....it just doesnt look right? and his face looks weird in this movie (no, smartarses, not when its a skull!!).

Huh... I had no idea.

Yeah, wolf's right on the money with The Scorpion King. What got me the most was that he was the hero in the prequel and a villian in The Mummy.

Thinking about this again got me looking back into the Universal classic monster movies. I just re-watched the Frankenstein movies -- Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein, and House of Frankenstein. There were some inconsistencies I'd forgotten, but nothing too bad (other than the monster gaining and losing the ability to speak). I'd say Son was probably my favorite, mostly for the cast and the sets; the first three all have great value, though. I feel the last two movies were just milking the franchise. I enjoyed Ghost and House when I was a kid, but they don't work so well for me now.

For Love of the Game

Shooter - omg, I love that movie.

Marky Mark just does it for me on soooo many levels.

My sister met him many years ago. They got into a huge argument for some reason.

Eragon (bad movie of a moderately good book)

The Incredibles (hilarious)

Castle of Cogliostro. A fun little anime with just one unusual flying contraption.

"The Donner Party" great little documentary.
Well, it was agreed that it was much better than "My Ex-Girlfriend is a Super Hero."

Just watched "Death Of A President". Not bad: the faux-"Dateline" program that makes up the movie is more focused on the social climate that would foster an act like that without being rooted in a coup d'etat attempt. This as opposed to focusing on the political fallout following the shooting, which I had expected to see going in.
