Movies...

I partially blame our new Home Theater for my lack of posts lately. Ever since we got Netflix, my evenings are spent either watching a movie or catching up on the TV I used to watch and now don't because I'm watching movies.

Jeff and I usually watch a movie at night after Ashley has gone to sleep. As a result, I've watched more movies in these past 2 months than I have in the past 7 years. And I feel that something meaningful should come out of all that wasted time, so here are my movie lists. Movies I Loved, Movies that Make Me Fear For Humanity and Movies I Wouldn't Watch even if Being Able to Eat Chocolate Ever Again Depended on It.

(Hopefully it will give you some ideas or at the very least, keep you from suffering like I did.)

Movies I Loved

Changeling - Not a big Angelina Jolie fan, but the story was amazing.

August Rush - Loved, loved, loved the music!

Man on Fire

P.S. I Love You - Okay seriously, cried through the entire movie...so bad, the next day my eyes were swollen. Not. Pretty.

Seven Pounds - I have found out that I love Will Smith, I truely think he's one of the underrated actors.

The Reader - Kate Winslet was amazing and it truly made me think about the brutality of the Nazi war, not just the inhumane treatment of fellow human beings but the persecution of those soldiers following orders.

Movies that Make Me Fear For Humanity

(but are still really good movies)

An American Crime - 16 y.o. imprisoned and tortured by church-going woman and neighborhood kids (seriously, our world is a scary place)

Doubt - Catholic priest, you know the story.

Little Children - Can convicted felons really be cured and are they really given a chance at a normal life after?

I Am Legend - Freaked.Me.Out.

Crash - I now have a fear of getting pulled over by police

The Kite Runner - Social Injustice (Warning: Subtitles)

Children of Men - What are the real ramifications of our pollution and growth?

Milk - True Story. Disheartening that we're still at the same place we were when Harvey Milk was murdered.

Movies I Wouldn't Watch even if Being Able to Eat Chocolate Ever Again Depended on It

Mamma Mia! - The songs were great, but the cheese factor was too much to stomach

Hellboy - I blame Jeff for this one

You Don't Mess with the Zohan - I blame Jeff for this one too. I love Adam Sandler but this was just too stupid

Nights in Rodanthe = Every romantic cliché you've ever heard of.

Tropic Thunder - Jeff strikes again (and he wonders why I took over our Netflix queue)

So what do you think? Did I get some movies completely wrong? Do you want to throw the remote at me or even better, do you want to secretly cancel my Netflix account and force me back into society?
