Not Another Teen Movie  (2001)

I don't know why, but I have watched this movie about 20 times. There are some really funny parts to this and each time I watch it, I see something else. Cheerleader with terrets, the guys sister - wow.. talk about a chick that needs an intervention, football players concussion, the girl in the toilet, etc...

Ok. this may sound sexist, but it is definitely a guy movie.

Blood Diamond  (2006)

I like action movies, but this one just didn't do it for me. Lots of action, but I guess I was expecting more. The movie had 5 Academy Award Nominations, but I just didn't see why. It was a decent movie, just didn't live up to the hype for me. Story line was fine... It just came across to me as a lesser Indian Jones Movie. I know what to expect in those.

Decent rental, glad I did not pay full price.

Beowulf  (2007)

Did not realize this was an animated/GC movie and I really wish I would have seen it in 3D, but saw in 2D.

Movie was good and kept my attention.  It was graphic and bloody, not a movie for kids, but there were about 10 in the theatre that had to be less than 10 years old.  Hello!!!

Best part of the movie was Angelina Jolie.  She was the hottest cartoon character I have seen, but her kids are out of control! 

I am glad I saw it at the dollar movie.  For me, it was not worth full price, but is better in a theatre than on a small tv.
