The new "Karate Kid". It was fun watching Will Smith appear and disappear in his kid's face. One minute, it's the kid, then he pulls a face, and BAM!! there's Will. And then he's gone again.

The Lovely Bones was terrible.

Even being set and made locally didn't help at all.

I was totally unprepared for that movie...and that's surprising after seeing I-don't-how-many previews. I liked that.

Prince of Persia. Better than I thought, but I still think Jake Gyllenhall was horribly miscast.

Bones, Seasons 1 - 4.

The Girl who Played with Fire

Emergency Hospital (1950s hospital drama. Surprisingly similar to the current variety)

Rocky Horror Picture Show (gotta for Halloween)

He has been miscast since always. I can't understand how he is still taken seriously as an actor.

Eyebrows & monotone! WOW

"Miss March - Unrated" SUCKED!!!

"Harry Brown" was okay. 6.5 outta ten, but, then, I kinda like Michael Caine, and revenge/vigilante justice type stories.

I will often watch and enjoy a bad to mediocre movie just because of the actors. The big exception to that was Bad Lieutenant. That one was horrible because Cage was so horrible.

Just watched How to Train Your Dragon. Very cute movie, had me giggling all the way through it. Then we watched the A-Team. Hubby and oldest son (20) laughed all the way through it, while the younger son (15) and I chuckled a few times. A-Team had a lot of talking while not looking at the screen... that means this chicky can not hear it some of the time. My hearing sucks, and I need to lip read sometimes. Several times Hubby re-wound ( hey... its not VHS and its still called rewind!) so I could catch the funny.

Why don't you turn on the subtitles? Mrs. Z has a hearing defect and we turn them on all the time. 99% of dvds have them.

Sub-titles bug everyone else, and I find many times I am too busy reading, and still miss the funny... lol. We have tried them a few times.
Usually we are pretty good with getting movies that have the actors facing the screen.
Good suggestion though
