Latest Movies...

This is what I've seen in the last week or so.

20. Dreamgirls (DVD) 9/10 I did see this when it came out in the theater. It's a great movie. Unless you don't like musicals. Then you won't like this.

21.Little Children (DVD) 5/10. Only manages a 5 because the ending was interesting.

22. The Good Shepherd (DVD) 6/10. It was ok. Hard to follow at times and long.

23. Lucky You (Theater) 7/10. Much better than expected. Good story.

24. Alpha Dog (DVD) 6/10. Ok, nothing special. Get to see Sharon Stone in a fat suit, which was interesting.

25. 10 Items or Less (DVD) 7/10. Interesting story. Morgan Freeman is an actor who hasn't done a movie in awhile. There's a scene where he is in Target for the first time that's pretty funny.

26. Georgia Rule (Theater) 7/10. Pretty good story, good acting.

27. Freedom Writers (DVD) 8/10. Much better than I expected.

Kentucky Derby

Here's my pick to win the Derby: Circular Quay.

Now if I were betting, here's what I would bet.

Exacta Box Circular Quay and Street Sense.
Exacta Box Tiago and Street Sense.

I would also put probably $5 to show on Storm in May 'cause I like the horse, don't think he has much of a chance to win, but could easily be in the money.


Here's my latest movies. (as a side note, I've recently went over the 1000 mark on movie's I've rated on Netflix)

16. Scarface (DVD) 3/10. I dont' get the fascination with this movie. Tony Montana is a jerk. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

17. Teachers Pet (DVD) 7/10. Old Doris Day/ Clark Gable movie. Rachel had to do a project in her movie class and picked doing it on Doris Day so she watched a bunch of her movies. This is the only one (other than the Pajama Game way back in January) that I watched with her.

18. Smokin Aces (DVD) 7/10. I liked this way better than I thought I would. It was interesting seeing which "hitman" would wind up on top.

19. The Invisible (theater) 7/10. Good story, much better than I had anticipated. Way different than all the trailers.
