The microphones in most of the dialogue scenes were so annoying.<br /><br />I actually liked "Lady in the Water," which I also saw about a month ago. I think it's because I didn't have M. Night expectations. I didn't expect a twist or scariness because everyone told me that it sucked and that it was like a bedtime story. So, I was able to enjoy it for what it was without any other expectations impeding my enjoyment.Cardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260768171568324499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-89298066048320598322007-01-10T19:17:00.000-07:002007-01-10T19:17:00.000-07:00I too haven't seen as many movies this year as I h...I too haven't seen as many movies this year as I have in the past. I am inclined to put "Stranger Than Fiction" in first place and I don't know if it counts for this year, but "Night at the Museum" was great. May I also suggest not to waste your time with "Lady in the Water" cause I thought it was a waste. I still want to see "The Prestige" as well.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00775600479104755514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-85395820742443809872007-01-08T13:31:00.000-07:002007-01-08T13:31:00.000-07:00Yeah, I had a problem with the paradoxes on The La...Yeah, I had a problem with the paradoxes on The Lake House. That was a lot of the problem, and ultimately it decreased my overall enjoyment of the film. This wasn't to say it still wasn't a good or interesting time, but there you have it.<br /><br />Also, I realized that there was another film that I saw that I would put on my list. It would probably be at #3. It was "New York Doll." I really liked it a lot. I laughed, and I cried. It was so good.Cardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260768171568324499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-42985071066194904272007-01-08T12:04:00.000-07:002007-01-08T12:04:00.000-07:00This weekend we rented The Devil Wears PRada, My S...This weekend we rented The Devil Wears PRada, My Super Ex Girlfriend, and The Lake House. My favorite was the Lake House, excepting the Paradoxes that are always introduced when you mess with time; I liked Prada okay, and Girlfriend was pretty stupid...although my dad lists it in his top ten for the year.tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-42635829000568614422007-01-04T13:20:00.000-07:002007-01-04T13:20:00.000-07:00We saw about half of those as well, most of them o...We saw about half of those as well, most of them on video. I did see Pirates at the drive in, and Superman at my parents when we visited.<br />I liked Nanny McPhee, for the most part. Pirates was okay, but reminded me of The Mummy sequels: trying to cram too much in really makes a stupid movie sometimes.<br />We saw x-men at the theatre too; I think it was pretty good, but yeah it was kinda angsty and more about the action in some ways.<br />I would like to see the Devil Wears PRada and the Lake House.<br />Both are movies I know that Joseph will protest at first, but I can almost guarantee he will like them better than me.tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-61337130234822678822007-01-03T19:58:00.000-07:002007-01-03T19:58:00.000-07:00I think the consensus is that the dancing donkey s...I think the consensus is that the dancing donkey should have been cut?<br /><br />Cash, yeah, I saw the mystery coming in The Prestige. But, part of it was discussing it during the movie with my friend.<br /><br />Jill, great minds think alike!<br /><br />Julie, yeah, making this list made me realize what a mediocre year 2006 was for movies. I don't know if I just missed the good ones or what? I hope 2007 is pleasing, but I sort of doubt it, what with Fantastic Four II and Ocean's Thirteen coming out. D'oh!<br /><br />Framed, your Cameron Diaz comment makes me laugh. I was just having a conversation with my cousin and her husband regarding what people actually look like. He said that Cameron Diaz doesn't actually have that great of skin. But, I guess she has good make-up artists and a crew of people with good photoshopping skills!

I enjoyed Nanny McPhee & Pirates (Johnny Deppe is hot even with eyeliner). Stranger than Fiction was weird, but good. I thought Da Vinci Code was so-so. Hanks' hair really bothered me. I did like Lake House. An I totally agree with Julie about Holidays. It was a fun movie to watch right before Christmas. Cameron Diaz is so gorgeous I should hate her, but I can't. And Jude Law had the same effect on me, Julie. I haven't seen the rest of the movies you reviewed and proably won't.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-57724111888175665212007-01-03T17:37:00.000-07:002007-01-03T17:37:00.000-07:00I saw roughly half of the movies on your list and ...I saw roughly half of the movies on your list and I agreed with your reviews, mostly. Although I absolutely enjoyed Nanny McPhee, the dancing donkey was a bit too much for me. Daniel Craig surprised me - I thought he made an excellent Bond, though at times I couldn't remember who I was suppose to be cheering for because it was a blond guy fighting a guy with dark hair. I thought Stranger than Fiction was superbly done and very unique. I even enjoyed it the second time - a good test. Ditto for XMen and Pirates and Tom Hanks' hair in DaVinci. You and I have discussed Launch and Lake House, so I won't go into them now. I can't think of any other movies I saw that aren't on your list. Oh, I remember one, I really enjoyed The Holiday. It was a little slow but it was a true chick flick. At the end I really wanted a man and I even thought Jude Law was hot! Go figure.<br /><br />Here's to hoping that 2007 brings a slew of great movies!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361843863209384103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-84487935806481105342007-01-02T18:17:00.000-07:002007-01-02T18:17:00.000-07:00I didn't see as many movies during 2006 as I used ...I didn't see as many movies during 2006 as I used to (movies are so expensive here and it's a pain to go to a casino/parking garage to see a movie). I think I did see more than 12 though.<br /><br />I wanted to see Stranger Than Fiction, but it came and left before we had time to get there. I didn't see numbers 4 or 5 on your list and didn't really have a desire to. ;-) I wanted to catch number 9, but again... lack of time.<br /><br />It's funny how closely my sentiments mirror yours on many of these.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912651.post-34315442658896287342007-01-02T17:33:00.000-07:002007-01-02T17:33:00.000-07:00I felt so bad when I fell asleep during "In the He...I felt so bad when I fell asleep during "In the Heat of the Night." Sorry about that. I've actually now seen it 2.5 times because Tino and Horker P. Slappy both separately wanted to watch it with me before I returned it to the library. I totally agree that it was one of the best movies I saw in 2006. Rod's yellow shades were rad.<br /><br />The dancing donkey in Nanny McPhee was scary beyond all reason.<br /><br />I just saw The Prestige and both Tino and I saw the mystery coming from a mile away.
