Next time, don't leave the answers in the video description :P

Of those movies, the ones I have seen were great. Both of them.

Is it bad that I've only seen two of those movies? There are two more from your list that I had wanted to see, but I just haven't had the chance yet.

For the most part, that was actually a very good list. I'm glad you didn't just rattle off an entire list of insipid, forgettable blockbusters.

I've only even heard of four (and can only give you a basic description of two) of them. I've seen none of them. Once you stop going to the theater, you never see trailers, and so you don't know what you're missing... and you save money.

Dear Lord... I've only heard about 3 on the list, and only because they've been big commercial blockbusters.

My film buff friend, Michelle, keeps telling me how I need to branch out more into all these alternative movies and arty films that are shown at film festivals and what not. (She works in film distribution.)

Ahhh... I need someone to push me to see them... but I do so enjoy chick flicks. :oops:

Mamma Mia! was the most annoying thing I've seen in a long time, which makes me sad because I was excited for this movie and I love musicals. Basically, I don't quite like it when movies try to force feed me fun and good cheer with the subtlety of Michael Bay's CGI. It may even be worse than Across the Universe. :P

Wow, that's a stretch to think those movies are the best of the year.

All about personal choice, I guess. No Iron Man or Incredible Hulk in there either.
If you think Burn After Reading was rubbish, I guess you and I will have to disagree. :lol:

Never Back Down?

As Bob's newly self-appointed secretary, I will be glad to file those suggestions for him. In the circular bin. :lol:
