Watched an oldie but goodie this weekend, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, with Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney. Still holds up after all these years (hadn't seen it since I was a little girl).
The kids watched Aliens in the Attic and enjoyed it.

What Movies Have You Seen Lately?
Watched Tarentino's Inglorious Basterds yesterday. Needs a more than willing suspension of disbelief for History buffs. Entertaining for the most part. Pitt's Tennesse accent is a hoot, and Waltz chews the scenery well as the heavy.

Bodo the Apostate, a novel set during the reign of Louis the Pious and end of the Carolingian Empire.

Last night I watched the first episode of BBC's "Bonekickers"....Ye Gads....What a bunch of very bad Archaeological Goo.....Ridiculous Templar History....i.e. a couple of bad guys walking around in Bath UK brandishing Medieval swords...Huh?.....I'm not a expert in Archiology but.....WTS...they find a coin...then a bit of very shallow trenching...they find sword hilts, bits of armour, later bones of Templar knights and a piece of cedar wood dated to the time of Christ .....Instant gratification in Archaeology.....Please......I was hoping for a decent series.....Finally the characters and their dialogue was unbelievable....

Re: "Bonekickers"....Well I now know what to expect and I'll try lighten up on the series...I suspect If my wife and I go to see "Avatar" I will need to get pass the OTT hype and the "Dances With Wolves" like script.....I think the Academy needs to come up with a another bracket for this type of new film genre...... How do the Nominated Actors/films compete with Blue People/SE/Animation?

Oh my, don't remind me about Bonekickers! Watched the first ep and agree it was dreadful, didn't even fall into the-so-bad-it's-quite-good-in- an-amusing-way category. I didn't watch the rest of it but it wasn't recommissioned so I think it was a turkey all round!

Over the week I have watched He's Not That Into You, The Invention of Lying (comical and sad at the same time) and Inglorious Bastards (this one was too violent IMO).
