Hello all,
The $40.00 Powerplay plan (split between two households) from Movie Gallery has paid for itself this month. Each movie is usually $4.29 a piece. Just on rented movies we would have spent $137.28 (not including tax). We normally would not spend that in the first place, but still.
We have already rented the following: (32 movies)
All reviews have been added to the Netflix website as well.
Mirrors AWESOME
Skid Row B-rated
Role Models cute movie if you can get passed the language
The Women I got rather bored, but Ray's Mom liked it.
The Strangers Boring
Ghost Town Pretty good
Nim's Island good one for children about 8-13 years old. Benny liked it.
Australia Interestingly good, but 2 hours and 45 minutes feels like 5 hours...it drags on and on
The Haunting of Molly Hartley It made no sense through out the entire thing. Very hard to follow
Sex Drive It was actually a cute movie.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno BLAH-next time there is the word Porno in the title we won't rent it. Ray thought it was going to be a comedy which it is, but it is also turns into a B-rated porno. NEVER AGAIN - as soon as they started having sex we all decided to shut it off.
Bangkok Dangerous It was good, but a little hard to follow. In my opinion, not one of Nicolas Cage's best.
Space Chimps I was bored with it, but everyone else seemed to like it.
Horton Hears A Who CUTE! Ray and I have decided to buy it for Juliana when it goes on sale.
Hancock Surprisingly Good-even Ray liked it and he hates Will Smith.
Meet the Browns Good Movie
Beverly Hills Chihuahua It was pretty cute.
Twilight AWESOME but only if you like romance movies and you try not to compare it to the book.
The Velveteen Rabbit Good for young children
All Roads Lead Home Still undecided I liked it or not. It is such a tired concept.
The Duchess It was a good movie if you like the Victorian type movies.
Happily Never After 2 -snore- not to mention the computer animation is horribly done (seems like it was simply a low budget film)
Bolt -was cute but I got bored with it.
The Little Mermaid:Airel's Beginning (III) Wonderful! It seems to fit in very nicely with the original Little Mermaid.
Let the Right one In B-rated, pointless and boring.
Forgetting Sarah MarshallIt was okay. It was funny at time, and Ray seemed to like it.
Rachel Getting Married Not a bad movie, but not the best either.
The Legend of Bloody Mary Well, it was actually pretty good.
Séance Was also surprisingly good
Little Chenier: A Cajun Story Basically turned out being the cajun version of "Of Mice and Men" with a twist. It was pretty good. Although, from an 'outsider's prospective' now a days there are few that talk as they do in the movie. Each actor over did it a bit.
The LongshotsIt is based on a true story about a small town girl who plays as the lead quarterback with the high school boy's football team. It actually turned out to be good, despite it being the old tired concept.
The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice I liked it. It was pretty good.
I have bought:
50% off Pre-played movies, so I paid-
The Bourne Ultimatum $7.99 (We now have all 3.)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix $6.99 (We now have the whole collection so far.)
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium $7.99 (I am hoping Juliana will like it later on)
Horton Hears A Who $7.99 We bought it for Juliana, but brought it over to let Chick watch it today.
The Holiday - $4.99 I final bought it!
Fracture -$5.90 Anthony Hopkins did it again -perfect preformace!

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
"Dirty Dancing" it is one of my favorite movies of all time, but my favorite part of the entire movie is the end lol. Click HERE to see the video of the song hehe.
Right after watching "Dirty Dancing" on Showtime "Freedom Writers" has come on. It is a really good movie and is based on a true story about a real teacher. We also own a copy of it as well.
Speaking of movies the Netflix movie I just sent back today was "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" If you can get passed the first 20 minutes, it is actually a pretty good movie. Even though it isn't as good as "Hellboy" in many of ways; it is still worth seeing. At least all the important actors/characters are re-introduced. Not to mention many of the scenes are well worth seeing. The graphics are awesome!! All in all, I don't think I will be buying this one anytime soon. Personally I do not think it is worth spending $20.00 on.

Charlotte's Web ; The Final Season
I just got finished watching the live action "Charlotte's Web." I have to say it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Personally, it is a movie for young children and no one else. The animals were cute and Charlotte was pretty neat looking, I will give the director that. Even though there is an award winning cast, I much rather the classic original cartoon movie over this one by far. Of course, the book rules them all, but that is another thing altogether.
Before watching "Charlotte's Web" I was able watch most of "The Final Season" while doing some "chores" around the house. I really liked the movie from what I saw of it and would love to finish watching it, but it doesn't seem to be coming on again today or this week.
I stopped watching "The Final Season" to watch "Charlotte's Web" because I figured I would never waste money renting "Charlotte's Web," but I would gladly rent "The Final Season" from Netflix if I need to. So, in someways I am glad it worked out the way it did.
As I am typing this I am watching "Back to the Future: Part III" which I haven't seen in a long time. I am glad I stumbled onto it. Coming on next is "The Holiday" which I have seen dozens of times and would LOVE to own it - maybe this Christmas I can find it on it on sale at Walmart again. In the last year or so Ray and I have slowed WAY down on buying movies, but I LOVE "The Holiday" and if there ever comes a time where we have to have Direct TV shut off at least I can still watch it anytime I want.

Rocky Balboa ; World Trade Center
This morning, amongst other things, I got a chance to watch most of "World Trade Center" and "Rocky Balboa" on Showtime which we are getting 6 months free as Hurricane Support from Direct TV.
When it comes to "World Trade Center" I was rather bored with it. I understand it was a made as a contribute to 911, but as movies go I was bored. I am not even worried about catching the rest of it. It was coming back on right after "Rocky Balboa". I am watching "Erin Brockovich" now while typing this.
On the other hand, "Rocky Balboa" was pretty good. I thought it was going to be a disappointment, but to my surprise it wasn't. It was a very heartfelt side of "Rocky". All that I ask is, as much as I LOVE all the "Rocky" movies enough, is enough. This movie was a prefect way to end the series. Applause to Sylvester Stallone and everyone who made the movie what it turned out to be.
Okay back to my tag and tutorial. HUGS to all StarLady

Movies
On our (Ray, his dad, mom and I) way back from picking satsumas (click HERE to see more about Satsumas) at about 12 noon, we stopped off at Movie Gallery . We rented Anacondas 3, Iron Man, The Happening, Defidently, Maybe . Ray and I decided to stay and watch a few of the movies at their house.
Anacondas 3 in my opinion was just made for anyone involved to make a quick buck because the first 2 went over so well. It sucks, the snakes are clearly computer animated. There was no thought process involved in "trying" to made them real. This is all aside from the storyline and structure are old and tired. I would recommend NOT wasting your time on this one.
Iron Man surprised me. It was actually a pretty awesome movie. I have never read the comic books in which the storyline was derived, and maybe that is why I liked it more than someone who follows the Iron Man comics. Diffidently worth the time spent watching it.
I haven't had the chance to finish watching The Happening (which seems to be strange so far). I have not watched Defidently, Maybe yet.
While I am on the subject of movies, I do rent movies from Netflix which for the most part cuts way down on the money we would spend otherwise on renting movies. The latest movie I rented was 300. Sure it have been around a lil' while, but hey it was a great movie! In a nut shell it is about 300 Spartan soldiers and the Spartan King fighting a war against the Persian army. I think it is more of an "acquired taste" kind of movie, but seeing as I normally don't like war movies maybe that says something about the movie.
