    You are certainly entitled to that opinion.

    Did you not like it? I thought it had a great story and Smith gave a very good performance.

    One of my faves, and one of the few movies I actually own. Kate Winslet is phenomenal and Elijah Wood is so creepy in that flick.

    at a free screening for adam sandler's new movie. forget what they said the title is.

    these seats are damn comfy and reclineable.

    and the guy in front of me is wearing suspenders ... to hold up his sweatpants that have a big brown stain on the crack.

    ok, it's starting.

    Suspender Boy sounds like the prototypical Adam Sandler patron of the arts.

    "bedtime stories" is the name of it.

    silly-funny-cute. if you've got kids, it's worth a viewing. some laugh-out moments (sandler's cell phone ring one of them; mr. bugsy being another).

    russell brand has a few funny moments. and sandler is as he usually is: sandler.

    courteney cox isn't very good but at least they kept her parts to a minimum.

    3.5 stars out of 5 (mostly because it's a fun little disney flick).

    The look on Gyllenhall's face in that scene is amazing.

    But it was 90 minutes of one horrific plot turn after another, for about 2 minutes of payoff that took forever t show up. I found that movie incredibly depressing.

    It was worth my money. The scene in the bathroom was well done.

    But, it was missing something in the grand scale for me, keeping it from being great.

    Saw Cadillac Records tonight. Was aware before we went that it's historically inaccurate. Still, it was decent entertainment about the Chess Records blues label. Eamonn Walker was great in a small role as Howlin' Wolf.

    Just finished Hancock and was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps it's because just about every review I read tore it to pieces, or maybe it's because I am a big Will Smith fan, but either way I enjoyed the flick.

    I felt Smith did a damn good job with a character who could have probably been written better. Also thought that even though the "twist" was indeed pretty stupid-I mean what are the odds they'd run into each other?-once I bought into the movie's explanation it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it could have been.

    Overall, pretty solid way to spend a couple hours. 7/10.
