22. Babylon AD – ok this was kind of a weird movie. I liked the people in it. but honestly, I have no idea what the point of the movie was at all. It just made no sense to me at all.  I’m sure glad I just put it on to past the time late one night….otherwise I would have been annoyed I wasted my time on this lame movie.

23. Fast & the Furious – I liked the original. Was bored by the sequel. Skipped the third one. But with the whole crew from the first one coming back for this one, I had a little hope that it wouldn’t suck. Nope, it sucked. Boring! I had to force myself to finish this yawner.  I  should have just passed on this one.

24. Killer Hair -  this was a fun and flirty made for tv movie. Yes, it was predictable but I really enjoyed the lead of this movie. I think I may have to check out the book this was based on at some point. Just some fun frothy fun.

25. Hostile Makeover – just like “killer hair”, I enjoyed this made for tv movie.

26. Meteor (2 parts) – not a horrible made for tv miniseries movie, just not a great one. Kind of predictable but oh well. I do enjoy those end of the world, disaster kind of made for tv movies.

27. Storm (2 parts) – this was actually a good made for tv miniseries movie. It wasn’t predictable at all. In fact, I was surprised in a number of places, especially in terms of who died and when.  Would I watch it again? No probably not. But I enjoyed watching it nonetheless.

28. Maneater (2 parts) – another fun made for tv movie. Yes, I didn’t appreciate the obvious product ad in the middle of the movie for lotion but oh well. Sarah Chalke was very appealing as the lead. Not the best made for tv movie but it passed the time pleasantly.

29. Push – I didn’t hate this as much as I thought I might. I had heard it was a very boring film. It wasn’t that bad. Yes, it wasn’t a great movie by any stretch of the imagination but definitely not that bad. I wish it was a little easier to follow.

30. Princess Protection Program – this was a cute Disney film. Not challenging, not that plausible but oh well. Sometimes it’s nice just to shut off the brain and watch a  wholesome movie. The stars were very appealing I have to say.

31. He’s Just not that Into You – I was prepared to hate this movie. And surprisingly, I didn’t. I actually liked it. I found it charming. And even more surprisingly, Jennifer Aniston managed not to annoy me (which she normally does). Ginnfer Goodwin was really lovely in this movie. I was interested, I wanted to see what happened and I enjoyed this movie.

32. Bride Wars – this was a boring movie. I did not enjoy this at all. There was nothing plausible or pleasant about it. Definitely a flick one should skip.

33. Battlestar Caprica – I wanted to like this but it bored me. I will give the show a chance when it airs but honestly, as much as I liked the talent they had and how much I wanted to like it, I really felt like I was forcing myself to finish watching this.

34. Quantum of Solace –  I am not what you call a Bond aficionado but I did enjoy the last Bond movie. This one however, left me cold. It was just blah and kind of boring.

35. True Women –  this was an ok made for tv movie miniseries. I thought I saw this years ago but just didn’t remember anything about it.  I was honestly pretty surprised that Angie Jolie was in this.  I liked Dana Delany a lot so I enjoyed her performance. This movie was kind of preachy at times and a bit melodramatic but overall not the worst made for tv movie. And considering so many westerns and frontier movies are all about the men, it was nice to see one with more of a female perspective.

36. The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas –  oh my god was this a horrible movie. I can’t believe I was able to sit through the whole movie. I love Dolly but was this bad. The songs weren’t even that great to make it worth it.

37. Nights in Rodanthe – this one was a lot better than I expected. I think a lot of that is owed to Diane Lane. Because as predictable and saccharine as this movie was, she really made it watchable.

"I spent time hiking, bicycling, doing yoga and enjoying the spa. As anyone who has visited the La Costa Resort knows, it is a luxury hotel, not a rehab facility."

i just read this on people.com about paula abdul

"The cover article discusses how, in an effort to keep on keeping on in the business, she turned to painkillers and Chinese medicines to get her through her dance routines and tours. Because of her strenuous lifestyle, (constantly touring, shooting videos, etc,) by 2005, she was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition called reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome. The illness and pain were so severe that Paula was given a patch to wear that delivered medication about "80 times more potent than morphine."....She would also be known to take muscle relaxers and nerve medication, all to deal with the pain.The article states that "It was a combination of these factors that may have led to the impression that she was high at times when she was on the air."....As of last Thanksgiving, when she checked herself into La Costa Resort and Spa, in Carlsbad, California, she has weaned herself off of any medication."

why would this piss me off?  first off, i feel quite strongly that a person who is in intense pain and takes pain killers to help function and deal with the pain, is by no means an addict. they are taking medication to help control a situation that without the medication, is unbearable. that is if they are lucky enough to find something that helps. and by her going "oh i am off drugs now and everything is peachy keen!" well, that really belittles those people suffering with this horrible disease. it just, in my opinion, gives those people who believe that RSD and the pain it causes is no big deal or all in that person's head, some kind of "proof", however wrong that might be. i can just hear them saying "see paula abdul got over her pain - you just need to focus and get over yours. there's nothing really wrong with you."

at first i was excited she came out with the fact she had this disease. RSD is a highly misdiagnosed, not well known disease. but now i wish she would just shut her damn mouth because really, she does those really suffering with this disease, a real disservice.

16. duplicity - i really like julia roberts and clive owens. so i wanted to like this movie. it's not that i didn't like it but i don't know, looking back at it, it was just kinda ho-hum. they were cute together, the movie was fine but it was missing that spark i guess. maybe i was expecting more, i don't know. but it just kinda missed the mark. like i said, not a bad movie, just not a great one. definitely put it in the "to rent' pile if you haven't seen it. it will kill some time on a rainy sunday.

17. knowing - if you like science fiction, run, don't walk, and go see this movie. i have to say, this is honestly, one of the best science fiction movies i have seen in a long time. now i had heard bad things about it and thought the commercials looked totally cheesy so i was planning on avoiding this movie. and than i read roger ebert's review which raved about this movie and i decided, however hesitantly, to go see it (because lately, ebert and i have been on the same wavelength). i even ended up dragging my dad and we both loved it. this movie had everything - good plot, good action, and good acting. i was riveted and cared about what was happening and i was entertained and it made me think. i was honestly surprised with how good it was. now i can see how it could get some bad reviews - it moves a little slow at first and if you aren't a fan of science fiction you might be going "come on now!". but i mean it, if you like good science fiction, you must go see this movie! 

18. i love you man - this was another movie i probably wouldn't have seen without a push from roger ebert. i really enjoyed this movie, definitely more than i thought it would. yes it was funny but it was also really sweet. and didn't just play into typical stereotypes. i thought it really portrayed real people/real emotions. there was even a gross out kinda scene and i was ok (normally those kinds of scenes make me hate a movie but this one, i have to admit, made me chuckle a little). is it the best movie i ever saw ? no. but it made me laugh when i was watching it at parts and smile later when i thought about it. and i thought everyone in it just played their parts to perfection. a very enjoyable movie.
