The Blue Butterfly - about a boy with terminal cancer whose last wish is to travel to a rain forest and see his favorite blue butterfly. He convinces a world renowned entomologist to take him. We watched this with the kids. Petey fell asleep, Zack watched it and loved all the lizards, snakes and bugs that he got to see. Connor climbed all over everyone. I liked it because it's based on a true story.

Failure to Launch - I didn't expect to like this. Maybe there is something fundamentally wrong with me, but I just do not find Matthew McConaughey attractive. Frankly, he gets on my nerves. Sara Jessica Parker isn't very high on my favorite list either. However, I did enjoy the film much more than I expected thanks to the hilarious supporting cast.

Christmas with the Kranks - another film to watch with the kids. Entertaining, that's about it. I wanted to watch it because I did enjoy the book ("Skipping Christmas").

Tell me your favorite movies. I'd like to watch some new things that I wouldn't normally think to check out. Keep in mind that I don't watched rated-R movies. Thanks for your input :)

I'm not a McConaughey or Parker fan, either. I think they are both conceited in a fundamental way. And if you had to just base it upon looks, they're not my kind of pretty. I like things a bit softer and warmer, while they are both a bit too angular to catch my interest.

I'm a boring movie-goer. I find few movies so good that I want to sit through the entirety in one session. That, and who's really got time for that very often? Not you, not me. If I've got time like that and I don't want to spend it with the kids or other people, I'll read a book or do LJ reading. If I do watch a movie, it needs to be hilarious and have an extremely happy ending. I liked "Big Fish."

One of my FAVORITES is Dead Again with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson. It's older (maybe early 90's?), and SOOOOOO good.

We watched Firewall with Harrison Ford tonight. We really liked it - it seemed believable. I noticed Harrison Ford doesn't run like a twenty year old anymore - in fact he runs like me!How old is he anyway?
