I do love movies.  And since I've joined Netflix I've been watching a lot of them.  Here's what I think of my recent viewings.

My taste in movies is pretty eclectic - you'll find most genres and most eras represented here.  I'm updating several times a week, so bookmark and come back often to see what's new.

(A note about selection - I know, I know, negative reviews are the most fun to read.  They're probably fun to write.  But I'm not getting paid by a newspaper or syndicate to sit in a movie theater and watch an assigned movie, so these are self-selected as movies I think I'm going to like.   Sometimes it turns out I'm wrong.  If so, I'll say so.  But the elegant, Dorothy Parker style stiletto words...  not so much.)

And without further ado - THE MOVIES:

Adventures In Babysitting  - "Nobody gets out of here without singing the blues."

A.I. Artificial Intelligence - "They made us too smart, too quick, and too many.  We're suffering for the mistakes they made, because when the end comes all that will be left is us.  That is why they hate us."

All The President's Men - "It could be a story, or it could just be crazy Cubans."

Behind Enemy Lines - "Hey, we're on reconn, so let's reconn something."

Bend It Like Beckham - "I don't want you running around half-naked in front of men!"

The Birdcage - "This is less like Palm Beach than I imagined."

The Bourne Identity - "I liked him better when I thought he was dead."

Breakfast At Tiffany's - "Quelle night!"

Cactus Flower - "I think I'm going to kiss you."  "When will you know for sure?"

Corpse Bride - "There's been a grave misunderstanding."

The Day After Tomorrow - "Mankind survived the last ice age. We're certainly capable of surviving this one."

El Cid - "Tomorrow we will fight side by side, my king and I."

Enemy At The Gates - "Do you know how to shoot?"  "A little."

F/X - "Get me the smoke pots like the ones we used in Hellraisers."

Hidalgo - "Mister, you can say anything you want about me, but I'm gonna have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way."

Houseboat - "I have given you the finest education in all of Europe - you do not know how to do anything!"  "Then perhaps I will run for Congress."

Just Like Heaven - "I told her to walk to the light - she wouldn't do it!"

Love Actually - "You know, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered."

MirrorMask - "I'll slip unnoticed through the darkness, like a dark, unnoticed slippy thing."
