Haven't been able to rent GR yet. It's never in. Apocalypto is frickin awesome.

first to answer the question. Tuesdays rental releases I snagged Black Snake Moan which was pretty good.Although it took awhile to get used to Sam Jackson with hair lol.

from the list, i have already rented Ghost Rider, Norbit & Apocalypto. I was pleasantly surprised with all three movies. I consiensiousy skipped them all in theartres. But each surpases my rental expectations. all in a been a good month via netflix. I just recieved Breach and have heard good things there too. so can't wait for good moment to pop it in.

Alas, call me crazy but for some reason after reading the release list, I'm going to add Reno 911 miami to it. LOL sometimes I have to wonder about me :)

I liked Bridge to Terebitha. I like how the two children use their fantasy world to deal with their problems in the real world and not just escape them.

I enjoyed the hell out of GR. Any word on a sequel yet???

muchdrama • Jun 28, 2007, 12:09pm •
Oh, Good God in Heaven...we might see a sequel to this awful, awful film.

muchdrama • Jun 28, 2007, 12:10pm •
PS--Apocalypto WAS awesome. How many films can you say THAT about when it's in a language you don't understand and there are NO subtitles?

almostunbiased • Jun 28, 2007, 12:30pm •
I'll admit I watched it with subtitles, but I wouldn't have had too and still would have loved it.

No plans on watching Apocalypto - sorry, again a case of me not wanting to support Gibson. I'm sure it's well made - he's a good director.

I watched Bridge to Terabithia with my wife for her birthday as she REALLY wanted me to see it. I didn't like how they depicted the fantasy sequences as real, but other than that aspect it was very well done.

A week earlier she had agreed to watch Ghost Rider on DVD finally. And she really enjoyed it despite hating Nic Cage and finding the concept of the character ridiculous (as do I, for that matter - the concept - I can take or leave Cage, but like him much better than Cruise.)
