Hey Lost!

I loved Star Trek, IB and D9...and really enjoyed Julie and Julia. I didn't watch Hurt Locker...

If you didn't watch The Hangover you should...EXCELLENT!

I'm going to have to agree with you all that this summer was exponentially better than last summer. Of course, it's easy to say that having not seen "G.I. Joe"!

District 9 definitely tops my list. What an unexpected gem! I want to see what happens to Wikus next!!! Will Christopher Johnson make good on his promise to return??? I MUST KNOW!

I did watch the Hangover but I cheated...I watched a dvd a friend gave me so I didn't get to enjoy it with a room full of people that's why I wasn't impressed with it. Plus I think the original Hangover (Very Bad Things) with Cameron Diaz and Jeremy Piven is a much funnier film anyways. I think that if you like the Hangover you might like Very Bad Things. It came out a long time ago I think like 1999 or even 1998.

Finally watched Up over the weekend and though it was good. But its not very high on my Pixar list. I think the first 15 minutes were fantastic and it was downhill from there. I would still give it a 4/5. I liked it better than Cars but not as good as of their other films.
