The Big Chill

Watched: 4/27/08
With: Joey
Year: 1983

Watched: 4/26/08
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: Netflix, one of my favorite Agatha Christie books.

With: Joey
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: Joey's Netflix

The Mist

Watched: 4/18/08
With: Joey
Year: 2007
Reason for watching: Netflix

The Island
