Heroes: Season 1: Episodes 5-10

Watched: 6/29/08
With: Joey
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: Joey's Netflix
Opinion: Yes, it's sci-fi but some things should be just a little more realistic-the every day type of things-not the special powers that people have. So some things are urking me...probably the fact that I'm not a huge sci-fi fan and I'm watching a bunch of episodes together. Still think that it's a decent show and can understand the popularity.
Watch again?: probably...just not soon
Recommend?: probably

Perfect Murder, Perfect Town

Watched: 6/27/08
With: myself
Year: 2000
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: I had read the book on the JonBenet Ramsey case and saw that Netflix had the movie. It pretty much followed the book and what had happened during the investigation. Just wish that Mom and Dad were a helluva lot more cooperative...oh but wait, then their guilt probably would have been discovered.....

30 Days: Season 1 (Muslim and Americans, Straight Man in a Gay World, Off the Grid)

Watched: 6/26/08
With: Myself
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: This episode dealt with a Christian man from WV going to Michigan to live as a Muslim for 30 days. After 9/11, an episode like this needed to happen in order to show that Muslims are not the enemy and their faith is actually a non-violent one unlike what is portrayed on television. These episodes should open the eyes of many Americans.

With: Joey
Year: 1955
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: I've always been a fan of Hitchcock's moives and knew that he did a half hour show in the 55's so I put them on my list for Netflix. No crazy camera angles yet but definitely good suspense plots.

Watched: 6/21/08
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix, fan of the show
Opinion: This was basically a small piece of their 11 year history-a best of. It's the CBS special that ran a few years back. Some laugh out loud moments.

With: myself

We Were Soldiers

Watched: 6/15/08

Watched: 6/13/08
With: Joey
Year: 1962
Reason for watching: Joey's Netflix, I have this one on video

Murder in Three Acts

Watched: 6/9/08
With: myself
Year: 1986
Reason for watching: Netflix, fan of Agatha Christie
Opinion: I don't know if it's because I've seen David Suchet as Hercule Poirot first that it is hard for me to accept a different actor playing Poirot or if I'm like everyone else and just prefer Suchet as Poirot. This is another great plot but overacting in this made for tv movie.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: only for true die hard Agatha Christie fans

Advanced 5-Mile Walk at Home

Watched: 6/9/08

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls

Watched: 5/31/08
With: Joey and Julie
Year: 2008
Reason for watching: It's Indy!
Opinion: I loved the fact that they made sure that it had the feel of the first Indiana Jones's movies. Snappy funny lines, great chemistry among the actors. I'm not sure about Cate Blanchett being in it. Without giving anything away, it was obvious that Steven Spielberg was missing a part of his life while director and producing this film.
