Ghost Hunters: Season 4: Part 1: Episodes 10-13

Watched: 4/25/09
With: myself
Year: 2008
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: More hauntings, new investigators-one I really do NOT like. Something about him bugs me. Interesting "case" where the client had stuff rigged and the person giving the tour never mentioned it. If I was Jason and Grant, I'd be so pissed. I'm actually very impressed in how they handle the reveal. Talk about professionalism.

Desperation

Watched: 4/10/09
With: Joey
Year: 2006

Marley & Me

Watched: 4/8/09
With: myself
Year: 2008
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: If you are an animal lover, in particular of dogs, and do not cry at the end of this movie then you have no soul. A very sweet and emotional movie. Only downfall was the casting of Owen Wilson-just didn't seem to fit. The book was better than the movie.

10,000 BC

Watched: 4/3/09
With: Joey
Year: 2008
Reason for watching: Joey's Netflix

ER: Season 2: Episodes 1-4

Watched: 4/3/09
With: myself
Year: 1995
