OK, want to hear how Edge of Darkness was? Not bad! Some fast kick ass violence that made me jump several times. Mel is good, he’s not as good as the Brit who played Craven for the BBC…who is better known as the guy trying to keep people alive on Jurassic Park. The hunter guy!

But…they updated it, took out the environmental issues and turned it into making clandestine weapons. Sigh. I liked the other theme better.

But I would. Makes me wish I could pull out the old VHS tape and play it. But I don’t have that player anymore! Wonder if the Brit version is available on DVD?

Oh, I’m so sad about TYV being gone already. It’s available for pre-order to buy on DVD, so I imagine it’ll be available to rent somewhat soon!

I think the best thing about seeing It’s Complicated is that my expectations were low. I was looking all over for Young Queen Victoria and it has already come and gone. I was really disappointed and settled for It’s Complicated instead. And it only cost me $5. All in all it was a great movie-going experience.

Irish, I laughed so hard I rolled at It’s Complicated. And raved about it to everyone.

Nice to go see a GROWN UP comedy once in a while.

LOL, Chance. You sound like my DH. His way of inviting me to a movie is “Want popcorn for dinner?”

I can’t go see a Nicholas Sparks film just cause I know he never ends anything happily.

I saw It’s Complicated with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin last weekend. I laughed so hard my side ached. I was just commenting to my friend yesterday that I’m starting to identify with the older couples in movies now instead of the younger ones. Just hit me with this last movie. Kind of a scary thing. Mortality is rearing its ugly head again.

I do like Roger…nicely said! I’ve been debating throwing off the synopsis need and going to see “Edge of Darkness”. I’m not a big Mel fan but I really liked the British mini series this movie is based upon. Though I’m sure the Brits did it better…

I mean, I can pount out a synopsis tonight…it doesn’t have to be a good one for tomorrow’s meeting. It could be in rough draft form…

Popcorn for lunch sounds good…

Topic change–but only because I read the review, I laughed hysterically.

Mind you, I realize in advance I’m likely to still see this movie even though this person said everything (and then some) I’ve already said about the movie. It’s trite and doomed for tragedy, but I can’t look away….
