Chronicles of Narna/Prince Caspian - can't wait to see it!
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - see you in the long lines with my tent!
You're so funny, Chas...just can't take those chick flicks, can you? ;-D I want to see "Made of Honor", but I'll probably watch it when it becomes a DVD. It sounds *CUTE* to me, and I'll probably enjoy it, even though there are a gazillion others like it. ;-D
Thanks, as always, for your good reviews! ~ Nancy
I don't hold you responsible fir this collection of clunkers so I gave you a ten...
outside of Ironman (which will be a clunker with great visuals), and the Indiana Jones which will be a great movie with a old guy clunker.. have you SEEN the cereal box picture>?????), and MAYBE Narnia.. the rest simply in a word, suck.
However, the rest will probably suck.
Nancy - about the only vantage to being single is not having to watch those :)
What kind of brainless, perverted fool came up with that plot for "Babysitters"? Every time I think the bar has dropped as low as possible, someone managers to take it lower.
The Eddie Murphy movie reminds me of his bomb, Pluto Nash or something to that affect.
