Thanks! I will be taking my husband along, so no girly movies undortunately I think he'd want to see Stealth

40 Year Old Virgin was also really funny. It's got a sweet edge to it that made it a little less typical. I see almost any movie with Catherine Keener, and she was very good in this. The chest waxing scene alone is hysterical. I can't believe he actually did that to himself on film!

RipHer2Shreds said:

I LOVE her! She is the best. This might be the one then!

I want to go see "DOOM" this weekend.

Cute subject matter, but not too deep. Way too long. Needs to be edited down. Pretty weak IMO. Kids might like it.

Not yet.

But it's from the guy who wrote Buffy and Angel (Joss Wheadon) and he's very good.

I would go and see this.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I LOVE CATHERINE KEENER. I don't remember what movie I saw her in first. There's this great movie, that I can't remember the name of, with her and Steve Buscemi. It's about film making. She has this incredible scene where she's practicing a scene. I loved that movie. Some people might not like it though. Oh Oh I think it's called LIVING IN OBLIVION.
