Here's what we saw last month:
- Casino Royale (I'm not much of Bond follower but this movie was pretty good! The movie was about Bond as he starts out as a double-0 agent, so he wasn't as suave and confident as the character typically is. It was good, I'd recommend it.)
- The Queen (It was.....good. I wasn't blown away and I wonder why it received so much praise. Helen Mirren did a good job of portraying Queen Elizabeth and it seemed to be true to the actually events. It does help answer some questions as to why the monarchy responded the way they did to Diana's death.)
- Deja 'Vu (Mr. Washington is at it again! The story line was, let's say, odd. I didn't know that this movie bordered on sci-fi. It doesn't seem to matter much though, Denzel is just so cool, I'd watch just about anything with him in it! So, if you like action, mystery and a dash of sci-fi then I'd reccommend this film.)
- Stomp the Yard (the dancing was cool. The story line, not so much.)
- Miss Potter (this was the story of Beatrix Potter, author of the Peter Rabbit stories. I enjoyed the movie very much. It was a delightful little movie of how she got her books published as well a little romance thrown into the mix. Yes, I used the word delightful to describe the movie!)
- Bleak House (this was a BBC production and, as always, they did a great job. The movie was based on the Charles Dickens novel of the same name. And since it was 3 disks long we watched it over a 4 night period. It was fun to have something to watch for a week and it gave us something to talk about....like what exactly was going on and what we thought the outcome would be. The characters were well developed in this tragic tale, and I highly recommend it!)
- DreamGirls (Hmm. It wasn't quite what I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't bad. Long. But not bad. And I must agree....that Jennifer Hudson was pretty good too!)
- The Wild (our latest family movie night flick. I can sum this movie up in one word...LAME. Even for an animated kids movie it wasn't good. I don't recommend it. Lam-o.)

We bought the Wild while spending a week at my sister-in-laws. She doesn't have kids and mine were climbing her walls shelves and every other breakable stuff. The movie wasn't that great and didn't help in keeping the kids entertained. We also bought Over the Hedge while there, that one was better.
Bleak House sounds interesting.

Not much of a Bond lover myself, but I too enjoyed Casino Royale. It helps the story line that he's quite pleasant to look at! :0
