| 2009-10-28 | Dave | |

| 2009-07-24 | Broadway Danny Rose | |
| 2009-07-14 | Heroes, Season 1 | Really liked the first half of the season or so, but by the end it just didn't make any sense. Not continuing on to Season 2. |

| 2009-05-01 | Star Wars IV: A New Hope | |
| 2009-03-04 | King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters | Documentary about the world record Donkey Kong score -- surprisingly engrossing! |

| 2009-02-13 | Horton Hears a Who! | Family Movie Night #3 |
| 2009-01-30 | The Secret of NIMH | Family Movie Night. Before the movie started, Kaeta asked, "Does this movie have a dragon?" I said, "It has a cat named dragon." Does she think every movie has a dragon in it? |
| 2009-01-27 | O Brother, Where Art Thou | My second viewing, K's first. Great movie! |
| 2009-01-12 | The Karate Kid | Wax on. Wax off. |
| 2009-01-10 | A Bug's Life | Our first Family Movie Night. We went out for pepperoni rolls at Double Dave's, then all sat together on the futon and watched the movie. Kaeta got to hold the bowl of popcorn in her lap -- lots of fun! |
| 2009-01-03 | Life is Beautiful | |
| 2008-12-27 | Cat Ballou | Watched with Mom and Dad in Angleton one night -- very funny! |
| 2008-12-21 | The Family Man | Watched while wrapping Christmas presents. |
| 2008-12-14 | Gremlins | In the 24 years since this movie first came out, a lot of advances have been made in special effects. Nuff said. |
| 2008-12-06 | Dan in Real Life | |
| 2008-12-04 | 24: Season 1 | (TV show) I want to go online and rant about the ending, but the show is from 2001... Anyone who ever cared has probably moved on by now. |
| 2008-10-19 | Enchanted | Meh. |
| 2008-10-11 | Muppets From Space | |
| 2008-09-05 | Children of Men | A good opportunity to use the word "suckfest." Interesting story/themes, at least. |
| 2008-08-16 | Groundhog Day | Watched it on hulu.com while cleaning up the study. "What if there IS no tomorrow? There wasn't one today!" |
| 2008-08-10 | Iron Man | Very fun. |
| 2008-08-05 | The Rock | I'd take pleasure in guttin' you, boy! |
| 2008-07-27 | Howl's Moving Castle | We loved it! |
| 2008-07-27 | The Dark Knight | The Joker was terrifying. I didn't like Batman as much as in the last movie, but he was still ok. Some scenes reminded me of thought experiments from ethics class (e.g., any time someone had to decide who would die). The end was more complex and thought-provoking than a normal superhero movie (kudos, Chris Nolan). |
| 2008-07-06 | American Splendor | Loved it. |
| 2008-06-28 | Across the Universe | All I knew going in was: it's a musical featuring the music of the Beatles. Big segments of it were like a trippy music video -- very annoying. The music was good, but not good enough to save the movie, in my opinion. User reviews on Metacritic were pretty good (7.4), but I'd give it about a 3. |
| 2008-06-13 | Mr. and Mrs. Smith | |
| 2008-06-08 | Searching for Bobby Fisher | |
| 2008-05-26 | Juno | Wes Anderson + Napoleon Dynamite + teen pregnancy. |
| 2008-04-19 | You've Got Mail | I love hearing the sound of a modem connecting! We like this movie. |
| 2008-04-18 | Wallace and Grommit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit | I'm just crackers about cheese! |
| 2008-04-03 | LOST (TV) | We watched the entire LOST series (to date), starting with the pilot episode. I don't remember exactly when we finished, but I wanted to put something in here to show why we didn't watch a movie for 2 months. LOST Season 4 picks up on 4/24, and we're ready! |
| 2008-02-24 | Shrek the Third | We had very low expectations after Shrek 2, but I think this is my favorite of the three. |
| 2008-02-14 | Hitch | Kevin James, you are my dancing hero. |
| 2008-01-25 | The Pursuit of Happyness | Really good. |
| 2008-01-22 | The Magnificent Seven | "We deal in lead, mister." This movie is awesome. |
| 2008-01-14 | High School Musical | |
| 2008-01-10 | The Lake House | Pretty predictable. I had high hopes, because Keanu Reeves has a history of making good movies that involve time travel. But this was more of a "Bogus Journey" than an "Excellent Adventure." |
| 2008-01-06 | The Nativity Story | |
| 2008-01-03 | Cheaper By the Dozen (1950) | Good, and very true to the book. |
| 2007-12-30 | Futurama: Bender's Big Score | They're back, baby! |
| 2007-12-27 | Mr. Saturday Night | Billy Crystal plays a comedian who has some success in the 50s (including his own TV show), but he becomes too proud to deal with it when people don't treat him with the utmost respect, so over time his career dwindles. Reminded us a little of Orny Adams (who's featured in the movie Comedian). |
| 2007-12-15 | Hot Fuzz | Awesome. |
| 2007-12-01 | The rest of Friday Night Lights, Season 1 | |
| 2007-11-13 | Friday Night Lights: Season 1, disc 2 | NetFlix |
| 2007-11-05 | Friday Night Lights: Season 1, disc 1 | NetFlix |
| 2007-11-02 | Willow | |
| 2007-10-27 | The Music Man (1962) | "What do you folks do in this town for fun?" "Mind our business." |
| 2007-10-20 | Blades of Glory | Borrowed from Johnathan. "I call top bunk!" "Sorry, I already called it in my head." |
| 2007-10-19 | Say Anything | |
| 2007-10-10 | The Sound of Music | Did you know this movie is 3 hours long? |
| 2007-09-21 | Must Love Dogs | |
| 2007-09-15 | Ocean's 12 | Bah. There were too many scenes where some loud music would play, and a lot of action would happen, and someone would look at the camera and kind of smile at you, like "hey, did you see what we just did there?" And the problem was, "No, I did NOT see what you just did there! I have no IDEA what you're doing! Explain yourself!" |
| 2007-09-14 | Stardust | Saw it @ Gateway cinema, which smells like feet. |
| 2007-09-09 | Babel | Netflix. Reminded us a lot of Crash. So many bad situations, it was stressful to watch, but I can see why it was nominated for Best Picture. |
| 2007-08-31 | Capote | |
| 2007-08-25 | The Notebook | |
| 2007-08-22 | The 40 Year Old Virgin | |

| 2007-08-19 | Chariots of Fire (1981) | |
| 2007-08-17 | The Holiday | |
| 2007-08-15 | Bridge to Terabithia | |
| 2007-08-13 | The Office Series 2 (British version) | Way raunchier than we expected, and just hard to watch sometimes. The characters have no redeeming qualities! |
| 2007-08-11 | The Office Series 1 (British version) | We signed up for Netflix on 8/4/07, so I'll start including everything we get from Netflix, even if it's a TV show. |
| 2007-07-26 | Facing the Giants | Not predictable at all... At...all. |
| 2007-07-24 | One Night with the King | |
| 2007-07-15 | Music and Lyrics | I liked the music (by Adam Schlessinger) a lot. |

| 2007-06-16 | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End | |
| 2007-06-08 | United 93 | Definitely worth watching, but very hard to watch as well. |
| 2007-05-20 | Chalk | A locally made mockumentary about teachers -- we loved it! |
| 2007-05-13 | The Prestige | d - Worth the second viewing. |
| 2007-05-12 | The Prestige | Recommended by Colin, very good! |
| 2007-04-28 | Mad Hot Ballroom | |
| 2007-04-17 | Grindhouse | d - Went with Curt @ the Gateway theater. This was a fun movie (2 movies, really). One thing I noticed: when a movie has a ton of blood and death, at some point it makes me think about my own mortality. This happened near the end of the first movie (Planet Terror). |
