Monday's Movie Meme

My Collection 5-31-09
MOST VIEWED: Lord of the Rings Trilogy (mine)... it's the movie I turn on whenever I'm alone or just want something happening in the background
1408 (Jesse's)... I also watch this with him obviously.... one of the best horror movies to just turn on... always good
NEVER VIEWED: The Changeling... we bought this really cheap on impulse but we haven't been in the modd to watch it... there's also a bunch that his mom gave us but we don't trust her judgement after Last Kiss
GUILTY PLEASURE: The Cottage... great horror/comedy that no one has ever heard of... most people that have seen it hate the humor in it though...
Dance of the Dead... possibly the only good after dark horrorfest movie made...
MOST SHARED: Ghost Town... everyone can enjoy this and they do!
WHY DID WE BUY THIS?: Beetlejuice... Husband said it was great but it turns out the only good part of this movie was Beetlejuice and he's in shockingly little of the movie...
MOST TREASURED: Lord of the Rings... all 3 extended editions...
WILDCARD: Re-cycle... this is on here because we have a bunch of great gems that no one has ever heard of and this is a really ambiguous one... great Japanese horror

Falling Stars 04-05-09
Brenden Fraser: Although never a huge shining star... he was blessed with well-known and good roles (Blast from the Past.. some of those random teen kind of movies.. and then The Mummy) but he has since spiraled downward with the third Mummy.. Inkheart... Journey to the Center of the Earth... It seems he is still doing cheesy comedy kind of acting that was popular in the early 90's and it's just not working out anymore there, Brenden...
Adam Sandler: Arguably the king of comedy... starting his career with things like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore (neither of which I was overly impressed with).. and moving on to even better things like Big Daddy, The Wedding Singer, Anger Management... but has now taken on some more serious roles... Click, Reign Over Me, Funny People... and they are just kind of getting worse as it goes on longer... unlike Brenden.. Adam is trying to act less immaturely like his earlier stuff... but that's not exactly working either.
Meg Ryan: For a while she was in tons of romantic comedies in which she was wonderful... Sleepless in Seattle, You've got Mail... Kate and Leopold... and since then she's just kind of fell off the map with some random things here and there...
Jim Carrey: His new stuff sucks...
