Movies, the Mullens & You

Avid fans of The Marielle Show will recognize a subtle new addition to the Blog: Movies We Plan to Watch (But not Yet) [on the right, below Recent Reads We Loved]. This list shows the movies on our que at the Harris County Public Library (or those that will soon be on the list). You see, the library will send any video we request, from any branch of the library, to our branch just down the street - for free. This is especially enticing to the Sycamore half of our family. The catch is that we sometimes have to wait ~6 months for new releases, while old releases will get here in a matter of days. Since we can usually only watch a video every other weekend, this calls for some strategic planning on our part to make sure we don't get overloaded with 6 DVDs at once.

So, here's where your part comes in, Mr. & Mrs. Avid Fan, if you see a new movie that you really like, please recommend it to us as soon as possible - so we can see it sometime before we move. Also, if you see a movie on our list that was terrible, comment that to us as well - so we don't waste good weekends on bad movies.

Flight Plan -- I liked it a lot because it's suspenseful...I love a good twist.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves --classic, great action and story
Thoroughly Modern Millie --classic, but weird
Deja Vu --interesting, couldn't really happen, but pretty good
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure --you haven't seen this Ryan? I like it. Classic 80's.
Somewhere in Time--Another 80's. It's an ok love story. Watch out for the love scene, or "cockroach". :D

Heather would like you to know that if you are upset, you should not watch the Pursuit of Happyness, because most of the movie is pursuit, not so much happiness.
