1) Constant Gardener:
Interesting, complex, sometimes exciting, overall good, but the spurts of action in this serious drama just stuck out to me. The conspiracy/detective/adventure aspects were okay, but I liked the characters' relationship development stuff.
2) The Squid and the Whale:
A little disturbing, about a super dysfunctional family. The older son's character is SO UNLIKEABLE. He's this wannabe intellectual who reminds me of someone I used to work with who was an English major and he kept asking other literarily-inclined ppl the STUPIDEST questions like "Have you read [insert famous book here]? That was good" over and over again. Such as, "Have you read the Great Gatsby? That was good. How about Catch-22? How about Hemingway? Old Man and the Sea? A Farewell to Arms? Catcher in the Rye? Lord of the Flies? Tom Sawyer? Melville? King Lear? Invisible Man? Pride and Prejudice?" ETC, ETC. OMG, I get it, you've read every high-school required reading, shut up, please, I wanted to kick his butt. OK, off track now.
3) King Kong:
Not my type of movie at all, but would've been better in the theater.
My most-watched movie ever is The Little Mermaid. A quote:
"I'm ready to know what the people know
Asking my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it, what's the word, BURN?"

Remember how Ariel rubbed her hand on the wrong cheek???
And how you thought the gooey stuff Ursula used was food.
Don't remember thinking gooey stuff was food hahaha... and the cheek thing-- living vicariously through Ariel allowed me to see all the goofs, man. Fave quote really probably is "What's a fire and why does it, what's the word, BURN?" Ahh memories... I think I'll do a new blog entry on it.
And evil human Ursula's name is Vanessa!!!
When's it my turn, wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above... (stretch hand towards top of cave then float back down again...)
You know what I think a great line from that movie is? Ariel: "I'm 16 years old. I'm not a child!"
Haha
One movie per trip for $14.99? That's only worth it if you live within walking distance to store.
What, what are u talking about, that's super cheap. If you rent each movie separately it's $4.25 each.
Wow, thanks for deleting my comment. I really enjoy being censored. Feels like China.
I wanted the last word, but now I have to have a new one. OK Last Word.
