Harry Potter and the Deathly Halllows. Better than I expected and way better than the last part.

Contagion. Pretty decent overall. Few moments that would have made me cry but I did not because there were other people.

Surrogates.....Interestingly bland but thought provoking

The Town, WOW! Reminded my why I used to enjoy the Ben and Matt's skills. One very fine film couldn't ask to be more drawn in to a work of artful talent. Some great performances except for the lead FBI gent.

Centurion, say what? Bloody mess and of course the usual scape goating that lives on till this day. sigh.

TSOTSI, not the greatest performances, I've seen, but still pretty powerful story when you end up in a sobbing fetal position at the end of the movie. Gosh I cant take watching such movies these day, at least, not when I don't have a comedy in the wings. Maybe I'll catch the tailend of America's funniest videos.

Limitless with Bradley Cooper. Interesting beginning, then I just couldn't watch anymore. Didn't hate it, just didn't like.

I love films from the 40's and 50's. I just finished watching My Sister Eileen from 1955, which has a very strong Laverne and Shirley feel to it. It even stars Betty Garrett, who played Edna Babish!

The link above goes to where you can watch it free on Megavideo.

Description: Ruth and her beautiful sister Eileen come to New York's Greenwich Village looking for "fame, fortune and a 'For Rent' sign on Barrow Street". They find an apartment (such as it is!), but fame and fortune are a lot more elusive. Ruth gets the attention of playboy publisher Bob Baker when she submits a story about her gorgeous sister Eileen. She tries to keep his attention by convincing him that she, (a "spinsterish old-maid writer") and the gorgeous, man-getting Eileen are one and the same person.

To get a feel for the film first, if you like, here's a clip from it on YouTube.
