Yeah its really cliche. I can pretty much call every next scene and move.

I really liked the movie, I was not expecting to get emotionally drawn in but they did do great job of doing that

this movie is absolutely 1 of the funniest movies in last few yearsI prefer Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil movies but that has nothing to do with believable.
Zombieland is one of the better movies I've seen this year. It totally appeals to my sense of humor.

Re-watched Full Metal Jacket again last night. I'd forgotten just how amazing Ermey is in that role. His opening scene is just masterful.
Starting watching RED last night on Amazon VOD ( that can fit in here, right??) but internet connection shit the bed in the middle of it.

Watched "I Love you Phillip Morris" last night.
Odd movie, sort of, but great performances by both Jim Carey and Ewan MacGregor. Crazy sort of a twist and a sad-ish ending. Bizzare jab at GW Bush at the end.

I thought Red was okay better then average action movie
Looks like the rates are going to be going up:

I think we'll be dropping the DVD option and go back to streaming only.

The future looks tough for Netflix.
Just as I was getting cozy with my Netflix plan they change it up. I saw the article wa posted on CNN yesterday. This blows...

I'm not so upset about the cost increase (annoying, sure, and certainly making me rethink my plan choice), but what's really got me pissed off right now is that I hade to read about it on AlpineZone. No email from Netflix, and it's not mentioned anywhere in my account info or on the website, unless I go to the "Change Plans" tab in Your Account, and even then, it's really just a warning that if you change your plan now and then want to change it back, it'll be at the new price, regardless of when you do it.
So, my question to answer now is whether Netflix is at all worth it. The only time we use it, really, is in the morning when I work out I watch streaming (currently working through Lost, on episode 9, can't say I'm really getting into it). Discs generally sit on the shelf for a couple of weeks before we just send them back without watching them. So, streaming-only seems to be a logical choice, but the current movie selection isn't good enough, even in combination with 1 hour a day streaming, to support the expense. Guess it's time to investigate Hulu and others more closely.

Doesn't sound good for Netflix at all... We'll have to see how this plays out.
Yeah, if there is a new movie on on-demand I want to watch I end up paying for it (I use Amazon Streaming since it's cheaper than FIOS) because I don't want to wait the extra month for it to get to Netflix. I find I've been using the Netflix streaming mainly for all the kids movies/shows that I can keep the little buggers occupied with.

I dropped down to 2 DVDs the last time they increased the price so I actually have been paying Netflix less per month this past year for use of pretty much the same services since we rarely watch more than 1-2 DVDs per week at most.
The increase for me is $15 to $20 which is a 1/3 increase. Pretty big jump. I hope they offer more streaming content. Every once in a while, I check the on demand queue to see if anything I really want to watch is up there. Usually it is just S's TV shows or stuff I added but am in no rush to see.
I don't think $20 is too much. It is only $2 more than the old 3 DVD plan. And for unlimited rentals and streaming, not too bad. It would be nice if Netflix had more competition so there was something else worth jumping ship to if the price goes up again.

Last night I watched two flicks . one was "the truth" about a husband and wife that deal with a home invasion. It was just ok. Then we saw another one about a guy who keeps his family locked.in the basement. Also just ok... Can't recall the name of that one.
