Weekend Movie Marathon
Unwatched DVDs
My collection of unwatched DVDs is getting out of hand! I now have a whopping 274 movies in my collection that I haven't watched yet. At least not since getting the DVD. There may be a few in there that I saw before getting the DVD. But I never seen since getting it.

As usual I am going to list below my Unwatched DVD Collection... This is my complete unwatched DVD collection. Including horror movies... which I will not watch until October... as well as the movies that is in the packages I am expecting. Since she told me her receipt says it should arrived today I figured it was safe to add them. Figuring even if they don't arrive today... they will most likely be here before the weekend is over.

If you substract the horror titles from the list (it's not October yet), that doesn't leave too many. 
Probably too much for only one weekend though.

My favourites from your list (in no particular order):

Black Hawk Down
Jarhead
Watchmen
Catch Me if You can
Good Will Hunting (one of my All Time favourites)
Immortal (even though the comic books are muuch better)
Mystic River (a Must)
A Time to Kill

A title that sounds interesting, but might as well turn out to be horrible: Cinderella Man
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

It looks to me like you could do a Hitchcock marathon, or a WW II marathon.

The titles I put in bold are ones that I am still waiting to arrive. But they could be here as early as today. So I should be able to get to at least some of them before the weekend is over.

I just tried to track it with the confirmation number she gave me. It worked... seemed it is 2 words for the same thing. And the package is being delivered today!

Still want to read your review of Black Hawk Down. So my suggestion is to look it on weekend.

And I was wondering you've not seen these:

237. Star Wars IV: A New Hope
238. Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
239. Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi


Never seen or just not seen on DVD from your collection?

My Thoughts:
A little explanation is needed on this one here at Invelos. At the other forum I am teased all the time because it is well known that I do not like music... no... not any type of music (I know... I heard it all... I am weird... it makes no sense... what-have-you). Anyway during one such time I was teased about doing a musical marathon or something like that. which lead to something like my not having enough in my collection even if I included my daughter's movies.  And I wouldn't be buying any. Which lead to a comment I made about if someone sent me one... then I would watch it. And of course my friend that sent me those dvds did not forget that comment and sent me this movie. Well a promise is a promise she sent it... I have to watch it. 

Ok... what to say about the movie. First let me say... wow.. this one has a lot of music in it. Made it impossible to just ignore the music like I can normally do. Which kinda sucked for me... because the movie can't change how I feel about music. It is what it is... and there is nothing I can do about that. Now the story on the other had I enjoyed very much. Such a detailed look at his life... both the good and the bad. Instead of starting the movie from the beginning and going in chronological order (which I normally prefer) this movie uses flashbacks. I normally don't care for flashbacks because they can easily make a story confusing. But in the case of Ray the flashbacks works extremely well and I think makes a more powerful movie. I've only known Jamie Foxx as a comedian... but I must say he impressed me here. I thought he did a wonderful job in the title role.

I find it hard to believe that I am saying this... but this is one musical I am glad I have in my collection... and yes... I can see myself watching it again. So there you go... a surprise for both of us. A surprise for you all that I actually watched a musical... and it being the first one in my marathon. As well as a surprise for me as I enjoyed it much more then I thought I would.

My Rating: 3.5/5

The comedian time is long gone.
Foxx' record holds such great stuff as
- Jarhead
-The Soloist
- Any Given Sunday
-The Kingdom
- Collateral
- Ali

Any of them is worth watching
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

And the Tuohys have found something just as life-changing: a beloved new son and brother. This real-life story of family and of Michael's growth into a blue-chip football star will have you cheering with its mix of gridiron action and heartwarming emotion.

My Thoughts:
Being such a big Sandra Bullock fan I been wanting to see this one... especially since she won the Oscar for her role in it. And I must say... it is an Oscar she deserved. She was definitely excellent in this film. I also thought that Quinton Aaron did a fantastic job as well. I enjoyed every minute of this movie. The story is very well told. And like the above movie is one that is based off a true story. I am so happy this has been added to my collection... thanks to the help of a kind friend. If you haven't checked this one out yet... I definitely recommend it.

Trying to find her place among jocks, athletes and other subcultures, Cady crosses paths with the meanest species of all – the Queen Bee, aka the cool and calculating Regina (Rachel McAdams), leader of the school's most fashionable clique, The Plastics. When Cady falls for Regina's ex-boyfriend, though, the Queen Bee is stung - and she schemes to ruin Cady's social future. Cady's own claws soon come out as she leaps into a hilarious "Girl World" war that has the whole school running for cover.

My Thoughts:
OK... What do I think about this one? Coming freshly out of it... I found it entertaining for sure. But for some reason I was expecting more laugh out loud moments. I found it to be a fun... silly story... but not something to really laugh at. But I did have a good time watching it. Glad I have it in my collection now.

My Thoughts:
I remember seeing the case to this movie in Walmart when it first came out. I had it in my hand trying to decide if I wanted to try it or another choice. I went with the other choice then... even though I have been very curious about watching this movie. But for some reason I never got around to getting it. Thankfully yesterday it was in the package that was sent to me... and I finally got to see it. While not the best thriller I have seen... it is definitely good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It has a good story... and I really liked Leelee Sobieski in this movie. Thought she did a great job.

Frikkin' loved this movie. Wasn't sure I would. I'm a HUGE Sandra Bullock fan (you should've seen me when she won the Oscar... it was an embarassing sight) but I had ZERO desire to see this film. I trugged it to the theatre because it was Bullock, and walked out of the theatre completely in love with it. I saw it in the theatre four times, and have watched it five times on blu-ray so far.
The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play.

And I thought I was bad!    This was my first time seeing it. I have a few more of hers to watch from the package I got yesterday. Though a couple of them were from very early on in her career.
