I recommend "Insomnia" for people with insomnia - put me right to sleep and all I could think of while watching him struggle with sleeplessness was... rent this movie buddy!

Titanic-waaaay too long and too overrated
Lord of the rings-Fell asleep in like 10 minutes
The Royal Tenenbaums-very boring and i didnt get it.
Signs-very boring and wasnt scary at all.
Zoolander-Very stupid
Star Wars I and II-hated the first one and gave the second one the benefit of the doubt and wound up hating it even more! lol
A Beautiful Mind-didnt like it.
The Truman Show-It was too cheesy for my liking.
Boys Don't Cry-was good but disturbed me and was way too depressing for me.

Banger Sisters. I love Susan S. , Goldie and Geoffrey Rush, but man the writing on this flick was unbelievably bad. It was soooo bad. Nothing believable about the movie or the characters... But I still liked the actors in it so I watched the whole thing...
Anyone else see it?

Julieboo - I agree. Banger Sisters was bad. And I didn't realize they meant the name of the movie literally. :)

Oh Ericka, I was thinking of a different movie. OOPS! i realized what a dummy i am and tried to change it but it was too late. Boys Dont Cry is actually one of my faves.

I thought I would like From Hell with Johnny Depp because Jack the Ripper is such an interesting subject. I guess though, after reading about all the research done on the case by that author who writes all the forensic crime novels, From Hell just didn't ring true. I just saw the movie on HBO although it's been around a while. (Help me out here -- what is that author's name?)

Adaptation--just too "Hollywood"
I remember being bored to tears by "In the Line of Fire"
A Beautiful Mind--just didn't move me, couldn't relate, too predictable
Gladiator--too violent! couldn't get past that it celebrated violence while pretending it didn't

Hummingbird, are you thinking of Patricia Cornwell??? She wrote a true-crime portrayal of Jack the Ripper... she also writes the Kay Scarpetta forensic series...

Yes, it's Patricia Cornwell. Thanks. I saw her on a couple of TV shows discussing her theory which seemed to be extensively researched. She said the doctor would have been too old to have been the ripper.
