You may know of this site already but besides IMDB, a place I like to glance at reviews and plotlines is www.rottentomatoes.com. While I might not always agree with their "tomatometer", at least it gives some point of reference.

Thanks for the link, Beary. I often go to Amazon.com to read up on movies. Another site that I like to go to when reading up on movies, is http://<font color="Blue">http://www...ne.com/</font>. I usually do not agree, or put much stock in their conclusions, because it is a James Dobson/Focus on the Family site, and Dobson is much more conservative than I am. But, the rest of the movie write-up is usually helpful in allowing me to come up with my own opinion about whether I might enjoy the movie. ~ Faith http://www.pluggedinonline.com/

Faith, the http://www.pluggedinonline.com/ url works -- I think this is what you're talking about?
I don't know if there's a specific genre that you and your daughter enjoy but a kind of overlooked movie that I thought was very profound is "The Quiet American" remake. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1118347-quiet_american/ I caught it in the theatres because there was basically nothing we wanted to see and I'm very glad I did. On the complete other end of the spectrum, I thought the original "Harold and Kumar..." (White Castle) was hysterical!!!! ![]() ![]() |

Beary --
Thanks for the suggestions. Not really into war movies ("The Quiet American") much. And, I guess that I'm maybe not a cool enough mom to be very comfortable watching R movies "Harold and Kumar") with my daughter, even though, technically, she is an adult. But, yeah. One of the things I like about the PluggedIn site is that, although their conclusions are often not very approving of the movies they have just reviewed, their reviews tend to give a fairly accurate portrayal of both "good" and "bad" elements. ~ Faith

Re: Harold and Kumar, I don't blame you, LOL.
I HATE war movies. I am sometimes ashamed to admit that I haven't seen some very classic ones. I don't think of "The Quiet American" as a war movie but it might not be your cup of tea regardless. It raised some very interesting questions for me. I think that we're lucky to have so many good sites to go to help us decide what to see. ![]() |

Watched P.S. I Love You tonight. DD had already seen it 4 x, which I didn't realize. She says it's her favorite movie. But, she was busy w/ friends, so I watched it w/ DH.
Good movie. Love James Blunt song: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=qPqhyRcBtpo ~ Faith

Videodetective is a great site for up and coming at both theater and on DVD. I use it to fill my Blockbuster Online Queue.
Just watched Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day and found it to be very entertaining.
