Thanks! Yes, my daughter and I wanted to see The Notebook - won't get the boys out to see that one though I'm afraid... they have to have elevated levels of violence, foul language and crude "potty" humor to get them in the theater. Maybe we'll escape and see it on our own.
We saw Mystic River in San Diego during Cybernext - I thought it was pretty good.... we saw The Secret Window as well - and I thought that was even better. I even got my dad to Netflix it recently and he usually HATES Johnny Depp - but he liked it. We bought Cold Mountain - Civil War buffs in our house... we'll probably see that one 100 times at least... I thought it was pretty well done. Could have done without the whorehouse scene shocker in the middle though - a friend saw it first and said "oh the kids will love it" - my 13 year old freaked out and said, "ummmm.... Mom? What's this?!?" lol
Thanks for the ideas... you're right - theaters aren't filled with the summer blockbusters I was hoping for this year. *sigh*
