Yesterday we went to Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It was just as funny as it looked in the previews which was pretty amazing. That isn't always the case. Frequently a movie looks really good in the previews and then it's a bomb. Obviously showing the best parts of the movie in small 2-3 second segments is great strategy but doesn't always bode well for the viewer.
Case in point - last week we got Step Brothers from Netflix and it was one of the most horrible movies ever. We shut it off within 15 minutes. The previews made it look hilarious but it was not. Foul is really the only word that comes to mind.
As a total aside, I so love Netflix! Our region's distribution center is in Butte so if we return a movie Monday, we have another one in our box on Wednesday. We're on the 1-at-a-time plan and it's really worth the $8.99 per month. Plus we get to watch all the instant, on-request shows we want. If you love movies, I encourage you to check it out! And I wasn't even paid for that endorsement...

Hi Julie,
I'm on the same Netflix plan, and appreciate the diversity of both TV shows and movies -- and I also like being near the distribution center. My latest selection is called "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", which had been suggested by a good friend who enjoys good movies. Hope your week is filled with blessings,
