Watched The Rite (2011). A student, a future priest, goes to Vatican to learn about the rite of exorcism. Being skeptical himself, he learns a lot of things about exorcism and about faith. It's a really good movie giving an answer about what faith is. Pretty creepy as well. And Anthony Hopkins is great as usual.

Avatar. I thought I would never watch the movie, but then I decided I needed to watch it to get my own opinion about it... Well, it came out I was right, the movie is highly overrated, I was simply bored... it had some good moments that I liked, but in general I can't say I liked it.
Watched 'The Help' DVD, a Christmas present from hubby because he knew that I loved reading the book. It's a great story with a wonderful cast, highly watchable, I enjoyed it very much and look forward to seeing it again.
I went to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Excellent IMO. Definitely a think piece with heavy doses of philosophy and introspection. I bought the soundtrack.
I agree with you about it being over-rated. I saw it the first time at my sister's house and she had just bought a blu-ray player and we watched her dvd copy- it is her husbands favorite movie- and he kept saying how amazing it was seeing it on a blu-ray player instead of a dvd player. It was pretty cool as it looked almost like 3D. But, it was a run-of-the-mill storyline with less than impressive acting in it. Just another over blown James Cameron film.
I watched two movies on the plane that I've always wanted to see but never got around to it:
Juno
Tropic Thunder
They were both excellent.

Yes, loved both of these! Ben Stiller is my new crush.
Oh, me too, DJ. I've been crushing on him for about a decade now. And wouldn't you just love to have his parents as in-laws??
Re-watched Carrie (2013). Was surprised to see a different ending, not the one I saw n the theater... I was shocked, as it was way scarier!
Gar... Ben Stiller annoys the schlitz out of me!
That's so funny, Flake! There's is someone for everyone...
Yes, perhaps 'tis true... but apparently my 'someone' may have already found his someone... bastard.That's so funny, Flake! There's is someone for everyone...
(Actually I have more than one
does this mean that there are someones for all of us?)
This movie will make you look at him different.Gar... Ben Stiller annoys the schlitz out of me!
Haven't seen Tropic Thunder but LOVED Juno!
Frozen. Very funny Disney cartoon, really enjoyed it.

I was thinking of taking my son's GF to "Frozen" - sort of a girl's night out for the two of us. She is 22.
I saw Cujo on TV last night - not a bad movie, but they changed the ending.
Watched Highlander for the umpteenth time yesterday on my newly purchased Blu Ray. In fact I watched it twice yesterday. Such a good movie. Plus the limited edition I bought has a badazz cover (although mine is in English obviously):
Oh, and I also watched John Carpenter's The Thing for the fourth or fifth time the other day. Excellent movie, the practical effects are absolutely amazing, especially the weird-azz kennel scene (those who have seen the film will know what I mean ! 
)

Unfotunately, I watched The Dead Zone. I was terribly, terribly disappointed. I kept thinking...I know the book is better. I know the book is better. I hope the book is better because in the movie all the characters were flat and on dimensional. As far as other movies: saw Saving Mr. Banks and got another Emma Thompson movie on the DVR--Remains Of The Day.
