We never seem to have time to go to the theatre.... so my "latest"
movies are all on DVD or ppv.
1. Cloverfield. I knew who directed this so I was not really
excited about it; I hate the way they've morphed the Lost storyline
from that of castaways on a mysterious island to the whole conspiracy/
time travel/scientific experiments gone awry thing. Anyway, when the
movie ended I was pleasantly entertained. My husband, however,
immediately said he wanted his money back.
2. Pirates of the Caribbean Part 3. What can I say except I wish I
had stopped at Part 1. Seriously, they took what was a wickedly fun
movie and made it awful.
3. The Simpsons movie. My husband is a HUGE fan and I have a soft
spot for the yellow folks, but this was waaayyy too long for me and
Spider pig wasn't nearly as funny as I thought it would be.
I'm looking forward to those you mentioned with the exception of Saw;
haven't seen any of the Saw movies and don't intend to!
