In order to see what all the "hype" was about I sat down to watch Brokeback Mountain. In keeping with the short, quick, to the point reviews of late on the forum....I can describe this movie in one word.....AWFUL! My wife was much more verbose in her description....REALLY AWFUL.

Serenity - I watched a rental...then went and ordered both the movie and the Firefly series. Should tell you what I thought of it.

Elektra - Better than I thought it would be....but I wasn't expecting much. I'm going to watch it again. I'm not sold that Jennifer Garner is THAT hot. Not bad...but...

Hostage - Bruce Willis ACTS in this movie...and does it quite well. It is a gripping action/drama/thriller but a little too dark and not really my taste in movies.

    Haven't seen Hostage, but couldn't have said it better myself on all other accounts, including Garner's looks. There's just something funny looking about her.

    You'll power right through that Firefly series. I know I did(thanks Ron). It makes you wonder who gets to pick and choose which shows get renewed and which don't.

    Nice to get your opinions, but I really liked BBM.

    Electra on the other hand totally sucked. Totally SUCKED. And you can also put me in the camp that does not think Garner is hot. She has a chisled man face with ****. Thats it and it does not float my boat. I like my women to be - gasp - feminem.
