We just bought a DVD player. We went out to rent a DVD and since neither I or my husband have seen this movie, we decided to break in our new player with The Others. OMG! I'm glad we did! I knew it was going to be good. If you liked the Sixth Sense, let me say now that you would love The Others.

From beginning to end, there is a sense of isolation and desperation. There are children who cannot be touched by sunlight, a mother who is trying to hold together what's left of her family after her husband doesn't return from the war, and three mysterious servants who show up to work in this large echoing house. You want them to be able to reach out to people, but they can't. Why? Watch the movie and find out.

There are several psychological twists and turns in the movie that will take you by surprise. A few you might be able to predict but only after the appropriate clues are given. And one has to look a little hard for those because they're not obvious.

Everything all comes down in one of the last scenes and the truth is revealed. It's a beautifully haunting movie about the afterlife and how people view it.

I highly recommend it. Don't wait for Halloween! Go rent it now!

Just within the last year, I've become a huge fan of anything Hugh Jackman has done. I finally bought a copy (didn't even bother renting it first) Someone Like You, I couldn't wait to watch it. And boy, was I ever *not* disappointed. The movie from start to finish is adorable...from Jane's (Ashley Judd) obsessive interest in Ray, the "man of her dreams" to her growing friendship with co-worker turned roommate Eddie. More than most romantic comedies, I think that this movie really illustrates a lot of how life is for most women and men. We look around each corner for our soulmate, finding every potential bad relationship imaginable and not realizing that Mr. or Mrs. Right is right beside us all along. And it's not until Jane hits rock bottom in this movie that she realizes that her Mr. Right is just next door in the next bedroom. I won't say too much as to give it away, but yeah, like most romantic comedies, it can be a little predictable. But it's still worth at least renting if not buying! So go...yeah, go now. It's a great movie!

I may be a cynic on most days where love is concerned, but there's still a little girl inside me that dreams of meeting Prince Charming when he rides up to me on a solid white horse. Who on this earth, male and female, doesn't have a fairytale romance that they'd love to see happen? Well, if you say you don't, then you're lying.

And I'd be lying if I said this movie was your average romantic comedy. Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan make a believable pair even in the light of a fanciful tale of a man out of time finding his soulmate in 21st Century New York. While Meg's the pure cynic in this one, selling products like diet butter to fat housewives wanting a reason to switch to this nasty tasting stuff, she finds herself wooed by the ever suave, ever romantic, ever gentlemanly Hugh who doesn't know any behavior but that which he was raised with from his own time. When a fight and subsequent break up takes him back to his own time, there is soon a reason for Meg to join him...but you'll have to watch for those details yourself.

I highly recommend this movie. Go out and get it right now if you haven't seen it. Watch it with friends. Watch it with your significant other. It will put smiles on your faces and love back into the cynical 21st Century hearts. It did mine.
