Alright - I'm changing the category name because some movies are good boosting energy and they allow enough of a distraction that 30 min of boring cardio on an elliptical goes by quickly.  These are only the movies that I can remember.  I am missing about 10 from January - but i'm not sure anyone actually cares.

Forrest Gump - One of my favorite movies but I have seen it too many times.  It's kindeve a slow paced, no-action movie.  It's all heart and story.

The Express - BORING CITY.

Fireproof - WORSE THAN BORING CITY.  VOMIT CITY.  This movie is about a man (career fireman) that i assume gets busted looking at pornography online by his wife.  THe story line is about how he tries to earn her respect and win her over again.  His dad gives him this list of 40 things to do in 40 days - to quote imdb.com "In an attempt to save his marriage, A firefighter uses a 40-day experiment known as "The Love Dare". "  It's corny and really cheesy.  Way too religious for me.  There was one scene where his father was trying to make a point to him about God and forgiveness and then the scene cuts from the man being frustrated sitting on a tree stump - to the father leaning up against a big wooden cross with the sun beaming behind him.  The acting was bad and i thought Kirk Cameron was either trying to do a really bad fake accent or he talks funny!

Tomb Raider - enough action, but it's a silly movie and I'm not a big Angelina Jolie fan.

Minority Report - action, Tom Cruise - not too bad.  But there was this one scene where they were giving him an eye transplant and I had to look away.  I'm not squeamish but there was something about they way they were prying open his eyelids to pull out his eyeballs that made me have to turn away.

Secondhand Lions - I don't really know what this movie was about.  It had Haley Joel Osmet, Michael Caine, and Robert Duvall.  I didn't quite understand the dynamic of Michael Caine and Robert Duvall and it kept flashing back to a story that was like the Princess Bride.  I guess I needed to see more than the 35

the Longshots - kinda cute, this is the movie about the young girl that plays quarterback for a school football team.  It's one of those predictable feel good movies.  Cute and it was entertaining enough because I haven't seen it.

City of Ember - I wanted to take Stewart to see this when it was at the theater, I thought it looked cute and entertaining.  The story was a little slow to take off.  I started it at the beginning and my 35 minutes ended before the movie hit its apex.  We rented it for Stewart and he liked it. 

The Secret Life of Bees - eh.  I'm not a big Dakota Fanning fan and despite her recent family tragedy, I can't stand Jennifer Hudson.  I'm not quite sure what this movie was about.  I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

Babylon A.D. - Lots of action.  But Vin Dissel is a bit much at 5:30am.  We did rent this movie later and it was ok.  It was all action and engergy and then it fizzled and sold out in the end.  It was pretty to look at and provided a good distraction.

the Notebook - I've never seen this movie - which may come as a surprise to some of you that know me cause you know I'm a big fat sucker for a love story.  I think I was turned off by this movie because of all the hype (like the DaVinci Code.)  Anyway, It seems like a predictable and sweet love story and I actually spent 45 grueling minutes on the elliptical watching the movie.  I've seen parts of it about 5 times and I've never seen the end. 

Today's movie is Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, tomorrow is Legally Blonde, Saturday is Madagascar 2, Sunday is Oceans 11, Mondays movie is really suckish Bring it On.  So Monday is going to be my rest day.  I am actually looking forward to my workouts because I like those movies.  I almost think i could go all through Oceans 11 - it's such a fast past movie, and I really like it.

So there it is, my boring post about movies that no one cares about!  :)  This helps me keep track of what I find motivating.
