Time to keep track of the movies I see this year but think I will do it a different way...anything I go to that I feel is a waste of time is a 5 or below, 6 not a complete waste, 7 a good two+ hours spent, an 8 a good two hours I will tell my friends about, 9 something I will consider seeing again, 10 will see again.

Wow, The Da Vinci Code cleaned up overseas in a big way. I wonder why it played in almost 3x as many countries as Pirates is?

Interesting numbers.

A few of 'em out that I still want to see.

nice to see some animated features doing so well. I guess they have the whole family appeal thing going for them.
