This evening's Movies on the Grass was on "Invisible Children" and included the short for "Grace".

A must see.

I rated this movie 4 stars.

While I saw this for $1 at the K-State Student Union, at least it was some what better in that it had been letter-boxed for standard TV viewing.

I rated this 4 stars.

This is the second installment of MOG (Movies on the Grass, outside of the Hale Library at K-State - Movies with a conscience).

Normally, I don't watch much in the way of documentaries...but since due to weather this was indoors and I had come out for the pre-show entertainment, and now didn't feel like walking back home. I stayed.

I'm glad I did.

I rated this movie 4 stars.

Though I'm not really sure if it is classified as a movie or a DVD. I saw it for $1 at the K-State Student Union.

And, it had been reformatted to 4:3 aspect. But, I thought the DVD wasn't gonna drop until October....

I rated this 4 stars.

I actually watched this DVD on a somewhat bigger screen at MOG (Movies on the Grass, outside of the Hale Library at K-State - Movies with a conscience).

I'm pretty sure nobody saw me crying....

On the recommendation of a friend, and to kill some time before I leave Columbus, Ohio....I went and saw this movie.

I remembered why I hadn't seen it in theatres, and was originally intending to wait for it come out on DVD. The long (and boring) wait until you can watch the movie....including the wait after the scheduled start time. The loop they were playing while waiting for the start time to roll around was particularly boring....I found myself struggling to stay away

Then the wait before they would play the actual movie seemed particular long, perhaps G rated movies open the door for them to fill the start with a lot more 'junk'.

And, then it was kind of cold during the movie....I was starting to lose feeling in my fingers...and arms and legs were kind of numb as I stumbled out of the theatre....

But, I rate this movie 5 stars. And, look forward to renting the DVD (to see what extras there might be)....

I did something rare, I went to a movie theatre.... It was strange having the whole theatre to myself. Wonder what they do on the times where nobody is there.

Anyways, I'm rating this 4 stars.

Wonder if I'll rent the DVD....guess it depends on what kind of extras it provides....
