Why must summer be of such short duration and why must it be so far away!

Was it worth ordering from Blockbuster's online?

no. trust me.

wind wasn't bad though - boring in places, but the sailing stuff was
way cool.

Wind was mildly amusing. It's worth one viewing.

Dead Calm was definitely worth watching; very good suspense and a young
Nicole Kidman (before she started slumming with the knucklehead, Cruise).

Be prepared to have your good samaritan values challenged! I'll say no
more.

'Dead Calm' was a pretty good movie. That may have been the first movie
Nicole's starred in.

Last night we watched 'Open Water'.........a couple goes on a dive boat
pretty far offshore out into open water with 20 others........the crew
failed to keep count of the number of divers going in and coming out and the
boat left while the 2 were still underwater.

I will not ruin the movie for anyone if they are going to see it..........it
was not bad and had an ending you would not expect.

It was a good movie. But, it was not a 'fun' movie!

The following may be of interest to some folks here. I'd classify
it as somewhat in the aforementioned "dull thriller" category.

The star, Radha Mitchell, ain't hard to look at either.
