Very funny movie with some great lines in it. Author Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) gets married and goes home to pack for his honeymoon, only to discover his spinster aunts have a proclivity for killing older bachelor men. His good-for-nothing brother shows after being gone for years up with a new face and the doctor that did it (to try again). And then there's the uncle who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt. "Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops."

With a bunch of people, but none of whom I know at Memorial City 15 years ago in cinema
This is a very fitting end of the Potter franchise. Just as the three have grown up, so have the movies. Outstanding!
wanted to see before it left the theater

An ape with an experimental treatment is raised by the main scientist. He's smarter & more adept than the usual ape, but not socially adept, either with humans or apes. One would think this would be super cheesy, but it's really intriguing and captivating.

A modern take on the Beauty and the Beast story. Parts were good; parts were bad. The second half was better overall than the first. A totally self-absorbed boy crosses a witch, who puts a spell on him. He has 1 year to find love. A pretty tall order considering how hateful he is.

A father is killed in New Orleans by some creature. Rebuffed by the police, the daughter seeks help from Dylan Dog, a sort of supernatural investigator, or at least he used to be. Who killed her dad, and more importantly, Why? It's clear why this wasn't successful in the theater, but if you like quirky off-beat movies, check it out.
hooray for redbox.

Perhaps I am just missing something, but I'm not sure what the point of this movie is. Lots of funny vignettes, but I feel it is less than the sum of its parts. Naive insurance agent goes to convention; all his notions are shattered; then he goes back to normal. Worth watching because of the funny parts

After years being thought vanquished and exiled to small plantations. Recently, attacks are on the rise, but the Church leaders are denying even the existence of any vampires. One Priest (of an order created to battle the vampires) realizes this and faces ex-communication for pursuing them.
