I have really been wanting to see Shooter!! It looks really good, Hot Fuzz I might have to wait for the DVD. But it looks alright too. I will definitley check those out!
The movies that we have at the apartment from NetFlix are Epic Movie and Along Came Polly... We will probably watch one on Friday. I think this Friday is going to be Movie night for us watch a couple movies and clean up around the apartment.

I am sorry if I offended you with my "After Five" blogs. It was all meant to be in fun, and never meant to intimidate or offend. I also am sorry that it bothered you over the weekend as it did I. I can only hope that we can remain friends and put this little episode behind us. I hope that you will accept my heartfelt apology, because therein is from where it comes!
Your humble friend, Historian
