As we surveyed the movie listings on Saturday, it came down to “The DaVinci Code” or “X-Men 3.” We decided to save “DaVinci” for video, and went to “X-Men.” Lots of fun. And yes, we stayed to the end of the closing credits for that final scene. And just what was that all about? Who’s Moira?

A couple weeks ago we saw “United 93.” At that point, Pam and I hadn’t been to the theatre all year. Tax season pretty much takes Pam out of circulation. “United 93” was superb. I found that, from the beginning, I was tense. I knew what was coming, and the memory of the real thing was still fresh. When the movie ended, most people stuck around throughout the credits, all of them. We did. Don’t know why. It just seemed appropriate.

Then we’ve seen a few movies on video recently.

• “A History of Violence.” Wow, that was a good movie. And very violent, too, I should add for the kiddies. Aragorn (that’s his real name, isn’t it?) did a superb piece of acting.
• “Flightplan.” This Jodie Foster flick was better than I expected. Or maybe not. I’m not sure what I expected. But it was above average.
• “Domino.” Starting watching this Tony Scott movie last night. Fifteen minutes in, I said, “Okay, too much cussing,” and we turned it off and put it back in the Netflix envelope.
• “Aeon Flux.” A nice futuristic movie with Charlize Theron in an action role. Enjoyed it a lot.
