Last Movie You Watched

I review movies, so every week I could post a new entry. Great.

I just saw Albert Brook's Looking for Comedy in a Muslim World. It's okay. Good thing I didn't have to pay for it.

I just watched Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy...for the third time. Hey, when you're at work and it's slow and you're bored, you'll watch anything that happens to be on TV.

Chronicles of Narnia. Overall, very well done.

I finally saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin. It was pretty good.

This past Sunday afternoon I watched Fried GreenTomatoes. One of my favorite movies ever.

(anybody want some BBQ ?)

Ice Age - I love that squirrel and his nut.

My kids and I watched Mulan (for about the fifth time) last night on TV. Good cartoon movie.

Last three movies I saw were "The TIme Machine" (2002). Not bad. I think they messed with the original story a bit with the morlocks split up into workers and intelligent ones, but other than that, I liked the Victorian costumes.

"Evolution" (2001) with David Duchovny. I really enjoyed this one. It was silly. I like silly. Good special effects.

"Ghostbusters" (1984). My kids had never seen this. My oldest thought it was funny. "Listen! Do you smell that?" My 5-year-old was scared.

I just watched Crash (the most recent one, not the sex-in-cars movie). Incredibly intense and one of the best flicks I've seen in a while.

Saturday night I rented The Wedding Crashers. It was okay, but not as funny as I expected.

The last movie I watched in its entirety was Nausicaa (sp?).Before that it was Master and Commander. It wasn't the first time I've seen these two, and it won't be the last, either.

We saw King Kong on Saturday. If you haven't seen it yet, see it in the theaters. I command you. It just won't be the same on DVD, widescreen or not.

It was amazing.

I have been watching the Aliens collection I got for Christmas on DVD (it's freakin' NINE discs). It includes all the theatrical releases plus extended/directors cut releases. Just watched Alien3 the other night. It's okay, but doesn't mesure up to Aliens (the second one). BTW, if you haven't seeen the extended cut of Aliens, it's worth it; adds some depth and is more suspenseful. If I sound like I love Aliens, it's true. I believe it was, by far, James Cameron's best directing job. Titanic (from this standpoint) pales in comparison.

'Course, I also think Blade Runner should have won the AA for Best Picture, Ridley Scott for Best Director, and Rutger Hauer for Best Supporting.

And while we're on this genre, I like Prince of Darkness, though my favorite John Carpenter movie is, by far, The Thing.

i watched the boys from brazil.

Walk The Line

The best movies don't have names.......

Oh, you mean regular movies. I went to see Munich about a month ago.

We saw "The Constant Gardener" Friday night. It had an interesting structure for a thriller, which bears further study--I'll see it again when enough time has elapsed that I've forgotten details.

Have you read the book? I'm curious as to how the movie stacked up.

Shrek 2. It was fun. And The Princess Bride for the umpteenth time. I figger six or seven more viewings and I'll understand every line of Andre The Giant's dialogue. Maybe.

Hostel.


****ing Brilliant.

Last three: red eye, wedding crashers, and hostel

Last two movies I watched were Casanova -- which I just LOVED -- and Super Size Me, which was excellent but has put me off fast food for a while.

I watched Wedding Crashers which my husband laughed at way more than I did, which if you knew him, it would be unusual.

I also watched Madagascar, but I fell asleep part way through. I don't remember too much but I love the Pengins!
