Just got back from a showing of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I ADORED this movie. Fabby, and only slightly slow in places, but enough feel-good and warm fuzzy quotes to keep me and Stoat and MamaStoat very happy.

Just remember - everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not the end.

I finally saw The Three Stooges. The violence was great, and the filmmakers are to be commended for crafting some of the worst child acting performances since the '30s and '40s. However, the Jersey Shore digression was a mistake, the Teddy character seemed more like someone Zeppo Marx would play and, while it's a quibble, I do feel that Will Sasso was physically too large for the part.

I'll admit it: I love Forrest Gump. I am watching it for probably the 40 gazillionth time (cable TV this time). I had planned on watching another movie tonight, but got wrapped up in this.

However, this movie has had an unexpected side effect: I hate Robin Wright.

I know she was just the actress playing the part of Jenny (who broke Forrest's heart), but for some stupid reason, I cannot separate them.

It's silly I know, but I hate Robin Wright.

It's understandable. Forrest Gump made me hate Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, shrimp, the mall in Washington, helicopters, candy, Sally Field, black guys met on the bus to basic training, Robert Zemeckis, ping pong, etc., for a while.

Eventually I got over it (except for the Zemeckis mistrust).

VAM

Go right now and watch The Princess Bride

I always thought the Princess was a bit of a beeotch in that movie as well.

They've remade Red Dawn (with North Korean invaders this time around).

I weep for our civilization.

As long as the heavy weapons expert is still a hot chick, we'll get by OK.


EDITED TO ADD:

Ahh ha! No worries mate. They got it covered.

JAWS on Blu-Ray tomorrow. I'll have trouble sleeping tonight. :D :D
