Miscellaneous Movie Musings
 

Did you just watch a cool flick? Did you just jab your eyes out with an ice pick because of the stinkified movie you just viewed? Any Netflix queue recommendations?

Post 'em here.

I did an everyone email at work to ask people what their favorite movies were. One person who I consider to be ultra-cool said that 'The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys' was her favorite flick of all time. So I watched it. I loved it. I recommend it. Jodie Foster is wonderful in it. Not to mention, part of it is animated. Cool movie.

'The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys' ~ :) :) :) 1/2 happy faces out of 5

Dead Alive - My favorite Peter Jackson film EVER! (I even like it more than Meet the Feebles)

So far I've only seen the edited for airline travel version, but Night Watch was pretty spiff for a vampire movie. I think I'll have to check out the "real" version.

Watched North by Northwest last night (finally). Realized that there's a whole genre of "hapless guy lands in a dangerous situation of misunderstandings" that I've never really seen before. Just like Strangers on a Train and Detour...

I've seen two Barbara Streisand movies in the last week. What's up with that?

No no no. What's Up Doc?

I've never seen a Barbra Streisand movie all the way through. Just a few minutes of Yentl while walking through my parent's living room. They always watched that one when it was on.
What's new pussycat, whoa-whoa-whoaaaaa

Tori and I snuggled up on the couch and watched 'Zathura' last night. I really liked it- the sci-fi stuff was so retro, and the Astronaut was, in Tori's words a 'hottie'. We also watched the extras, and it turns out little Peter Billingsley- aka Ralphie in 'A Christmas Story'- is a producer of this movie. He still looks a little bit like his old self, but with stubble.

That was one of them.

I watched the earthquake movie last night. I'd like those 2 hours of my life back please.
