What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 44

Kat and I have enjoyed our Elvis fest this week! We watched the TV movie, watched several Elvis movies on TCM and just finished watching the behind the scenes with 'Cilla and Lisa Marie.

Kat is now in her room blasting Hound Dog! (At least it's not B-A-N-A-N-A-S!)

We finally saw Sean of the Dead.

Bloody brilliant. Right up there with the Evil Dead trilogy (and with a great little reference to said trilogy), I'm definitely going to have to own this one.

I watched Barcelona with my Bro and SIL the other night. There are lines that still make me giggle and LOL. I sure wish the other Stilman films were available on DVD.

Watched "Shaun of the Dead," very, very funny.

Life & Death of Peter Sellers - I really wanted to like this one, I just didn't enjoy it. It was good, but not great. Although the many "Sellers" performances were really good.

Team America - ****ing hysterical. Love it, Love it, LOVE IT! "America! **** YEH!"

We've been trying to make our way through the Ghibli Studios films before we go to Japan and visit the Ghibli Museum. We're not going to make it all of the way through, but we did put a nice dent in the catalog. Tonight, we saw Princess Monanoke. Very different from the other, more lighthearted films we've been watching but really dark and wonderful - and long! I am so impressed with Ghibli's work and can't wait to visit the Museum. Now, if only I had more time...........

We finally saw 'The Aviator'. I sort of remember people not giving it such a great review but I am not one to really listen to negative reviews...I feel opinion is just that...{in most cases}

But, I loved it. Sure, I think more could have been shown on some levels, but, perhaps it was due to a lack of time? I loved seeing his past and definitely learned things I didn't know. I thought the mental issues and how he dealt with them was fascinating. I was cheering him on. Loved it.

Yeah, I love Leo.

Awesome actor, loved him since 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'.

We also saw 'White Noise'. I have to watch it again because some things I didn't get BUT it was scary! Must have been fun in the theater.

We've had the pleasure of seeing some great films this week. We watched:

Kinsey - Terrific, though-provoking movie.

12 Angry Men - The old classic with Henry Fonda and many others. I loved the story and the great acting.

Sideways - (3 times actually) I really enjoyed every aspect of this movie, especially the casting and screenplay.

Meet the Fockers - Just a really fun and silly movie. Dustin Hoffman definitely stole the show and Streisand was surprisingly funny.

We saw Howl's Moving Castle at the El Cap yesterday - the latest offering from Ghibli. What a wonderful film, full of fairy tale magic, but with a whole mythology of its own.

More than ever I'm convinced that it's studios like Ghibli and Pixar that are really carrying on Walt's work - I'm so glad they are out there.
