Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel - Page 35

I watched 'The Crazies' tonight, while Rose watched Bon Jovi- I had fun; there were only 3 people, including myself in the theater.

Heheh, I watched a movie called C.R.A.Z.Y. a couple of nights ago. Cute French Canadian film about a harried family with five sons, and the one who grows up eccentric and fabulous and gay.

In theaters now: Go see The Ghost Writer. Don't be put off by Polanski's recent press. It's a much better Hitchcock movie than Shutter Island. Loved it.

I wish I could, but Orlando is too much of a backwater to have it yet. I think it opens wide in a few weeks, and I'm planning on seeing it.

Where's Alex? I was looking for the Alice review this morning and Alex isn't here!

One thing I have to mention here, The Crazies may just be a remake of a movie that doesn't really hold up too great, but using the Johnny Cash version of "We'll Meet Again" for the opening sequence made me smile.

The car wash scene gave me nightmares- I used to get really freaked out at a local car wash when I was a little kid.

Alice was boring.

There was a super great opportunity for plot twistiness, but they decided to go with conventional instead. Snoozefest.

Damnit.

Yesterday, I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Battle Beyond The Stars, and Rock And Roll High School.

Today I've watched Scanners, and now I'm watching the Star Wars Trilogy.

Hey, I just watched Scanners last night. I've always really enjoyed it, but, like many others, I have to acknowledge that the lead performance by Stephen Lack is distractingly odd. I try to make allowances for the fact that he is playing a very psychically broken person, but really, his line readings are just so robotic and non-credible. Mind you, with time, this has become one of the movies charms, not any longer a demerit. And I just can't get enough of Michael Ironside in his leering, evil prime!

Are you well? It sounds like you may be bedridden with all this marathon watching. If so, please get well. If not, um, keep enjoying!

I've got a bit of a cold, but nothing too serious (yet). I'm just stuck at home with the animals while my wife is in Vegas.
