What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 3

Oscar Quest 2005 is nearing its completion. We've seen every major player in every major category except for Being Julia, Vera Drake, and a few of the foreign language. Hitting the minor categories next.

Of the lot? If you haven't seen Million Dollar Baby, Sideways, The Aviator, Hotel Rwanda, or Finding Neverland, you ought to. Not a bad year for film.

On recently released DVD just watched
I, Robot
Napolean Dynamite
Still have Collateral, The Terminal to watch. I need to start watching more movies because my queue at Netflix keeps getting longer with all the new movies coming out. Riding Giants is on the list, but I may take it off because I think I want to buy it.

In the theatre, hasn't been much:
The Incredibles, Finding Neverland, Phantom, Lemony Snicket

but I think I'm going to get out this week to see a few:
Sideways, Being Julia, The Life Aquatic, The Aviator, A Very Long Engagement, Million Dollar Baby, Hotel Rwanda, and maybe Closer and National Treasure but not anytime in the very near future. I am a bit interested in Vera Drake too. Who knows. Funds are tight so it's matinee or cheap theatre for me!! I'll need to pick and choose what I want to see the most.

I think I'm going to start booking dates with the movie man. I have too many to see and no time between bigger stuff.

Netflix wise: We have 13 going on 30, Lost in Translation, and Monster. Haven't had a chance to watch them but maybe with this being a 3 day weekend, we'll fit them in.

At the theater: Lemony Snicket, SpongeBob, The Incredibles. One of those was definitely not by choice.

The Swankiest thing I watched all week was 'Million Dollar Baby'. Starring Hillary Swank.

I really liked this film. It wasn't what I was expecting. Enjoyed it. Tear-jerker of 2004.

I also watched 'Sideways' last night. I enjoyed this one immensely. The best film I've seen in awhile. It deserves some Oscar nods.

I saw 'Million Dollar Baby' this afternoon. My eyes are now burning something fierce and practically swollen shut. I think it was one of the first films I've seen where I wanted to keep on crying as I was exiting the theatre. My mom and I both loved it -- a most excellent film!

I'm thinking about going to see 'Sideways' tomorrow. I need to see some comedy.

I had one good cry in this one. Loved it.

Yes, go see this one now. It'll cheer you up. It'll also make you crave wine, if you're a wine drinker.
