What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I'm officially a NetFilx 'er.

Tonight: "City of God." What a disturbing film. Amazingly this was a true story.

Next: Before Sunset, Kil Bill Vol. 1.

Saw Meet the ****ers Monday night. Damn funny. Works well as a sequal.

Two snapps up!!

Wow. I recommend "Ray". It's fantastic. It's very swanky and hip. Jamie Foxx is good.

I can't wait to see that movie.

We watched one that I didn't particularly like last night called "Paparazzi". It started out with some potential but there is so much more they could have done with it. Unfortunately, it just came off as a B movie without much substance.

He loved it though!

Kat and I are going to watch Gone With The Wind on DVD after her bath...I got it for Christmas and haven't opened it yet.....Eegads!

Another Old Skooler here! I watched 3 discs of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 6 the other day when my DirecTV was out temporarily.

I can never, ever get enough of the musical episode, Once More With Feeling. (I can never, ever get enough of Buffy! It's my favorite! )

Been a busy week.....we watched all ten episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 2. OMG--even funnier than the first season!!! We have Seinfeld, Seasons 1-3 sitting there staring at us.....but I can't seem to get motivated to watch them!!! CYE is so damn funnnnny and smart-- Seinfeld is like a G-rated CYE.

Last night we watched Vertigo after the kids went to bed. I'm not sure I've ever seen it! I thought it would seem familiar, but I think I had it mixed up with North By Northwest. I looooved it, especially the music. The ending was awesome--I didn't read the description on the back of the DVD, so everything was a surprise.

We're taking the girls to see The Incredibles again tonight! It's playing at the pub theaters, so we just have to decide which one to go to....most likely will be the Baghdad, because the tables are more plentiful. We're making it a dinner event--pizzas and pitchers!! MMmmmmmm!

Afterward, we're most likely watching The Westside Story at home with the girls. And after they're off to bed, it'll be Citizen Kane or The Women or The Maltese Falcon. I'm loving these old movies so much!!!

And during the Super Bowl, my friend Dawn and I are ditching our husbands and my kids at my sister's party, and we're hitting the theater!! We still need to see Kinsey, Bad Education, and I must see my Javier.......:elsigh:

Yeah, I think that is about the funniest show I have ever seen on TV.

We just watched the DVD of the restored 1920's sci-fi movie Metropolis. I was blown away by it. It was truly epic, and spectacularly put together, espeically for 1927! And the story was excellent, compelling, and insightful. What's sad is that a quarter of the movie has been lost for all time. They found and restored what they could, but they had to fill in chunks of missing plot with explanatory text. It's really too bad, because the footage they have rescued has been restored to an absoluely pristine condition. It was so clean, in fact, that it was hard to believe that it was over 70 years old. It almost looked more like a modern movie being shot to LOOK like a '20s film. Astounding.

I love this film and have been watching "new and restored" version for about 15 years now, even buying a few on the way. It's been encouraging to see this film being put back together over this time, with variety of sound tracks and treatments. Fritz Lang is a genius. Perhaps some day all the footage will finally be resotred.
