Totally doing a crap job of updating the page, I know. How can I expect you to know who is hot in a movie if I don't tell you? I have no links today as my internet use at work has been dramatically decreased, and I don't have any desire to surf the net while I'm at home.
Sorry, I'm already veering off subject- I just stared at the start of this post for two minutes, hating the phrase "surf the net." I tried replacing it with "browse the interweb," but that sounds wrong as well. Is there a better term for reading random articles on the web for the sole reason of killing time, not an actual interest in the subject?
But since it's been weeks since the last update, I now have movie reviews. They are lacking in hotness, but I will mention them anyway, as some are up for awards or something.
For movies at the theater, in one week Nemo and I saw Million Dollar Baby and Hotel Rwanda. My movie-selecting privileges were taken away after these two choices, in the interest of keeping us from major depressive incidents. I loved both movies, but d@mn, they are sad sad sad.
Million Dollar Baby was a great film, lacking in hotness, but one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. And if Morgan Freeman doesn't get a best supporting actor thing, it will be a CRIME. His scene with Clint Eastwood where they talk about his socks is movie gold. MOVIE GOLD. So, as Tug would say, if you have the means- I recommend it.
Hotel Rwanda. That was great. No hotness again, as you know I've previously declared Joaquin as not to my liking, and I don't think Nick Nolte has graced the cover of Tiger Beat lately. There are a lot of disturbing images; depictions of torture, executions, and lots and lots of dead bodies. And the movie is PG-13. I guess I don't usually notice the rating, but we saw kids in the movie, and I had to wonder what level of violence gets you an R lately. But yeah, great movie, go see it.
We did need to follow these with something less depressing, so this weekend we saw Sideways. Also a good movie. Funny, interesting if you like wine, a little slow at times....and utterly lacking in hotness. But I guess that's the theme today- sometimes the lack of hotness is ok. Not all the time, mind you. I totally want the next movie we see to be an action movie with a lot less shirt-wearing than I've seen lately.
Recent rentals have included Dirty Pretty Things (weird), Y Tu Mama Tambien (Amelie style story telling with a lot of teenage sex- good overall), and Whale Rider (interesting, kind of slow.)
After this mass viewing of movies from the independent film section, Boyfried resumed control of the Netflix queue, which resulted in us watching School of Rock. He apologized for that one, as it was super boring. Sure, it had funny parts...but it was just kind of blah overall. He snuck Alien vs Predator on the list too, and I will not be joining him for that one.
So. I'll update again when I actully do something besides work, watch movies, and sleep. I've been busy and it's cold outside. And I'm a little hungry right now.
