Finally got around to watch The Hangover, and grew tremendously bored–quickly. Hrmph.
I watched The Book of Eli last night with Melinda. Movie on a Monday night! Yes, I feel like a hooligan. I really liked it! I went in only watching it for Denzel Washington, and expecting it to be nothing but post-apocalyptic fighting. But I think they did a nice job of reflecting on spiritual issues. And the nice touch in the end as a shout out to other religions and the applicability of this to the other religious institutions.. hoorah.
Just finished Monsters vs. Aliens and thought it was cute. Stephen Colbert as the president was especially silly.
Okay boys set the terror level at code brown cause I need to change my pants.
Totally something he would say.
Wanted to watch something that didn’t involve lots of thinking so chose The Carter. It’s not surprising that Lil Wayne stopped supporting the film after it was created. He was not portrayed in the greatest of lights. It just seemed like he was a mad DXM user that others couldn’t control. There was a lot of footage I am sure the camera crew filmed, but chose to focus on all the syrup. Womp! A completely different look from the VH1 Behind the Scenes episode.
I don’t know why I ended up watching Angels and Demons, but it was one of those films that are incredibly easy to watch and multi-task. Though it did make me want to travel to Italy (and Vatican City) that much mooooore.
After two failed attempts last weekend, Ben and I were able to see Avatar.
I do not understand the depression that people claim to have upon leaving the movie. They suck.
It was super anti-colonialism. What a reflection of our society’s for the movie to be so widely consumed and appreciated. Wheee.
Watched Food, Inc. one evening last week when Ben and I failed to get in to see Avatar.
I have read Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation. I was not surprised at all by the film, but thought it made the main themes of these two books accessible to the average person. Definitely nothing new, but definitely terrifying anyways.
