Movies, movies, and more movies

I am movied out. Of course, this is only a temporary condition. Could be cured in 5 minutes if I choose, but I think I'll choose bed instead.


5 movies today and 5 last Saturday.

Haven't decided what my favorite was, but here are my brief notes:
Inception - great visuals, JG-L is great, and parts took place in a letterpress workshop in Paris- hell-o!
Toy Story 3 - not-recommended when PMSing - tissues. So good!
The Fighter - Boxing, hell-o!
The Kids are All Right - California douchebaggery + Annette Benning doing a fab. job.
Winter's Bone - haven't seen Pete of "Benny's World of Blood" (From Dusk Til Dawn) in a while. Good movie, but not happy.
The King's Speech - fab. (Didn't recognize Jennifer Ehle though! Lizzy and Darcy in the same movie and I didn't even appreciate it!) Also, I now have Beethoven stuck in my head.
Black Swan - am i the only person who really liked that? Everyone I know was really disturbed by it.
True Grit - Good, but in a regular movie way, not a Coen Brothers' way. HS - great newcomer.
The Social Network - facebook sucks (necessary evil these days though). Well done, but most of the characters were jerks. Best line of the movie: "I'm 6'5", 225lbs, and there's two of me."
127 Hours - wicked cool. Love desert scenery like that. Also, ouch.

Looking forward to the Oscars Sunday night. Hopefully it's better than last year's telecast, which bored me to drink. (Okay, i would have had my bubbly no matter what. But still, it was boring.)

  1. We're gonna catch TS3 today and we'll be all caught up. You are not the only who liked BS btw. :) I totally didn't see Lizzy in King's Speech- what character was that?

  2. You girls...I am so disappointed in you. How could you miss Lizzie?! She was Geoffrey Rush's wife. But yes, she did look a bit changed from her P&P days. So glad CF got the award.
