Good film.

Right now I have in the dvd of the cd/dvd package of 'The Very Best of Mick Jagger'- I've had it a few years and it's the first time I've played the dvd, which I do realize is not a movie, so what am I doing? Long interview, then a bunch of videos- Lenny Kravitz and Bono in one each, right now Mick is singing 'Don't Look Back' from SNL in the 70s with Peter Tosh.

Invictus
Pretty good. I basically watched it just because I love rugby so much...

All on blu-ray, of course.
Ponyo Alien 3 A Christmas Carol (2009) Predators - Poor Adrien Brody. He stinks...not a action actor. He's better off with brooding, emo roles. |

Inception
On this cold and rainy day in the South I had time to watch this movie. If you can wrap your mind around it, it's interesting. And the ending... More to come, I'm Netflixing again. |

From the 'Forbidden Hollywood' 3 volume collections, I watched 'Baby Face', 'Three On A Match', 'Night Nurse' and an interesting documentary about pre-code Hollywood films made in the early 1930s, before a Mr. Breen actually got busy enforcing the 'Hays Code' which censored movies until the mid 1960s- any illicit behavior had to be 'punished' by the end of the film, once Breen was in charge. Also watched 'Life With Judy Garland- Me and My Shadows' starring Judy Davis, and two episodes from the Pioneer box sets of Garland's 1963 series. We also watched 'Paper Moon', and a bootleg dvd I bought online of the still unreleased 'Beyond The Forest'- the 1949 'so bad it's terrible'- but fun- movie that ended Bette Davis' long reign at Warner Brothers. Watched these all with the 'houseguest from Hell'- now mercifully, gone, and never to visit again. Ever. "As God As My Witness"-- even though we didn't get to 'Gone With The Wind'.
The movie watching was about the only good part of her visit. Oh, and New Year's Eve at the Mohegan Sun didn't suck- I walked out with almost $400 profit, playing penny slots! They pay the best, it seems, of the slots, the machines that give bonus spins can give you surprisingly large payoffs by playing all 30 lines, even just 1 cent per line- one bonus gave me $200 on a 30 cent bet. Played well into the new year, and left with like $393 more in my pocket than I arrived at the casino with. Gave my guest $175 once we were in the car driving home, because she had lost. We both wisely left our credit cards at home. Couldn't get near any of the food, the lines and crowds were enormous. |

It's amazing what they got away with in some of those early movies. The older I get the more interesting they become. Houseguest From Hell... sounds like a movie in itself. Cool beans on the winning $$$. |

The spinning top holds the key.
I'd say more, but don't want to ruin it for the rest. Oceans (Disney) Some amazing creatures in this film. Awesome picture and sound. I did get tired of being preached at though. The Back-Up Plan I like'a my JLo. Cheesy movie, but what would you expect? I fast forwarded over a few scenes. |

The Runaways
Worth watching I guess, but I was hoping for better. Did Joan Jett really do that to someone's guitar??? A Christmas Carol (Jim Carrey) This was better than I expected. Amazing sound and picture. The Last Song I considered not posting this because of the risk of being ridiculed. But Miley Cyrus did a decent enough acting job, tolerable anyway, to make this worth watching. I couldn't help thinking about the girl that impersonates her on SNL. It's really cool y'all. |

Naked starring David Thewlis. I don't watch Movies very often anymore, so I like to at least make sure I watch my favourites and the most stimulating. Mike Leigh’s brilliant and controversial Naked stars David Thewlis as Johnny, a charming, eloquent, and relentlessly vicious drifter on the lam in London. Rejecting all those who would care for him, the volcanic Johnny hurls himself into a nocturnal odyssey through the city, colliding with a succession of the desperate and the dispossessed, and scorching everyone in his path. With a virtuoso script and raw performances from Thewlis and costars Katrin Cartlidge and Lesley Sharpe, Leigh’s panorama of England’s crumbling underbelly is a showcase of black comedy and doomsday prophecy.

Chloe
Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) tricked me. I didn't see the twist coming. I'd like to say more but... Just watch the movie. It is rated R for good reason kiddies. |

I liked 'Chloe', but I predicted the twist before it happened. I also didn't care for the ending. Too abrupt IMO.

My sister and I are now almost done with a Star Wars marathon, starting with episodes 4-6 and then going through the recent trilogy.
I hadn't seen Phantom Menace since it come out. As a 9-year-old, I remember finding Jar-Jar Binx hilarious, and being baffled at the complaints of adults. Now, each time he appears I am gripped by the urge to stick pins in my eyes and rip my ears out. And in episode two suddenly he's, like, a politician? He's a more terrifying official than George Bush. Every time he begins "Meesa think...", I despair for contemporary film. As for the originals-- the patch job they did on the original trilogy (with the 2000 era CGI) looks ridiculous. Oh, and I burst into laughter every time anyone describes Luke as complicated, clever, or angry, because he is possibly the drippiest character in movie history. But Han and Leia? So freaking awesome. I've watched their first kiss on youtube probably ten times in the last day. Han and Leia are awesome enough to salvage the originals, but there's nothing comparable in the prequels. If you're one of those lucky souls who missed them, no need to seek them out. Side note: does anyone else think Carrie Fisher looks a lot like Stevie? I think there's a very strong resemblance, particularly in the eyes and face shape.
