This is entertainment?

Received Black Dahlia from Blockbuster via snail mail yesterday and was looking forward to watching it. But I must say that after sitting through 2 hours I'm not sure what was actually going on. This one won't be recommended to friends either.

Friday Night at the Movies

This was the choice for the Friday night movie. It's been at the house for a while now. What made me decide to watch it? I was flipping through the channels and one of the premiere movie channels had previews of upcoming movies to see there. One of them was this movie. So I decided that instead of waiting to see it on that channel I'd just go ahead and watch it.

Odd movie. Don't know that I'd recommend it to anyone to see. Now that I think back on it I don't remember laughing. Had a hard time connecting Will Ferrell with this character. Kept seeing him in the short film "The Landlord".

Maybe I can attribute it to being sick this weekend?

Entertaining movie

As the title of this post says; entertaining movie. Nothing mind blowing just entertainment and it's lowest form :)

Nicolas Cage worked out for this movie. One scene in the movie he's shirtless; and he worked out for this part. Very entertaining! :)

Though once or twice the way he portrayed the character reminded me of something I heard back when about his fascination with Elvis. It showed.

Sam Elliott played the Caretaker. Mercy! That man's voice...hubba, hubba, hubba! It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Movie night

I got to watch this one by myself. I got home &  knew DH wouldn't be home til 6:30ish so I popped the movie in.
I was surprised with how much I liked it. I hate to admit this but: I put it in my Netflix queue thinking it was something I'd want to see. Well, it's been at my house since 5/30/07 thanks to Netflix.

Now I feel bad that I waited so long to see it :)

Paul Giamatti did a great job as Cleveland. I was in tears at the end when he apologized to his family. I'd forgotten that Ron Howard's daughter was in this one. And the interaction between the mother and daughter were very interesting at times! If you get a chance, watch it. Just make sure to watch it during the day! ;)

Movies watched

Got to watch 2 of the 3 Netflix movies at the house this weekend.
Friday's movie was The Illusionist

DH had a hard day at work so he fell asleep while it was on. Got to sit there and watch it all by myself. Good thing it wasn't very scary :) Not a bad movie but I liked The Prestige better. Now that movie left you with lots of questions you weren't quite sure if you knew the answer to or not!

Sunday's movie was Happy Feet

I admit I was looking forward to this one. The commercials for it were very cute. I did giggle a couple of times while watching it but at the end it was a let down. Not sure what I was expecting to feel but just know that I didn't feel it. Bummer...
