What I watched in May, June and the start of July
I haven't been on the Internet as much, because I've been actually going outside. Also, my sleep counsellor cautioned me against using the Internet at night. So I've been drastically cutting down my Internet time, and it's made a huge difference for me.!
Still, here's what I've been watching.
Season 1 of Pushing Daisies
Season 2 of True Blood
1. Army of Darkness- I thought this was pretty funny, but it was the only one in the triology that I've seen. I will see the other ones though. So many great lines.
2. Babies- Mari and I went to see this in the theatre and I loved it. It was funny and cute and really shows how humans develop and how we're the same and different.
3. Sex and the Single Girl- A great movie based on Helen Gurley Brown's book and starring Natalie Wood. It was a funny, madcap and cute romantic comedy.
4. My Winnipeg- Guy Maddin's homage to his city, Winnipeg. This is REALLY artsy, but intriguing. I could probably make a similar movie about Saskatoon.
5. She's out of my league- Wow, this was pretty dumb. I wanted it to be more, but couldn't get into it.
6. Mean Streets- There's a reason why Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are great movies. Scorsese was just learning at this point.
7. Who's that knocking at my door?- Scorsese's first movie. There's a reason why you haven't heard of it.
8. Scoop- A cute movie starring Scarlett Johansson as a journalist who is investigating a tarot card killer, played by Hugh Jackman. I liked this movie more than I thought I would.
9. Eclipse (I know)- Load of crap, but I wanted to see it.
10. Pretty in Pink- Wow, Andrew McCarthy is a complete dick in this movie. I'll never understand this one.
11. Alice in Wonderland- This should have been called "story loosely based on Alice in Wonderland." I didn't like it.
12. Ferris Bueller's day off- I was surprised how well this movie stands up. However, the technology used in the film is DAMN funny.
13. Nick and Norah's infinite playlist- I liked it better the second time round.
Still, here's what I've been watching.
