We have been movie watching fools lately. It's such a good thing, because I remember not too long ago, when watching anything, much less a movie, for any length of time in one period was a challenge. This is an indication that we have some semblance of an adult/together-time life back again. The movies that we've watched since Christmas:
1. The Hangover - hilarious. Not to watch with your mom :)
2. Julie & Julia - Yes, chick flick, but I really liked it. Both Amy Adams and Meryl Streep were good. Meryl Streep was great, actually. Good, inspiring story for writers.
3. Duplicity - (Clive Owen & Julia Roberts) - just OK.
4. Public Enemies - very good. By the same director, Michael Mann, who made Heat. This one had very much of a Heat-feel. It's long, but I recommend.
5. 500 Days of Summer - good indie film. We had recently watched "Away We Go", which has an indie-feel to it, too. I compared the two, and because of that, it lessened my preference for 500 Days of Summer.
6. The Heat Locker - intense. Great insight into what war does to soldiers and their assimilation into 'real' life back home. We can't thank the soldiers enough, for sacrificing in many more ways than we can comprehend, for us. Very much recommend.
7. Up - what you would expect from Pixar, as they evolve. Good story.
8. Inglorious Basterds - what you would expect from Quentin. Good. Pulp Fiction is better.
9. The Illusionist - (Edward Norton) - good movie.
Today, we are going to watch "Extract" from Mike Judge. Then, it is all about the SuperBowl. With the Stovalls for the first half. Go Saints. :)
