Thanks to Seela's list we watched Secretary. It took three sittings because we've been busy through the days and kept falling asleep, so just watched the last half hour this morning. ( not the best way to watch a film). What a great music by Angelo Badalamenti. Good film. Glad we saw it.
What's next? . We have a slight uptight but not old relative coming next weekend, this would have been interesting to sit her down in front of not too graphic.
Mahler on the couch, about Gustav Mahler's visit to Freud.
Mahler needed help after finding out that his wife Alma had an affair with Walter Gropius.
I liked it.
This sounds interesting! Adding to my watchlist.
I caught Girl with the dragon tattoo on TV, the American version. Don't know what to think of it, really. It felt rushed. It was ok I suppose, but I was expecting more.
Watched The Drop with Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini. I don't think that I've seen a film yet (apart from Batman maybe) with Tom Hardy in it that I didn't enjoy. (He was amazing in Locke - if you've not seen it, it's just him driving and making phone calls at the same time, but it's mesmerising.)
I don't like violence so I was a bit wary about watching a film about gangsters but ironically, there was an undercurrent of potential threat to a dog which worried me enough to make me oblivious to the actual violence the humans were on the receiving end of
Ok so, I suppose sometimes my tendency to do things to tempt a spanking persists into bizarre behaviour.
last night we down loaded fifty shades of grey
I cannot be too masochistic though because when G said 'this is what women have been going nuts about? That emotional retard?' And asked if I was going to make him sit through the whole thing I agreed it had been a mad moment and a bad decision. May brought on by trying to be vaguely creative over the weekend, cutting out things of paper with a craft knife.
At least you know I'm honest as to my faults and failures.
I watched a couple of movies within the past few weeks. I watched the new Minions movie in 3D The minions are cute, and the movie made me giggle, and was totally enjoyable. The 3D wasn't that fabulous, with the exception of one or two effects that made me.. "Ah!l. I would have enjoyed it equally NOT in 3D.
The other movie I watched was Spy. This was also enjoyable and good for a few giggles. There is nothing special about the plot, just some good laughs along the predictable path. Both movies were just what I like in a movie, an enjoyable, short escape that doesn't leave me wishing I had saved my money. Both fun movies!
I've watched a bunch of movies in the last week or so...
The Imitation Game - interesting and well acted but it lagged in spots
The Gambler - With John Goodman and Mark Wahlberg I thought it would be a lock. Skip this one it's boring.
Mordecai - Very enjoyable farce but then again I like Johnny Depp.
The Woman in Gold - certainly not an action film but it held my interest throughout. Helen Mirren is brilliant as usual.
Focus - Will Smith as a super con man. It held my interest all the way through.
Unbroken - very well acted and believable but the subject matter was a bit of a bummer. Still a very well done film.
What We Do in The Shadows _ the Redbox marquee said "hilarious." NOT. Fortunately it was a freebie so I didn't waste my $.
I watched Synechdoche, New York and really loved it.
It's a little confusing movie and it seriously made me think. It's about a theater director who struggles with his life, wins a MacArthur grant and uses it to make a play that is about his life and tells about who he really is. In the process he builds a replica of New York in a warehouse.
It left a very big impact on me, that's for sure.
Death at a Funeral may well be the funniest movie I've seen in years. And that includes having seen Codependent Space Lesbian Seeks Same, I'll have you know.
In Death, a family gathers to hold the funeral service of their patriarch. The family is, well, quite British and rather dysfunctional. When a man turns up with the claim that he was the father's gay lover during the last months of the man's life, all hell breaks loose. Toss in some male nudity, hallucinogens, and bondage (of a sort) and it's fun for the whole (adult) family.
What did you think about Eyes wide shut?I quite like those adult black humour British comedies ( and I'm not great on a lot of classic British humour). Keeping mum is another funny film.
Well, our Internet picked up, we picked eyes wide shut from Seela's list, then because Internet looked dicey a the first free film offered ( paddington bear) I did not enjoy paddington bear and went to sleep but G said it was 'sweet' .
Tonight we might try frequencies again, see if we can watch it this time! I quite want to watch Boxing Helena but G thinks I will be upset by it, I feel he is being too overprotective.....
