What have you been watching?

Just saw jumper a couple of days ago. I think the movie was ok but the special effects were awesome. I give the movie a 3 out of 5.

Yesterday, I watched No Reservations....the movie, not Anthony Bourdain's series, although I do love to watch him, too! I really enjoyed the movie and my daughter loved it. We watched Good Luck Chuck over the weekend and enjoyed it. Some others I've seen: Ratatouille (loved it), Waitress (made me cry, everyone needs a Joe at some point in their lives), The Nanny Diaries (not nearly as good as the hype, IMO), American Pie Beta House (can they get any raunchier?), 3:10 to Yuma (was ok but not my fave!), and one that I was really surprised to enjoy so much, The Kingdom. Usually I'm not into action flicks like that but I ended up watching this one twice!

Persepolis was an excellent animated film about Iran (ironically in french...)

I just saw the movie American gangster. I loved the movie because of the strory.

Chef Ladybug, I'll add "Kadosh" to my list. (It means "holy", BTW.)

We're in a dry spell of movie-watching lately, as family obligations take up one of the two weekend days. Time is scarce. I did get to see "Stardust" as an On Demand selection.

On TV I've been watching the Jane Austen series from BBC. I'll be ordering them all on DVD!

Recently started watching the BBC series The State Within (available via netflix) and it is excellent. As far as movies the best one I have seen lately is:

Les Choristes (The Choir)

Dont get to the pictures much attal. But recently watched my all time favourite - Long kiss goodnight - Seen it a bidilion times but I still watch every minute. No Fast forwarding. Not really into movies, they take too long and CSI dvd's are much easier...Even the NY ones

ABC's premiere of A RAISIN IN THE SUN with P. Diddy.
Wanna watch PENELOPE, too.

Saw "Michael Clayton" the other night, really good, George Cloony is great in it, but I think he always is, has a good cast.

Watch Boston Legal, love James Spader, he is just weird enough...try and catch any Law & Order show...waiting for Dirty, Sexy Money to come back.

Last night we went and saw "Semi-Pro" with Will Ferrell. Pretty disappointing. I usually like his goofy movies, "Anchorman", "Blades of Glory", "Talladega Nights...", and the wonderful "Elf". All except "Elf" are nice send-ups of established norms. "Semi-Pro" doesn't successfully make fun of anything other than maybe '70's music. Unlike the others, it is is rated R and it seems they tried to make up for a week script with F bombs and worse. The language doesn't offend me, but this seemed pointless. The R is going to cost them at the box office is my guess. Other than a few early laughs, it just didn't work.

After that movie we came home and watched "Eastern Promises" on pay per view. This more than saved the night. Very intense Russian mob movie set in London. Powerful violence, nice ending. Viggo Mortensen is excellent as the mysterious Russian mob soldier. Like his role in "History of Violence", when he explodes, you want to be out of the way.

After that we watched "The Aristocrats". This is a documentary comprised of many interviews with comedians about the world's dirtiest joke. Really funny.

Hows that for one night? Can you tell my ten year old daughter was at a sleepover/birthday party? Can you tell my wife and I are sick of Hannah Montana? LOL.

On TV we have really been enjoying "Lost". Like a lot of people, we're not sure what the heck is happening, but it's fascinating nonetheless. We've loved every season, and it just keeps getting weirder.

Started working our way through the entire Stargate: SG-1 series again. Am into Season 5 about to start Season 6. All in anticipation of the movie "The Ark of Truth" to be released later this month on DVD!

Also saw "Once upon a Time in America - Long Version" that I recorded a long time ago off of C-band Satellite. Great movie, and (spoiler ahead) you don't realize it was all an opium dream Noodles was having until the very last few seconds of the movie!!

I just bought Bachelor Party 2, The last temptation

A good comedy

We haven't found much at the movie theaters that we're intersted in, Where I live they usually screen the independent and "arty" films on the other side of town. I guess they figure we're not sophisticated enough, right Kevin?

We enjoyed "Waitress" via OnDemand from the cable company. I know "No Country for Old Men", "Eastern Promises" and "There Will Be Blood" are all excellent viewing, but we haven't been in the mood for intensity lately.
