Relax. See a ‘good’ movie!

By The Parodist | March 19, 2007

I just came back from watching a movie at ATC. It caused me to wonder just how many movies I’ve watched and haven’t blogged about. Funny. Rico and I had to laugh at our *luck* when it comes to watching, er, “good” movies.

Casino Royale - First movie date. Seeing a Bond movie is always safe. Twas a fine film in my book.

Eragon - Gawd. Please don’t let me say anything about this movie. Twas bad enough that I had to waste good cinema just to watch it. Heh.

Babel - Intense. It’s a movie that will require 100% of your attention, ergo, it’s not a movie I’d recommend you watch if “relaxation” is your goal.

Apocalypto - Sigh. It’s heavily branded but I’ve got to hand it to the makers since it is a well-made me thinks. However, the goal is to R-E-L-A-X. Sigh.

300 - It’s a good movie, too. Loved it at face value. It certainly had that wow factor but not Oscar material, IMHO.

Dreamgirls - If you’ve seen the movie adaptation of the musical, RENT, you wouldn’t appreciate this movie like I did. But all throughout the movie, I keep thinking to myself, “Wow, Beyoncé is sooo beautiful in this movie.”

Pathfinder - Overstatement. I have the movie still fresh on my mind. And it’s like the flow of script didn’t agree with me somehow. I feel like kicking myself for choosing to watch this one over “The Pursuit of Happyness” like what we originally planned. Gah.

Movies I watched on DVD:

The Painted Veil - Great movie. It reminded me of the book, Love at the Time of Cholera (not that I read the book). It’s just that one of the major impressions left on me was they — more importantly, she — found love in the midst of a Cholera epidemic in China. Edward Norton and Naomi Watts starred in this film.

Night at the Museum
- It’s one of the movies I had most fun watching. :lol:

I missed a lot of films I had wanted to watch but did not have time to do so. I’m hoping that I won’t miss any of the ones I’ve got lined up. I hope our luck would change soon. And I have yet to drag a certain someone to one major chick flick just to see how he’d react to it. Muahahaha. ;)

Aw, come on. It’s not that bad, is it? Anyway, I’d appreciate recommendations!

    Ron: Er, ok.. that seems a little harsh but I can’t help it if you feel that way. :lol:

    I think the next time we watch a movie we should lower our expectations. That way, if the film blows, we won’t be as affected as we were after watching Pathfinder! :lol:

    Rico: But I certainly can’t help that I’d expect something from the movie I’m going to watch esp when they market it in a certain way, i.e. trailers and movie posters. Heh.
