Below are my movies of the week:
February
9
Fight Club (Directed by David Fincher) David
Fincher is one of my favorite directors and he delivered big time with this movie.
The characters were cast perfectly and the story was told so very well. Ed
Norton and Brad Pitt playing off one another was fun to watch.
The Mist (Directed by Frank Darabont) This movie
started out pretty strong and was building off of an interesting plot but by
the end it completely fell apart. It felt like Darabont rushed the ending. I
did like the brief moment when the actresses that play Carol and Andrea from
The Walking Dead were in a scene together.
Talhotblond (Directed by Barbara Schroeder) This
documentary was a suggestion from the Get Up On This podcast and the first
thing that comes to mind is WOW. When watching this documentary it reminded me
of a cross between NBC's Dateline and the movie Catfish.
February
10
Bushwhacked (Directed by Greg Beeman) I remember
seeing this movie after it came out on video. I always liked Daniel Stern from
the Home Alone movies and his character in this movie was similar, except for he
wasn't a real criminal.
February
11
20 Feet from Stardom (Directed by Morgan
Neville) My friend Lexi suggested this to me and I am glad she did. This
documentary focused on the voices of the background singers we have heard in
songs going back decades. Fame is a lot different for the women standing behind
the lead singers. I recognized a few of the backup singers including Judith
Hill who was recently a contestant on NBC's The Voice.
February
12
Oldboy (Directed by Chan-wook Park) This has
been in my queue since the day I joined Netflix. It is hard to explain this
movie without giving much away but I will say it is very intense and has some
great fight scenes.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Director's Cut) (Directed by Steven
Spielberg) I do not remember ever seeing this movie before, and I have a good
memory. I am bummed more than a little it took me so long to finally watch it.
It is a great Sci-Fi as well as Spielberg movie.
February
13
McHale's Navy (Directed by Bryan Spicer) After a long
day at work I went with this mindless "masterpiece" to give me a few
laughs to help me unwind. I got my laughs and a bit more by the time this movie
was over.
February
14
Blue Jasmine (Directed by Woody Allen) From early in
this movie I was not happy with the tone of the movie and the main character.
As it went on I had a hard time trying to finish it. By the end of the movie I
was happy with the outcome because my view of the main character hadn't changed
a bit.
February
15
Fast & Furious 6 (Directed by Justin
Lin) I will gladly watch Fast & Furious movies well in to the double
digits. I like the ever changing cast dynamic and the high octane (pun
intended) action. It also doesn't hurt to have The Rock as one of the stars.
The Twilight Saga: Twilight (Directed by Catherine
Hardwicke) I really want to know where to get the invisible ketchup that
everyone was using in the diner throughout the movie. Is it like Crystal Pepsi?
I use to love that as a child. Also #KendrickCrush
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Directed by Chris
Weitz) Why did they have to make the most boring book in the series so long?
This movie was too drawn out and could have lost at least 20 minutes without
losing much of the story.
