Movies & Books List October
(A little late)
* = repeated viewing/reading.
Movies
Apocalypse Now (Redux) - first time I'd ever watched it properly, and it was the extended version. I got a sore butt but I loved it! Such a surprisingly pretty film.
Up In the Air - I identified with a lot of the sentiments in this movie. The end broke my heart a little bit.
Back to the Future*
Back to the Future part II*
Back to the Future part III*
Changling
Chronicle
Citizen Kane ~ ROSEBUD! Quite enjoyable, I understand all the parodies now - And now I know where the 'Monty Burns' song came from!
Pet Sematary*
Revolutionary Road - Gee, this depressed me for the rest of the day ;_;
Hocus Pocus* STILL AWESOME
X-Men 2 - Enjoyed it much more than the first film.
The Reef - Completely ridiculous. As situation horror-thrillers go it wasn't too bad at first, but having knowledge of Great White Sharks ( despite my love of JAWS) made the movie impossible for me to enjoy, and the characters were so annoying I wasn't sorry when they got eaten. (Although it was loosely based on a true story, it was a different species of shark involved, and more than one at that.) However it's another one I can cross off the list I am working though. :)
Felidae - OH MY GOD. I was browsing old animation on you tube and people kept mentioning this movie. So I watched it. It contains nightmare fuel that gives Watership Down a run for it's money! However, I did enjoy the film - certainly NOT for children. It's German adult animation about a detective cat investigating horrific murders of fellow cats in his new neighborhood. I would recommend it with caution - you can watch the (actually pretty good) English dub in parts on you tube:
Books
The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson
Nelson (Brit comic anthology) by various.
Forget Me Never by Gina Blaxill (Good job, hon!) :D
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Felidae by Akif Pirinçci (I liked the movie enough that I bought the paperbacks - I am actually enjoying it more than the movie!) (in progress)
The People Who Eat Darkness by Richard Lloyd Parry (in progress)
