JANUARY MOVIE ROUND UP
aka holy shit January is done today is February 1st how did that happen?!
A current tally~
Technically I watched Sassy Pants on the very last day of 2012. It ended fifteen minutes before midnight but I'm going to include it anyways because I make the rules.
Highlight? Haley Joel Osment in cutoff jean shorts and guyliner.
Lowlight? Haley Joel Osment in cutoff jean shorts and guyliner.
Looper was a surprisingly surprising surprise. Less action more plot, I thought it'd be a lot worse.
I had already seen it two times before, but I have no problem with seeing Paul for a third time. It's just one of those well paced comedies you can chill out and enjoy.
...I don't even remember how Nate & Margaret ended? I know I watched it. I really did. I don't dislike the movie. I vaguely remembering enjoying it, but idk. Sometimes movies just don't make an impression on me. My brain is only so big. I can't remember everything.
I Will Follow was a good movie. Life drama~ Interesting characters. Fun to watch. A random Netflix find that I decided to watch one evening when I had nothing to do.
Two socially stunted stoner car thief outcasts take in a neglected child! Ladies and gents, A Bag of Hammers. It's like a super cute indie bromance film. That's how I'll describe it. The ending is actually super adorable and it's pretty much the quintessential heterosexual life partners flick. IT WILL GET YOU IN THE FEELS AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.
I've been meaning to watch I Love You Phillip Morris for the longest time! I noticed it was on Netflix so Dad and I flopped down on evening and watched it. It's good! It's great! ...It's really depressing when you remember it's based off a true story. Out of all of the movies I watched this month, this is the one I'd recommend the most.
What's slow moving, mildly confusing and makes Michael Fassbender look like a serial killer? Shame! Honestly just skip this movie. It doesn't give you anything and just made me feel mildly depressed. And not in a good way.
Paranorman! I saw this when it was in theaters (during a more than awkward first date) and I really wanted to get the DVD, mostly for the behind the scenes features. Stop motion film taken to the nth degree. The character design is fantastic and the film itself is good. Zombies! Witches! Also, a surprising gay character that is handled fantastically. (Which you've probably already been spoiled about.) But it was super nice to watch for the first time and have no idea that [Spoiler (click to open)]Mitch has a boyfriend that really enjoys chick flicks.
Strapped was... is... um. Wannabe artsy film about a gay hustler. I get where they were going with it but it wasn't very subtle when it was trying to be subtle the whole film. idk. IDK. Cheese. Sub par acting. ...And a fair bit of sex?
My only documentary for the month was Whores' Glory. Well done. I enjoyed it. ...And depressing, obviously. Definitely see it if you're into docs and such, just don't expect it to lift your spirits or any shit like that.
And my only musical, and second favourite of the month, Love Songs! This is another movie I've been meaning to watch but never got around to, but I finally did. And I'm glad I did! I'm usually not a big fan of musicals, mostly because I normally don't like the music in said musicals. But I adored Love Songs. I really liked Louis Garrel in The Dreamers and I've been meaning to see more of his films... and both so far have featured relationships involving three people? My favourite song from it. Now go watch it.
Hey there Emmy Rossum, what are you doing in Dare? I ended up watching this movie because I needed something to watch while I was doing my nails, and it was in the Gay & Lesbian section of Netflix. Teen angst! Discovering sexuality! ...idk it was average.
And that's it! 14 movies in all, some good, some not so good. I want to watch more in February. 20, maybe? Sure, 20. That'll be my goal.
