Friend's Visit & Movies

Mar 13, 2005 12:49

My friend from Santa Fe was staying with me for a few days and just left. We had a good visit- drank lots of coffee, ate yummy vegetarian meals, watched some movies and talked. I also worked on the cover design for his book. When he left, I took a very long nap because I was so tired!  Now that things are back to normal, I have to pick up the paints and paintbrushes and get going again.

I've been watching a lot of movies lately. Love that Netflix program... Here's what I've seen and what I think about it-

Kill Bill vol.1 & 2- AMAZING!!!!Tarentino's best work! Epic, mythical and brilliant.  (A++++)
Alien vs. Predator- Major Cheese-fest  (F-)
Monster- Emotionally raw tragic story. Charleze Theron is amazing in this film. (A+)
Pieces Of April- Quirky story about dysfunctional family drama.  (B+)
Supersize Me- A man eats McDonald's food 3 times a day for 30 days and gets very sick from it. Excellent movie that every American should watch. Interesting segment about sugar in schools too. (A)
Envy- I like Jack Black. But I didn't like this film. (D)
Anchorman- Okay. I liked Will Ferrel in Elf a lot better. (C)
Eternal Sunshine- It's so hard to watch Jim Carrey play a tragic and sad role. I enjoyed the film effects and general scrambling of the timeline.  (C)
Lost In Translation- I can't even tell you why I liked this one. I think it was because Japan is such a strange and bizarre culture. It was a real visual treat. Didn't really like the plot. (B-)
I Heart Huckabees- EXCELLENT!!! Quirky and fun Existential drama. If you sit around wondering "what it's all about", you'll love this one. (A+)
