SD, you can count on the fact that whereever you look, they're making laws just outside your field of view. Bank on it. 's why we need to watch each other's backs 'round here...

But back to the movies!

I borrowed from the library and watched last night Whale Rider. I give it four stars. It really was a lovely little film. SonofV enjoyed it too and asked several questions throughout, almost to the point of distraction, but he mostly focused on the thread of the movie. Watch it if you can, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Road to Singapore. Can you believe Bob Hope gets third billing beneath Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour? Hmmph. Anyway, it's a sweet little romp, and leads neatly into the other three Road to... movies in the boxed set Santa got for MrsV this Christmas. A fun little movie.

Jonah -- A Veggie Tales Movie. Another delightful movie. The animation is quite good, the characters are funny and engaging. I find the story and the moral appealing (though others certainly may feel otherwise). SonofV really likes it too. It does justice to the Veggie Tales shorts. This feat is all the more impressive given that the shorts are very good and to carry it off in the much longer movie format requires at a minimum, a lot more jokes. An carry it off, they do. Recommended.

Audition - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235198/combined
An uplifting love story.

The Passion of the Christ - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335345/combined
After I watched it, I felt like a Christian - I laughed, I cried, I hit a Jew...

I got my wife March of the Penguins for Christmas. She popped it into the player on Christmas afternoon. Curiously, I felt the need for a blanket. So I wrapped myself up and promptly fell asleep. Now, whenever she needs a break from the kids, she pops it into the DVD player, and they fall asleep.

That movie is awesome!

Just finished watching Pink Floyd "The Wall".

It syncs up great with "The Wizard of Oz" soundtrack.

If you get the joke, reply to Pink at the funny farm, Chelsea...

"Little Britain"... Hmmm... Not sure about this one.

Just started watching "Prime Suspect" with Helen Mirren. So far, I've seen the first two episodes and it's outstanding...

Just watched "The Hillz" With Paris Hilton in it.

- I have never in my life sat through a more pathetic and stupid movie as this. I had to get up and wipe my dvd player when it was over because of how much shit my tv dribbled out of it while playing the movie. Who the hell funds this bullshit?

:lol: If you're such a Paris fan you should watch The Simple Life. At first I thought this was going to be some kind of packaged Hollywood thing where "in the end, the girls learn something." It soon became obvious that nobody was learning anything.

(Yeah, I watched it. :redface: )

You were just hoping for a wardrobe malfunction. Admit it.

No, not really. (Though I'm surprised they didn't do it at some point for the PR--it could have been fuzzed over for the broadcast and left in unedited for an "unrated" DVD.)

Collateral

I'm sorry it took me this long to get around to watching it.

Good movie, but there are a couple of shots where Tom Cruise's beard just looks too fake.

Airplane! (The Stop Calling Me Shirley Edition)

Must be watched many times, not just because the movie is so darn funny ... the extras are that good ... pop-up trivia and director's commentary are both very funny. The 'Long Haul' version with added commentary and deleted scenes inserted into appropriate spaces is a little choppy to watch, but interesting and informative.

The main menu for the DVD is set up like a safety card ... watch it all the way through, it's also quite amusing.

The most uplifting extreme B&D/Snuff film ever made, IMHO.

Just watched the Ring 2 - much better than I expected
Watching The Wire with my dad - Probably the best cop show ever made.
Watching Six Feet Under with my mom - I love HBO
Watching Red Dwarf Season 7 all on my lonesome - Extended, remastered episodes are interesting, since I've seen the originals so much.

Tonight I intend to start on Dark Angel, Season One. I don't know if I'm going to bother getting Season Two. I thought that the story lagged too much.
