Long Delayed Netflix Update

November 28th, 2009 | by mmb5 |

Well, life’s been more than should be allowed crazy the last few months, but I’ve finally seen some movies.  Let’s see where we stand.

Moving On:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Susan) – Fine movie.  Have to have a heart of stone not to be at least a little touched.

Sneakers (Mark) – A little bit dated, and a little bit hard to believe, but good enough to get a third choice.  I was supposed to see this for a class back in 1991.  Glad I was finally get that assignment done.

Absence of Malice (Rodgers) – Surprised Sally Field didn’t get lung cancer in the first ten minutes.  And I always find it hard to believe Paul Newman would be blue collar for anything, but it works.

Son of Rambow (Perry) – See this movie.  See it now.  I still have a problem with the concept of “80’s nostalgia”, but it works.

Hot Fuzz (Craig) – Except for the ending, it was a great movie.

Saved (Mike P.) -Liked it better when it was called Mean Girls, but still good enough.

Thanks for Playing:

Sorcerer (Greg) – Setup took way too long, and the action scenes were rushed.

Guns of Navarone (Phil) – Opposite problem, way too much action with unsympathetic characters.

Still to Go:

Tokyo! (Jim)

TBA (Dwight)

Manchurian Candidate (David R.)
