Two weeks of movies by allegra
Jet lag + Matt is sick + holiday + Allegra is sick = 2 slugs who watch waaaay too many movies
According to the latest estimates, Matt and I collectively watched 20 movies over the last two weeks. Movies from Netflix, movies from Comcast on Demand, movies from Amazon Unbox.
We even darkened the door of a brick-and-mortar video rental shop—twice! And I stood around dumbly trying to remember how such businesses worked. Oh the desperation…
Which is all sort of good (aside from the “sick” part), since we like to download stuff, and we never actually make it to the theater anymore, unless it’s some long-awaited re-creation of a childhood obsession.
Out of 20-some movies, which are starting to run together, I give you the standouts:
- The Waitress: love the anti-chick-flick
- Stardust: fantasy fairy tale happiness
- A Good Year: mmm… want a French chateau
- The Matador: unlikely, shocking comedy
- Bourne Ultimatum: great action flick
- The Man with No Name trilogy: Clint Eastwood redefined westerns
You can miss: License to Wed. Unbelievable, underdeveloped characters. Silly story line. Major plot holes. The only redeeming value is that Mandy Moore’s character wears pretty dresses.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming (i.e. Matt goes back to school next week).
