I'm watching The Kite Runner as I blog. Its tough at times since I do have to look up and read some subtitles. Its very good so far...though it makes you want to beat the sh!t out of the lead character in the first act. I guess that's a sign of a good actor, if they can get you to feel different emotions about them.
I've been watching a lot of movies and catching up on TV shows to kill the time. Since we're able to "borrow" a lot of new movies from the internet and with Netflix, I'm getting in a lot of films. I've also been able to watch a lot of TV shows as well, the internet is fantastic, since I don't watch them when they originally air I just look for them streaming somewhere.
Since I would probably make as bad a movie critic as I would a food critic, I'll set up a handy chart to break down how I felt about the movie. Yes, I know I'm notoriously forgiving when it comes to rating movies. Many of you have heard my infamous words: "If you take it for what its worth". I'll try to be a little more critical when recommending movies or shows. But, it should be noted that I am a big escapist when watching movies, so take my recommendations with that in mind.
Reset Button's Rating Scale:
3 Strictor Heads: Watch it or we can't be friends anymore!
2 Strictor Heads: Definitely try watching if you have time.
1 Strictor Head: Eh, if you take it for what its worth.
Well, here are a few movies I watched lately with my rating. Do enjoy!
I'd forgotten what a crazy and violent movie this was. Very fun movie to watch. Also a great "six degrees" movie trivia game for all the actors in it (That means you F.A.!).
I really wanted to like this movie more, but it just felt lacking. As many of you know I'm a big history and World War II buff, so maybe my expectations were too high.
A very good story and well acted. I should probably have read the book first, but the movie was very good and emotional. I think I may go buy a kite get into some kite flying duels, haven't done that in decades.
This is an awesome Showtime series. I just finished watching season 3. I would highly recommend this show. Its funny, violent and the plot twists are pretty neat. In case you were wondering, its about a
serial killer named Dexter who only preys on murderers. Good stuff!
Sadly, on the TV front, BSG only has 2 more episodes to go...so yes, I'm crying on the inside and outside.
Remind me again why I'm friends with you? You are one weird creature.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch True Romance again. It's been a long time sine I first saw it. I wanted to read The Kite Runner, too, but I think I'll just watch the movie. Everyone I talked to said it was really good. I'll have to start Dexter and BSG this summer when I have more time. You've seen my TV lineup--no room there.
Hmmmm...if I don't watch the ones with the 3 strictor heads, does that mean you'll stop being my friend? That may just be incentive NOT to watch. Awesome!
