Hey, guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I've been getting ready for Turkey Day and have been consumed with figuring out those pesky holiday logistics
.
I love reading everyone's reviews! It reminds me however at how badly I am at putting thoughts on a film into a coherent description of my feelings toward it. I suck at reviewing, that's all there is to it!
Hey Sylvie good to see ya
and no worries, I totally understand how much work goes into Turkey Day! especially if you're doing the cooking and you're having family over. Luckily for me, my mom does the cooking, so my job is to:
A..show up,
B..eat..
C..get sleepy
I
loved what you wrote about the movies, straight up, totally honest and fun to read too.
Leon: The Professional This is probably only my second time seeing this film and I had forgotten how much I loved it. Luc Besson's portrayal of Leon is so miserable and detached yet caring for his plant and then Mathilda. I cried even more at the ending this time around. And it's so damn satisfying to see what happens to Stansfield!
Yup, I totally agree. Leon and Maltida make the movie special. Ha! Stansfield really got his just deserts too. That was good movie
The Graduate....Maybe I'm just old and cranky yet too young to have really experienced the 60's.
but Dustin Hoffman's character is a spoiled kid in my eyes and I wasn't feeling any sort of empathy for him. And Elaine? She really wanted to play sloppy seconds to her mom? No thanks. These thoughts o mine tainted the rest of the film for me, unfortunately. Maybe I'll try and watch it again in another decade, LOL.
Ha, too funny
you can include me in on the, to old and cranky yet too young to remember the 60's. I could see the movie being this huge important anthem for the baby boomers, but I'm not in that generation so can't quite relate. I liked The Graduate as a movie, but I'm with you that I had no empathy for Dustin Hoffman's character.
Bottle Rocket Oh, how I love thee, let me count the ways! This is the kind of humor I like...
My favorite line at which I laugh non-stop:
"Okay. There, you see the star is me, right there, and I'll be in there. The X is Anthony. Bob, you're the zero out here in the car."
The X is Anthony. Bob, you're the zero out here in the car." I love that line too, the movie is so rich in rich characters, I don't even care what they do, I just like spending time with them.
