I like to do things to excess. Even if I didn't like it, that's who I am. Sometimes I do nothing, then I do lots of things. Right now is a "lots of things" time. In the past two days I've seen:
-->
The Pursuit of Happyness (Widescreen Edition)
(ok);
-->
Catch & Release
(disturbing, but the celestial seasonings thing was awesome);
-->
Freedom Writers (Widescreen Edition)
(ok);
-->
Auntie Mame
(most excellent);
-->
Born into Brothels
(good - but a documentary so appreciation will vary);
-->
Being There
(bizarre).
-->
Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)
(awesome)
-->
The Last King of Scotland (Widescreen Edition)
(good)
-->
Failure to Launch (Special Collector's Edition)
(prosaic hollywood)
-->
The Queen
(over-hyped)
UPDATE:
-->
Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Widescreen Edition)
(okay, but not nearly as good as I thought would be)
-->
Bend It Like Beckham (Widescreen Edition)
(brilliant)
-->
Amadeus
(brilliant - another I can't believe I just saw now)
-->
Orange County (Ws Sub)
(okay)
-->
The Weather Underground
(wow. basically someone let spoiled self-involved white kids get totally out of control. what idiots)
-->
Blood Diamond (Widescreen Edition)
(good)
-->
Bride and Prejudice
(boring, almost inexplicably, but I was totally bored)
-->
Babel
(hmmm. kind of like traffic, if traffic weren't compelling and were more concerned with politics and cinematography than the story. oh, and over-hyped)
-->
Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk
(interesting documentary that kind of hits the wrong points on what's wrong with higher education)
-->
Akeelah and the Bee (Widescreen Edition)
(beautiful. makes you cry in a happy way)
I pseudo-watched the following, which I though I hadn't seen previously, but was mistaken:
-->
Vanity Fair (2004) (Widescreen)
-->
21 Grams
