memfree's Journal: more movies

I didn't get around to mentioning last weeks movies, but I feel compelled to do so before dealing with THIS weeks movies.

Brown Sugar: Happy Romantic Comedy centered around two kids who love hiphop, and who grow into adulthood along with it. I'm not much for the Romantic Comedies, and I don't consider this a 'best bet' but it was watchable. You could do worse, but you could easily skip it in favor of something better.

Bloody Sunday: everyone MUST see this movie, but first, you have to know something about the event. Books are best, but for quick info, try something like one of these. The film is gritty, realistic, and FAR more accurate and useful an account of events than, say, Pearl Harbor.

8 Women: Comedic Whodunit. THIS is my type of light fare! We've got a murder, great acting, and comic relief. The plot per se is inconsequential. Finding out who's screwing who (both in literal and figurative sense) is what makes this a fun watch. Since its an Ozon film, you know the sets and costumes are excellent.

Do you stand to watch that many movies a week?

I can barely pull a movie a month, if I end up doing two movies I cannot see another movie for quite a few months afterwards.

Watching movies takes far to much out of me, ugh. Tiring experience.

I don't burn out until I see 4 or more movies a day for more than 3 days in a row. Durning the annual festivals, I often have a weekend where (starting Friday) my movies per day is 3,5,5,0,2,0,2,3,4,3 (wrapping to following Sunday). I pay cash for all of 'em. Since it isn't a paid gig, I only write the barest amount that will let me remember why I did or didn't like them. If I was rich, I'd go to Toronto, Sundace, and Cannes, too. :-)
