My answers to the movie meme

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
1. One movie that made you laugh: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

2. One movie that made you cry: Titanic. Like a freaking little baby, and every time I watch it, too.

3. One movie you loved when you were a child: Anything Disney, really. I guess one of my very favorites was their version of Robin Hood, the animated one with the animals!

4. One movie you’ve seen more than once: Many! But let's do which movie I've seen the most, and that would be Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back!

5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it: Heh, I basically have no shame, so it's pretty hard for me to be embarrassed by anything I could admit to. But maybe I'll choose the one that others are embarrassed by my liking, ha! And that'd be Daredevil: The Director's Cut.

6. One movie you didn't like: Pan's Labyrinth. Seriously. It made me feel gross all over by the end. In the immortal words of my best friend Shelley, "It's just...nasty."

7. One movie that scared you: Night of the Living Dead, the original.

8. One movie that bored you: The Ruins. Jonathan Tucker and Joe Anderson, even your fabulous performances could not save this bowser!

9. One movie that made you happy: Ratatouille.

10. One movie that made you miserable: Waitress. It made me happy to begin with, but then the character of the husband was in it more and more and was just so disgusting and then she didn't even hook up with Nathan Fillion at the end! Pneh.

11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see: Saw. James Wan just gives me the heebies! I've never seen Death Sentence either, despite the enticement of Garrett Hedlund!

12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with: Indiana Jones.

13. The last movie you saw: In the theater, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; on DVD, The Orphanage. (Verdicts were: worth it; not.)

14. The next movie you hope to see: I really want to see Pineapple Express but I don't know if that's going to happen. And they moved Harry Potter back to next summer, so I dunno. Whatever catches my fancy and I have money to pay for a ticket at the same time. On DVD, we just rented Amazing Grace which I'm hoping to watch soon.

Restful day

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
After the weird start to the week I had, with the downswing and then upswing and then evening out, it was really pleasant to just have a rest today; it was nice and rainy and me and the bro put on a couple of horror movies. Thankfully, Netflix was obliging and two arrived in my mailbox. I'd wanted to grab Day of the Dead for a while and it was Jade's recommendation that finally spurred me to move it up on my queue. Some good B-movie stuff; I liked the weird way the zombies moved, especially the ceiling action. It was more like Resident Evil that the Resident Evil movies were! Plus, I have a huge girl-crush on Mena Suvari.

The second movie was, hmmm, not so hot. How you could go wrong with a cast like Joe Anderson, Jena Malone and Jonathan Tucker (my Will PB, mmmmmmm, ass shots and all, though I felt cheated that his dressing scene was shot from the hip up when I had to see the chick from The Covenant's tits)? Oh, I know the answer to this: make the movie really, really boring, and the characters shallow enough that you don't care who dies. Actually cut for spoilers ) This doesn't occur to them, as shallow as they are. But am I sorry I watched it? Did I mention Jonathan Tucker ass? Hell no!

Third movie I got from Netflix was Eastern Promises, which I'm saving to watch with my sister and which I've already watched myself. Don't think my brother would like it, though he's surprised me with some of the other Oscar winners this past year--he really liked No Country for Old Men. He prefers the lighter fair, though, and the subtle artistic nuances of cinema are kinda lost on him.

Relaxing day all around :-D
