Movies! January 17, 2008

Juno - I Went to the theater (I know it’s shocking) and saw Juno the week before last. It was beautiful. I’m still in awe of it. I’m buying the soundtrack tomorrow. (Or at least ordering it off Amazon tomorrow.) I really liked everything about the movie and I’m glad I saw it in a theater on my own.

Blood Diamond – I was at my grandparents last weekend and they have Satellite TV and I was flipping through trying to find a good movie. I settled on Blood Diamond and my grandma watched it with me. I’m sure it was more violence than she likes and it was for me as well but it was so good. It’s not an unfamiliar topic to me. I stopped wanting anything to do with diamonds (conflict free or not) in like 1998 or so. It’s so nice to see something else about it. My grandma and I talked about it during the movie and a little after. She kept saying “I had no idea” so it felt good to be able to share something like that with her.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy – I’ve seen this one ages ago but it was on so I watched it again. Anything with Mos Def in it is good! Plus Hi I’m a geek! I read the book at 13 and was delighted to find out that my favorite number is THE number! It was really fun to watch the movie again and the scene where they are all knitted is my favorite. I really should get a copy for my library. It’s fantastic.

Once my netflix starts up again (new CC # kind of messed me up and then I over spent so it’ll be tomorrow before I get it paid and on to more movies.) you can look forward to my reviews of Dexter and other movies that I can’t remember at the moment.

Have a great day!!!
