Sadly, it's time to say goodbye to this for another year....Right now, I'm somewhere on the delightful 9-hour car ride home, potentially with some combination of 4-year-old, 2-year-old, and 8-month-old to distract on the way. Good times.
Since I don't know what Kristen has cooked up for Poe this week, I'll catch up with that in a few days, and instead, bring you a little summary of the movies I've digested this month.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) - This was beautifully filmed and acted, but something about it just didn't sit right with me. I didn't dislike it, exactly - I just couldn't ever quite bring myself to CARE about these people. I all seemed very detached, to me. The most emotion I felt was in the hospital scenes, with Caroline and her dying mother. But, it was certainly an interesting story.
Somewhere in Time (1980) - interesting book/movie comparison - one of the few times I think the movie might actually do the book justice.
The Uninvited (2009) - why do I watch movies like this? I just wind up having creepy dreams for the next week.
Taken (2008) - Yikes! This movie had me on the edge of my seat - Liam Neeson was scarily wonderful as the father determined to find his daughter. And Hello! Ruby Demon from Supernatural - nice to see you again.
I guess I saw Taken before we got to Ruby so I didn't realize she was in it! She was the friend?
ReplyDeleteI like creepy movies...I see almost all of them!
I'll have to put Taken and Somewhere in Time on my movie list.
ReplyDeleteAnd I *still* haven't gotten to the new HP.
I just had to comment, since I love my movies and seen 3 out of the 4 you mentioned. I too thought Benjamin Button was missing something, you just can't put your finger on, you know. Taken was a fablous movie, I saw it twice! And The Uninvited was good, a nice twist... it was funny too just because I had to explain it to other people. you hit the nail on all the movies!... oh yeah and GO SUPERNATURAL! :)
