movie reviews by the gimp

[Paula]

If you want mindless fun, we really liked Superstar with the Sat. Night Live comedian who plays Mary Catherine Gallaher -- Most fun for Catholic girls to watch.

We also liked Tallahega (sp?) nights with Will Farell.

Dodge Ball was great, too.

All of the above are really mindless fun and offer some belly-laughs.

If you want to bring out the old country Italian in you, I love "The Night of the Shooting Stars" (WW2 in Tuscany seen through the eyes of a 6 year old girl) and "Cinema Paradiso" (best ending in a movie, EVER) . But you'll need to have the energy to read the subtitles.

Other good movies -- "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Monsoon Wedding" (wedding story in India).

good ones paula. thanks.

today's movie: The Color Purple. this is one of my all-time favorites. loved the book eeeons ago, and have seen the movie a dozen times at least (but not in the last 5 or so years so it was nice to see it again).

Talladega Nights is great mindless fun! Those 2 little boys, Walker and Texas Ranger, have some of the best lines in the whole movie!!

Toots! Wasn't it from the book "The Color Purple" the line about learning to drink your coffee black, for their will be days you won't have cream and sugar? Or is that from Last Living Confederate Widow Tells All? I can't remember which, but that one simple line taught me a lot about life.

OK, one toooo many margaritas and I'm getting sappy. Time for bed!:funn:

Also, I just watched the Break Up today. Man, that was hard to watch . Hit tooo close to home. Good movie though.

I wasn't sure if I liked this movie or not. it was kind of uncomfortable to watch. But I did like the ending. It's okay to break up, and life does go on. Vince was such a convincing character, wasn't he?
