something to watch

First off, I'm alive! I was one sick lady yesterday with a nasty stomach bug. I was pretty sure I was going to die. I am still not quite 100% better but I am drinking a smoothie right now which is miles of improvement from yesterday. Hope this fruity delight stays inside of me for more that 5 minutes...Anyways what this post is really about:

 For those who enjoy foreign films, give Reconstruction a try. I watched it the other night and I really liked it. It was beautiful, perplexing and sexy. I was confused while watching it and I couldn't stop thinking about it, which in my opinion made the film even better. The soundtrack is great too. Confession: There was some girl crushing watching this film, I think Maria Bonnevie is absolutely gorgeous.

WHATABURGER or as our german friends would probably say vatabuegah. i dunno i just like to pretend say things in german from time to time. consider me slighty germanophile. speaking of German does anyone else have a middle aged man crush on Christoph Waltz? Or is that just me?

Watch the latest Quentin Tarantino films and then get back to me if you do not. I am in love with Django Unchained and am so glad it beat Les Miz in box office ticket sales. Any anyways. we went to WHATABURGER for our hot NYE date and here's what I think of it...It's alright. Much better than your run of the mill fast food franchise burger joints, but it is no Crown, Apollo, Atlantis, Pace's or Hire's.

Hope everyone's new years was fantastic. Ours was crazay. Our WHATABURGERS were made to order and our 48oz sodas were bubblin. We recovered from our wild night fine and are getting our place ready for our first visitors!

films of late

Joey and I love going to the movies. When he was in town last weekend we went to a movie two days in a row. The first movie we went to was Seven Psychopaths by Martin McDonagh. With out getting into too much detail...any detail about the film it was well...psychotic. For me that was a good thing. For Joey it got old. The film is Quentin Tarantinoesque in that it is a mix of comedy, extreme violence and drama. Christopher Walken makes the film, but the rest of the cast did great too...Collin you are turning into a silver fox and I like it.

I agree with Joey that at the end it was trying too hard to muster up some deep meaning to justify all of the WTF moments. Since I have a twisted love for gore and comedy in one film this movie I'd give it 3.5 stars. Joey's rating was much lower, especially after seeing our second film Argo.

Argo directed by Ben Affleck was a nail biter to say the least. The film was really well done, and even though you knew it ended well, (history spoils that one)  you just didn't quite know how. Hollywood added some obviously untrue extras to keep us on the edge of our seats, but despite the overkill on suspense I really liked the movie. I love the 60s and 70s, and the film sparked an interest for me in Hollywood at the time of sci-fi exploding into the cinematic sphere.

For most people I would recommend Argo over Seven Psychopaths, but I have a few friends I know will appreciate the latter like I did...Mikell I am thinking of you.
