After rereading our earlier post on Miss Congeniality, Movie_Maven_Jr. wanted to collaborate, once again, on another blog, so after carefully perusing our extensive movie collection, we agreed upon the “Final Destination” trilogy (soon to be a…um…fourlogy? with the 4th installment due 21 August 2009.)
Movie_Maven_Jr is studying personal achievement in her Life Skills class and the teacher was discussing the film Rudy (1993), the true story of Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger whose dream was to play football for Notre Dame in the mid 1970s. Being considerably smaller than his teammates, and not as athletically-inclined, he beat the odds. Starring Sean Astin, Ned […]
Mr. Movie_Maven and I rented “The Signal” (2007) last night, touted as a horror/sci fi/thriller, and it didn’t disappoint on any level.
This 2000 comedy starring Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt, Candace Bergen, and priceline.com’s own William Shatner (who I have to say I had a major crush on when he was in ‘Star Trek’, had his own hair, and didn’t weigh the equivalent of a domesticated pygmy elephant.)
Just kidding….but I got your attention, didn’t I??
I figured I ought to round out my Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan month-of-blogs with Nolan’s first feature film “Following” (1998) which we recently rented. His first film “Doodlebug” (1997) can be seen in its 2:55 minute entirety here.
Now that I have my daughter, Movie_Maven_Jr hooked on Christian Bale, we watched “The Prestige” the other night on DVD. Having seen Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece in the theather when it was first released, I had forgotten how wonderful the film is.
So, as those of you who actually do read my blog know, I am a horror movie nut. Despite the fact that they scare the bejeezus out of me, I persist in renting and watching them and, subsequently, having nightmares.
Again, here is Movie_Maven_Jr. to give a comical and (somewhat) literary review of the first four “Saw” films; in order of appearance. Needless to say, we are both psyched (or psychotic??) for “Saw V” and “Saw VI.”
I recently had the combined pleasure/horror of viewing “Cube” (1997), “Cube 2: Hypercube” (2002) and “Cube Zero” (2004) on DVD (however, not in that order….I saw “Cube Zero” before “Cube 2″.) I had wanted to see Cube for years, and actually was unaware that there were sequels/prequels. |
