Yesterday I saw my sixth of the ten films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar — District 9. Seeing it didn’t change any of my predictions. I’m off to see Avatar later this morning — in 3D of course. I’ve already predicted it will win.
Yesterday, in addition to District 9, I also watched The Hangover, Raising Arizona and The Milagro Beanfield War.
I’m not entirely certain that getting an HDTV with a wireless internet connection (Netflix!) was a good thing.
Milagro Beanfield War! One of my all time favorite movies!
The Milagro Beanfield War is one of the best unheralded movies ever.
I thought The Hangover was hilarious. I still have not seen Avatar.
Raising Arizona remains one of my all-time favorites. The line about “I don’t know, they’re jammies, they had Yodas and sh*t on ’em” never fails to crack me up. I liked The Hangover a lot too.
Pla and I watched “The Milagro Beanfield War” last night and we loved it. I rate it one Christopher Walkin shy of 5 stars. I think the movie would have been better without him in it. But I think that about all the movies he’s in.
His accent was Kevin Costner-as-Robbin-Hood bad.
But my god that scenery! Makes me want to move to Truchas New Mexico. And Amarante was delightful.
