Wanna See Something Weird?...

Of course you do! Why else would you be reading this blog? This one comes courtesy of blog-pal GetKristiLove. It's a film called The Triplets Of Belleville, a trippy animated movie about a whole bunch of strange shit that contains very little dialogue. As I've said in the past, I don't like to give a lot away in my movie posts, but check out the trailer, maybe read the blurb about it, and then add it to your Netflix queue. I found that watching this one while intoxicated in some way may enhance the viewing experience.

I Know You All Think I Only Watch Documentaries...

...but I can also appreciate narrative films with great performances. I just got through watching three films I'm sure many of you have seen by now. I liked each of them.

The first was a movie called Milk (or as I like to call it, "Melk"). I had already seen the Oscar-winning documentary The Times Of Harvey Milk, so I knew a lot of the story. Sean Penn was excellent.

The next one was The Wrestler. I hadn't seen any trailers or clips from it before I watched it and it wasn't what I had anticipated. I thought it was great - very sad - and Mickey Rourke was outstanding.

Lastly, I watched Doubt. Again, this film was full of wonderful performances. I think this Meryl Streep person might have a bright future in acting if she keeps working at it. She was phenomenal. As my friend likes to say, she's so good, she could believably play a fourteen-year-old boy.
