If your set lameness standards by how many movies you see in a summer. And I do.
So I moved to Montreal a couple months ago, and have since neglected my sad blog for almost two months - unheard of in the history of Sarahnomics! I’ve been traveling around a lot - we’ve gone all over New York state, Vermont, Toronto, and we’re headed back to Vancouver for a little visit at the end of the month. It’s been busy. I have actually gone to see a few films, but haven’t felt like writing blog posts. I am going to list the films I’ve seen in the last couple months and then give them a rating out of 10.
The Human Centipede - For pure camp value, and extreme originality - 6.5/10
The Black Death - Saw this at Fantasia Film Fest - Sean Bean in medieval mode - 8/10
I Am Love - Tilda Swinton!! - 8/10
Inception - 9/10
Twilight Eclipse - Forced to go, some part of me wanted to see just how awful it could be - the 4 points are because I find KS hot- 4/10
The Other Guys - Awful, unfunny, 2 points are for one or two somewhat funny Ferrell scenes - 2/10
Robin Hood - I liked it more than anyone else. 7/10
Toy Story 3 - Only the most arrogant contrarian would give this movie anything less than a 9/10
Winter’s Bone - top ten of the year - 9.5/10
I’m pretty sure I’m missing some, but that’s cool. It’s more important to draw attention the movies I haven’t seen yet, including Scott Pilgrim, The Expendables, and Piranha 3D!! Who do I think I am?!?!?! Anyway, with autumn comes a renewed zest for blogging (I hope) and the fall film offerings. There’s an awesome theater here that plays classics and art house films, and I’ve already gone a few times to see Jules et Jim, In The Mood For Love, and some Kurosawa classics. Also taking up my time are True Blood (incredible), Mad Men (stunning), and the Pillars of the Earth miniseries (started great, tripped up towards the end - mostly it was just great to see Ian McShane in something.)
Hope you had a wonderful summer!
