WHAT I’VE BEEN WATCHING: DEC 11TH – DEC 17TH

Another week is over so it’s time to look back and sort of account for myself somehow. This was a hectic week for me noticing that during the week itself I saw no films, also didn’t go to the cinema since films released this week were sort of uninspiring, but still got around to a few interesting films this weekend that I’m glad I had the time to see.

FIRST TIME VIEWINGS

THE GUARD (2011) – a comedy about all those scenes that you don’t usually see in drug/cop movies and it’s fucking awesome
MONEYBALL (2011) – the core story and point is what drives the film into a good spot in my heart, but its execution feels middling at points
TERRI (2011) – It’s John C Reilly awesomeness and not much else.

REWATCHED

JUNO (2008)“I just like being a piece of furniture in your weird life”
THE WRESTLER (2008) –  “You’re my girl. You’re my little girl. And now, I’m an old broken down piece of meat… and I’m alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don’t want you to hate me.”
SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN (1952) –  “Oh, no offense. Movies are entertaining enough for the masses but the personalities on the screen just don’t impress me. I mean they don’t talk, they don’t act, the just make a lot of dumb show. Well, you know.”

THE COUNT

245 First Time Watches (108 Films released in 2011)

This is my blog. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My blog is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my blog is useless. Without my blog, I am useless. I must fire my blog true. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my blog and myself are defenders of my mind, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.
