What can I really say about this week? I’ve sat in three job interviews and am starting to feel that things might work out in the next few weeks. I know this is complete speculation which is worth as much as my psuedo-pay cheque that I’m cashing right now (i.e. I don’t have one), but it’s giving me some solace.
Otherwise I’ve finally completed watching House of Cards Season 2; I’m still torn about the second half of the season, why didn’t we keep in with the media stuff…. Also I’ve began my rewatch of Game of Thrones and I’m already 7 episodes in and it reminds how amazing the first season of this show is.
Anyways, here’s my week of film watching to enjoy:
THE HUNGER (1983) – I still prefer Only Lovers Left Alive as my “David Bowie” vampire film…
TO BE OR NOT TO BE (1983) – Loved it… discovered it’s a remake… love it so much
KICKING AND SCREAMING (1995) – Not perfect, but I like the weird humour of it
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY (2013) – Acting is top notch, but sometimes hatred is hard to love
PHILOMENA (2013) – This movie is the perfect kind of sappy adorableness that works
DIRTY PRETTY THINGS (2002) – I love me some Chewitel… this movie was ok
UNDEFEATED (2011) – It’s the real life version of Friday Night Lights… and I love Friday Night Lights… so….
PATTON OSWALT: TRAGEDY PLUS COMEDY EQUALS TIME (2014) – Oswalt makes me laugh, but not as much as his previous specials.
VERONICA MARS (2014) – The show was fun dumb mediocre… extending the episode length didn’t help
REWATCHED
THE SEVENTH SEAL – “We must make an idol of our fear, and call it god.”
FRANCES HA – “Oh yes, very undateable.”
RESERVOIR DOGS – “Hey, why am I Mr. Pink?”
SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD – “Bread makes you fat?”
My count for the year of 2014 is updated to 71 First time watches (13 from 2014); 34 Rewatches; 105 Total Films
