movie of the week – Page 14

Movie of the Week: Con Air.

OK, sophisticated cinema Con Air is not. But it has John Malkovich in it, and you can sort of tell that John found the entire experience sort of restful, really. Sometimes it’s nice not to have to focus too hard on your motivation, know what I mean?

And so, farewell to Small Soldiers – which had much the same appeal, when you think about it.

Movie of the Week: Small Soldiers

I will not apologize for liking Small Soldiers:

This was a movie made for every eleven year old who looked at his parents’ garage, looked at his action figures, and sighed at the tyranny of adults. Plus, Dennis Leary, in the part of Deus Ex Machina.

So, farewell to It Happened Here, with a sigh of relief that, in point of fact, it did not.

Movie of the Week: It Happened here.

It Happened Here is speculative: I’m trying to convince myself that owning it is worth almost a month’s allowance. There isn’t a local library that has it, you see (amazing how more useful a source that gets in general once you have kids).

And farewell to Firefox, which probably is at the library. I wonder whether that’s a reflection on my priorities, or its.

Movie of the Week: Firefox.

We’re going to go with Firefox this week because… you know what? Just fly the damn plane.

And so, adieu to His Girl Friday

Movie of the Week: His Girl Friday.

I mostly picked His Girl Friday (1940) because I caught the first ten minutes of it a couple of days ago on YouTube and got hooked; I figure that it’ll probably be at the library…

Heh. How quickly we got used to the idea that DVDs are at the library. Heck, how quickly we got used to the idea of YouTube. And DVDs.

Anyway, farewell to Shaun of the Dead.

Movie of the Week: Shaun of the Dead.

Shaun of the Dead isn’t precisely my first choice. It’s just that my first choice was going to be an alternate history flick: there are very few alternate history flicks that I have seen; and pretty much all the ones that I have seen are crap. So… Shaun of the Dead.

And adieu to The Muppet Movie.

PS: There are a lot of crappy werewolf flicks out there. Just saying.

Movie of the Week: Toy Story.

Although I could have just as easily picked Toy Story 2 as I did Toy Story: the former was one of those rare sequels that holds up well to the original. Let’s hope that continues.

And so, adieu to District 9.
