"Movie Madness"
22 March '98 - I watched like 6 movies this weekend. They include: "Dead Man", "Dream with the Fishes", "Contact", "Fear", "In the Company of Men", and bits of some other movies whilst channel surfing. In a nutshell:
Dead Man - my first Jim Jarmusch film (who graduated from the same high school as I did). I really enjoyed it. However, I was making lasagna while watching, so I probably should rent it again and really pay more attention to it (doomed to multitask as a result of my job). But it's a really good movie.
Dream with the fishes - This was a really great little movie. It was up at Sundance last year I guess...worth renting if you are into good little movies (low-budget, no special effects).
Contact - Good movie. Now I have a little crush on Matthew McConaughey, cos he played such an upstanding guy in the movie.
Fear - Long story why I like this movie, let's just leave it at "it's not the guns, it's the voice" (of course this is an inside joke/statement, and you probably don't get it, so don't sweat it)
In the Company of Men - Geez. I could write a small novel about that one. I dated a Chad. I know other guys I didn't date that were like Chad. Women, for some godforsaken reason, end up dating more Chads than Howards. Now, don't ask me why, cos I don't get it either. Guys, do you really talk like that amongst yourselves? Also, on a more critical note, I thought the movie should have ended with "I'll see you on Monday" (this gives nothing away)..if you've seen it, let me know what you think.
And that's a wrap on the weekend.
