Weekend Movies
AW and I watched two movies over the weekend -- one on tv and one a Netflix offering. Both movies were very good although very different. It seems that we managed to reach a happy medium in our cinema viewing this week.
The first, from Netflix, was "Ghost Town". A really cute movie with Ricky Gervais is sort of a "Ghost" in comedic form. I love Gervais in "The Office" and was thrilled to see him do such a good job in this movie. It was basically a love story and a ghost story, poignant and funny. It was entertaining and I recommend.
The second movie, "A Time to Kill" was older, circa 1992 or so, with Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaghy, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland and Sandra Bullock. It was centered around a murder case -- Jackson's character murdered two white men for the rape of his daughter--and the subsequent trial and unrest that it evoked in a small southern town. It was a really good movie with a great cast. I would definitely recommend this one -- let's just say the younger cast is easy on the eyes.
I have no clue what is next on my Netflix list but, after several weeks of movies that I wasn't thrilled with, I was glad that "Ghost Town" turned out to be so good!

Haven't seen either of those, but I'll have to put them on our Netflix list. We've had a pretty good run lately. Over the weekend we watched "Bee Movie" - the Jerry Seinfeld animated thingie from a couple years back. It was very cute and very funny - a lot like his TV show, but not as nasty.
And last week we watched "Taken" (Liam Neeson - speaking of "easy on the eyes"), and "Matchstick Men" with Nicolas Cage. I'm a big Nicolas Cage fan, so I like just about anything with him in it, but even M liked that one, so I guess it must have been OK.
Oh yes, "Taken", Liam Neeson is my all time favorite - I have liked him since "A Woman of Substance". Allen even teases me about my Liam crush -- well, it is what it is! "Taken" was a very good movie -- haven't seen "Bee Movie". I will have to put it on the list. I am not sure what is up next on the queue but it will probably be here today!
