Okay, here are the movies watched since last post. I have a couple more that I need to watch, but with holidays coming up and ppl in town and being held accountable for my writing... well I figure I might as well do it now (partially to avoid my writing it seems...) but nevertheless, here is the list:
The 13th Day This is the story of The Lady of Fatima, watched per special request by my parents... no, sorry I am not converted back to Christianity. Sorry.
Muppet X-mas: Letters to Santa Seriously, you can't go wrong with the Muppets! Too cute. Made me fall in love with Pepé the King Prawn and his little stocking cap ;)
Cry Baby Why, yes, I'd like me some Johnny Depp! I've seen it like 6 years ago but wanted a good giggle and that's what John Waters provides :)
Away From Her Alzheimer's. In Canada.
Sex and the City Gilles Marini is a favorite at work ;) Hey it was a snow day, what do you expect? Quality filmwatching? ha
Beetlejuice It's out on DVD complete with three episodes of the cartoon. Goodtimes :)
On the Rumba River Nice for the music's sake but slow like Africa time :)
Zombieland Yeah, it was okay. I'm sad about the special appearance that ended with a gunshot :( And the place they wanted to go was obviously stupid. With that mentality how did those two girls avoid zombies in the first place?
30 Days Until I'm Famous I remember watching this one when it came out on VH1.. Soy una matadora, no seré tuya! hee hee. I wanna be famous!
Prep and Landing Cute Disney/elf flick. Cute enough with which to kill 40 minutes at work... I mean, uh...
Les Soeurs Fâchées The Angry Sisters, acc to my Frenchy sister :) was pretty nice
Mansfield Park it's always the right time for Jane Austen! :) I got confused b/c I thought I was gonna watch Northanger Abbey b/c I read the book, so when this came on, I was confused. Hadn't read this book, but guess I don't need to now! :)
From Dusk to Dawn Tarantino/Rodriguez vampire flick w/ George Clooney. I hope it was supposed to be funny b/c it was ;)
Soooo, 13 flicks in 12 days. Not too bad, eh?

I'm Baaaaaaack!
After a THREE year hiatus, I remembered I had this blog. Now please, do not expect an update of what movies I have watched in those two years, b/c that would bring me to tears. So instead, I will publish the last two notes I had written on another social site so you can feel updated.
Oh yeah, I have since graduated from Film Studies and watch movies for fun... Film Studies for Life!!!
Last 5 movies watched...

Well, it's more than 5, but the Flixster app isn't finding ANY of these in the database on the quiz I normally take, sooooo I'm writing them here... b/c you're dying to know what I've watched....
MOVIES WATCHED IN FULL:
The Proposal I looooove Sandra Bullock, both as an actress and as a person... She seems very genuine
Sex, Lies and Videotape Heard so much about it in my film class... aaand it was like $5 at Borders
Y Tu Mamá Tambien also $5 at Borders... gotta love the racy!
Casper Can I keep you? Watched with the fam (almost the WHOLE fam) on Halloween! :)
Kicking and Screaming Watched it cuz it was on at the Hunter household :) seen it before
Walt: The Man Behind the Myth Lew had a special copy... and provided commentary on his time with Walt Disney
Strictly Sexual sounds dirty, right? it's on hulu and I actually thought it wasn't half bad...
Pow Wow: A Native American Gathering almost made me cry to see the pride and the beauty... WHEN my movie gets made, I'm gonna cry too!
MOVIES WATCHED IN SNIPPETS:
Gremlins 2 soooo much better than the first! I LOVE the variety! was playing during trick or treating... i did a little of both :)
Holes saw this movie when it first came out, have the book, have the soundtrack. yup, i knew about shia lebeouf when he was just a lad in an orange jumpsuit! [edit: also was on Disney for Even Stevens]
Born to Dance Eleanor Powell and Jimmy Stuart
Arsenic and Old Lace classic
Well, that's it's for now! (And this is me on a break from movies! HA! Film Studies for LIFE!)

So here are some more movies watched. I try to write down in my calendar when I'm watching stuff, but sometimes I forget, so I expect this list to be missing some?
Arthur the one with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley. I hate her (acting) with a passion. ask me to do an impression of her sometime. seriously.
Chocolat mmmmmm yummy... for both Johnny Depp and the chocolate... I decided I can no longer watch that movie w/o a big supply of chocolate nearby!!
Great Indian Leaders & Nations this was a pretty cool movie. Leaders: Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph, Geronimo, Quanah Parker. Nations: Iriquois, Seminole, Navajo, Cheyenne and Lakota.
VeerZaara I've owned this (and many other Hindi movies) since my trip to India in Feb and have finally gotten around to this one, which Priya said is a good first Hindi movie for first time watchers, so if anyone is looking to get into the Bollywood scene, head over to the library of moi. ;)
Invention of Lying pretty cute. Jennifer Garner is kinda -eh-. Sometimes I wonder if I just hate all female actors lol. otherwise the movie is pretty cute.
Mixed Nuts has anyone else heard of this hilarious steve martin movie? jon stewart has a surprising role. adam sandler's in it. it's so cooky! my mom had gotten me the soundtrack for xmas one year b/c it's xmas songs, so when i found the VHS for a dollar at a goodwill, i had to see what it was all about... esp for Sandler's 'Grape Jelly' song ;)...
Birdcage Of course I love this movie! I also own the French original :)
G Force Poop in his hands, poop in his hands! took the nephews to this
Muppets from Space watched with the nephews
Goonies I'm proud of my nephews. They are smart enough to have this as a favorite movie. They are totally related to me! ;)
Up Seen it before with Mom, but took the nephews, sister and Dad too. Still a cute flick for sure!
The Battle of Little Big Horn another one of my Native movies. watched for fun/research. Pretty interesting. Did you know Custer was last in his class at West Point?! And they treated him like a hero for massacre of unarmed men, women and children. :(
Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom this HAS to be one of the most twisted movies I've watched. It was based on the Marquis de Sade so I knew it should have been twisted. It was made in Italy in the 70s so that should say it all right there, but it's supposed to be a classic/important. I'm not going into detail. You can find that here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal%C3%B2_o_le_120_giornate_di_Sodoma
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation always funny! :)
Wow, so that's the movies I've watched the past month! Film Studies for LIFE! lol
*END UPDATE
Wow, that's a lot of movies. Stay tuned for more!!
