blue_lotus13 | What I watched the rest of July

Again, like I said, there have been few public posts around here lately. I'm writing a lot in a paper journal and have not been blogging as much.

Don't you forget about me- A documentary made by a group of filmmakers from Toronto, who go in search of the reclusive John Hughes. They interview lots of people associated with the work of John Hughes. This was a really sweet and interesting little film.

The Breakfast Club- I had to rewatch this since I've been reading a lot about John Hughes and watched "Don't you forget about me". This movie still holds up well, and the dialogue is great. I realized that I never realized that they were smoking pot when I first saw this movie as a kid. I thought they were smoking cigarettes.

Valentine's Day- I think I actually watched this movie in June, but what the hell. It was actually better/cuter than I expected. It was pretty damn dumb, but there were some cute parts and it was a decent piece of fluff. I love me a good rom-com.

Inception- Saw this on opening weekend with some friends. I really liked it, even though I missed a few plot points because I have trouble with action movies. But it was a good script, and visually stunning.

Baby Mama- I actually thought this was more interesting and funnier than I'd anticipated. It was neat to see a movie which dealt with infertility and female life issues and I liked both Tina Fey's acting and Amy Poehler's character. I even laughed out loud a couple of times, which is rare for me. However, I must say that I was disappointed by the ending of the movie and felt that the writers took the "safe" route.

Shaft- I thought this was amusing and I liked the style and some of Shaft's lines.

The Right Stuff- I picked this up off the shelf of the woman I was housesitting for. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought it was a fascinating movie. I learned a lot about the space program and really enjoyed the acting and the script.
