Ye Compleat Film Guide
We just returned from seeing Seabiscuit.
(1 BOOGER®  )
You heard it was good, and it is. You heard that everybody in the audience cries; I didn't, and don't know why any man would. Women like Mother
Superior cry at weddings; men can only tear up at movies like Brian's
Song. Last night we downloaded Just Married (4 BOOGERs® )
which surprised me. It was much better than I anticipated, and actually
had a few good lines and some snickerss. There were
three Previews shown at the Movico Complex where we saw Seabiscuit;
all looked to be good.
-
Open
Range - even though I swore I would not get suckered into
another Kevin Costner directed movie, this looks like my kind of deal.
Robert Duvall plays a character that reminds me of Augustus McCrae in Lonesome
Dove, and that's good enough for me. - Trailer
-
Secondhand Lions
, also with Robert Duvall. "A coming-of-age story about a shy, young
boy sent by his irresponsible mother to spend the summer with his wealthy,
eccentric uncles in Texas." - Trailer
-
Intolerable Cruelty
- "A revenge-seeking gold digger marries a womanizing Beverly Hills lawyer
with the intention of making a killing in the divorce." Just check
out the cast! Unfortunately, even though it looks very good, the
star is George Clooney, and I vowed never to put another nickel in that
piece of shit's pocket, and I won't. There's a trailer, but you'll
have to find it your self.
While Mother Superior was visiting her parents
she took her mom to see Legally
Blonde 2 and, while she doesn't talk like this, if she did she'd say it was a piece of
shit. Even my mother-in-law commented, "I don't think Rodger will like this," (because of the PETA deal). Smart woman. That's
not why MS didn't like it however. She just thought it was silly
and humorless. You may not have our degree of sophistication however,
so see it if you must. They both liked Bruce
Almighty.
Finally, Du Toit writes," Your movie list should
provide fodder for at least three of four psychiatric conferences in the
future..." It's that fourth one I want. I copied the list films
I've rated at IMDB
over the past 9-10 years. Have at it.

Robert Duvall is one of my favorite current actors. And I'm secretly in love with Gus.
