Tuesday we watched the first movie our first movie of the year: The Last King of Scotland. It is about the dictatorship in Uganda, based on history.

On the 25, watched The Bourne Ultimatum cut in half in the width (ya know, full-screen b.s. - I was just a guest) I have to get all 3 straight, but this will require to juggle with videostores in my area as they don't seem to be consistent: no way I'll rent the full-screen. In the top 250.

Yesterday, we watched 3 movies:

Laberinto del fauno, El (Pan's Labyrinth). A nice fairy tale in Franco's Spain. In both the top 250 and my Oscars 2007 list.

Superbad. Hilarious movie, if you don't fear the high-school jokes, R-rated. I think it goes toward a new generation of teen comedy, more crude than the "brat-packers" comedies from John Hughes.

Balls of fury. Kung-fu with balls, aka Ping-Pong. I'd classify this film into the spoof category of espionnage - thriller - action - kung-fu. Christoper Walken raise the level of the movie a bit.

I'm actually late logging this. We got carried over the week-end, etc. No biggie. Looks like we'll be watching less movie and doing more outdoor stuff.

Last Friday, we watched Pirate of the Carribean: Dead man's chest, the sequel of the prequel. Good CGI. I think I prefer the prequel.

Thursday night, we watched Tomb Raider. The action/stunt is good, but the plot is very weak. I was not expecting much from a movie adaptation of a video game. Still light years ahead of Doom that strangely get the same rating on IMDB.


Good Friday, we watched Babel. Intricate dramatic stories, across the globe. On my Oscar 2007 movie. I think I liked it.

Today, I watched:

• Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan: sometime this movie has TMI. No kidding that Sacha Baron Cohen has so many pending lawsuits. I'm not a big fan of this kind of movies, but I had a good laugh.


• Little Miss Sunshine: part of the top-250 and Oscars 2007 list. Funny portrait of a very strange family: A son that made a vow of silence, a grand pa that inhale white powder, an uncle that attempted suicide, etc. They all go for a road trip from Albuquerque, NY to Los Angeles, CA, in the family rusty VW van.

Friday, watched Original Sin. A thriller taking place in Cuba. Nothing special about it beside the FFN of Angelina Jolie (for you pervs).

Then Pitch Black. Good quality Sci-Fi flick. I has a sequel: Chronicles of Riddick (that I had already seen).

Saturday, Marie-Antoinette. Historic drama by Sofia Coppola in Versailles, with Kirsten Dunst playing Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France. I just wish it was filmed in French with French actors...

And the Departed. According IMDB, this movie is a remake of a Hong Kong movie also in top #250 of IMDB. All I can say is that Martin Scorcese did a very good job and that Jack Nicholson is even more evil.
