This month I watched 5 movies and 4 tv seasons on dvd!Friday Night Lights Season 1- As I talked about in my FNL devoted post, I didn't exactly love it when I started watching but held on and about halfway through season 1 I WAS HOOKED.
Art and Copy- Really interesting. Reminded me of the format of Helvetica which I liked slightly better but it was still very interesting. About the Advertising Industry.
Friday Night Lights Season 2- The beginning of the season started off with a few weird plot lines but it was still good and shook off that weirdness about halfway through.
New Moon- About the same as the book, my least favorite. "Jacob" definitely shined though.
Friday Night Lights Season 3- Goooood. Just watch it, seriously.
Up- Really cute. I especially liked the beginning, wasn't expecting how cute it was! I think the Incredibles is still my favorite Pixar movie though.
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Season 1- This was perfectly brought from the page to the screen. The books were always a little slow for me so I think they actually work better on tv. It's sad to hear it might not be continuing. I guess we will see. I loved the 7 episodes in Season 1.
Revolutionary Road- Um ok, really depressing. It was different that I thought it would be but it was still interesting. I liked Kate Winslet's other movie from that year, The Reader a lot more.
Fantastic Mr. Fox- This movie was pure Wes Anderson despite it being animated. All his trademarks and quirks were still visible! Loved it!
Great movies/tv!
ReplyDeleteFNL is awesome!!!!
And I really want to see Up & Fantastic Mr Fox! :)
I've heard some excellent things about Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. Hope to get to this one while it's in theaters.
ReplyDeleteI loved the dogs in Up but overall, I thought the movie was kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteI spent most of November getting caught up on all the TV shows that I've been neglecting for almost a year.
ReplyDeleteI am so hooked on FNL it's absurd. And I can't stand football.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to see No. 1 Ladies - I will have to put that on my list.
I guess I am a little "behind" as I didn't realize that "The No 1 Lady detective" was published internationally . . . It was shown on our local satelite TV and we enjoyed it very much :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you felt that way about New Moon. I didn't like the book either (that one and Breaking Dawn were painful to get through!) and I thought the movie was slow and long. Jacob did great though-he's the only one who can really act I think.
