WHAT I WOULD DO WITH AN ARMY OF CLONES

I apologize for another Matrix joke today. I imagine by now if you’re anything like me, you’re sick of the debate over The Matrix Reloaded. Quite frankly, I’m sick of the nitpicking and the defensiveness. I liked the movie. I just wish everyone else would shut up about it.

That said, I just had to run with today’s sight gag. Mostly because I would chuckle like a drunken goat at the thought of me requesting a grilled cheese sandwich while an army of solemn doppelgangers stood behind me.

I should mention that Cami and I have already seen Down With Love and I thought it was great! In fact, I may have liked it even more than Cami did – which is a shocker because she loves romantic comedies from the 60’s.

For me, Ewan McGregor is the whole reason to go. He’s so cool and confident, it’s beyond description. Ren

WHY ROMANTIC COMEDIES CONTINUE TO SUCCEED

WHY ROMANTIC COMEDIES CONTINUE TO SUCCEED

In case you haven’t gathered, today’s strip references Down With Love – a delightful little film I encourage you to see.

Cami and I caught a matinee on Sunday, and I’m still thinking about it a week later. That’s saying something since it has to compete for real estate with the revolving head game that was The Matrix Reloaded.

I knew going in to see Down With Love that it would be a confection wrapped in period costumes, but I had a lot of fun with it. I’m really beginning to warm to the idea of remaking films from past generations with a modern filter placed between them. Kind of like what they did with Far From Heaven, but y’know… entertaining.

I have to admit that Ewan McGregor is cooler than cool and I’ve been a fan of his for a long time. He carries the picture on his back and is a joy to watch.

ENJOYABLE

This may be tedious, but it is my duty to talk about the movies I have recently watched. It has been awhile, but here it goes!

Bend It Like Beckham I was in a great mood when I saw this film in Uptown Minneapolis while visiting some friends. The movie kept me in a great mood. At first it teetered on the edge of becoming another Big Fat Ethnic Farse, but the movie turned out to be enjoyable. There were a few moments and concepts that I couldn’t quite believe, but my wife explained my questions with a simple answer it’s because they were in love. Whatever. Anyway, Keira Knightley should be enough for any guy to want to watch this film.

Finding Nemo Great film. Go see it. Great for the whole family, even if your whole family consists of two twenty somethings.

One Hour Photo Cool film. Good story and a nice visual style. I was really uncomfortable during the trespassing scenes, which is good. I like it when I can become involved in a movie.

Serendipity I did not want to watch this. I thought it was a girl movie. Either I was wrong or I am a girl, because I really enjoyed this. Kate Beckinsale was great, as well as the rest of the cast.

Down with Love Clever. I liked this movie, and thought Ewan McGregor was great. It was interesting how they picked up the style of the early 60’s and roasted them at the same time. Like the movies of the time, it is light and carefree. Definitely not a thinker.

Men in Black 2 Fun. I found this Blockbuster to be quite you guessed it enjoyable. (I’ll try to stop saying that about every movie.)

Joe’s Apartment I didn’t see it before and now I remember why. The House of Large Sizes T-shirt was the highlight of the movie. House is a band from my college town that I have seen maybe 11 or 12 times.

To Die For Someone should tell me what happens at the end, because I fell asleep. It wasn’t bad, just past my bedtime.

Just Married Great movie. Being just married myself, (less than a year ago) I found many of the situations very familiar. Ashton Kutcher is awesome and Brittany Murphy actually looked good.

Punch Drunk Love I hated this movie while watching it. I keep randomly thinking about it though, and now I have convinced myself that it is a really good film.

Pinero If I had watched this film two years ago, I would have loved it. My life has changed enough to not feel the empathy I used to with the type of characters in this film.

They Pretty scary. The alternate ending is the one I prefer.

Darkness Falls Very similar to They. It was only 75 minutes long. What’s up with that? I thought the story should have been more developed. The documentary on the dvd about the real story is spooky.

That’s all for now. To all the Americans out there have a great holiday. I’d like to thank the Brits for yet another day off from work. Cheers!
